Even when I go out... honestly, as a computing professional, the last thing I need in a bar while playing pool is another computer.

The truest thing I've ever read on Slashdot. Couldn't agree more.
This would only capture a minute fraction of actual religion and then mostly the Judaeo-Christian-Islamic part. Most religions in human history have had gods as fallible and definitely not all-knowing.
To the GP's credit, the the Judaeo-Christian-Islamic religions do account for a pretty significant chunk of people on the planet (about 3.5 billion people).
The most interesting fact from this article is that 18-to-29 year-olds are much more likely to use cell phones as an excuse to not talk to someone. This jives with my experience in real life. Finally, now it is possible to agree with our grandparents that young people are more inconsiderate than old people.
I couldn't agree more! Now get off my lawn!
How can there not be a Pirates v. Ninjas yet? They wouldn't do it right though. It should be non-stop violence and action with next to no story and absolutely no romantic subplot or motivations. 90 minute film, 85 minutes of action.
I think you're looking for this this .
Mt Dew and Warcraft are not a mind-altering substances.

Anyways, I wonder if not changing the scent packets or w/e often enough would result in something similarly un-appetizing.
The MESSENGER spacecraft first left Earth in August 2004, and completed several flybys in the years before entering Mercury's orbit. Those flybys indicated bright, patchy deposits on some of Mercury's crater floors, but without high-definition images, scientists had no idea what they were. Images captured in recent months, however, indicate that the patchy deposits are clusters of rimless, irregular pits that can be up to several miles wide. They are surrounded by more reflective material and are found on central peaks, peak rings, and rims of craters, NASA said.
These pits are well documented in Sirens of Titan. I wonder how Nasa was unaware of them.
This is a ten-second lesson on how banks increase the money supply: Alice deposits 100 bitcoins in the Bank. Alice has a 100-bc deposit receipt. The Bank has a 100 bc and a 100-bc liability to Alice. Charlie loans 100 bitcoins from the Bank. Charlie has 100 bc and Alice has a 100-bc deposit receipt. The Bank has 0 bc, a 100-bc liability, and 100 bc owed to it.
While someone who is trying to track where the "real" currency is will say that only 100 bc exists between the three entities, by typical accounting methods, the three people combined now have 200 bc: Charlie's cash and Alice's promissory note.
You forgot the fact that Charlie, like the bank, has a 100 bc liability (to the bank). Thus there are in fact, only 100bc in the system as described. In other words:
Alice 100b bc deposit receipt (+100bc)
Bank 100 bc "depoist receipt" (loan to Charlie) (+100bc), 100bc liability to Alice (-100bc)
Charlie 100bc cash (+100bc), 100bc liability to bank (-100bc)
Common knowledge once held that meat spontaneously generated maggots. Then, in 1668, Italian physician Francesco Redi devised a set of investigative steps-what we now call an experiment-to prove wrong what everybody thought they knew.
Wow.
Also never mind the fact that $8.3 billion is more money than a single human could ever possibly spend on material goods in his or her lifetime.
You've obviously never met my wife.

If you said otherwise, you'd be walkin' tha plank. Arrrrgh!
