That's crazy talk -- I bet you sympathize with those cheese-eating surrender monkeys.

You'd have legions of unemployed geniuses.
Pfft, big deal. There will always be work to do. Those roadrunners aren't going to catch themselves, you know.
Or worse, if it's resourceful enough.
The astronauts were paid their regular military salaries, plus hazardous duty pay. It was a pittance.
Too bad -- they should have negotiated better terms up front.
when you've decided to use someone else's resources, be it Facebook, YouTube, or even Geocities, to host or distribute it, only to find they object to being used by a horrific terrorist organization.
Or AT&T, Cox, Comcast, Verizon
The angular momentum imparted by the planetoid caused Venus to "flip".
Wouldn't it keep rotating? Why would it flip end-to-end and then stop?

Well yeah, it's right there in the summary. It shouldn't come as much of a surprise.
I'll reiterate how grateful I am that cell phone charging -- and as a side effect, data transfer -- have been standardized, thanks to the EU mandating the Micro-USB connector and voltage standard. It's made life easier for pretty much everybody worldwide who owns a cell phone. Maybe it's because countries that culturally emphasize improving the quality of life, have their services change in ways that improve the quality of life.
At the 43:25 minute mark, President Obama is supposed to say “I’ve heard some folks try to dodge the evidence by saying they’re not scientists; that we don’t have enough information to act. Well, I’m not a scientist, either. But you know what — I know a lot of really good scientists at NASA, and NOAA, and at our major universities. The best scientists in the world are all telling us that our activities are changing the climate, and if we do not act forcefully, we’ll continue to see rising oceans, longer, hotter heat waves, dangerous droughts and floods, and massive disruptions that can trigger greater migration, conflict, and hunger around the globe.”
Instead, the entire section is skipped. Obama’s comments resume with “The Pentagon says that climate change poses immediate risks to our national security. We should act like it.”
Maybe their expectation is that the appeal to military authority will carry more weight than the appeal to a scientific one?
Why read some boring headlines, when you can read the comic book instead?
The woman says "That's not the real problem here."
Instead of saying, for example, "My complaint is not about the cake, but that:
In case this is obvious, I don't want to sound patronizing. I just wanted to be unambiguous about what I consider to be the problem."
Maybe it's my background kicking in, but the original phrase is about as useful as, "My computer's not working.", "Well, what happened?", "You mostly know the restricted context in what I use my computer for, just fix it."
Maybe they can just watch that Nicolas Cage animation together and call it a day.
Yes -- one would hope the specialists would have the latitude and motivation to research options to get the best answer possible; and no -- this was her husband, with a personally vested interest in the accuracy of the diagnosis of a single patient, not just any have-a-go engineer.
You'd probably have been able to get away with a cheaper solution if it was the FDA approved power supply that went bad.
Maybe they will be more moral than us.
At least their morals will be more colorful.

My first thought wasn't "they're not nice people," but "finally" -- I was wondering how long it would be before a tech company could be large and influential enough, and behave in a way that would give Microsoft a taste of their own medicine. Too bad it's something of a hit piece.
