Brilliant! -- GENERATION 667: The first time you see this, copy it into your sig on any forum and add 1 to the generation.

That's actually a myth, the flashlight in Doom 3 is actually grue powered.

Do they have a small grue on a treadmill, forever running away from the light which it generates?

So now rocks and paintings are alive? Where's my wing-flapping flying car?

So you think someone had to evolve to create a rocket? Did someone have to evolve to create your toaster, while someone else evolved differently to create my different toaster? Learning is not evolution. CowboyNeal didn't have to evolve in order to /.

Well, minerals which are lighter than others are more likely to become part of continents and thus survive longer away from the mantle. Basalt on the ocean floor tends to only survive a couple of hundred million years.

Or is it that heavier minerals are more likely to soon rejoin the refreshing mantle? Is it good to be in the mantle or away from it?

Actually, a lot of the Earth's surface ended up as the Moon. But TFA is about what happened later.

One potential use is for low-drag swim wear.

Yeah, it's a real drag having to get wet when going for a swim.

Is a woolly mammoth classified as a farm animal??

I don't know. Is it tasty?
If it tastes good, its survival is assured.

What? We're supposed to read the summary now? How are we supposed to comment properly if we might pick up even hints of facts?

"Hello, I'm Clippy.
Are you trying to hit the Earth?
Try firing your rifle directly opposite the direction of your ship's orbit.
You would get faster results if you upgrade your rifle to one which can fire at the same speed as your ship's speed."

In space no one can hear you swear.

If you're trained to turn off your microphone first.

If the bag was pushed exactly toward or away from Earth, it would be back in one orbit. But it was pushed in a random direction. A sideways push makes it keep going away from the station; the orbits might later intersect after the bag's sideways travel takes it around the world. It would have to get a very strong horizontal push to go around the world in a short enough period for the astronauts to be willing to wait for it. And if the sideways push wasn't exactly horizontal, when the bag came back from the other side it might be too high or too low.

You do know that the Enterprise was never actually built, don't you? All of that footage was either a 6 inch model or some cheesy computer graphics?

Actually, it was built 11 feet long and the special effects did not involve computers.

There's a minor error in the article, which claims that your servers need access to the source. distcc was designed to not need this.

That implies you read the article, but that can't be the case.
