It would be different if their journalism was truly exceptional. But it's not so why pay for it?

No the NYT is being shat upon because they are charging more for their wares than people that serve up video and audio. It's $36/year to subscribe to Pandora. NYT wants $35 for a month's worth of access. And you think WE are the insane ones? Get a grip.

I agree. The world should revolve around you and headlines should take your life into account going forward. I'll make a note of this sire and have the staff writing the Internet to make an adjustment.

Not much though. Creation of amino acids in the "primordial soup" does not explain where life came from, which is what both of those theories are in search of. Also, the original experiment has been improved greatly so they have the data now to confirm the formation of amino acids along with other building blocks. Fact is there's still a huge gap of knowledge between molecule and cell formation.

One interesting theory, possibly related depending on your view, is RNA-first formation. Another is silicate-based. There is a lot of info out there on these and other theories but if you want a good read on the subject of the formation of life I highly recommend the book Life as We Do Not Know It: The NASA Search for (and Synthesis of) Alien Life, by Peter Ward. *Warning* this book contains unscientific generalizations from a geologist *Warning*

That's the WWIC trend, or "Why Wasn't I Consulted?", where everyone thinks they should have a say in everything. For instance, slashdot. But at least we're smart enough to know we're just bitching and we don't expect the world to change for us.

No secret needed. I want to see this film. It was my favorite of all the books and I'm dying to see their interpretation of Smaug.

Why doesn't every house have a digital+analog lock with one time pad? And why doesn't my car fly?

It's called cost and effort smarty pants. It's not like we've been over here in the dark ignoring it.

Well they do get the very best weed available.

"What if we're just a speck on a speck on a speck and that speck stack is like, you know, like, infinite man."

You should probably read the article before talking about thick skulls bud. No private corporation raided anything.

I got intrigued also and went fishing, found this: http://www.kent-hovind.com/theory.htm

Because it's a personal philosophy. Many great minds have pondered where we came from and they present it as such, not as science.

Uh dude smelling like tuna is kind of impolite in most of the social circles I run in. But that's just me, not judging.

Only a dumb fuck would say taking down a botnet is a bad thing.

That all started back in 1997 when slashdotters stopped reading the fucking articles.

Holy shit, where do you live? I'm heading up from Florida right now!
