Is that now that if 5 arabs get onto a plane and announce they are taking it over, you assume that you are going to die, so you bull rush them and hope to kick their ass.
Actually the Northrop Flying Wing -didn't- work because it needed computers. It was reportedly super unstable, a total pain ot fly, and it finally crashed, I believe.
This is the first new landing on a new planet like body since the 1970s, yeah, this little Huygens probe is a big, big deal.
Good luck on Deep Impact too. I want my kids to be able to mine asteroids.
I would like to clone my pecker

I figure that I could clone my pecker, and stack it onto the end of the one I have, and double my size. Then, I could do it again, and, after 64 times, I would have a dong the size of the universe, which would collapse on itself into a singularity before bursting to create a new universe. Thus I will truly have had the big bang.
When we are mining asteroids, we'll need something like the shuttle to land loot on the earth. Don't laugh. Rocket costs are falling to where a 50,000 lb cargo of gold and platinum could pay for the mission.
All of this talk about how the US is "messing with their oil wells" is ridiculous. People forget in this equation that America is the largest customer of mideast oil and I frankly think we could get better service than having a bunch of muk-muks slam planes into our buildings, drive bomb loaded busses into our buildings, push our citizens in wheelchairs off of boats, and of course blow up our planes.
If Arab terrorists wanted freedom, they would have signed the Oslo deal and gotten a Palestinian state. There would be freedom of speech in arabic places. The hardliners in Iran wouldn't be overturning Democratic reforms.
The fact of the matter is that Arab terrorists believe that Democracy is evil and freedom is literally a sin because it goes against fundamentalist islamic law. I actually asked a mullah on the American islamic web site why there was no separation of church and state and his response was that islam is a practical religion that serves all needs, therefor, there is no need for other religions.
Nope, terrorists do not want freedom. What they want is absolute power. They want to destroy western civilization, as they have been trying to do since the first muk-muks invaded France in the 700s (and were stopped at Tours). Pretending otherwise is ignorant.
I take Bin Laden's statements as the bs that they are. You on the other hand have proved yourself a fool. Hitler used to say all the time that he did not want war, if only we would meet his demands. You argue for appeasement, just like Chamberlin did in 1938 when he carved up Czechoslovakia to avoid a war.
The nature is in a delicate balance argument is a lark, because nature is not in a balance. It's a chaotic system, gradually spinning from one state to another. We talk about preserving the balance of species but the species themselves are evolving, moving, and in any case they have goals of their own.
There's no law of physics that says the sun couldn't vary its output slightly, flash off massive coronal discharge smack into the earth, or that a major supervolcano could erupt on the earth, or some other natural ill would befall us. These are all forces completely beyond our control, and the best bet is to keep our economy growing by any means necessary so we can get into space and spread to other planets.
Throw away that tired old web browser! With Firefox you get SECURITY, STANDARDS Compliance, all in one easy payment of not $100, not $50, not $25, but, FREE. Yes it's free!
I hardly see the need for special legal sympathy for the producers of television when the producers of every other manufactured good are getting nothing but the continual shaft in the interests of progress.
The airwaves go into the air, and land on my TV set. At they point they are the recipients. If the recipient wants to post them on his website, that's his perogative. It used to be that TV was a good business model, but so too was making horseshoes.
It sucks for the guys making TV shows, but, just like it is for the programmers displaced by Indians or outsourced labor, just like it is for the union guy displaced by a mexican or a chinamen, it's just too bad. Maybe if your side was as concerned about the millions of other people displaced by change, the plight of the studio executive or wealthy recording star might merit more sympathy. But, it's not, so fuck them.
Copyright law doesn't protect us all. In general, intellectual property doesn't. You've said it yourself, it's a question of money. If some people can defend their rights, and other's cannot, then, the law doesn't protect everyone.
Why should you even have to apply for a broadcast license? Why can't I just broadcast? Because it infringes on the right of someone to have a bigger transmitter than me? Instead of selling licenses for big people to broadcast, why not just limit transmitter sizes and let everyone broadcast? Why not just give everyone a frequency, Kenneth?
In terms of model rocketry, there are many, many limitations and the ATF is actually looking to ban model rockets altogether. Basically, they are designed to keep me from accidently hitting a plane flying over my house. Sounds good, but, why is the plane flying over my house to begin with?
Arguing that you are in favor of the status quo because it is the law is a circular argument! This is a debate about what the law should be. In a society where the government is by the consent of the governed, we have the right to argue whether a law is good or bad and needs to be changed, and we also have the right to decide if the risks of compliance are worth it.
In simpler times yes, crimes could be equated with moral wrongs. It is both wrong and illegal to kill a man. It is both wrong and illegal to rape a woman. But in these days much of law concerns itself with the government ceding the rights of the people to businesses in order to create a more profitable economy for the owners of those businesses, and the morality of that is questionable.
Those who have seen me post will know that, if anything, I'm a Republican Troll, but, even I cannot agree with the preposterous notion that violating a law at the expense of a corporation is tantamount to sin.
In your specific case, you defend the rights of broadcasters at the expense of the man who cannot get TV. But, keep in mind that under Federal Law, that man is NOT allowed to broadcast so that TV stations can make money. What would the landscape of America look like if we could all broadcast on TV? What if TV stations were limited by a range of a 5 miles, not 50? Why should the rights to the airwaves be the exclusive domain of a few? And what of the right of way to put wires in the ground? Why should I have to give up my ground? The public domains that get granted? The right of companies to put satellites over my house or fly planes over my house so that I cannot launch planes or model rockets of my own? In order to have this industrial society, the people have had to give up a huge mountain of rights, and often without any real consent of their own. So yes, while you may not agree with someone stealing TV broadcasts, at the same token, recognize that in some measure they are exercizing their own Declaration of Independence Right to Revolt, upon which this nation was founded.
I've worked at two places where something like Zigbee would have helped. One is monitoring energy consumption, and the other, soda consumption. It wouldn't need that much bandwidth to get out power readings or vending machine sales, but, getting the network out into the field was a huge challenge. There's plenty of places where even POTS lines aren't run.
Love them or hate them for all the other stuff they do, and the perenielly evil Orin Hatch aside, there's no doubt Republicans will snooze through any entertainment industry lobbyists.
In this last election, both the film and recording industries had their artists running around the country telling everyone that they thought Republican sucked for being the party of the rich. Now, they are crawling to Washington begging Republicans to save them from a bunch of punks stealing their songs? I see ZERO chance of them getting any sympathetic ear.
Can you imagine Michael Moore complaining before congress that teenagers were bit torrenting copies of F9/11, cutting into his profits? How about Bruce Springstein up on the hill, lamenting how sales of his music for working man got cut down by, um, the working man?
...that I've read in weeks. Sadly, I used my moderator points somewhere else before I got to this. Hopefully someone else will do the obvious and mod it up.
IBM and Sun are hanging in the workstation business because they are making CPUs still. IBM's POWER architecture is thriving, especially with Mac and soon XBox variants giving them mass market reach. Sun, well, I don't know how they do it.
France and Germany are arguing that democracy is not for everyone, that a nation's sovereign rights preclude the introduction of a democracy. So let's agree with them and hop into bed with Russia.
There was never going to be a notion of a surrender or a settlement with Russia. That's just not the way that Stalin operated. Having made one deal with Hitler and had it broken, there was no way he would even contemplate making another one.

So I guess it goes to say that my GTO of the future will prefer the high fat diet!
I wonder how much food a car would have to eat to get 350hp, 390ft/lbs of torque. There are reasons gasoline is such a great energy source.

I've yet to see a web application as good as a comparable client application.
Let's understand one thing. Rape is not a sex act, it is an act of violence and aggression and control. It is a physical power thing, not a sex thing.
You can always choose a different movie with different actors in it, that has less DRM.
When we are mining asteroids, we'll need something like the shuttle to land loot on the earth. Don't laugh. Rocket costs are falling to where a 50,000 lb cargo of gold and platinum could pay for the mission.
Since when does a daily newspaper cost 25 cents? Most are at least 50 cents if not a dollar.

Then shouldn't it be unlinked from any ideology and be allowed to be free. If users want to run it on Windows, why not?
