a power interruption or microfilament failure, the PARC vehicle has an on board backup battery that will allow the vehicle to safely and autonomously return to its launch site.' works.

a 'preview' (wordpressism) of the article

a piece describing
a scene he witnessed as
a medic in liberia, where enraged orcs sawed the legs off, and carefully too massive shits into,

ascii_field: but fella made
a quite convincing case, and wrote it down
assbot: Logged on 03-12-2015 14:47:46; mircea_popescu: does anyone have the line where i tell asciilifeform or someone that their love of lisp is misplaced, because

adlai: "if you're
a human trader, there's really no place like it"... it's all about how it makes you feel

a trader" ?
