Yes, but how likely are you to die prematurely if you NEVER SIT AT ALL?!

Standing - The ultimate secret in attaining immortality....

I was unaware that the Tea Party and so called, "Stupid People" were actively not paying taxes. Seems like we'd be hearing more complaints from the IRS were that the case. They are, however, protesting issues they feel are unjust, which they are well within their rights to do. They are still in obedience to the laws of the land, and uphold the spirit of the same which gives them the right to peaceably assemble and protest, regardless of whether or not we agree with them.

This is where reading the whole passage and not just one verse is nice, since it leaves less room for potentially errant interpretation. For example, here's the whole passage starting with the verse we've already seen:

Hopefully Zondervan won't condemn me in the last days with a curse for violating their IP in the use of that translation.... I suppose I could claim that Paul had prior art? IANAL....
Anyway, it still leaves a lot of room for interpretation, but at least that's hopefully a bit more clear than when just one verse was given by the grandparent poster. It more clearly means that human laws are to be obeyed. When taken in context with the rest of the Bible, the exception for not obeying evil laws is added.

Only if personality were set at conception. This is saying that personality is set well after first grade. The personality formed by that stage of life could be due to nurture or nature. It's only nature that makes it stick after it's been set.
Just my .02 cents.

This is explained. From TFA: Finally, we were able to distribute the 55,882,296 cosets of H among a large number of computers at Google and complete the computation in just a few weeks. Google does not release information on their computer systems, but it would take a good desktop PC (Intel Nehalem, four-core, 2.8GHz) 1.1 billion seconds, or about 35 CPU years, to perform this calculation.

"The largest wildlife census of its kind conducted in Chernobyl has revealed that mammals are declining in the exclusion zone surrounding the nuclear power plant."

Phew, that's a relief. With all that radiation, I was expecting something more like this to be happening to the mammals: http://www.snowspotmedia.com/blog/2010/04/06/Yao_Guai_by_Cyberpunk1989.jpg

Because if you don't have magic keys like that, then the terrorists and pedophiles win!

"they were able to correlate P300 brain waves to guilty knowledge with 100 percent accuracy in the lab"

Bet the accuracy wouldn't be so good in a non-controlled, non-laboratory environment. Of course, that wouldn't necessarily stop such a technology from being used, now would it?

The truth is, these keys are really just a safe guard in case /. ever posts Article Omega, bringing about the systematic slashdotting of the ENTIRE INTERNET!!!

Cemeteries make great hangout spots for more than just goths. For my friends and I in high school, the favorite spot to meet and talk and spar (we were all kind of martial arts nuts) was the local cemetery, and none of us were or are goths. The graveyard just provided a nice quiet place to have fun without worrying about bumping into little children or elderly folks like we would in the park. The grounds were better and more pleasantly kept than in the park, as well. We made sure not to disturb graves or markers, especially while sparring (we reserved that for open areas where anyone was yet to be planted), and so local authorities and the groundskeeper never had a problem with us being there.

When home from college, some of us still meet there and chat, though we don't spar quite as much anymore.

Grave markers can make for interesting reading, too.

Intel thanks you, people of China, for the gift of your body's water....

He said "ouch" at the end. He must have died as he was typing it.

Who cares if they tear one down? There would still be 5 others... unless of course the Japanese send 6 flag-tearing robots to do the job.

We have the same system with DC++ here, including support from ResNet, though the minimum share level is 5GB. Problem now is that since the system is tolerated by the admins, to cover their own skins (understandably) file sharing has been restricted to non-copyrighted files, with violators being permanently banned from DC++. As such it's hardly used anymore except for finding things like Linux distros without cutting into internet bandwidth allotment, and sneakernet's becoming more popular again.

I find it amusing that xkcd bothers to define -40 degrees Celsius as, "Spit goes 'clink.'" I know it's trying to offer intuitive ways to make the switch without having to reference Imperial units, but -40C and -40F are exactly the same.
