The statistics are averaged across cultures they sampled. It's about as meaningful as the tendency of storks to build their nests in chimneys.

One baby step closer to Skynet. Long live our new immortal overlords.

One can think of the modern era of desktop security akin to being a police state. So much has "gone down" that the conventional system of trust between client and server has been broken. Clients acting like servers spreading "problems" in the network degrading performance, taking down clients and servers is no way to run affairs. In a more civil situation, then we need only worry about the borders, everyone is happy, and rainbows shoot out of our butts.

Is it safe to assume James Cameron and the crew will be placed on the infamous dead pool? I'll put $1000 bucks on it.

It's nonsense. The probability of mechanical failure is outrageous, given the environmental conditions, and nature of mechanical devices. If it were biological in basis, that I can see. If anything it's a good exercise in engineering. Go Stimulus!

Even if you put lipstick on it, it's still a pig.

If Colbert did this, it would be an amazing speech. I would love to be there for it. If you haven't seen it yet, see his speech he gave to and about George Bush. It is on YouTube.

Ugh. The Grand Canyon has a large number of endemic species including plants AND animals. This mean there are species that evolved within the canyon that do not occur anywhere else on the planet, and there are more widely dispersed species which also occur there. It is not an empty barren wasteland, but, I can understand why people might think that way about it compared to a redwood forest.

Custer's Last Stand. Way ahead of its time.

Skynet! Duck and cover!

I agree. Teaching children to subvert the dominant paradigm! \m/

Ok this is retarded. Majority of posts are confused about basic energy nomenclature: Amperage, Watts, and Joules? The achievement of building a cluster and having to know the inner workings of an OS etc is a remarkable feat to occur in a short timeperiod. Kudos. And yes I did say retarded. Retarded people don't care, why should we.

If you are that paranoid about keeping your job, find another job. Life is too short.

It's a pity bacteria can survive in space. I was hoping when we colonized Mars beer would never spoil.

Hi. We are Iran. We are friendly and wish only peace. Here is our new drone bomber! All we have to do is point and click and * boom *. Nice meeting you friend, we want to be pals!
