They didn't predict the storms so much as cause them. If we let them send up more satellites they can get back on schedule for destroying the world in 2012. Due to budget restrictions, delays and the housing market crash they already missed the judgement day deadline. Skynet is going to build itself. If we don't hurry up there won't be any more films about the US building doomsday devices because they just will not be believable. Everyone will know the Chinese will build them first. Most of our students and potential mad scientists already come from abroad. We have to do this while we still can otherwise we will just become irrelevant and depend on other countries for dictating the future of humanity.

We have these old places that store tons of paper but you need to get a special card and perform a ritual before they let you leave with anything. Then they only allow you to go for a few weeks without returning the paper. Maybe you could find such a place.

Hardly FLG. That is one item that didn't seem involved in the Tibet issue. I am a bored nerd with too much time on his hands. Oh one more item... -- If you ever find yourself in a land where everything is taken too literally It is best to have another language to fall back upon. This is esp true for psychiatric computer science students. Too much hawking radiation is bad. I wonder just how many programmers know more then one language.

Barence writes: "A 15-year-old schoolboy has become an overnight sensation after writing a report on teenagers' media habits for analysts Morgan Stanley. Intern Matthew Robson was asked to write a report about his friends' use of technology during his work experience stint with the firm's media analysts. The report was so good the firm decided to publish it, and it generated "five or six" times more interest than Morgan Stanley's regular reports. The schoolboy poured scorn on Twitter, claiming that teenagers "realise that no one is viewing their profile, so their tweets are pointless". He also claimed games consoles are replacing mobile phones as the way to chat with friends."
