I also quite like and often use the Russian saying:
Better to be rich and healthy, then to be poor and sick.
I have a profile for an inflatable sex pig, with a name clearly implying it's a sex pig, and a photo of the pig for the profile pic. They aren't completely on the ball. I also have a profile for a character from a very popular book series, and the profile pic is a still from one of the film adaptations, and both of these profiles have existed for over two years.
Why?
No seriously, I'm intrigued if there is any reason other then complete boredom, to carefully create and maintain these profiles
After all it seems to defy the whole idea of using facebook
yes, my wife can actually cook
I tried that but the heat causes her to grow and finally blow up. Not recommended.
You must be new here, it should be obvious. Send the company a picture of goatse, and have your pattern...
I'm not sure that is possible. From google translate of the second link:
However, this fact "made a slight tint of color patterns," is what, this Jigazopazuru liver. By utilizing this pattern, with a whopping "Self Portrait" I would make the. Moreover, not only their faces can also face other people. Even great men in history, even heterosexual love, even in the face of the pet
Lead-acid batteries have been recycled by law in the US or several years
Wow! I knew you guys had way too much lawyers over there, but I've never realized it was that bad...
My car consumes no resources either. I put gas in at the pump, and then burn it and return it to the atmosphere, thus recycling it. When its old it will eventually go to scrap and most of its parts will be directly recycled aswell. The rest will be buried in land fill, thus returning it to the ground from where it came.
True but there's a huge time-scale problem you are missing
The difference is not in how it is recycled but in where its energy comes from. The carbon in dog food was taken out of the air some mere centuries ago at max. The carbon in gas was taken out of the air hundreds of millions of years ago.
No matter how many humans or other animals there are, they are all still part of the same short-time carbon cycle. It is extracting carbon from fossil fuels that imbalances this cycle.
His ideas intrigue me and I'd like to subscribe to his newsletter
It is worth noting that in the coordinate system most used today (WGS84), this is no longer true.
See this explenation or check google maps.
Making the equations "symmetrical" for both electric and magnetic charges does not make them any more elegant or powerful, any more than not having "negative mass" makes Newton's equations any less valid.
You're saying two thinks. Of course symmetry doesn't make equations more valid, but elegant? In my opinion symmetry of different equations is one the most elegant things of nature.
Android has full C/C++ support
They supply the standard C library, but they expose no other API whatsoever. In practice, this means you cannot do any input/output in C and it's use is limited to processor intensive logic.

with Clippy please!
Windows mobile also very closed
How is that? Is Windows mobile more closed than Android? I thought Windows mobile has an native API that allows pretty much everything, whereas Android exposes only a sandboxed Java environment.
... and not sexy
Agreed...
It doesn't. The 3rd law only applies to closed systems. A human is not a closed system, therefore the preservation of order is physically viable.
You mean the 2nd law, but otherwise you are correct.
Also keep in mind that if you define a human as the current state of it's mind there might be other ways of preservation more related to the AI option..
There will always be un-configured browsers, users who don't know, and people who don't care. Will that be enough to keep advertising profitable? I don't know.
Add to that, people who just accept it is a choice of the author of the web site to display those ads.
Even on Slashdot there are many people who do not like ad-block and I do not see how it ever can become mainstream. Even if it would be presented as a choice on installation of every webbrowser, I think most people would choose for keeping the websites as they are. AdBlock is never gonna reach more then a percent of the users.
More generally, if someone were to present an idea to change the economy that would render advertisement useless, people would oppose it because they have already accepted advertisement to be a necessary evil of the market economy.
