Firefox is Netscrape.

And that precludes one of her lovers from having or having had an iphone just how, exactly?

We don't know how the photos leaked (or didn't leak) yet. All that's certain is that they're targeting Google because Google has money. Even if they're not at fault, there's a good chance they'll settle.

Google is supposed to reject all search strings that include the word 'nude'

And that's the bare and naked truth.

Honestly, it would be better if they filtered out everything with the word "celebrity", including this post.

No, I'm not. Wearing PJs, but what's it to you?

No law of thermodynamics defines "stealth" as "perfect undetectability". You do. I don't (nor does the rest of the world). Please come up with a real argument rather than this fallacy.

A planet doesn't make you undetectable. After all, I can just send a sensor around to get line of sight and now, you're detected.

You do on numerous occasions. I can quote them, if you'd like your nose rubbed in it.

Also, your heat radiation above stops being radiated only when something intercepts it. That means there's no real limit in any direction that is black sky. Even I get that. Interception of radiation by intervening bodies is not how I propose to get stealth in space.

That's because I already explained it. Gas expands and the motion of the molecules in the gas become highly correlated (basically the random motion of the relatively dense initial plume transforms into outwardly translation motion of the shell of a sphere or cylinder of the expanding plume at later time). That cools the gas off quickly right there. Meanwhile the increased surface area of the exhaust plume radiates heat out more efficiently.

Also, and this is a really obvious point I shouldn't have to make, the thermodynamics of an exhaust plume are vastly different than for the universe. It's a near point source which is dumping heat to a 3K heat sink while there's no outer edge to the universe to dump heat. Nor does the exhaust plume have gravitational collapse and the resulting stars and quasars to heat up the universe. And the exhaust plume expands rapidly in seconds while it took almost 14 billion years for the universe to expand to its current extent.

For example, Belgium, Spain, and Germany seemed to be hit pretty hard by H1N1 flu with higher "confirmed cases" per capita than the US.

It's worth noting that some if not most people who are infected with a normal flu are asymptomatic. The H1N1 flu apparently had an unusually high rate of asymptomatic infections. For example, this report implies infections were at least a factor of three higher than symptomatic infections due to the increased presence of antibodies.

What's the point of this grandstanding? A claim was made. Back it up. Name the country that is mentioned in this statement: "In contrast, in a third world country with a decent health care system, the infection rate was 1 in 1000."

Note that Europe didn't have significantly different infection rates than the US.

You do realize that there are public health services doing public education campaigns in the US? Your premises are wrong.

Eh? Windows 2000 was my consumer Microsoft OS until years after XP had come out.
Windows 2000 Server and Datacenter were the business focused versions. Professional was for everyone who didn't want Me, i.e. everyone.

Law abiders live pathetic lives, constantly afraid.

Here's another example of the straw man. First, a straw man argument is an exaggeration of another's argument in order to defeat that position. The exaggeration here is that stealth is undetectability which is an impossible condition to achieve under any non-fictional context (aside from not existing in the first place, eg, a "snipe hunt").

Sure, you can't make a detectable object perfectly undetectable by definition. But that never has been what stealth is about as I've repeatedly said. It's about being much harder to detect so that various militarily-useful activities can be conducted such as sneaking up on some target and shooting it.

This is probably the best example of the ridiculousness of your argument. There is no such thing as a perfect detector - among other things it would need infinite area both to observe perfectly and to store the infinite amount of information it received. Thus, everyone has something they can't detect and hence, by your perversion of the meaning of "blind" above (and I'm not going to accept a definition shift of "blind", that's a lazy fallacy), everyone is blind. So as long as everyone is "blind", which is always the case, there is a way to be "invisible", making your argument pointless.

And I already explained how rocket exhaust can cool that fast. For someone who claims to have physics on their side, you aren't keeping up.

Why was there such an uproar over Metro? Alas, I never used it so I can't say. It's possible that it wasn't easy to customize, which was one of the things that drove me away from Gnome 3. Right now, I'm using Xfce 4.10, and have it set up somewhat like Win98 SE, except that it has four desktops and I can reach the main menu by right-clicking on the desktop because that's how I like it. The important thing is that there's no One True Desktop for Linux and any company considering migrating to it can do a little bit of pre-rollout experimenting to find what works best for their workforce.

Utah tried that. It opened the door for the defense to collect statistics from dish/directTV on regional porn viewing habits.

Utah rents more and more perverted porn from the networks then LA. It was a 'Great Moment in Lawyering'!

As a short guy how much it sucks to try and date. I'm lucky in that I'm quite tall but man, are women stuck on height. Most women will NOT date a man shorter than them. It is a deal breaker to them for whatever reason. They also seem to feel it is perfectly reasonable, and not just very shallow.

It really sucks for short guys because at least with looks you can generally do something. While you can't change your looks radically you can lose weight, work out, wear better clothes, etc and improve your looks at least somewhat. Also cosmetic surgery is a more drastic approach that can modify some things. There's fuck-all you can do about height though. You are 5'1"? That's what you are.

Women like to think they aren't shallow, and of course some really aren't (as some men aren't) but most are they just lie to themselves about it. One of the issues is that women tend to have a skewed view of men. They believe most men are below average. OKCupid did an interesting study on this. Men rated women's pictures on a bell curve of attractiveness, as one would expect. Women rated most men below average. So what you get is a lot of women who believe they've "settled" for a below average guy and thus aren't caring about looks, when in reality they've "settled" for an average or above average guy and just haven't gotten a hunk.
