I'd be willing to bet that a professional boxer could last one round of chess, but could his opponent be able to last one round with a professional boxer?
Remember, this is a Chevy we are talking about; do you really expect quality? I'd be willing ot bet the car get's 40 miles in pristine conditions, and about 30 in normal conditions, and down to about 20 in rush hour.
I'd be willing to wager that the vast majority of Americans do not know that the Capitol was ever burned down, let alone by the British in the War of 1812. Hell, Theres a good portion that could not even tell who faught in the War of 1812, or even when it took place! Ever watch street smarts? There was someoen who was asked when the War of 1812 took palce, and they got it wrong!
So, for many people, this was the first time the mainland has been attacked.
Hero:
1. a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.
2. a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal: He was a local hero when he saved the drowning child.
3. the principal male character in a story, play, film, etc.
4. Classical Mythology. a. a being of godlike prowess and beneficence who often came to be honored as a divinity.
b. (in the Homeric period) a warrior-chieftain of special strength, courage, or ability.
c. (in later antiquity) an immortal being; demigod.
What if the job someone was paid to do required the person to have "distinguished courage or ability" to do it in the first place? Are they still a hero, or just doing their jobs?
Tests in mathmatics and reading/writing are not simply about memorizing "a bunch of facts", as say History might be. Tests in those subjects test if the student learned the subject matter and can apply it to solve a problem. If you can't solve the math problem on a test, how are you going to use what you've learned in "the real world".
That made me laugh out loud. But yeah, it was a dark movie, but that's why I felt it needed a dark ending. A happy ending to a dark movie just feels "hollywood" or make believe.
Before having 1 core was enough, and having 512mb of RAM was enough for most consumers. Computing power grows, and software developers makes use of that additional power. However, this will mainly effect the gaming industry.
Seriously though--Blizzard should open up pre-orders for Diablo III and StarCraft II on Linux. I'd bet there's enough demand to make it worth their while.
Guess it depends, if they said that they expect it to cost $X Million to make it for Linux, and if they got enough pre-orders to meet the cost, then they would start working on porting it over to linux. But then they have the hassle of refunding everyone if they don't meet the $X million in pre-orders.
You can call your company and turn off your ability to receive text messages. My Mother did this after my sister connected her AOL IM so that she would get a text for every message sent ot her IM. My Mother received a $600+ bill that Verizon was willing to wave for her.

I tried went to look up the prices, because it seemed odd to me for Windows to be Cheaper. According to the website below, it is not.

"and I would also point out that you could also be a hero without being either brave or particularly able."
Certainly, anyone can be a hero for anything.
"free speech zones" reminds me of free trade zones in China

I like to keep you on your toes :-)
"lot of us do care"
With 300 million people in America and 6 billion in the world, "a lot" of people do a lot of things. But the Majority does not care.

We can have them going out of business, now can we? Congress will just have the US tax payers keep them floating like we do the airlines.
You could argue that taking a job that requires "distinguished courage or ability" is in itself an action that is "noble and admirable"

This phenomenon is not just limited to the Military. Poor budget planning like this happens all over in the Government and the private sector.
At least during WWII, there was something to actually fear; the world was at war. This fear of terrorism is a joke.

I originally wondered about the safety, then I realized I was riding a motorcycle! So, I'm pretty much already dead if I get rear-ended.
As I said, I placed errors there for your entertainment. :-)
Don't know if you've looked around, but not all Vegans are fit. There are overweight & underweight vegans too.
HahA...

Don't worry, Microsoft will come out with an upgrade to Vista that will waste the computing power of thoe 64 cores on the OS.

It justifies the work that they've based off the Riemann hypothesis
I liked the darker ending on the DVD versus the happier ending released to theatres.
Well, we can always hope they make a New Warcraft RTS game, as it does not interfere with the MMO game.
I thought the same thing about WoW vs WoD. But, I guess it worked for them. Maybe in a few years we will get WoD too.
