Aside from Enterprise having by far the best Star Trek intro, it was most certainly better than Voyager. Thanks to its shortness it didn't have time to accumulate more shitty episodes like Voyager did, and it has the less annoying cast.

Also, Scott Bakula.

Rising sea levels linked to unsustainable human activity--but not global warming. Everybody wins!

Getter: That's probably part of why everyone remembers "Firefly" so fondly. It didn't have a "Buffy after season three" or "X-Files after the fourth year".

That's pretty misleading, RB.

"In its landmark 2007 report, the UN's Nobel-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) ascribed 1.1mm (0.04 inches) per year to thermal expansion of the oceans -- water expands when it is heated -- and to meltwater from glaciers, icecaps and the Greenland and Antarctica icecaps.

That left 0.7mm (0.03 inches) per year unaccounted for."

I still hate my high school nurse for screwing up and forcing me to get an extra booster shot I didn't need. I can only hope this one gets some jail time... http://www.clickorlando.com/news/Nurse-refuses-student-inhaler-during-asthma-attack/-/1637132/13560430/-/wm13uaz/-/index.html

OH MY GOD who wrote that asthma article?! I'm way more upset about how poorly it was written.

It depends on if that nurse has ever given that student asthma medicine in the past. If she has, I don't think she can hide behind "well it's school policy..."

Well rich people are just arsehole, no matter where they come from.

Because of their new found wealth and not wanting to loss it by going to prison. But that happens everywhere, heck whole TV shows are based on that premise.

But they have less to loss and it doesn't make interesting drama.

Also this happened,

The funny/awful thing about the 38 Studios thing is that Curt Schilling is a huge anti-government dickhole who hates handouts, but doesn't seem to mind government when it's giving him a $75 million dollar loan.

Maybe in Australia they have wrong grammar?

Now onto something important.

Dang. Space robots have arrived.

Edit: Or are you more excited that it was a privately built satellite?

Edit: Edit: As a rocket scientist, you are obliged to tell me how to feel about this!!

I think it's great, because most of NASA's best research happened when they rented (or bought) a vehicle used by the private industry. It's like the difference between buying a computer off the shelf so you can write a book, and building your own computer factory to make the computer you'll use to write the book. So the idea of a private company that is able to conduct its own spaceflight

That said, it's not like they didn't use NASA and DoD space-tracking and -communications facilities for a lot of the flight. So there are still ways that government involvement was critical. But that's okay, because it's more like Air Traffic Control and less like basic research.

Not in my part of Oz.

No! Not my mayonaises! I was eating those!

I thought only white people could afford hating mayonnaise.

I've never read what you have posted before. I've always assumed it's stupid.

Wait till you them it's made from egg whites and oil!

It's the base of about 90% of the things I eat.

It's white looking goop. How is that appealing to a kid?

Since when is goop not appealing to a kid? Not to say mayo isn't one of the nastiest things ever invented by a supposedly intelligent race.

I'd like to nominate a sunny side up egg (with the yolk a little runny) as a burger topping. I have tried this, and it is good.

I think combining them is the only way to consume ketchup, I use that same mix on pasta instead of Ragu sauce.

I agree with you on the mayo but sour cream is not ubiquitous enough to assume that everyone's tried it. I've been meaning to try it but everything that it goes with I can think of a better alternative (like potatoes and chips).
