"I have to give this book one star because I ordered it and it never arrived on time even though Amazon said it left the facility six days before it was supposed to get here!"

"This book is typical LIBTARD crap and if you buy it you're a stupid egghead."

"I haven't read a book in five years so when this book came out I decided to buy it. This isn't the book I thought I was ordering, this is crap written by a different guy with a similar name! Buyer beware!"

Is it really that hard to get a computer to pick these out?

I'm guessing the people who lauched it didn't anticipate that it would land in a cave on a comet when they were deciding whether to go with off-the-shelf solar panels or a brick of strontium-90- which is pretty expensive stuff.

Our own government "ignored the democratic process". Even the author of the Patriot Act says the NSA is abusing the law by collecting (i.e. stealing) such a large amount of their citizens' private information.

You're overlooking the fact that the NSA and its allies are the ones who made Snowden available to Russia in the first place.

Once again, I refer you to the author of the Patriot Act, who says: "No public court has ever upheld document collection that is remotely close to the dragnet at issue. . . . The administration therefore admits that its bulk collection is unprecedented."

If he was that naive, he'd be spending the rest of his life in solitary confinement, and we'd still be in the dark.

I just hope they have a good QA department examine the .STL file for the bridge and find any unanticipated flaws.

Although you do still get 50% of the force from sunlight hitting a dark PV cell as opposed to being reflected. Probably not a big factor here, though.

I'm wondering if a solar sail could still work after having an Ask toolbar install itself across the top. Can the information coming back from the sail be used at all if it's being proxied through binkiland.com?

Bill! Bill Nye! Is this you? Big fan!

Exactly. I don't come here to read about horses! I'm more interested in Chinese doctors doing head transplants on mice!

OTOH, it's easier to retain employees who only know "your" language.

I heard a story about a nun who had anorgasmia- meaning she couldn't experience pleasure of any sort (not just sexual). Someone did VNS surgery on her and had the implant send pulses to her pleasure center. That produced major changes- she was super happy, quit being a nun, decided to become a prostitute, and went to Venezuela(?). Eventually her pleasure center couldn't take being hammered by electricity anymore and she started to find it annoying. Eventually she had them remove it.

You misspelled "armature".

Hydrogen gas was used by the Nazis too...

"Climate change" is a term that fell into vogue after focus group studies discovered that people would worry less about "climate change" than "global warming". Can we call you a "Global Warming Denialist" instead?

This is how a corporation goes to heaven: First a hedge fund manager takes out a short term high interest loan from a bank through a shell corporation, then approaches the corporation's executive management and proposes [...insert references to stuff that sounds illegal but still boring as hell...] ... and since he's the first in line to get paid, he takes his management fees out and walks away with 10% of the initial loan value after the corporation has laid everyone off and entered the afterlife.

Were slaveowners ashamed of themselves for getting free labor? Probably not, but being "ashamed of yourself" isn't really a relevant question to pose to people who are proud of what they did.
