As a serious question, would you zap the energy back to earth via microwave?

As a not-quite-as serious question, wasn't that one of the ways to fry your town in SimCity 2000?

A smooth Android install on an iPhone? It seems like you've found something Apple would like even less than the DoD having access to the iPhone security stack.

I saw this a few days ago. Is this a meme? Pedantically speaking, Palin is is a queue of one (at least!) wherever she is. Cue the responses. Might be time for Grammar Nazis and pendants to be hunted down like Apple and Google. Is there any room left in the Assange bunker?

Are you being sarcastic? In any case, you've admirably and succinctly described the DoD's SIPRNet which is precisely a separate, government controlled Internet for classified information. There's also the NIPRNet, from which the public Internet is accessible.

I had a math professor last quarter who had a poor opinion of in-class testing for exactly the reasons you mentioned, and who assigned problems which I felt were pretty difficult. I understand if you want to keep your anonymity, but you weren't by any chance my Topology professor this summer, were you?

A quick google search suggests that 16 percent of cars in the US are sold with manual transmissions. I'm not convinced this is "comparatively rare."

You're about 1500 years late, and that's only with respect to Christianity.

I hate theocratic regimes (and Democratic presidents who kick puppies) just as much as the next person, but the problem with your "sample" is the same problem that comes with any online poll.

The problem, namely, is what is called study heterogeneity, or more colloquially, "your source sucks."

Oh, I know this one.

"Fool me once, shame on, shame on you. Fool me, you can’t get fooled again."

But...how is babby formed?

Since it's a measure of mass, it could also (and perhaps more precisely) be avoirdupois assloads.

I believe the first practical use of nuclear technology was, in fact, blowing a city up. And (somewhat pedantically) trigonometry was used for navigation far before it was used to build or destroy bridges.

The article from which it looks like you drew your facts is here. Also quoted therein:

The only defense I can offer for over a third of the South Carolina legislature voting not to overturn their anti-miscegenation laws is that, since the legislation was elected democratically, perhaps the constituents of South Carolina have exactly the kind of government they deserve.

I don't disagree that corruption is party-agnostic, but I take umbrage to terms like Republicrat or RINO that marginalise the centre right and left. They promote a "with us or against us" mentality that was famous with the United States' last president.
