"Ballmer said he was "probably also amongst the most spammed people in the world"'
He can't let BillG have one over on him can he?
It's kind of sad, while Bill Gates strives to be as cool as Steve Jobs, Ballmer wants to be cool like Gates. Dude, we've seen the video, you ain't as cool as Bill Gates.
It's not the Judeo-Christian folks who won't listen to evidence of older or different Indian evidence in the United States, it's the traditionalist Indian folks.
Like Kennewick man or anything that puts the current dogma into question is ignored or attacked. The 60 Minutes piece about Kennewick man was very good, there was an offical from the tribe up in Washington who was sueing to supress the evidence and when asked, why not let it be examined he said, well religion tells us this thing, so there is no point in looking at the evidence because it's wrong.

I'm from the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation, you know some of the folks who claim the Black Hills of South Dakota and want money for all that gold and silver because they claim they sprung from the Earth there. Well the claim is idiotic, because they didn't even get to western South Dakota until the 1770s. But you can't talk facts with some people.
It's not fair to paint this sort of ignorance as a religous right thing in the US, because the left is just as ignorant in some places.
As someone who has been forced to see every CSI ever, the Vegas series does not portray the Police as honest, hard-working or fair. Nor does it portray the Justice System are fair, why there was a Judge who was ordering evidence to be thrown out.
There's been cops leaving thier post, cops shooting civilians, court clerks killing suspects, cops gambling on duty, cops taking hookers home and so forth.
It's a 60 year old design, not a 60 year old aircraft at the moment. The B-52s because of the size of thier avionics and electronics from the 50s are an easy to upgrade platform that allows them to remain functional. The B-52s and all US military aircraft for that matter, are terribly well documented.
I've read about the USAF sending teams down to AMARC in Arizona to look at B-52 Ds and Gs in storage to see what they find, for example, they discovered a leak in the roof lead to corrosion in the aircraft, so the USAF told everyone to look for leaks there in the A pillar of the cockpits and they found most of the aircraft in the fleet at the problem, so they were able to fix the problem before something disasterous happened.
Maybe there are myths about really big floods, because there have been really big floods.
No, I'm not talking about the earth being 6000 years old and Mosasaurs being proof of evolution.
For example, the Great Flood myth that pop up around the Persian Gulf all stem from the fact that the Persian Gulf filled up only about 9000 years ago. Well it may have gone from marsh to it's current form sometimes in there. Likewise it's a stretch, but not too much of one to have some of those myths derive from the end of the most recent Ice Age and the rising of the water levels from that.
"In fact, one of the BBs sunk at Pearl Harbor was also named USS South Dakota, a sister ship of the USS Arizona."
Sorry, that is incorrect.

The US had crappy tanks because it was illegal in the United States to built a tank for fighting tanks. They could only be used for shooting infantry. Thus nothing until the Grant/Lee had anything bigger than a 37mm gun. And they wern't suposed to go to fast else the line of communications would be broken.
We all were preparing for war, for example, the South Dakota class of Battleships.
http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/usnshtp/bb/bb 57 cl.htm "The four South Dakota class battleships represented the second group of 35,000-ton capital ships whose construction began shortly before the Second World War. Built with Fiscal Year 1939 appropriations, they were more compact and better protected than the preceding North Carolina class, but had the same main battery of nine 16"/45 guns in triple turrets. Their innovative hull design featured an internal armor belt, to protect the ships' vitals against 16" shells"
North Carolina (BB-55), built at the New York Navy Yard. Keel laid in October 1937; launched in June 1940; completed in April 1941.
Washington (BB-56), built at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, Pennsylvania. Keel laid in June 1938; launched in June 1940; completed in May 1941 South Dakota (BB-57), built at Camden, New Jersey. Keel laid in July 1939; launched in June 1941; commissioned in March 1942.
Indiana (BB-58), built at Newport News, Virginia. Keel laid in November 1939; launched in November 1941; commissioned in April 1942.
Massachusetts (BB-59), built at Quincy, Massachusetts. Keel laid in July 1939; launched in September 1941; commissioned in May 1942.
Alabama (BB-60), built at the Norfolk Navy Yard, Portsmouth, Virginia. Keel laid in February 1940; launched in February 1942; commissioned in August 1942
Those were not being built for a peace, those were being ordered and laid down for the oncoming war. The problem was, everyone was planning on it kicking off in the mid-40s, or even 1950, Hitler didn't think the Allies would go to war over Poland, just like they didn't go to war over Czechslovakia. Chamberlin thought he had won peace in his time from Hitler.
The French made a decent stand in 1940. The Maginot line was a disaster mainly because, well the Germans trained to take massive forts like Eben Emael, forts which stopped them in WW1 and because the Line wasn't finished because of budget cuts in the 1930s.
The idea that static lines didn't work in the Second World War is false. The did work, but they were not wonder weapons. The Gothic Line in Italy really did help stop advances in Italy by the Allies.
Everyone was preparing for war in Europe and the Pacific leading up to the begining of WW2. That's why the US had built the B-17s and why we'd ramped up Battleship and fighter production, likewise the British and French were ramping up ship production.
I think this works by someone with a nothing story putting a link to it here and so people click through and huzzah! Hits come a rolling.
And wow, that is a poorly written article too.
"For lovers of irony we might note that this feature is about shaky technology. But don't knock it. Hummingbirds hover, they hang in mid-air, because of their vibrating wings. The apparently impossible can happen. A violin's shaking strings produce music. "
It was like, shaky...humm, Word Thesaurus, give me shaky words to use and I will use them all in my closing.
How do you know SS1 doesn't scale well? Did you see the documentary on Scaled that was on the Discover Channel? Scaled has plans for an orbiter vehicle with a big old booster.
Actually, I read about this in a book by someone at Janes.
CIA and KGB have both used remote viewing for decades and CIA cut the program in the early 90s, then hired back everyone and renamed the program as something Black.
Basicly the end of the Cold War allowed folks at CIA to see for themselves what the Soviets did and they were shocked at how accurate the remote viewing was.
I think it's whacky, but those are the facts as I've read them from no whacky sources.
Yea, I'm an early Konfabulator puchaser, actually have three licences, but I think Rose is off his rocker by getting so bent out of shape over Dashboard.
If Bush hasn't personally caused the deaths of innocents in Iraq, then Hitler and the Nazis weren't responsable for the killing of innocents in WW2?
Yea, alright. Show me where Bush said all the problems of the United States were caused by the Arabs. Show me where the Republican Party ran on a line of discriminating against Arabs. Hell Hitler said Germany lost WW1 because of the Jews, so show me where Bush said we lost Vietnam because of the Arabs or anyone.
Actually, Hitler didn't even authorize the Final Solution, if you'll look at it, his leadership did in 1942, but you know, I doubnt Karl Rove and Rush Limbaugh have meet to discuss the killing of people in Iraq.
I'm in the middle politically and my take on it is that the polarization is on the Left, not the Right or the Middle.
For instance, looking at the way the Nation or Salon refer to the President with with far more disgust and "hateful" speech than how say the National Review talks about Kerry.
And I see it in the Real World. Ask someone why they are voting for Bush and a Bush supporter will go, 'well, I don't agree with this, but I do agree with this and that and the other thing, so that's why."
Ask a Kerry supporter on the street why they are voting for Kerry and 3 out of 5 times you'll get a "Bush Lied! Bush Murdered! Bush Dodged the Draft!"
Like, Salon's headline at the moment - "Winning on fear itself, the GOP is ready to take the country even farther right."
Compared to National Review - "President Bush's win last night was a ratification of the good sense of the American public."
Hold up now. The statement that 49% of Americans who voted hate W is a bit much.
Or is it?
Me, I voted Democrat in '92, '96 and '00. But the fucking virulent hate without much rational thought or reason is why I voted Republican this year.
I couldn't take the nonsense...the hate that was coming from some Liberals.
Yesterday we had a conversation in a meeting and someone admitted to voting Bush, a lady went off, yelling Someone looked over in horror and yelled "how could you? He has raped and murdered millions in Iraq!"
I said, "George W. Bush personally has raped and murdered people in Iraq?"
"Yes he has!"
"Personally? Like he went over and raped and murdered people?"
"Yes he has! Millions!"
Back to the word "hate", do you really think that every single person who voted for Kerry "hate" George W. Bush? I doubt it.
"Hate is the generic word, and implies that one is inflamed with extreme dislike. We abhor what is deeply repugnant to our sensibilities or feelings. We detest what contradicts so utterly our principles and moral sentiments that we feel bound to lift up our voice against it. What we abominate does equal violence to our moral and religious sentiments. What we loathe is offensive to our own nature, and excites unmingled disgust."
Yea, in all honesty, the reaction to 9-11 and the Cole and the bombings in Africa and the WTC in '93 resulted in far less of a racial reaction than say in WW1 or WW2.
Other Presidents who took away civil liberties include
Lincoln - During the Civil War, Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus and frequently imprisoned Southern spies and sympathizers without trial as well as imprisoned Newspaper editors and martial law was declared in cities like Baltimore.
Wilson - During World War I, Congress curbed civil liberties with sweeping censorship and antisedition laws. In 1919 the Attorney General, A. Mitchell Palmer, responded to a bombing at his home by authorizing raids in 33 cities and arresting 6,000 people, most of them immigrants, some of them citizens, on suspicion that they were Communists or anarchists. Soon after declaring war on Germany and its allies in 1917, Congress ruled that the U.S. mail could not be used for sending any material urging "treason, insurrection or forcible resistance to any law." It punished offenders with a fine of up to $5,000 and a five-year prison term. The government soon banned magazines including THE MASSES and THE NATION from the mails for expressing anti-war sentiment.
FDR - Japanese American Internment, German American Interment, Italian American Internment. On Feb. 19, 1942, Roosevelt signed an executive order authorizing the secretary of war or military commanders designated by him to establish "military areas" from which "any or all persons" could be removed. In 1942 the Supreme Court ruled that Roosevelt's military commissions were constitutional when used to try eight Nazi saboteurs for violating the laws of war, spying and conspiracy.
Truman - National secrecy laws, CIA establishment
Clinton - The copyright laws, President Clinton asked Congress for the authority to conduct "roving wiretaps''--that is, wiretaps not on a particular phone but on any phone used by a particular individual--without court approval. Although that specific provision did not pass, the 1996 terrorism bill did expand the government's wiretapping authority. During the Clinton administration, HUD began investigating and threatening community activists who objected to shelters and public housing units in their neighborhoods. In New York, Berkeley, Seattle, and other places HUD enforcers demanded correspondence, minutes of meetings, flyers, and lists of contributors on the grounds that the activists were engaged in illegal racial harassment.
