Well, I can't help you with the Tampax update, but there is news interesting to nerds in the bath salts arena.

There's another 'antiterror' drama on too, one episode they landed a cargo plane on a carrier (which has been done, once).

That isn't an anti-terror drama. It's JAG.

The original landing of a C-130 Hercules, a quad-turboprop transport plane weighing in excess of 85,000 pounds, on a carrier deck, on which that episode of JAG was (very) loosely based, occurred in October of 1963 and was achieved by Lt. James H. Flatley III. He later received the Distinguished Flying Cross for this amazing feat.

Perhaps the "antiterror drama" you're thinking of is "Threat Matrix" on ABC. It's actually a good show, and doesn't mangle jargon/geek terminology.

You forgot to add, "Guy scores a virtual Fifa Goal, has his vitual player pick up his virutal cell phone and calls his virtual family. Is fined by the Korean Virtual Video Game league for 'unsportsmanlike conduct'."

If you don't get the cell phone references, visit ESPN.

Neat

Actually, to follow up, the $25 million reward will not be paid, because the informant did not volunteer the information. Kind of an important distinction.

what if a random NBA player[espn.com] decides to visit the guy's office?

there are some articles about it here and here. and there's plenty more if you searchfor it.

the abcnews article says that the internal clock is reset by visual light cues from the sun, and that blind people are more susceptible to falling into a 25-hour rhythm.

I don't see how this would be a problem. Several credible reports exist that say our natural body clock cycle is 25-26 hours, making the adjustment to "Mars time" rather painless.

Yeah, and Saddam Hussein never accepted help or support of the United States also. And Noriega neither. Not the others of course!

The DNA tests are not in..YET! And I do mean YET!

But I really wish they had the results before they went public. Suppose for a moment that it's NOT him. That it's one of the body doubles surgically altered to look like Saddam. Do you really think Bush is gonna step up to the bully pulpit and say "Oops!"?

But cloning is not the same thing as embryonic-stem-cell research, although many cloning advocates strive mightily to blur the distinction.)

True, you can produce stem cells without cloning. However, as far as I know of the research, there are no known means for making general-purpose stem cells (IE, that could become either nerve, heart, or any other kind of cells) identical to Person X without making a clone of person X and harvesting it at around 1000 cells.

And while Bush has not outlawed embryonic stem cell research, he has banned the production of new stem cell lines. Furthermore, last I heard the extant cell lines have a major problem with them.

Now, mind you, I think cloning a human and bring the clone to term at this point would be a BAD thing to attempt. I also think that messing with embyonic-only cloning is something not to undertake lightly. But the blind bans are a Bad Idea.

The bad guys have even worse computer security than the US does. Besides, our hackers are better, anyway. (these guys owned an Arab bank to get Osama's account info).

I'm not anti-Iraqi, just anti people with no common sense. How about the 500,000 we killed via sanctions (UN estimates)?

Oh, and how you forget how Saddam was once your friend, when he was using American sold chemical and biological weapons against Islamic people? How you sold him deadly strains of Anthrax? WTF were you doing breeding Anthrax in the first place? For a nation that whines about WMD, you invented them all!!

And they are still angry, most of them blaming Saddam as they should.

Nope:

"I hate Americans," he said. "I want revenge. I will wait, I will join a group, and, one day, I will kill Americans," - Ahmed Muthana, 14 year old Iraqi who's uncle was killed by crossfire in during an operation to surpress an anti-America demonstration.

Saddam's regime had proven links to terrorism against the US and other countries.

Nope. The only tenious link is that he once offered money to the families of suicide bombers in Israel, many years ago. Most of the IRA terrorist organizations funding comes from the US. Should the UK invade you for this?

Saddam and Al Quada were already friends.

Absolutely not! They were sworn enemies! Not all Arabs get along, it's not us vs. them by the way.

Retaliating to effectively stop aggression is not in itself aggression.

Tell that to the kids that'll grow up hating you. Remember, the root of anti-US terrorism is in response to thing the Americans did to them first. But we are digressing into "he started it" terretory now, which is pointless.

By your logic, 9/11 was not an act of aggression as it was retailation to other aggression perpretraited by you. Of course, you aren't taught US/Middle East history in school, and Jerry Bruckheimer ignores the subject, so you can be forgiven for not having a clue.

The terrorists, however, hate freedom and democracy, which is why they are terrorists.

No, they hate America. There are many other countries that embrace freedom and democracy more than the US (e.g. Europe), yet you don't see them lining up to kill us. Bush uses "freedom and democracy" as it is a time-proven method to get the US population behind the "war". "Armed robbery writ large", more like, to paraphrase your Tom Clancy.

Bush and the coalition are dealing with the root cause of terrorism: the regumes which create it.

Good! When do we invade Saudi Arabia, staunch US ally and also the homeland and primary source of funding for the 9/11 attacks? Does that also mean that Bush etc are all resigning? Go read some history moron, the US is the worlds number one supporter of terrorism. Google for "School of the Americas", or if that is too complex for you, click on this link.

As your anti-US and anti-Iraq rants prove.

Actually, I'm very pro-US. I just can't see her anywhere these days. There is someone about who looks like her, but is very different now.

Bush is a scandal. The shit will hit the fan, Enron style, and the US will be forced to appologise to the world for all this. Then people will eat your words and ask "how could we let this happen?"

Earth isn't the only planet in this solar system that shows a warming trend. Mars is also warming. Did humans sneak over to mars and pollute that planet too? :-)

The economy is failing? Have you paid attention to recent reports?

here

Listen, here's the thing: less taxes would be good if there was also less spending. This president has spent more than any other before, and continues to spend and promise to spend. This is nothing like the "small government" of your traditional conservatives. Witness this.
Witness the latest spending on Medicare.

If you're interested in one explanation for why the current administration is cutting taxes so much while boosting spending (on everything, including, it now looks like, going to the moon), please google around for Grover Norquist's strategy to budgeting that he calls "starve the beast." Or, listen to this interview. It's pretty scary.

"The year's averages -- 31 percent for each group -- mark an uneven but long-term rise among Republicans, to a new high, and the fewest Democrats in annual averages since 1981. All else being equal, the trends suggest continued Republican competitiveness in election politics, albeit far from the Democrats' onetime dominance in sub-presidential races."

There will never be a permanent settlement on the moon. It's pretty well known by now that there is not enough water there to sustain any kind of colony of any sort (that ice cap turned out to be way too thin).

Scientific advances always have their naysayers. People who say "Sorry! Can't do that 'cause... x". Given the above statement it's reasonable to assume you would've told the Wright brothers "Heavier than air flight? No way!" had you been alive during those times.

Well, to establish a permanent moon base, they'll have to do things a little like the way they did on the USS Enterprise. They will have to recycle.

To quote from the second source:

Perjury before a grand jury is covered by a special statute with odd features. If one lies before a grand jury and then recants--tells the truth--before the grand jury or the prosecutor is aware of the lie, the witness has a defense to a perjury prosecution. In some perjury prosecutions a witness tells one version in the morning of his appearance before the grand jury and tells a different version in the afternoon. The grand jury perjury statute states that the government can make out a case based on the contradictory testimony itself. It need not prove which statement was true and which statement was false.

They don't, in case you didn't realize... at least not in the US where there is plenty of precedent for organizations being able to hurt those who develop technology that merely has potential for "badness". For example, DirecTV. See also RIAA v. ChewPlastic.com.

There is hope, however. DirecTV is facing racketeering charges for their efforts.

don't know about a bar, but you can sue the nfl for it.

In the FotR Extended DVD set, Christopher Lee mentions that he wanted to be Gandalf. Somehow, he ended up being Saurman.

If you listen to Lee, he's a dedicated LotR reader, and has quite a vision about how things should work. If he disagreed with Jackson's vision, I could see this resulting in some major personality conflicts between the two.

So, it's been one snub after another.

And hey, it could be worse. Stuart Townsend had been cast to play Aragorn, but after the first day of filming, the guy 'left' Jackson and Co. hired Mortensen.

Look up the work hoarding on google. The inability to part with useless items is an obsessive-compulsive disorder that should be treated by a professional.

For your kids, the rule is this:
Keep yourself private. Nobody needs to know what school you go to, what you wear, where you live, where you shop, or anything like that. If your kids ask why not, you can give'em this link:
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/sexsla ve010814.html

For you, the rule is this:
Talk with your kids. Have an interest in what they're doing. Ask them what they've been looking into, what they liked, what they didn't. Ask them to show you some of it if they will. Help them find sites that might have more stuff that they like, ask them for help finding things you might like. Basically, be involved.

A clandestine network of laboratories and safehouses within the Iraqi Intelligence Service that contained equipment subject to UN monitoring and suitable for continuing CBW research.

A prison laboratory complex, possibly used in human testing of BW agents, that Iraqi officials working to prepare for UN inspections were explicitly ordered not to declare to the UN.

Reference strains of biological organisms concealed in a scientist's home, one of which can be used to produce biological weapons.

New research on BW-applicable agents, Brucella and Congo Crimean Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), and continuing work on ricin and aflatoxin were not declared to the UN.

Documents and equipment, hidden in scientists' homes, that would have been useful in resuming uranium enrichment by centrifuge and electromagnetic isotope separation (EMIS).

A line of UAVs not fully declared at an undeclared production facility and an admission that they had tested one of their declared UAVs out to a range of 500 km, 350 km beyond the permissible limit.

Continuing covert capability to manufacture fuel propellant useful only for prohibited SCUD variant missiles, a capability that was maintained at least until the end of 2001 and that cooperating Iraqi scientists have said they were told to conceal from the UN.

Plans and advanced design work for new long-range missiles with ranges up to at least 1000 km -- well beyond the 150 km range limit imposed by the UN. Missiles of a 1000 km range would have allowed Iraq to threaten targets through out the Middle East, including Ankara, Cairo, and Abu Dhabi.

Clandestine attempts between late-1999 and 2002 to obtain from North Korea technology related to 1,300 km range ballistic missiles -- probably the No Dong -- 300 km range anti-ship cruise missiles, and other prohibited military equipment.

In addition to the discovery of extensive concealment efforts, we have been faced with a systematic sanitization of documentary and computer evidence in a wide range of offices, laboratories, and companies suspected of WMD work. The pattern of these efforts to erase evidence -- hard drives destroyed, specific files burned, equipment cleaned of all traces of use -- are ones of deliberate, rather than random, acts. For example, (and I'll let it go at that)

I'm sure I'll get an "Offtopic" for this ... but I need to make my point.

I was browsing Disney.com, ironically, and noticed that the traditional art animator description contains the line "DUE TO OUR CURRENT PRODUCTION NEEDS, WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING TRADITIONAL PORTFOLIOS ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS."

Should be a clue, eh? :)

Turns out the Iraquis have a little Kobe Bryant blood in them -- they like the old corn hole, too.

Five minutes after Lynch was captured, they're passing her around like a pack of smokes, fucking her in the ass, turning her into their own personal goatse man.

As Americans it is our patriotic duty to go to war overseas and kill as many filthy sand niggers as possible. Send their heathen asses to burn in Hell for all eternity. It's what Jesus wants us to do.

By modding this post down you are affirming your allegiance to the Jihad over in the Middle East and we will track your Allah-praising ass down and you will be executed for teason against the United States of America.

I hope someone at least left the window rolled down for him.

Ebert and Roeper's review sounds pretty well-balanced. They were both fans of the original, and see Revolutions as a good action flick, but not much in the way of a big-idea movie. (minor spoilers about what you knew was coming anyway). Ebert remarks, "by the end, I was satiated."

I didn't know what to make of Ebert until I watched Dark City with his commentary, then Citizen Kane. The guy knows what he's talking about. At least his opinions are largely compatible with mine, and probably the artsy-geek set at large.

Posting their reviews in .mp3 gets them some geek points anyhow.

Considering that Mars is experiencing global warming as well, maybe the situation is entirely out of our control? Perhaps we, as humans, have overrated our ability to affect our planet? Or would the extreme environmentalists claim we are somehow screwing Mars over too?

Of course, if this does indicate more of a pattern throughout the Solar System, then we have no control over it whatsoever. Which is probably why it's not really discussed.

Oh, and if you don't like the ABC link above, try it straight from the horse's mouth.
