Of course, (good) reverse osmosis cleans out a LOT more out of the water then just salt, e.g. bacteria, viruses.

Knowing the DHS scrapes all of the social sites and sites like Slashdot, I would like to say that the DHS can 'blow me'.

So there...

Well I got good new for you regardless. Since the earth is losing mass, the gravity will become weaker, resulting in lower numbers on your bathroom scale. :)

(Although it's probably not going to be so noticeable in the shortcut.)

Do you think that would stop them filing injunctions for anything that even remotely resembles a generic fuel cell?

Neat... Now I can get a pair of diamond vibrators and please both my wife and mistress at the same time!

Hurray, no more working late!

Wait.. they still expect people to work without being compensated for their late hours?

Did EA send out lobbyists again with briefcases full of money?

Although I liked playing Uplink, the quote "Uplink, the legendary hacking simulation that is one of its kind." is a bit hyperbolic. Does nobody remember the game Neuromancer (PC/C64) which is I believe one of the first and best hacking games till date?

Hehe for the short duration that it would be? :)

Funnily enough, mortality rates should be higher outside of Europe, due to a gene that survivors of the Black Plague passed on. It should make those people more resistant to this flu as well. So my chances aren't all that bad probably.

Although it's never a bad idea to start stockpiling canned goods and tissues ;)

Now I don't wanna go to work tomorrow (I work there). :)

Isn't it time we start classifying religion as the pox on society that it is? I mean instead of being all tolerant about it, why not banish it? I know it's a big step to take but if you look at it objectively we all see the negative effects it has, and nothing has promoted violence as much as religion. Not only that, but all the things attributed to 'God' can be explained nowadays. Take the bible, where most of the stories existed _before_ the bible was put together. Not only that, but it's full of evident plot holes. And yet no religious person believes me when I tell them I'm God, so they're not completely insane.

Once we thoroughly start educating people, most of the other ignorance based troubles like xenophobia, racism and bad politics might start to go away too. If it wasn't for the Dark Ages, I'd have my damn flying car by now.
