Yeah, let's not forget the small matter of bringing the world to the brink of WWIII by allowing our arch enemy to secretly place nuclear missiles within range of Washington D.C. and the fact that until recently the same man who did that was still in power. Just having an embargo is a small price to pay for such stupidity. Times have changed since then, and I think we should be working some sort of diplomatic solution now. But an embargo was a perfectly reasonable alternative to going to WWIII at the time and for the duration of the Cold War.
wouldn't it have scoured the land higher up than 1,720 ft? Seems to me that with as much force as it had, the wave would be smaller and would wash up the land devastating everything in its wake. Would all the eyewtinesses be that consistently far off in their estimations?
Years ago when I worked at the post office, the sorting machines would sometimes just stop and wouldn't restart. Upon further inspection it sometimes turned to be a magazine with two different bar code stickers on it. The machine wanted to send it to two different bins and would just shut down. While we sat around waiting for it to be fixed, I would imagine the machine saying, "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that" then singing Bicycle Built for Two in a slowly descending manner.
Upon further reflection, ocassionally, when I wanted a break, I would affix an additional bar code sticker from a different zip code to a periodical. I don't recall anyone ever catching on.
Years ago when I worked at the post office, sometimes the sorting machines would just stop and wouldn't restart. Upon further inspection, it would sometimes turn out to be a magazine with 2 different bar code stickers on it. The machine wanted to send it to two different bins and just shut down. Every time that happened and we sat around waiting for it to be fixed, I pictured the machine saying, "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that" then singing Bicycle Built for Two in a slowly descending manner.

I believe that's officially called a FPMITA prison. I have a client in there right now. He says the trick is to kick someone's ass or become someone's bitch the first day.
Exactly. But it should pointlessly use up processing power, like have a high-definition reflection on its steel surface, so you can see the warped image of other programs in its reflection.
Just to show it's all a matter of perspective, I saw it as a rather UNpatriotic don't-support-the-troops kind of movie. It seemed to show war as always bad, the defense industry as crooked and evil, the war in Afghanistan pointless (we couldn't even stop the massacre in this one small town!). Also, the Iron Man saga always starts in a war-zone; it was Vietnam in the first issue, later revised to the first Gulf War, now Afghanistan. And I don't recall Iraq being in it at all. The story may have been "cheesy", but it was faithful to the comic book, more or less.
I don't want to start an argument or anything, but it just goes to show it's all a matter of opinion.
Why not try it and see what happens? What could possibly go wrong? Seriously, this is definitely something worth persuing. Maybe some variation of it in the future will prove better than what we're doing now. I'm sure there were people who didn't believe American democracy would work when our forefathers started this country.
Do they not realize the moon has water on its surface now, albeit in its solid state? I realize this is news and everything, but the title implies the moon no longer has water.
Exactly as I thought. You knew nothing about Laurie or the WTC attack or Iraq's involvement, so you did a quick google search and posted someone else's statement about her claims being "baloney" and failed to back it up with a single peice of evidence. I've read her book and I've read critiques of her book. The main complaint is that it's complicated, but no one has refuted any of her specific claims tying Iraq to the WTC attack. Her "leaps of logic" involving Iraq's serpentine efforts to cover up their involvement are perfectly in line with what they've done with other terrorist attacks, such as the 95 OKC bombing.
For the record, this is what I do for a living. I am an intelligence analyst working in Iraq. My wife is a counter-terrorism analyst, as are most of my friends. I was a counter-terrorism/force protection instructor as well as teaching numerous other asymmetric threat courses over the last 8 years. I have been reluctant to post some sources, be more specific or cover some topics to avoid disclosing classified information or even going close to a gray area. You're just not worth going to jail over. And I didn't say that Cheney gave a time period, but the documents did state he was on the payroll for the previous 10 years. Try reading what I said next time. And Iraq frequently "jailed" terrorists to appease international concerns, then said terrorists were remarkably found walking the streets soon after. Why would Iraq help a terrorist flee to its country then jail him?
And you missed the point about the papers anyway. They back up Laurie's claim of Iraq being involved with the 93 WTC bombing, as do numerous other sources.
You clearly have no concept of what is going on in terrorism, as exemplified by your quick google search in replace of real research as well as characterizing Al Qaeda's senior leadership's official statements as "a nutjob in the backwoods" and your pride in compiling a list of random terrorist events. Read a couple of dozen books on terrorism, and not just ones that back up what you already think. Go to some anti-terrorism conferences. Talk to people who do this for a living. Anything but bother me with more of your ignorance. I'd sooner discuss quantum mechanics with a third grader than continue discussing terrorism with you. Good. Bye.
Why would you go online to shop when you can just walk into a store and get more information with less hassle? Shopping in 3d allows you to talk to other users, browse efficiently (servers? fly to row 3 - no links to follow), listen to music, and pick up chicks all at the same time. Sort of like going to a mall, minus the flying part. I think this is the future of the web, personally.
Look at the review above someone posted. The user bought Vista and office and was aghast at the price. Then they bought Ubuntu as an alternative and was upset there was no premium version. It cost $170 and they were happy to pay it because of the value they received. When it was free, they probably couldn't be bothered.
Also, I added the caveat in my orginal post "in the absence of other knowledge." Users who know nothing about Linux, but are interested in an alternative to Vista, by definition, have no other knowledge. If they saw a distro for sale for $20 and one for $450, undoubtedly some would assume the more expensive one is better.
Here's an example. A tourist shop in New Mexico was trying to sell tourquoise. They tried all the usual tricks to move it; they moved it to the entrance, used large signs, etc. Finally, the owner left a note to mark it half off and went on vacation. When he came back, it was all gone. Turns out, they accidentally marked it up double. Tourists didn't know anything about turquoise, and assumed the high price indicated higher quality. I think the same thing would happen with selling Linux.
Apple users do have more knowledge. They know exactly what they're getting and why. I don't think this phenomenon applies to them.
"Not yet" being the key, which is why I said I hoped Google will push this hard. I'd like to see them turn it into what SL tried to be: a 3D version of the web.
I think that's mostly because there's nothing to do but gambling and sex - and they banned gambling. If more companies built stores in SL and sold real goods through it, if newspapers made virtual newsrooms where users could watch and read videos and articles, if other content owners made SL versions of their websites, there would be much much more to do. A chain reaction might start where a crowd attracts a crowd and so on. Maybe Lively will help drive that. I can hope, at least.
Did you have the option of downloading Redhat over broadband in 1997? And Ubuntu is only one CD, so downloading it is easier than the last distro of Redhat I had (five CDs). Plus it's the first time - to my knowledge - that someone is selling Ubuntu by itself. I think it's news. Maybe not earth-shattering mind-boggling news, but still news.

No no, they filmed it in the hollow Earth. Since there's mass all around you, gravity is lower there.

I'm sorry, what were we talking about again?

Awwwwwww yeeeeah. That's a whole lotta puddin.
Hierarchial organizations are much easier to attack.

The player's handbook clearly says I shouldn't lose XPs for tha...I mean, uh, I don't get your nerdy joke!
I guess I'm not hardcore enough. Does this mean I have to turn in my geek card?
The internet? Is that thing still around?
TFA mentions some unfinished projects. What about the island they wanted to buy and turn into a sovereign nation? How's that one coming along?

Yeah, and all those people posting to music fora will be contained for the rocking pnuemonia and the boogie-woogie blues.
