Now that everyone knows they just throw you to the wolves? Aren't these morons the same people who are pathologically afraid of terrorism? Hmm....how's that gonna work out with zero covert agents soon?

Oh well.

Like the earth is roughly 6000 years old, more or less. C'mon lighten up. So they suck at math.

Won't Siva give you an 8-armed hug? Once you go Octo, you always come back, again and again and again in an endless wheel.

She should wheel a guillotine up to the front door of the Pentagon as a warning to the other shitheads.

You know with the fake bunny heads and ears. Hardcore soft furriness.

The rednecks and trailer trash opposed to the estate tax come to mind.

When the US started simultaneous air drops of both bombs and food, it was pretty much a train wreck and it was all over but the shouting from there. I can't think of a single word from anyone anywhere that wasn't agitprop, agendized or flat out lying for one's selfish reasons since then.

AARP is the #1 or #2 largest lobbying group in the US (After the Ginormo Jewspiracy orbiting and secretly controlling the earth of course..this IS Salon after all) which is why the national programs spend 10x more per capita on old people than it does on children.

So tell the kids to got out, make some money, hire some lobbyists to smear it around Congress and they'll better government. Until then, suck it. Suck it hard. Money talks, crackbabies walk.

A lot of these pay one price forever startups claim a magical business model that's virtually free. Then they go broke.

Isn't letting someone die already covered somewhere in the canon of ethics? If you let a patient stew in their own feces, I don't think you have to demonstrate why that happened to them. Isn't that it happened sufficient legal underpinnings?

Because it's not just a Federal issue. Minors are rapidly losing most of their civil rights in this country. BongHits4Jesus was just one example. Couple that with the fact that most states prosecute 17 year olds as adults (Mine prosecutes 16 year olds as adults) while at the same time the list of prohibited "Adult" behaviors for under 21's get's longer and longer each day....Well why should this amaze anyone?

Replacing 85 year old 2 ft wide steam pipes is no easy task. Just uncovering them can make them explode. That is some seriously fragile cast iron. Any plumber or heating contractor will tell you that.

Also - let's remember that it was just a steam pipe and not anything else. The fact that 'people were running for their lives' is a testament to sanity. Only a moron wouldn't run from a steam explosion. Ever seen one? I have. Lifted a car completely into the air.

Second, sinkholes happen a lot in red red Florida where developers, towns and cities have been allowed to pump out the aquifer without any restrictions, causing salt water intrusion and an eventual collapse of the rock and soil above the water table. If you don't want sinkholes then you should invest in new water sources. Feh - Florida will run out of fresh water soon anyhow.

I AM sorry Paul, I will blog about it later in my metablog of blogs.

In whatever limited set of problems you throw at it. Even 'hard problems' like factorization eventually submit to pure overwhelming compute power. Even, one would surmise you could derive a meta proof of np-hard eventually. But again that's simply provided by the highly limited set of rules you need to apply. Is it even possible to 'solve' Go? It has nonlinear increases in complexity, weak correlation between material advantage and victory, and the disjoint nature of Ko Rule. Go may not submit to pure number crunching. It's possible but no one's been able to demonstrate that for normal sized grids.

You're more likely to scold someone else for not feeling appropriately weepy about some third party's officially blessed hug of shame than you are going to see someone admit they themselves want a hug.

Oh let me tell you about my blog which blogs about the other blogs blogging about me. Aren't we precious.

Did you see this? GG got scooped by slashdot, or, it's not chatty enough to rise to the level of serious business here at Salon.com?

Breath Deep the Fumes and keep on bloggin bout the media.

I was watching the local news and during a thunderstorm, when the sky was literally black, they took time out to warn us that even though it's dark out, to be sure to dab on some sunblock because 'you can still get exposed'.

This is the kind of laughably retarded thinking that makes us all look stupid. Sorry, but if you really really really need to walk around in a bike helmet and bubble 24/7 then maybe they shouldn't allow you to have sharp objects either.

Go ahead ladies wear ya damn burqas, niqabs, whatever. Go to a mullah approved grocery store and get a bottle of vitamin tablets.

Everyone put away your swastikas and left wing ranting.

Peter Moore's tenure at Microsoft was one of muddled product plans, bad execution, crappy product design, botched field repair, horrendous customer service, arrogance, failure, ineptitude, huge financial losses (-11 billion dollars) and poor supplier relations.

Kudos Peter - Now go take your loot and go run a company that By the Many Arms of Siva, doesn't have to worry about any of that. Pick up your bong and wail away at it. Because you suck at this and any crackhead could do one quarter the fuck up you did for one quarter of the money you basically stole from MS stockholders. Yeah Dude - go like, you know, make a game or something. Asshole.
