By which I meant internal variables from the subroutine that failed.

You know, there was a case where a cop body slammed a 15-year old girl into the concrete wall of a jail cell, threw her to the ground, and proceeded to punch her in the head a few times (with assistance from another cop, of course) and kick her in the stomach, before dragging her out of the cell by her hair. In the process of beating the shit out of a girl half his size, he accidentally whacked his shin against the metal toilet. He brought her up on charges of assault for his injured leg.

Police officers in the US are declaring that pepper spray is too inhumane to use... on police officers. It's just fine and dandy to use on unarmed people sitting down.

They will stand there and feed you this line of psychopathic bullshit with a straight face and be honestly unable to figure out how they earned the title "largest street gang in America".

> If it's a C++ app, then sure, having a built-in crash reporting mechanism shouldn't be that hard to build in

That's precisely what I do. The default exception handling routine sends an email to me with the app, version, username, machine id, error description, call stack, and any useful data that that I saw fit to include while coding. It has saved me mountains of pain over the years, and also fuels my reputation as the all-seeing eye.

Recovered eventually. There's autolithotrophs saturating the bedrock down for several km, Archean extremophiles filling niches so unpleasant an asteroid strike would seem downright balmy in comparison. Granted, wiping out every life form that can't be seen with a microscope would be a bit of a setback, but with any luck there'd have been megacellular organisms again before the sun heats up and cooks the planet.

It polluted its environment with toxins lethal to itself. Draw what parallels to human civilization as you will.

What sort of porn does Earth want? Rule 34 says we can make it happen. Hot Gaia on Gaia action?

Vampire frogs. Awesome.

I had my mind blown reading Dr. Altemeyer's work The Authoritarians, the bit where he gave the same tests to certain governmental figures both here and in the USSR. He discovered that for all that these fearless Cold Warriors claimed to be mortal enemies fighting for opposing causes, they were, in their outlooks and attitudes, carbon copies of each another.

> 3. It has cleared it's orbit of all other bodies that aren't satellites of itself, Lagrange point bodies, or "twin" satellites of similar mass that it stably co-orbits with where the co-orbital point exists outside either body.

Wouldn't this definition preclude a Kemplerer Rosette? Sure, they don't occur in nature, and are in fact quite unstable without active stationkeeping, but if you put (to pick a number at random) 5 Earth-sized planets equally spaced in the same orbit, be kinda silly to declare them non-planets as a result.
