I'd say that a good dividing line is the intent of the attack. Real terrorism indiscriminatly targets members of a population. I don't think this guy qualifies as a terrorist because he targeted individuals. To clarify, boobytrapping someone's mailbox because of a personal feud is not terrorism. Randomly boobytrapping a mailbox because you don't like postal workers is terrorism.
He's refering to part 2. The UK is about a week and a half ahead of the US. Which I like, cause I can download high quality, commercial free episodes a while before they even get around to airing them here.
I don't know the laws but the Secret Service, from what I understand, is supposed to protect politicians (The President, Vice President, and a few others). That's what they are supposed to be doing.
You're right, you don't know the laws. Nor do you understand what the Secret Service is supposed to be doing. Maybe you should do a little reading first about what they are supposed to be doing before spouting paranoid crap.
You're an idiot. If you knew one thing about what ADHD is, hell if you'd even read the post, then you'd understand why they use stimulants to treat it. In fact, the biggest problem (aside from misdiagnosis) is that people become resistant to the drugs over time.
That script sucks. Given that my hostname identifies my state and metropolitan area (I have roadrunner) it still can't figure out that I'm in the US. Weak.
Except for the fact that FOX did not produce Firefly, Mutant Enemy did
I don't think that's the way things work in tv. Mutant Enemy are the people who are in charge of the creative aspects of the show, but Fox still owns the show because they put up the money and resources to actually make it. Buffy and Angel are also both owned by Fox. That's why Buffy jumped from WB to UPN, because Fox demanded more money from WB to continue airing. WB wasn't prepared to put up the cash, but UPN was. The situation isn't the same with Firefly because Fox was airing the show on their own network instead of selling it to someone else. I imagine that Fox surreptitiously had a hand in making sure no other network picked up Firefly. Look at it from a network exec's POV. If another network picked it up and it flopped, it wouldn't have been worth the time and effort to negotiate the contract. But if it succeded on another network then the Fox execs look like morons for dumping a successful show. It's lose-lose for them.
Firefly had better ratings than X-Files did when it was on Fridays.
Fox was a very different network then with a much smaller market share. Bottom line, they aren't as desperate for viewers as they were then and feel that they can tell people what to watch instead of giving people what they want to watch.
If you aren't allowed to call them on their cell phone, then they aren't technically clients. The word "client" implies a prior business relationship which makes it legal to call them.
A few years ago, there was a local weather channel in my cable lineup. This channel was run entirely off of a windows 98 box that just downloaded the weather data from the NWS or something.
Of course no one ever checked it, so every so often the weather scroller would crash, and they'd broadcast a windows desktop and an error message for a week or so before anyone noticed.
Except that calling someone an asshole is a subjective statement. Whether you like it or not, you are a consumer. Everyone is a consumer. That's just the way things are.
It is possible to trigger a reboot in the box by overloading it
This occasionally happens to my fairly new, non-DVR, digital cable box.
Every so often, the box seems to get... "stuck" on certain commands, and if I try to give it a new command before it's sorted out the first one it reboots.
I don't know about your highschool, but at mine the attendance policy was such that if you missed too many days, I think it was 10/quarter, then you received failing grades automatically.

The problem is the entertainment industry thinks the US is a bunch of morons....
I'd say the problem is that by and large, they're correct.
You're not serious, right? Just because they're forcing a different option doesn't mean that they aren't still forcing the choice.
None of them ever really seem to subject the captains to any serious moral dilemmas
I take it then that you never saw the sixth season DS9 episode "In the Pale Moonlight"? That episode defined "captain facing serious moral dilemmas".

Heh, that's a good way to put it. But like I said, Fox is a different network now.
If X-Files had premired this season on Fox instead of a decade ago it would already be off the air.
If Firefly had been on a smaller network like WB or UPN like Buffy and Angel then it would probably still be on the air and thriving.

I was thinking the same thing. It may not have been plagerism, but it was pretty darn close.
So rare that a skilled veterinarian might be able to revive it.
Diesel cars are popular in Europe because you aren't allowed to drive a gasoline car there until you're 25.
That would be pretty cool. Do you think he'd rise from his grave or just issue a press release?

Maybe you should use fabric softener when you launder money...
I hate to break it to you, but Boston isn't a state.
They could always start selling drugs. At least people want drug dealers...

whenever I get a call for Mr. 'Dorsey', I know it's time for a round of, "fuck with the caller until it's boring."
Unfortunatly, that doesn't work so well for me...
Actually, it's British.
