"So we found out that even though we're giving you all that information for free, you're also spying on us and taking it secretly. That seems kind of redundant. It'd save money if we just let you steal the info yourself instead of handing it over."
"the interactions of a team of researchers whose journal articles are characterized by 'smoke and mirrors' could be modeled using the physics of airborne particulate combustion residues, combined in some way with classical optics."
This is what in scientific terms is referred to as a "sick burn".
Lambda calculus predates the invention of the compiler. It's always funny when programmers rediscover stuff and think they've invented something new.:P
Yeah, that sucked. It's available on DVD now, though.
(For my part, I was disappointed by End of Ages. After years of live actors in rendered environments, the animated 3D models just looked fake. I hope technology has caught up sufficiently for this game to look better.)
Not that it serves any purpose. But an experiment with mice is not complete unless it also includes a maze.
(In this case, of course, it served the purpose of forcing the mice to find their food by smell. I wonder what smells more strongly; a chocolate cookie or a rice cracker.)

Dr. Fredrick retracted the 2.9 claim, but defended the concept of positivity ratios:
In other words, people who are happy tend to think more happy thoughts than people who are unhappy.

why we're supposed to keep sending money to Wikipedia in order to to prevent it from becoming an advertisement platform.
Yeah, yeah, sure. We've become such an awful species now, compared to the enlightened past when slavery and genocide were considered a-ok.
There are in the number .3048, which is in the standard SI unit.

I suspect that you have that backwards.

33?
And now I'm going to keep using it, because it's pretty cool.
If I were an app developer, I'd be tempted to bribe Facebook to start going after my app and drive up interest. :P
It'd definitely have an application in food delivery or other tangible mail order stuff, yeah; Pizza is notoriously hard to transmit over TCP/IP. =D
(Though the drones may eventually get hacked to either hijack the merchandise or deliver spam. Could even conceivably be used for terrorism.)
That's only fifteen years away, not twenty.
This is happening!
Holy shit, this is incredible news!
Electromagnetic waves through air propagate at approximately .9997c.
(Addendum: Not that having China as the world's economic leader would be any better. That'd be the old Trains Running On Time argument.)
Because letting the global economy get taken hostage by a bunch of illiterate yahoos who hate healthcare is fucking stupid.
Because if there is one thing the age of digital communication has brought us, it is the ability to carry paper through the air.
Admittedly this is pretty cool, but so are zeppelins. Doesn't make it useful.
20%? They're probably confusing it with the NSA.
If you work for the government, you must use the email system your employer provides.
In a professional context?
That guys' lucky he's not being sued. Referring to a colleague as a prostitute is sexual harassment.
Well duh. I didn't want shots either, but luckily for me my parents were sane people and didn't let a ten-year-old make medical decisions.
oh...
oh god.
Can't tell if awesome or horrifying.
