Now if they could just be gotten to stop playing solitaire afterwards, they could move on to other lessons.
Write the game so that the longer you play, the more cards go randomly missing. Once they get down to about 45 cards the game will not be much fun anymore... Call it Terminal Solitaire.
Clean, potable water is limited, we have cubic miles of stuff we can't drink or cook with... although clean sea water would be about perfectly seasoned for cooking pasta, rice, or potatoes. As for expense, it's expensive to lift anything into space, but if we don't do something soon, we are going to have to armor plate everything we send up just to get through the "shotgun zone" we are creating up there... lifting armored ships and payloads would also be expensive and would not help reduce the problem.
See, I though the quotes meant to retrieve fingerprints, as in "Fingerprint the suspect" or "Fingerprint the car door". The tag on the RSS feed said 'Cheap Scanners Can "Fingerprint" Paper' and for a moment, I thought me and my Visioneer were off to a wonderful new career in forensics... Crap....
As for instructions, place all ingredients in commercial blender and blend on high for two minutes (you have to hold the lid down because the kittens will not like this). Centrifuge the resulting goo for 20 minutes. Place ONLY the clear liquid portion of the results in a cotton candy machine and place that inside a vacuum chamber. Reduce air pressure inside chamber to zero PSI. When cotton candy machine has heated to operating temperature activate spinner. Shut down machine, slowly release the vacuum, and then collect your Fogbank on a paper cone.

OK, 3,213 employees(and former employees, one would think) in the database. Forty firms are paying £3,000 on a yearly basis for information on that tiny little group... How often do those 3,213 people apply for new jobs?
These numbers are like Minnie Mouse, I think they're fu*king Goofy.
Visa objects to your suggestion that a word it considers to be part of one or more of it's trademarks (i.e. "Priceless") be used as a keyword or identifier tag on the internet in any manner whatsoever without prior authorization... Don't make us get our lobbyists out!
It's a clinical trial, it has two years yet to run.
So, then they just yank the thing out of his head? Surely something like this requires a lot of ongoing maintenance and if the trial is over who would provide that service? Hopefully they won't just flash the BIOS so the thing goes to a test pattern or something...
The government should be providing access to its video content for "free" in a much broader sense. We are paying for through our taxes after all. We shouldn't be subject to corporate sponsorship, corporate data-mining/tracking etc.
Well, the thing is we are not paying for it with anything, that's why it was hosted on a free service. We did pay for the content to be created, and we can pay more so they can host it somewhere, but that's not the case right now. Your phrasing makes it sound like there is a distribution setup in place and ready to use at no additional cost, and I'm pretty sure that's not true. I have never heard anything about the office of the President of the United States had a high bandwidth, high availability video on demand delivery system.
And Doctor Who just seems to be able to go where ever he damn well pleases, as well.
Well sure, once you can go anywhen, it makes it a lot easier to go anywhere. Anyplace was everyplace (and very small to boot) at some point in time, so you go backwards in time until it's all close together, relocate, and then go forward in time staying with your new location...
Isn't that an infinite loop? If he is his own sock puppet, what is inside the sock? I now have this vision of an endless sock puppet with nothing but sock puppets inside, puppet as puppeteer... And now my brain hurts... Thanks
How about you? You are always that impolite? i was responding to the above person.
You think your very smart?
According to his profile he is sometimes Interesting, Insightful, Informative, Redundant, and occasionally posts Flamebait... Just the kind of person one would hope to find here.
In the end, isn't it ALWAYS people that pay the taxes? If a company has extra expense such as tax or tariff, it gets passed on down the line... or they fail to make a profit and fade away.
There are some that will see this as a feature, not a bug. Do what we say or we'll cook your crops in the field, turn your lakes into soup bowls and, did I mention the "popcorn" setting is very unfriendly to life forms..
Lead and lead alloys are on that list, so technically you could get arrested if you're found with a lead fishing weight in your pocket. (Yeah, I know, lead is being replaced by tungsten and other metals for sinkers.)
As used in this subsection, "paraphernalia for manufacturing slugs" means the equipment, products and materials that are intended for use or designed for use in manufacturing, producing, fabricating, preparing, testing, analyzing, packaging, storing or concealing a counterfeit facsimile of the chips, tokens, debit instruments or other wagering instruments... So if you have an old fishing weight, NBD, but if you have a box of them along with tools to cast them into slugs that work in slot machines, bad news.
If two or more items from the prohibited list are on your person (say, a torch and a pair of tongs), that permits a "rebuttable inference" that you intended to use them for cheating... and not, say, lighting charcoal for your hookah.
If you are smoking charcoal you will not last long enough for them to arrest you, the monoxide will do you in... you meant hibachi perhaps?
So anyway, I'd really like to know what devices are actually a felony to own.
They leave that open because to produce a list of items would instantly create the "My client's cheating device is not on your list" defense. Any device intended to be used for cheating covers future advances in gaming and cheating technology. And they don't normally go after someone without already having them on video cheating... they can still be SUED for abusing people that are found not guilty.
Another thing no one mentioned was that once someone is busted for using their iPhone to cheat, what legal ground are the programmers on?
Indeed, that is not uncommon. In at least one casino I frequented, one requirement for dealing used to be the ability to count the deck down accurately in under one minute, I don't know if that still holds true. The casinos adjust their behavior if the amount of play drops off, so they don't always cold deck a game for fear of losing players. They are now looking at continuous shufflers that reintroduce all the cards into play after each hand, but that has the same danger of losing players.

Actually, there are several missing ingredients.

Yes, indeed ... we have Congress ...
Thanks, my nose needed rinsed out with milk, and it has been awhile since I wiped off the keyboard and LCD...
Ahhh, at last a market for my seat cushion based DNA sampler! And my colleagues all said it was just a pain in the ass... Who's laughing now?
Note: Management is not responsible for infections due to dirty or re-used sampler needles.
Possibly being correct does not mean you aren't paranoid... Just as being paranoid does not mean no one is out to get you.

The user "twitter" is a twitter sockpuppet.

Can I use a Beowulf cluster of these to run my car?
Shhh! It's like a safe combination... you go north past 0' nine times and then stop at 176'24.68".
I said it before and I'll say it again:
Profanity is the last resort of desperately inarticulate motherfuckers.
How can you forget that bug? As I recall it went:
386
486
ummm... PENTIUM!
That really should have hinted at a math problem right there!
In the end, isn't it ALWAYS people that pay the taxes? If a company has extra expense such as tax or tariff, it gets passed on down the line... or they fail to make a profit and fade away.

Nor, as you suggest, is the moon too cold. Ghosts do not have a physical presence, so the temperature of the moon would mean nothing to them.
So, my patent for a method involving the freezing and storage of moon ghosts is probably worth a little less than I had hoped... sigh...
