It won't affect us? Here's a way it could affect us: The life we seeded grows, fast! It grows up faster than we expected and evolves at an exponential rate. Within 200 years it develops a space program then decides to pay us a visit with huge guns.

With OpenGL gaining popularity windows is becoming more and more irrelevant, and I guess that's a good thing.
A few hours ago I downloaded Haiku-OS to give it a spin.

...we'll have a problem on our hands. Imagine a new breed of intelligent flying creatures. They'd swoop down, grab our food and just fly away. They'd fly to some remote mountain top to breed, then create their own civilization and eventually.. they'll come for us :)

Formed by a collision? That's absolute nonesense... The moon is a deity that is to be worshiped! Bill o' Reilly told me so!

Granted how scientists just LOVE to give new names to things that are even slightly different (eg. Dinosaurs and how Jack Horner put them to shame).

According to this slightly sketchy source the existence of foreskin is better for a multitude of reasons.

To top it all the password change section of their website is down (wanted to change my password just in case).

Now crashes 450% faster and messier! Burns some silicone and a few peripherals along the way.

I strongly disagree. Online multiplayer is the best thing that's happened to gaming. Instead of fighting Stupid AI or solving puzzles, you're up against human intelligence (or lack thereof). After I started playing online multi-player games single-player lots it's appeal. Is it because they stopped trying or is it because playing with people is more fun? I bet the latter.

I wonder if the researchers chocked the mice with their bare hands.... Poor mice. R.I.P.

I hate the TSA as much as the next guy, but I watched the video twice and it doesn't show the guy defeating the scanners. It just shows him going through the x-ray.. It doesn't prove that he sneaked anything through...

The year where an apartment in manhattan is sold for an amount that can feed a small country for a month.

You've never heard of a company doing something evil to boost sales?

Make patents non-tradable. If a company is sold or goes under, the patents go to the public domain. Same thing if a person holds the patent. Person dies, patents evaporate. Even better? Extend the law to also include copyright.
