It would also take you a very, long, time, to say it.

I will patent the stupidity gene, meaning all stupid people will be rendered sterile and unable to reproduce.

You're welcome, humanity.

I'm not sure whether your name applies perfectly to that comment, or vice versa...

I believe GaIM/Pidgin did this. It would pop up with the message "You feel a disturbance in the force...". And I agree, great for creeping people out :)

Seems like the most important part was excluded - the download counter! http://www.opera.com/

Currently, more people have downloaded Opera 11.50 than have disliked Rebecca Black!

Could also have to do with life expectancy being much shorter - from what I can tell, average life expectancy 5000 years ago was between 20 and 25, so there would be much less time for dental problems to develop (or any health problems, really, aside from ones like "being murdered by opposing tribe" or the favourite "getting eaten by a sabertooth" which plagued many of that era).

While I agree that there's probably not much left of him, he was killed May 2nd, so he's barely been down 6 weeks...

Michael Palin, is that you?

Finally, somebody that knows the difference between French and string instruments! Thank you!

Wow, you sound remarkably similar to me, except replace all the past tense verbs with future tense :)

... that when the summary refers to "musical instruments made from dead animals", it is referring to springbok horns, and not zebra wood.

The malware only activates when you receive one of these "phone call" things - and when was the last time you received one of those?

Yes, and apparently Google is closely related (98%!) to kratom, a medicinal leaf from Southeast Asia! http://correlate.googlelabs.com/search?e=google&t=weekly#

I agree with parent's sarcasm - while this is pretty cool, I can't help but feel that it's more of a toy than a tool...

We've just changed what we live in and what we fight over. Does that truly indicate that it works?

It's not for the 90% that the capital costs are high. Further north, NorthwesTel has to cover the entirety of the Yukon, NWT and Nunavut with these services. Many, if not the majority, of the communities in these territories have no all-year road access. The capital costs for these places is huge. Everything is run through satellite connections (phone, TV, internet), and all the infrastructure must either be brought in by barge or by air. In addition, due to mandates about allowed downtime per year, maintenance costs are very high (imagine flying in technicians and supplies every time internet service goes down). While I'm not saying the costs of these is comparable to the cost of the infrastructure required for the millions living along the borders, the cost per individual is higher by several orders of magnitude.
