I think the point was that the site shouldn't be so gagged up with 'art' that it loads slowly or not at all. Just because someone sees themselves as an artist (as I do) doesn't mean that their client's or company's web site should become their personal statement or portfolio.

750 million is only a drop in the bucket, but it does add up eventually.
You know, 750 million here, 750 million there, it all adds up and soon you're talking about real money.

True, however Agatha states he can change the future because he knows what will happen just before Anderson enters the hotel room.
That seems to be more a statement of belief (or hope?) rather than fact. Since Agatha does not 'see' an alternate ending she doesn't know that he can change destiny for certain. Even if she knows for certain that he can change 'destiny' doesn't mean that she can link foreknowledge as the sole differential.

Yep. Easy to miss sarcasm in the written word when you can't hear inflection. But I still refuse to use emoticons.
You misunderstand my use of the term cost. In their economy world opinion doesn't matter. Anyone who doesn't agree that what they did was a good thing just isn't a *real* muslim and their opinion is disregarded. It's also quite likely that they only lost public support in certain circles but still receive plenty of genuine support - money, food, shelter, etc. The organization doesn't matter. The Taliban doesn't matter. Their personal comfort doesn't matter. Only the cause matters. When you're doing your accounting like that there's very little in the loss column. To you and I, loss of life would be a big negative, but the cause was enough to motivate several men to willingly sacrifice their lives so that even their deaths do not fall in the losses column.

Does he shoot in cold blood? If not what the precogs saw is wrong; right?
Isn't that what the movie tries to point out - That the precogs could be wrong?
As far as how the shooting goes down, it's pretty fragmented and certainly leads one to believe that it happens as you saw it, but you may be right. I probably won't go see them movie again just to verify this one item. Still, if that's not how it happens (and it certainly happens after the clock runs out), the precogs are wrong. If the protagonist can decide to change the outcome it doesn't necessarily follow that it's simply because he knew ahead of time. I could have full intentions of killing someone and stop just short of plunging the scissors into my victim(s). Should that trigger the precogs? The guy who wanted to kill his boss in VR had no intention of doing it in actuality, so that's an altogether different situation.
This is a complete non-issue. There are no critical systems connected to the Internet. (Any that are need to have their plugs yanked and their admins fired, even if we weren't in the middle of an undeclared war.)

Yep. They didn't have to spend billions to acquire an airforce (which would have been tracked on radar and shot down before they ever got close to shore). They managed to do significant damage utilizing our own resources at minimal cost to themselves. Pretty stupid, huh?

They are patient.
Excellent post.
We tend to be an impatient society, microwaves, fast food, etc. and we tend to project whatever we are on others. The problem is that many other cultures are vastly different than our own. This was one of the mistakes we made in the Vietnam era. When we went to Paris to negotiate with the Viet Cong we rented hotel rooms. They bought a villa. They were in it for the long-haul while we hoped (as always) for a quick solution.
Desert Storm was a "good" war for the American people. We saw results early on, it didn't last long and there were few American casualties. The current conflict is wearing on an impatient public because we can't see the bad guys backing out of a country they'd overrun or other visible results. Soon it will be a "whole year" since the attack and we don't have everything tied up in a nice package with a bow on it.
The worst thing we can do is underestimate the resolve of these organizations. This is not a new conflict. It is centuries old. We are merely new players or more accurately our role has recently changed. Early on we heard that there will be more attacks. We have heard that warning repeated. Since Sept. 11 we've had a guy try to light his shoes up and a few other minor incidents. Most Americans seem to feel that this is a case of the boy who cried "wolf!" and don't really understand that there actually will be more attacks. Part of this is also the result of the govt. to grab as much additional power as they can under the guise of patriotism and homeland security, but the bulk of it is because of our cultural biases.
