I wonder if there is still someone out there running the world's last Meridian 59 server.

No, but it dig tag Lena Denham as a white manatee.
What's sad is that UOP really could have done it! If they offered actual counseling guidance, and curricula that didn't just suck, and made sure that their clients passed classes with rigor, they could have *easily* made a profitable college with good reviews and earned trust.
But....but....that would mean less profit!
Here's a lump of coal. You'll like it. We'll send you the bill later.
And the lump of coal will retail for $2,000, idiot Apple fans will line up around the block to buy it at launch, and Wired will feature 25 stories on how it's going to revolutionize the world.
Couldn't they just go to Kinkos?
Just the thought of Quebec porn activates my gag reflex without me even seeing it.
I've near cities all my life. So everything in the sky is pretty much "out of sight, out of mind" to me. I didn't know what the Milky Way was until I saw a picture of it in a book.
Needs more cool soundtrack.
France can always be counted on to do things in the least logical way possible.
A bunch of taxi drivers start rioting in the streets, blocking traffic, and burning cars. France's response? Arrest the people they're protesting AGAINST.
Is it any wonder they keep getting invaded, or that the only decent tactician if the history of their country was from Corsica?
There is no such thing as a magic currency that any country can use to turn worthless promises into something of value. Well, maybe the dollar, but only if you're the U.S.
The fact is that Greece can leave the Euro and print all the money it wants. But that money is going to be as worthless as the paper it's printed on and everyone will know it. No one is going to accept it for anything of value. And no one is going to loan them anything of value. So they'll be like Germany in the early 1920's, with piles of worthless paper money and a black-market/barter economy.
At the end of the day, you just can't keep spending more than you take in. It's going to collapse at some point. Greece is one of the most notorious countries at doing this, and so they're the canary in the coal mine. But the same thing is going to follow for the U.S. and many other European countries if they don't find a way to balance their budgets. Eventually the credit card bill comes due and the creditors just won't loan you any more money.
Fiat currency is based on faith. I'm pretty sure any paper money produced by Greece right now would garner no faith from anyone. It wouldn't be worth the paper it was printed on.
No worries, SpaceX will get us there!
[whispering from off camera]....okay.....wait, WHAT happened?......No I didn't even turn on the news this weekend.....
Okay, a minor revision to that....
Plus, Ben Affleck is probably good with any plan that gets him as far away as possible from his wife.
They had the balls to order the President of Bolivia's plane down. You think they wouldn't ground some dipshit An-124 pilot?
