99.9% of HDR photos I've seen look like clown puke. Now we'll be able to watch clown puke videos, yay.

Don't know about you but I did derive a whole working brain from a few million bytes of DNA. ;)

I've yet to see softcore porn of midget clowns on 7ft women, so I'll stick to hardcore thanks.

Repeat after me - Changing orbital planes requires very large amounts of propellant.

Mostly because Congress is more concerned with funding the military industrial complex than scientific advancement that doesn't include more efficient ways to kill people.

Hey, cables are important. That $10,000 fiber optic cable is probably 24k gold plated, micro-crystalline silver contacts, and imported Swiss glass because Swiss sand holds the optimum current, for true reproduction of the photons warm tones. Hey wait...

Yeah people don't bond with their pets at all, you sociopathic fuck.

You shouldn't go to Taiwan to get injected with anything really.

Not to mention that a handful of bullets are a whole lot cheaper than a concoction of deadly chemicals and the personnel to administer them! It's saving tax payer dollars, everybody should be for firing squads!

Guess you haven't read the EULA.

Because it's more profitable to put a cap on it and charge you an arm and a leg (literally) if you go over the cap. Depends if it's a hard or soft cap, didn't RTFA naturally.

Then make your own god damn cheeseburger. Why anybody goes to a fast shitfood restaurant instead of making their own food is beyond me. Homemade always tastes better by over 9000%.

I wasn't talking about the spill specifically. It is the exploitation of finite resources, no matter the risk, for monetary gain. Using your own hand waving eradicating smallpox won't have any significant effect in a million years. There's bound to be a nastier bug between now and then after all, right? We're even helping create nasty bugs with the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, for one thing. The point though is that humans segregate themselves into small groups that try to exploit one another or the environment for as much resources as possible in as small amount of time as possible. This has and will create social and environmental disasters. The problem isn't the spill, it's what's in our brains.

This time it isn't species threatening, you're right. What it does is show though is a pervasive attitude our species has for ignoring long term consequences of our collective actions.

That's like saying the sun naturally releases lots of radiation so it's okay to go jump into a nuclear reactor. The organisms around natural leaks are vastly different and have adapted to such locations over hundreds of thousands of years. And it's not like that 2000bbp, which I'll just take your word for, is all out of one location either. You can't just go pour oil over everything and then go, "Well oil naturally occurs so it'll be fine!" Really rather absurd.
