Lord knows my grocery bill has gone way up. Or more often, it has stayed the same, but I buy less food with the same money.

I wonder what the Vegas odds are on whether Obama or Romney will tell more lies.

Snickers! It satisfies!

Problem with that is the Air Force likes to classify everything, so we'd never see most of their scientific advances.

If they government takes all of the money currently marked for Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt (outside any payments for our own stuff, I'm just talking the free money they give away) and gave it to NASA, the organization would likely triple in size.

Unlike just about every other branch of government, NASA routinely either broke even or even made money, thanks to all of the stuff they invented. Heck, if they had patented all of it, the government would have a huge cash cow in NASA.

I have a high UID, and I'm almost 41 in real life. I just never bothered to register until recently.

That's the smart answer. I'd have the winning $200,000,000 Powerball ticket, thank you. Then I'd live the rest of my life in leisure.

Stories like this are really starting to worry me. Our country is rapidly losing civil rights, not to mention disregarding international laws regarding things like drone strikes in other countries.

I'm going to be seeing this in the theater at least once. I just wish Jackson didn't feel the need to split the movie in half. I'm curious where the dividing point will be.

Software updates and overall general security are both MUCH better in 7 than in XP. Most updates no longer require me to reboot, and I don't have to go to that crappy update website that is used for XP, either. It's just done in the background, like most modern programs (I do have it set to just let me know that an update is available. I manually pull the trigger for updates to download and install, but it's much faster and easier than XP).

Sadly for the Transit Authority, all work will have to be stopped and archeologists will have to be called in. I expect this project will lose at least two years in construction time.

Yes, but this scene in Hogfather is FANTASTIC. The movie as a whole had issues, but certain scenes were great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUt6sPXQQus&feature=my_liked_videos&list=LL5r1UH5HEr9gIxn7QyDhUrg

I think all code needs comments, unless it's something incredibly basic. However, keep the comments short and to the point. Don't write a paragraph when all you need is a sentence. Also, don't use slang unless it's extremely well known.
