Seriously, dedicate a portion of the land towards geothermal power. Any good cook, and any good engineer will tell you that when you want to keep heat under control, you reroute it elsewhere. Build some geothermal plants on the spot, you know how deep the magma is, then building vent/transfer systems around the caldera will in fact cool it down to prevent an eruption, AND you can sell the electricity generated for, well, generations.

Sheiss, it's so simple, should I really be the one suggesting this? I'm a high school dropout (intellectual as I am), and it's really that obvious.

Yeah, but the problem is, the US Gov't excells at doing senseless, stupid things in record time. Logical, intelligent things, that takes decades to accomplish.

Don't worry, they'll make it even dumber in no time.

Sure, all they need to do is show a slot machine, showing that if you use 3 7s, you win, if not, you're screwed and lose all your money. Apple would LOVE that "Windows is a Gamble" opening.

BTW Steve Jobs, you now owe me $5,000 for that idea, large bills please.

Considering the Apple Lisa came with a $10,000+ price tag, I seriously doubt there were many, if any, home users.

IIRC, other previous software would also give picture previews as icons, such as ACDSee, Thumbs Plus, Adobe Photoshop, tons more prior to 2001 AFAIK.

And turn your office building into a giant Virtual Boy display. If LCD Glasses are available, you could even emulate the 3D effect by setting each bar to the right flicker rates.

Here's where you get into that tricky logic loop. Under most state laws nowadays, it's possible to prosecute minors as adults in many cases, including this one. YET they took pictures of themselves AS minors. So in that case, doesn't the fact they're being prosecuted AS adults mean that no crime actually took place? If they were taking pictures of other teenages, then yes, it would be a criminal act, no question. But if they're taking pictures of themselves, then it shouldn't count.

It's like arresting the corpse of someone who committed suicide on second degree murder charges.

Give 'em time, we'll be seeing suicide booths in the next 100 years.

That's easy, got a "Mission Accomplished" banner lying around?

Why not go after the oil industry (and Bush by proxy)? I'm pretty sure their economists are just as good (or in this case, bad) as any others.

Realestate bubble about to burst? Check.

Businesses laying off people in the tens of thousands? Check.

Irresponsible failed oil baron wannabe in charge who writes blank checks for his buddies? Check.

I know, lets raise diesel and gas prices to around $5! That'll work!

One of my favorite conspiracy theories (my own, your own may vary) is that the reason they've been building all those megastructures in Dubai, is because like Michael Jackson and Halliburton, all the other ethical criminals are going to cash out and move there.

I'm sorry to say they're probably proving me right. And I'm tired of being right most of the time.

Be happy you don't taste like prawns/shrimp then!

Next time it'll be a squid Sean Penn, and he'll kick your deep sea paparazzi ass, then you'll be sorry!

It's IE7, and javascript works on every other site I regularly visit, it's only borked on /.

Or Sgt. Folgers' crystals?

The Trek nerd in me wants to make jokes about Captain Kirk's Dilithium Crystals, but I'm exercising extreme restraint in this case. You're welcome.

Two Astronauts, One Cup?

(I tried tagging it with that using Firefox, it still didn't show up)
