Didn't they use a special process to preserve Lenin; something that has been lost because it wasn't documented or something like that?

These people, sharing their love of craft and the joy it brings them, at a random moment, is pure love. Brilliant! Wonderful! How lovely to start a long flight on such a wonderful note — quite literally.

For some reason, I'm okay living with Pi being as short as 3.14, no matter how far we've calculated it out to, because we never just throw it away when doing calculations.

It's actually been critical to many lawsuits. If I remember correctly, there was a lawsuit many years ago involving a Hollywood starlet and a papparazo that involved some photographs taken with a telephoto lens of her sunbathing nude in her back yard. Had the papparazo not used a telephoto lens to capture the…

The depths of your misunderstanding are biblical...

I pray that my fears are unfounded; I fear (given what history has already shown) they are not.

My brain hurts. This is way beyond my level of comprehension, because it is logically illogical, or illogically logical, or something like that.

Consider yourself chocolate-chipped!

I'm not being a "contrarian" or a "non-conformist." Long before Facebook, MySpace, Friendster, and all those other so-called "social media" sites, I kept in touch with my friends quite well, thank you very much, by using Instant Messaging, email, and phone calls. And before IM and free email, we used BBS'es, and…

I, and anyone else who has more than two brain cells that smack together and spark and idea, call BULLSHIT on Zuck and his statement!

Ding, ding, ding! Give that man a prize!

Microsoft or Apple would've been better; both of those companies actually use technologies they buy to improve consumer products, rather than gather data by spying on, and tracking their users in order to use that personal information to profit the way Google and Facebook do.

It certainly would make an interesting emergency escape device for the ISS in case of catastrophic failure. I suspect the visor would have to go though, due to the heat of re-entry, and be replaced with an external camera/sensor system and helmet HUD...

Well, first off, if I could live forever and fly a spaceship with infinite fuel, not only would I be out there in a heartbeat, but I'd be looking for a whole lot more than the edge of the Universe. :)

Ah, but there is one slight flaw...if The Universe is infinite, it cannot "grow" the way they posit "The Observable Universe" does, so to say "The Observable Universe is growing" as they do, would be untrue; rather, "The Observable Universe" is physically expanding into already existing space, just as population…

Very fun, indeed. :)

There is that. I suspect though, once it's brought before a judge, he'd laugh it out of court.

The trick to the whole thing is the ability to see it with the "unaided" eye. A lot of the precedent for this is actually based on lawsuits involving the paparazzi. But the courts have been very firm on defining "public" by asking if it could be seen with the unaided eye, or heard with the unaided ear.

Right, but we can measure the circumference of a basketball because it is finite. How do you pronounce boundary measurement on something that is infinite? That's what really blows my mind. Look at it this way:
