Meteor May Have Wiped Out Middle East Civilization
GFD writes "The Telegraph has a story about how a recently discovered impact crater in Iraq could have wiped out several civilizations that 'collapsed mysteriously' about 4000 years ago. This is the first find, AFAIK, of a meteor impact affecting human civilization directly. Very thought provoking."
Let's have a close look at the costs involved when running a Linux system.
heh. heh. me too.

Oh, yes. I could squeeze and tease those nipples. Bury my face between them, then bury my hot rod. Oh, yes. Fun indeed.

Um, are you talking about The Source, Compuserve, BIX and GEnie?
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
You must be in the NYC area so that I can deliver it to you or you can pick it up. I am serious about this. I'm moving and I hate to throw away such a fun board game.
I also have *many* materials science and engineering books that I will sell for very cheap. Email me if interested.
Sorry about the off-topic post.

I usually look at the keyboard when I see really bad mis-spellings to see how they could have been done through fast typing and just transposing or hitting keys that i right next to eachother - but this is clearly written by someone who started drinking early today...
Well, it depends on where they are from. Searching Google for poll muslims osama revealed this. (you need to scroll down a little).
Approval for the 9-11 attack was as low as 3% in Turkey, and as high as 26% in Morocco. The Netherlands were in the middle of that with 10%. Of course people are calling the poll into question, but I bet if you gather info from enough sources you can come up with some kind of figure for how many Muslims approve of terror, and although it is a minority, it is most likely not an insignificant minority.
Even given this, I want you to bear in mind that I'm not condemning them. For example, what if you had conducted a poll 100 years ago and asked Americans from the South "Do you think all Blacks should be lynched?". Now, if you conducted such a poll today the results would be quite different. One can only hope that the same is true for these Moslems who support terror.
For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?
It wasn't a meteor - it was a bug in iTunes 2.0.
Rest assured though, iTunes 2.1 WILL not wipe out hard drives OR civilizations.
