No sacrifice is too great when it keeps the Aryan birds pure.

Or the only reason why I still use a phone. Sending an SMS is somehow even easier and cheaper than making a call, today.

A mod point! A mod point! My reply, for a mod point.

Well, am just a 23 years old guy, so the days of the space race were over before I was even born. But still, I imagine it's effect on kids. People you would ask, at 10 years old, what they want to do later on, they would probably say things like "I want to be like Armstrong" or "I want to walk on the moon, too!".

Just look at Felix's jump, it was just a commercial feat and a big-ass advertisement, but people saw it everywhere, and everyone I know was pretty fascinated about it.
Sure, kids won't really strive to jump out of the stratosphere tomorrow. But I do believe that a generation surrounded by events such as faster-than-speed falls and men walking on Mars would be way more profitable in the long run than a generation surround by the latest trends in stupidity and self-importance.
But hey, if we can't see tangible profit in 5 years, there is no way anyone would fund it...

This whole story is basically like a feud that started long ago, between two families. And generations later, the kids will fight among themselves without even knowing what the reason behind the fight was.

The obvious thing would be to get down to the table and talk about it, but guess what, those who are supposed to find a solution for this are none others than the guys who benefit the most from it (Hamas on one side, and the right wing Israelis).
Acting like a bully won't make you look like you'r defending yourself for sure. And no matter how much of a threat those Palestinian missiles are, if each time your countryside gets hit by one, you answer with a couple of air raids and a dozen of children in the "Collateral Damage" list, you sure as hell can't expect the Palestinians (and by extension the rest of the Muslim world) to see as anything else other than a tyrant invader.

Your operating system is completely legal... but it doesn't pay the MPAA, sadly?

The media you paid for isn't owned by you, you just paid a fixed amount for the right to use it for an undetermined period. The media-player you just paid for isn't owned by you either, you have paid a fixed amount for the right to use... blah blah blah. Basicall: spread your legs further for this big corporate d**k, please.

As an Ex-muslim I say mod parent up because I want to be beheaded.

Track your purchases and credit flow, I guess..

I could happily give all my money to the first guy who can give me functional cat ears. (And a functional cat tail as a bonus

Tunisia, Sudan, Yemen, Pakistan,... and a couple others I can't remember, had quite some action going around the US embassies today. In Tunisia (where I live), the official toll is 2 dead guys and around 40 wounded.
I do hope that they will not restrict access to the video in the mentionned countries, that's opening a dam no one can seal again. How long till the next "resricted" videos?

I advise you to watch this one too. We will soon have debates about who shot first, Curiosity or GIGA ALIEN 9K

Are you kidding? Once this is advanced enough, we can have Matrix-style learning, with knowledge implanted right into your brain.
This could possibly cure the disease mankind have been suffering from since forever.... ignorance.

I dunno where you live, but here in North Africa, summer is the season when hells' gates open and the heat of a thousand suns hits our cities. Third quarter of July, the temperature managed to hit a record 47 C. I don't think anyone can do something productive in such temperature. Comuting in a bus under those conditions is hard enough, let alone to actually study.

This is a new record for many factors, and one of them is probably unpredictable temperature. By simple correlation, I would expect this october to be a little bit warmer than last year. (No need to link that oblig xkcd)
