Sci/fi to sci/fact?
No. SyFy to SyFak
Personally...I wouldn't rescue them. They and their kids can die from their stupidity...means taking them/future progeny out of the gene pool for the betterment of society.
"If they would rather die," said Scrooge, "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."
What a factboy!
Er, sorry, carry on...
A trekkie troll in a Star Wars article? Really?
Hokey phasers and ancient "captains" are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.
I do or I do not, there is no try.
I count myself amongst the freeloaders, shamefully
Why should you or anyone be ashamed of making free use of a public domain resource? That freedom is your right, and Project Gutenberg facilitates the process. Good for both of you!
I agree the donating poster should be lauded, as should the Project itself, but you needn't throw on the sackcloth and ashes in response.
By the way, if others are cash poor yet want to help out, another way of donating to the Project is with your time. Why not help them digitize old books or record audio books? I've done the former (it's actually rather fun, but I'm an editing geek), and the latter seems like an intriguing idea.
Of course, it's possible that a goodly portion of LA's pollution is actually China's fault too:
Ozone from Asia is wafting across the Pacific on springtime winds and boosting the amount of the smog-producing chemical found in the skies above the Western United States, researchers said in a study released Wednesday.
The study, published in the journal Nature, probes a phenomenon that has puzzled scientists in the last decade: Ground-level ozone has dropped in cities thanks to tighter pollution controls, but it has risen in rural areas in the Western U.S., where there is little industry or automobile traffic.
At the Mensa society meeting
Lisa: Now next week is our "state of the city" address. Has everyone finished their proposals?
Comic Book Guy: Well first of all I've a plan to eliminate obesity in women.
Lyndsey Nagle: Oh please, for a nickel-a-person tax increase we could build a theatre for shadow puppets.
Dr. Hibbert: Balinese or Thai?
Lyndsey Nagle: Why not both, then everybody's happy.
CBG: Oh yeah, everyone's real happy then.
Lyndsey Nagle: Do I detect a note of sarcasm?
Frink: (With sarcasm detector) Are you kidding? This baby is off the charts mm-hai.
CBG: A sarcasm detector, that's a real useful invention.
(Sarcasm detector explodes)
The only bright side to all this is that Irish babies are, in fact, delicious.
Well, that certainly gives a whole new spin to "Swiftboating."
We're supposed to be logical and have superior reasoning abilities, and there's absolutely nothing logical or reasonable about getting ink permanently injected into your skin.
Yes, because making snap, blanket statements about people's lifestyle choices is the epitome of logic and reason.
it's the only dick measuring contest where the winner is the smallest one...
Unless the UID is a denominator with, say, "1" for a numerator.
now why would a mime do that?
Despite being trapped in a glass box, a painfully high wind inevitably rises up, and no amount of invisible rope is going to save you from a pummeling. I mean, you're trapped in a box made of glass! Many of them can't take the pressure and mime shooting themselves in the head. A lot of them miss -- with an invisible gun and bullets, this is perhaps inevitable -- but many hit their mark all too well, causing a great red flower to burst from their temples.
Mimes are a truly misunderstood underclass, deserving of our pity, not our scorn.
How can you even be on Slashdot and post something that ignorant?
If it weren't for your user number, a hearty "You must be new here!" would seem appropriate. However, it would feel too much like yelling at old people to be very amusing.
No, but we do see all of the subliminal commands you guys are missing.
We just stay seated when everyone else is ordered to do the chicken dance while singing like Carol Channing during the secret "intermission."
As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality. -- Albert Einstein
