It's obvious now that the government not only knows that aliens exist, but that it also knows they are large, rotund, crimson and warlike - and they're on their way!!!
And even then the quotation is based on an earlier proverb and there are earlier printed versions of it e.g. "Falsehood flies, and the truth comes limping after it" Jonathan Swift, The Examiner, 9 Nov. 1710 or "Falsehood will fly from Maine to Georgia, while truth is pulling her boots on", Portland (Me.) Gazette, 5 Sept 1820
My mates and I are still mystified how they went about picking hosts. We work at a large international technology-based establishment with 500+ people,. most of whom are technically inclined. Across the way we have a sister establishment with 700+ people of a similar nature. That's 1200+ software geeks and nobody got picked to host a Windows 7 party despite plenty of us applying. Pretty lame marketing....
His Martian Odyssey tale was one of the first to introduce a sympathetic but entirely inhuman alien.
It would be really cool...

...if they took this Stargate theme and made a movie about it. Maybe one where archaeologists first uncover a timegate and they use it to travel to a distant planet where it seem the Ancient Egyptians still live but with weird alien technology... wouldn't that be cool... ?
Hmmm...which is worse? "Total surveillance societies like Great Britain" where the people know they are under surveillance as opposed to total surveillance societies like the USA where the people don't know they are under surveillance?
Well, on one side you have a county of war-mongering, religious fanatics and on the other side you have a country of war-mongering, religious fanatics.

"Dad, I think I broke my ankle."
"Stop yer whining, boy. When my appendix burst I didn't even have a penknife to cut that sucker out. I had to gnaw through my abdominal wall and rip it out with my bare teeth, then staple the hole closed using my own toe-nail clippings. So you just shove that there bone back inside the skin where it belongs and stick some mud on it... that'll do yer..."
A lot of games on portable devices are something you might play for a few minutes to pass the time waiting for a bus, etc. If you have to wait 30 seconds for a game to start, then that's a sizeable percentage of the playing time which is ridiculous. It's even more annoying than all those trailers/adverts/previews/etc. you have to sit through at the cinema or the film preview you used to be forced to sit through on certain DVDs. And once you've seen the ad once, you're not going to watch it again for 30 seconds. If you have to advertise, put up an advertising splash screen for a few seconds with the option of the user pushing a button to exit the screen sooner.
Yeah, but just like fingerprint detectors that was so easily fooled by using a latex cast of the person's face over your own... have you never seen Mission Impossible?
In the UK, Polytechnics used to give a more practical, hands-on training vocational training but after the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 they all became called Universities, although in many respects they are the same institutes offering the same courses...
The ideas and principles that most religions are based on are sound and sane.
No they aren't. The ideas are pretty much all in fantasy land - dead people coming to back life, all-knowing, all-seeing mega-beings demanding we worship them, miracles being performed, etc., etc. etc. No sound or sane ideas there.
And principles...
When you look at the ideals of a few world religions (christianity, islam, judaism, buddhism, hinduism...), you'll notice that they all somehow focus on an attempt to get society to work well together. They all follow a more or less common moral standard: Don't steal. Don't kill. Don't lie. Try to live a "good" life and do "good" things. They promise rewards in the afterlife for this, which might be a bit too mystical for the secular mind of this time, but in general the intention behind it isn't so bad.
Nope, don't see that at all. For a start you're picking only them more moderate philosophies from the religious books and ignoring all the other, more extreme items - killing witches, killing adulterers, killing homosexuals, killing non-believers, etc. etc.... and those are just the teachings of the bible. Religions are there to concentrate power in the hands of a few individuals and keep the masses in their place whether they be cults or major religions. They'll sell them to you as way to live your life better but that's not what they were created for...

It's a rather radical solution.

OK what costs? Scanning/turning into an e-book? I'd bet that the vast majority of the offered titles are the same as they offer in the US
All those extra U's in the UK English version don't come for free you know!
Train vs. car has major problems in that once you are there, you need your car to get around.
If there was more demand for hire cars, they would get cheaper.
And there's no reason not to have trains that you can drive on to and drive off so you could take your car with you.
What if this is to prevent labels from dumping crud into the iTunes store
Have you heard the pop charts recently ?

I hope they can work out the kinks.
Buddy, you are the kink! ;-)
