we would hold the moon responsible for orbiting the earth if we could somehow discern that the moon wanted to do this—despite the clear operation of the laws of gravity and motion.
The agreement limits consumer choice in out-of-print books about as much as it limits consumer choice in unicorns.

If only gay sex caused global warming - Los Angeles Times

Was I right about the dangers of the Internet in 1997? - By David Shenk - Slate Magazine

If one day I am to die, I want to be able to return. It is a waste of precious knowledge
and time for one to die. Look at all of these years of knowledge I have
acquired. I can't bring any if I die. So I will do all I can to keep alive!
People who call me "mad man" can go ahead and die. See if I
care. They rather age and die instead of trusting Alex Chiu's new technology
just because they think selling the Eternal Life Rings for $19 is a big scam, and they
don't want to lose the 19 bucks. They rather spend the 19 bucks in a restaurant for
dinner. These stubborn people do nothing to contribute to human race.
These people, in my eyes, are pests. I think these close minded people deserve to
die because they traded their precious life over 19 dollars. For that reason, I
offer people free instruction on how to build the eternal life devices thinking I might
save a few lives. Yet people email me and complain daily! Why are these
people still alive?

in fact, the alchemists
were right. Lead can be converted into gold by a particle accelerator hurling appropriate beams at lead targets.
The AI visionaries may be right in the same way, and they are likely to be wrong in the same way. Call Me Fishmeal.: Pimp My Code, Part 14: Be Inflexible!
wilshipley.com/blog/2007/05/pimp-my-code-part-14-b... if 1,000 John Smiths had registered our program, think of how many customers we'd have total: millions. Multiply that by $40, and one possible response to the problem of "too many John Smiths" would be: "Who cares, let's all move to Tahiti and spend the rest of our lives on the beach sipping rum."
one could define science as reason’s attempt to compensate for our
inability to perceive big numbers. If we could run at 280,000,000 meters per

You can't determine by looking at a photograph of two

Microsoft + Hewlett Packard = Microhard? if I had been writing the FAQ, I would have been afraid to say ``You don't need linked lists in Perl'' and leave it at that, because I would have imagined someone reading that answer and concluding that it was an evasion and that linked lists couldn't be done at all in Perl.
