Good News: Slow, but steady progress

Nature's not entirely alone, when it come to Dyson's, which have "the proper amount of suckage, er, suction." A surprising number of online forums used to automatically block the use of the term suck[tion.] How they coped on vampire support forums I have absolutely no idea. It must have sucked the life out of many of them. "Suck" is, I believe, a popular, derogatory Americanism amongst the linguistically immature. i.e. Those given to saying "OMG" to describe literally everything from dropping a single, worthless item. To being confronted by wholesale, nuclear Armageddon on their own doorstep. Hope this helps? |

I suspect blocking that particular word has more to do with what people are often told *to* suck, rather than the generic "that is undesirabl" context. I've yet to see an online forum that didn't suck, though. It's inherent to the nature of the medium. -- Terry Austin Vacation photos from Iceland: https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/QaXQkB "Terry Austin: like the polio vaccine, only with more asshole." -- David Bilek Jesus forgives sinners, not criminals. |

Way back in the early days of the internet I wanted to find articles regarding naked-eye astronomy but was blocked from doing so because of the word 'naked'. It was very frustrating...

I find it difficult to imagine a nudist/naturist branch of amateur astronomy. It is just so wrong on so many levels. ;-) |

I had a similar experience with a Leeds University PC. The university blocked access to the home page of a local Quaker astronomer citing Sex and hate mail. When I went home and looked up the site on my own PC I finally concluded that the university had blocked Sextans and HTML. |

My poor language and behavior years ago was conditioned by a belief that I was dealing with wolves in sheep clothing but realized over the years it was something far worse - under the skin of howling wolves is a sheepish mindset.
Mediocrity is something to be endured for it is impossible to deal with people for whom neither life nor death has any meaning. |

The Shuttle was 100 TIMES more versatile than these ancient 70's era rockets. But it's moot since the U.S. is still forced to going to RUSSIA to launch humans. |

Anyone who wants to launch a multi-ton payload into space. Do you regularly pay $8 for a burger when you could have it for $2.50? Yeah, you probably do. The Shuttle was 100 TIMES more versatile than these ancient 70's era rockets. Can you post a link to an operational rocket from the 70s that could land and be resused? Because you just claimed they existed. And no, you can't. But it's moot since the U.S. is still forced to going to RUSSIA to launch humans. Until sometime (probably) this year, when the process of getting a human rating is complete for SpaceX and ULA both. Moron. Go maturbate to Musk's photo some more. You know you will. -- Terry Austin Vacation photos from Iceland: https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/QaXQkB "Terry Austin: like the polio vaccine, only with more asshole." -- David Bilek Jesus forgives sinners, not criminals. |

Might I humbly suggest a spelling checker to avoid all possible confusion as to your exact meaning? If you're looking for permission, you have bigger problems than my inability to type. Monsieur A. Rich is a maturber from Canada, after all. Not from the United Strumpets of America. Which has nothing whatsoever to do with his drooling ignorance of the technological advances between the shuttle and SpaceX's Falcon rockets. An easy mistake to make.
