I think the "hoax" crowd neglects the possibility that Fossett survived the crash and walked towards what he thought was civilization. The Lady Be Good" was a US bomber that went down in the desert during World War II. The crew bailed out and some of the survivors walked over a hundred miles in the scorching desert with only a very limited supply of food and water. Perhaps Fossett crash-landed and tried to survive off the land awaiting rescue. He might have became disoriented and left his ID and belongings behind, or even may have sought shelter in some gully and died there.
Airlines, easy world-wide travel, creation of the Pill and unprotected sex, a government unwilling to stymie the flow and treatment of GRIDS (Gay-Related Immune Deficiency Syndrome) (later known as AIDS), gay culture, etc.
1. Buy low cost, no load index funds. Warren Buffet says so. 2. The economy as a whole will continue to expand. Index funds track that growth over time. 3. A 10-40 year investment is a gamble, but inflation is a guaranteed loss over that time.
But Guenneau cautions that large structures like islands and coastlines are unlikely to become invisible anytime soon, because building the many small islands needed to protect one is such a big job.
"It's crazy - maybe only people in Dubai could do this," he adds, referring to the spectacular artificial islands built there.
Smaller structures such as offshore oil platforms would be easier to protect, he says.
No, we are not going to be protecting islands with this thing anytime soon. And we're not protecting tsunamis from anything because the tsunami will just wash over this suckers unless we build them really, really tall. In which case, we're better off building a freaking wall.
I was just thinking that it was so lucky the part failed TWO WEEKS before the last repair mision ever was going to be launched--and lucky that the part was not needed for the safe operation of Hubble. It would have sucked if Hubble had to be de-orbited right before the repair mission. Hopefully, the gyroscopes and other parts necessary to keep the Hubble safely in orbit hold out until the makeup repair session.
It also is concerning because if you get used to failure as acceptable then each layer is going to become increasingly compromised until you have no protection at all. You will have multiple layers of protection only if you maintain each and every layer as though it were the only layer of protection.
Even if Gore would have unilaterally invaded Iraq without seeking a world-wide consensus first, do you think that he would have invaded with a woefully inadequately-sized force that could not secure the peace? Do you think he would have disbanded the Iraqi police and military after seizing power, so that you'll have hundreds of thousands of jobless men trained to use weapons? Do you think he would have de-Baathed Iraq so that all the doctors and schoolteachers lost their jobs because you had to swear allegiance to the Baath party in order to have any important job? Do you think he wouldn't have had a plan set up to rebuild Iraq promptly and restore order so that it wouldn't devolve into a clusterfuck of neglect and lawlessness?
I think any sane person fighting a war would have done all of those things. Gore would have; Bush did not. Even assuming everything you said, Bush winning the election was a terrible tragedy for this country.
Thompson's response was directly aimed at casting himself as a defender of all things Christian who is being ostracized for his beliefs. He's actually a dumb poopy-head, as my nephew says, but the folks at Fox News would be glad to have someone who has fought against the streak of anti-Christianity sweeping the country (I know, I know).
This is wrong; there's no liability no matter what happens. Read the Google EULA, or for that matter, any Windows EULA. You take the program as is, with no warranty of non-interruption, no warranty on fitness for purpose, and all warranties are disclaimed to the extent allowable by law. If Google deleted all of your e-mail, you would have no recourse against them under the EULA. The same is true if Word suddenly deleted all of your documents.
A repackaged Vista SP2 would sell like hotcakes. Vista SP2 was so much better than the original version. It was more stable, booted very quickly, and didn't keep harassing me. I was able to convert lots of users back to Vista simply by installing the SP2 upgrade. The hardware manufacturers have started to support Vista, so those problems will decrease. If all Microsoft did was to decrease the bloat from the Vista SP2 code base just a little, worked with vendors to have hardware compatibility out of the box, this Windows 7 will sell like hotcakes.
Jones Day was founded in Cleveland and has its largest office there. Moreover, the problem is people linking non-Jones-Day-related stuff to "Jones Day." Pretend I linked your name to "Asshole."
It's not legal to shoot a human target with a 50 caliber sniper rifle. However, it is legal to shoot the helmet he's wearing.
This actually isn't true. It is perfectly legal in wartime to blow your opponent's head off with a.50 caliber rifle regardless of whether or not he has a helmet on.
Max Brooks wrote both the Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z, which are kind of like sequels. The Guide explains the background of the infection while World War Z provides a narrative. It's a damn good book, and Hollywood better NOT fuck it up.
Anonymous wasn't smart enough to download all the e-mails but what do you think was in that draft letter e-mail?! No one is accusing her of anything wrong only because there is ACTUAL proof because Anonymous didn't download the messages, and because it's slimy to use stolen info to attack your political foes. But if you asked her under oath, Palin would probably have to admit that she's using her personal e-mail for at least some work-related e-mails.
Deletionpedia is newsworthy, especially now that there's a controversy afloat. (See the Streisand Effect.) The appearance of impropriety is often worse than the scandal itself, so Wikipedia ought to just leave the entry be lest it be accused of censorship.
... I wonder what the voice would sound like. I mean, the vocal cords and stuff determine what your voice sounds like, so if they read your mind and pipe that through a system it'd probably sound like a robot.
Aside from the Thirteenth Amendment right against indentured servitude, you can only assert your constitutional rights against the Federal Government. The people of this country have a greater right to the personal e-mail of the candidates seeking the highest offices in the land than the government has to the personal e-mail of the masses. If warrantless wiretapping is so great, and if you have nothing to hide, why oppose our efforts to read your mail?
You go to jail if you get caught. Someone disclosed DirecTV's newest encryption protocol used to protect its content, and got arrested by the FBI for his efforts.
Look at Youtube and Liveleak; there are dozens of terrorist training and recruiting videos, as well as videos of Islamic attacks against American troops. There are posters that post pro-Islamic statements on those websites as well. Now, many of those are trolls, but if the NSA tracks these people and put a web together, they probably could get a good idea of how things work. Abrogation of civil rights? Sure. The worst thing the Bush Administration ever did? Not the least.
Mozilla has the Firefox icon and image that it has a trademark in. The Mozilla Foundation wants to protect that mark; otherwise, any browser can decide to use the Firefox icon and dupe people into using it. Or someone can start their own Mozilla fork and use the icon. I can't tell you why the other programs don't display a EULA, but I can understand why the Mozilla Foundation would chose to do so.
The major thing about the Predator is that it is a kill vehicle that can loiter for a long period of time over a particular area. This capability allows the decision chain to be dramatically shortened. When you have actionable intelligence detected by a Predator, you don't have to wait for an F-16 or B-1 to be tasked to your target; the Predator can take care of business itself. And thelong loiter times allow the Predator to watch over an area where lots of IEDs are planted, or where mortars are frequently launched. The UCAVs are smaller and less detectable so the bad guys just do their thing while a Predator is readying their demise.
And the UCAVs are unreliable and crash all the time, but that's fine. The Predator is the first of its kind so it's not surprising they have problems. But importantly, instead of having to make man-rated aircraft the Air Force can make a whole crapload of less-reliable but much cheaper Predators. It can cover more territory and put more fear into the bad guys. Once in a while, a Predator may fall out of the sky. But who cares? You've only lost ten million dollars, and not a pilot or a $40 million jet fighter.
What you wrote about Bob Woodward is absolutely wrong. He has been a constant thorn on the side of the Bush Administration. His last book was "State Of Denial," a harsh portrayal of the Bushies as a bunch of incompetent nincompoops that cost thousands of Americans their lives. You're thinking of the other Bob, Mr. Novak. That guy is a partisan hack who happily outed Valerie Plame to suit the neocon agenda.
While I generally believe that new forks are good things, I think that HP should work with Dell on Ubuntu. Hardware manufacturers would have to support Ubuntu if they want to get Dell and HP business, which I would have to guess is a lot of money. We would have better hardware support.

And there's reason to believe that the narrow gaps in the elections were not mistakes. According to tools we use to monitor the validity of foreign elections, the 2004 election was rigged. It may be the case that 269 votes was NOT the difference after all.

Palin's nomination as the Republican candidate for VP seems to bear this out.
One of the e-mails was entitled: "Draft letter to Governor Schwartzenegger / Container Tax". Another was "Fw: veep talking pts". There's also an e-mail between Palin and Sean Parnell regarding Sean's campaign for Congress. Parnell is the Lt. Governor of Alaska.
Anonymous wasn't smart enough to download all the e-mails but what do you think was in that draft letter e-mail?!
