I hope they don't, I like their email because of their spam filter, but the way they seem to do things lately, they'll probably just drop them entirely and just link to Hotmail and Google Images like the Dating and Jobs now just link to Match and Monster.

Oops! Sorry boss, I'll probably get to work after lunch.

I live in a hurricane prone area with reactors near the coast and was comforted by the fact that they said they shut them down when there was a big one forecasted to make landfall nearby. With hurricane season coming soon, I'm going to be a lot more concerned. If a tsunami can damage the cooling system to the point of failure, why couldn't a category 5 hurricane, with a strong enough storm surge?

Why is all anyone talks about is what kind of energy to use, and not why do we have to continue to use so much?

Started immediately, press any key and then 2 and your game starts immediately. Solid state cartridges were so fast. I'd love to see them make a comeback more than TI BASIC itself though. Windows and CD-ROM games, it might take 5 minutes before I'm playing. Consoles are not much better at this either.

We make a 90% chance of making it there and a 1% chance of lasting more than 10 days

Alone:
No way, I'm sure I'd go hopelessly insane if I did survive the trip, let alone living on a planet by myself.

With a bunch of guys:
I have less than 90% chance of making it there because I'm already dying of some incurable disease or very old and well past my life expectancy...

I used to have a Nokia 6 years ago or so. Was a really nice phone. Did the actual phone thing way better than any phone I've had since. Just about everyone who had a cell phone back then had a Nokia, mainly because that was the cheapest one you could get when you went to a cell phone store. These days, it's some other brand. You can still get a Nokia, but it's some expensive smartphone Nokia that no one wants. If someone wants a smartphone they'll buy a Blackberry or an iPhone. If they actually want a phone, they would buy a Nokia, but they don't seem to offer cheap Nokia's anymore...that was their market, they should have embraced it, rather than go after Blackberry and iPhone's....

I think an iPad is an iPod Touch that won't fit in my pocket. I like my iPod Touch but wish it were a little bigger. I understand why it is exactly the same size as an iPhone, but I'd like something in between. Maybe they could call the iPad Mini, or maybe maxiPod?

Maybe if the penalty was the death penalty and a billion dollar fine to the company responsible, or the country and all it's citizens harboring the SPAMMER...

A Mars colony would seem to me that it would be more likely to work if it was tried first on the Moon. With supply lines being so much shorter, eventually a fairly decent size colony could be built, in a much shorter time frame. It really seems far less complicated than building the ISS. Supply ships wouldn't have to dock and all that, just land somewhere fairly close.

All the supplies to build it either place could be sent beforehand. I can see support for a one way trip to Mars being a lot higher if there was already plenty of food, water, and oxygen there. We already have sent a bunch of other crap there. Why not send a ship or two with some bottled water, and food just in case? Or maybe some fine wine? Or some whiskey or vodka or something?

Then what happens when one needs to reformat and start from scratch? Most people reading this here would use IE6 to download Firefox, or at least IE7 or IE8, but the general public would probably get the SuperCoolUnsupportedBrowserVirus from that site they went to that made them have to reformat in the first place.
