Anyway, wherever she is, it's unlikely she isn't aware of what's happening across the whole universe currently. So pinging her seems superfluous.

the problem is that you are forced to have the same, predictable username on many different sites (unless you go to some trouble aquiring many email addresses). And why is that a problem when it's not public-facing? You're not giving the website any information they aren't getting already (and you ...

The tense is confusing because the information that the shoplifter shot through the garage came out recently via the affidavit, but the incident itself happened last week. So the house wasn't destroyed until after he barricaded himself in it. that makes sense. i still think they could have ordered ...

A suspected shoplifter who holed up in a random Greenwood Village home that was destroyed during a standoff last week fired a handgun through a garage door at a police officer and later fired several more rounds after police entered the home, an affidavit says. can anyone explain the sequence of ev...

Sigh at this whole thread. The reason you are required to type your password twice is that it is obscured and so you can't tell if you mistyped it. Requiring you to type an email address, which is generally not obscured and you can see if you mistype, is just idiotic. I have seen websites with regi...

That depends on the tensile strength of the english language.

here's another apocalyptic scenario:

To be clear, we can file this into the 'very maybe probably not' category of potential apocalypse scenarios.

The contrail CT must have started in California or some other place without winters. in every place where it gets cold sometimes, we can all see the condensing vapours streaming from every car tailpipe. And it's pretty cold up there at the cruising altitude of airplanes. see also https://www.kernene...

Dyson spheres would emit black body radiation of the average temperature of themselves and their contents, and so glow detectably and not be dark. So we think. Anyone advanced enough to actually build a Dyson Sphere though might have technology that effectively "cloaks" them if you can de...

I know I’m supposed to give a book some time before deciding to chuck it, but this sentence in the first paragraph of Outpost by W.M.

is that really legal in NC? having special characters in licence plates aught to make life for the police a lot more complicated. It's legal in a few states. It would completely trip up ANPR over here, but the US isn't so big on automated surveillance. even a cop typing it into a computer will have...

if you meant the jaffa, as i understood it they were entirely controled by the Goa'uld and carried the symbiotes because they were ordered to do so (or rather, because it was a religious ritual created by their gods)

Well, other than the lack of daylight you get all those things with open plan too. Which is the only other option I've seen, in fact the ONLY kind of office I've worked in. Cubicles at least muffle the sound of other conversations and give people a little more privacy. What other office layouts hav...

i don't find this surprising at all. it's easy to go over to a colleague's office to chat, but when there a 20 other people around, you'll want to keep noise level to a minimum, and 10 parallel conversations are a little bit distracting.

stupid of them. if they hadn't created the press attention, they could have quietly collected the debt from her widower (and heir, i assume). “We may close the Credit Account and demand repayment of the full amount you owe us if you die or become of unsound mind.” how can you be in breach of that?

And if you limit the triangles to just the really bright stars, say magnitude <+2.5, (maybe 46 at a time), then you get 15,180 triangles. So triangles are easy.
