Plus they are doing it at the behest of their evil human overlords, so this is MURDER, rather than "suicide". ...but "NASA murders their worker [robots]" probably isn't the kind of headline they'd like.

Promoted "only" four times in 12 years?! Yikes! In my industry (biotech) that would be extremely rare. I am jealous.

...and other science facts. Just repeat to yourself "It's just a show"...

...apart from Bing.

In one of the episodes, which featured a biography of the family, they are described explicitly as a north Kentucky family. As evidence you'll see Shelbyville, KY http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Shelbyville,+KY just north of Springfield http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Springfield,+KY and there's even a place called Simpsonville http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Simpsonville,+KY just west of Shelbyville. I have no idea why they want to change their story now.

Every time I look at him he reminds me of the creepy Burger King king mascot. Hmm.. I see that Burger King actually retired him at about the same time Occupy started. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Not bullshit. I had a Dell/Alienware PC with WinXP suffer motherboard failure. I replaced the board with the OEM version (almost identical format). No other hardware was changed. A call to Microsoft resulted in them telling me (politely) that a motherboard switch wasn't allowed. If you search their website there's actually an early illustration for the product (re)activation process where they use a motherboard replacement as an example. When I pointed this out to the telephone support people I was told that this was "out of date" and not official policy. Please buy a copy of Vista...

But isn't that just a sementic language...?

The only reason for the discrepancy is that you have been using the wrong kind of cables. You need to use these instead: http://www.amazon.com/Denon-AKDL1-Dedicated-Link-Cable/dp/B000I1X6PM (only $9999.00 each)

Most immunosuppressant drugs block cell-mediated immunity, and so attempt to prevent cytotoxic T-cell killing of the donor lung tissue. Unfortunately the lung tissue will also contain a large number of the donor's immune cells (mast cells, macrophages and any eosinophils that are in the tissues). It is acute triggering of these cells, and release of bronchoconstricing mediators, that results in anaphylaxis. These are relatively long lived cells so the graft-mediated peanut sensitivity will take a long time to decline. Immunosuppressants *should* block Graft-versus-Host reactions as those are primarily cell-mediated.

Hence, whiteboards, paper towels, cardboard boxes and the lab gloves I am wearing see common use as writing substrates for taking notes. My favourite method is writing on the benchtop (probably melamine resin) with a soft pencil. When in the office I am a big fan of wide-ruled yellow writing pads. Since I am the only one who uses them around here I find them easy to spot when things get cluttered. For lecture notes, a 5 x 7 spiral bound (with a BIG spiral on the long edge dammit) notebook with a firm cover. Blue pens. My handwriting has deteriorated so now it resembles my EEG, so I endorse other postings recommending fountain pens for legibility to others. I am very pleased how much better biro-like pens have become over the last three decades (currently I am a VelocityGel addict).

"Imagine, for a moment, if we bought electricity the way we buy data in this country. Every month, you would pay a fixed amount of money (say, $120), and then you would use as much electricity as you wanted..." OR Imagine, for a moment, if we bought telephone connection time the way we buy data in this country. Every month, you would pay a fixed amount of money (say, $120), and then you would use your telephone as much as you wanted... Oh, wait a minute...

I don't trust the reasoning behind this group of people. Note that they are largely from the east and west coast of the USA, or from e.g. Australia. It sounds as if they have a vested interest in keeping sea levels low.

Another thing that's missing is mention of Jimmy's other project, Bomis, the porn-related search site. He keeps trying to sweep that one under the rug. ...or maybe it's just that he doesn't consider it a failure.
