Yup, I'd just love to see the dude in that photo leap from couch to coffee table... OK, he might try it if that was the only way to get to the potato chips... poor coffee table...
Honestly, I can't figure out why the moralists are against this.
Because they think that anything but obeying their moral standards is sin. So even if the behavior is already taking place, to give ANY credence to the concept that someone has a right to look at porn is against their whole world view. The xxx TDL would be giving sin a home, and official blessing from governments that don't block it automatically... Oh, Hey China, didn't see you standing there.
I'm hard pressed to imagine how listening to the senators from other districts is going to help him make a choice that represents his contributors.
FTFY. Really when it comes to abortion most people have their minds already fixed on a position... politicians even more so. This topic galvanizes people based on philosophy, religion, or affiliation lines. Like everyone else in the room he already knows how he will vote on the issue, and nothing short of the new "Mike Bennett Turnpike" will change his mind.
They operate mainly by having the water soaking their heads evaporate. This changes the temperature of the refrigerant, causing it to change density (some turns from vapor to liquid) and alter the balance of the bird. Without a water supply to replenish the system, it would soon no longer be able to "peck" at the submit key.
I’m excited about the James Webb. Since it is one step further to something that almost sounds surreal:
In our lifetimes, telescopes will become advanced enough, to be able to see lifeforms on other planets with a better resolution than Google earth/maps right now.
Think about that for a minute... Just wow.
Oh Great... You just know where this will lead... Intragalactic goatse...
Well Googling notebook computer only gets me 12,700,000 hits (slightly less than half the result for laptop computer), so maybe it's on a par with the people that actually use the things on their laps...
In the US you currently pay tax on any legal gaming winnings, but in many cases it's almost the honor system as far as reporting goes. Also, If you DO win, documented losses are deductible but that just might get you audited if you have not been reporting in previous years and suddenly you win big and can produce documentation of past losses...
BTW, you're supposed to report and pay taxes on unlawful winnings as well, but I doubt most people do. And I'm pretty sure unlawful wager losses are not deductible, but I don't know anyone that has tried it.
In fact that's just how we got the great salt flats in Utah. The bottom might not be flat but the top is as level as anything gets in nature. As evaporation continued the water just keeps re-leveling the surface until the water is gone and you get this big plain of salt.
A little reading shows that it only barely became hospitable to microorganisms a few times when massive rains diluted the salt temporarily... Animals that live around it do not get water from it for the same reason, they need rain water and river water, not more salt... And adding salt water to saturated salt water does not reduce the net saline for long because so much salt is dried on the banks or fallen out of solution... sitting there just waiting to redissolve.
It is tempting to want to "save" things from natural effects of modern life, people are using the water so people should fix it. But once that water entered the dead sea, it too died, better it be used for something. In the end this is just as big a waste of money as trying to protect a city that is below sea level but situated by the ocean... one day it will be game over.
As to a tourist destination, well they could Monty Python the signs and call it:
Yes, yes... lets spend money pumping water into something called "The Dead Sea". Or we could have a brand new salt flats area for people to try driving really fast.
Interestingly, the U.S. Constitution was written with this passage about the census:
Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.
So each non-free person (slave) counted as 3/5 of a person... That's Article 1, Section 2. It was later modified by The 14th Amendment, Section 2, to lose the fraction but still "excluding Indians not taxed".
That's pretty much boiler plate for any EULA or TOS. Here is Slashdot's version: Geeknet reserves the right, at Geeknet's sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of these Terms periodically. And that's in the first section of the TOS.
So, all this time I've been pronouncing it "yipervisor" and people were snickering at THAT... I guess it's a relief really... I thought it was because of my mohawk/mullet.

Amen... but Merowe Dam is 9 km (5.6 mi).

Not only that - "Twinkie defense" just got a whole new meaning with this...
until they get the creme filling based weapons operational... It's gonna look like a giant porn attack!

So, bottom line, it's a pecker head?

If you are banned from using a computer, being a sysadmin is kind of difficult.
But you could print up really witty bumper stickers like:
My notebook IS a notebook!
Sorry, forgot to mention that in no case can you deduct more than your total winnings.

Also, If you DO win, documented losses are deductible but that just might get you audited if you have not been reporting in previous years and suddenly you win big and can produce documentation of past losses...

I hope they pay it in loose dimes (Ok, Ok, Ten Centavos pieces)...
Where's your head at?
And that's the key! If we can get these things to grow near the groin and with the proper orientation they could be really popular...
You mean Chinese made. The only thing exported from stateside these days are Britney Spears videos.
I think her kids are also locally sourced... but I don't follow that stuff too closely because, hey, none of it's spilling my direction..

For those plants that have active lives!
Yes, yes... lets spend money pumping water into something called "The Dead Sea".
Or we could have a brand new salt flats area for people to try driving really fast.

I was going to say they should stop at outright lies but this is journalism after all.
I miss the old days when journalists stuck to incredibly biased deception and left the outright lies to the professionals in politics...
Obligatory XKCD
So, all this time I've been pronouncing it "yipervisor" and people were snickering at THAT... I guess it's a relief really... I thought it was because of my mohawk/mullet.
I like to think of it as "The Mohlet".
