And now write it in such a way that the poor sod who gets to maintain your program 3 years from now can tell what is going on because you didn't include any comments;-)
There may be a fast way, but is it as easy to undertsand as the slow way?
It's interesting that the Feds were apparently TOLD by somebody that someone in Florida was selling moon rocks. You'd have thought they might have gone to google and done a search on "moon rocks for sale" and found them for themselves.
Also interesting that the site that offered them was actually via the small ads on the homepage of the Mineralogy Club of Antwerp, Belgium. Seems he was trying to sell them outside the USA.
... I guess I was not alone when, after a while of palkying tetris before going to bed, you'd lie there with your eyes shut and still see the pieces falling... and you'd still never get that last long piece to complete a Tetris!
Nice idea - exept that the existing public transport infrastructure can barely cope with the number of peple it is currently carrying, let alone all the ex-car-drivers they are trying to attract onto it. Perhaps fewer people would drive if there was a decent alternative!
All the answers so far seem to involve some sort of capture mechanism to absorb the debris which limits the lifetime of the capturing device (unless we orbit a mini-blackhole?). Would it be more efficient to deflect the debris out of orbit, either into space and away, or into the atmosphere so it burnt up safely? Perhaps by attaching a ginat space plow to the shuttle and gettingt eh guys to cruise around for a while?:-)
Just look at some of the negative reactions from Star Wars fans to the prequels...
But that was because the acting, script and plot were so awful. I think this was the reason that Doctor Who started to fade as well. The writers began writing down to children whereas before they seemed to write for a more mature audience.
From readingt eharticle, there seems to be very little evidence that intelligence was involved. What did breaking out of the paddock involve? Walking into the gate and having it swing open? How did it get out of the building? Did it find it's way, or could it just have "random-walked" its way out of the building and into the car park?
I remember playing with a toy that would change direction by 45 degrees or so whan it hit an object. It was also quite adept at finding it sway out of rooms, but there was no intelligence involved there.
Part three The Matrix Revolutions is also in production and will be released in December 2000
Can I assume that Matrix Revolutions is actually a prequel and they decided to go one better than Star Wars by building a time machine so they could show them in the correct order?
Isn't it also interesting the perfromance that Scorsese gets from his actors working in an environment that recreates the whole feel of the scene, and the "performance" that Lucas gets from his actors working in front of a blue screen.
When for the same sort of price you cna get a Mega Joy II based on the old Famicom - so better graphics - and contains 60 games (although not all are worth playing!).
Try the following translator instead of Babelfish. I think it gives a more readable result, especially as it keeps the paragraph formatting.

WHy confine it to suits. Let's paint all those big ugly Walmart bricks with it, flick and switch and whammo - no more blot on the landscape!
or somebody living in the south sea islands could make a fortune just piping the view from his window to a million LCD-painted windows in the big city!
Or paint it on your body, project your X-ray scans etc and get an instand view into your own internals:-)
Or does everyone look forward to every channel running PBS-like pledge drives?
Let's see. Average amount of adverts per program in the US maybe 10 minutes per hour? Per year, that equals 87600 minutes of adverts.
Avergae pledge-a-thon lasts for a day and, "off my head sounds about right figure", say contains about 5 hours of begging. That equals 300 minutes of "adverts" per pledge-a-thon. SO we'd need 290 pledge-a-thons a year to equal the amount of advertising the other channels push down your throat.

People on special interests lists and chat rooms don't mind being pitched on subjects they're interested in. They don't consider it spam. What they hate is being bombarded with messages for things they don't care about, which is what traditional media does.
So this thinly disguised advert for your book about dogs is right on topic for this special interest list? How can you tell us about your "bottom-up, Net-based marekting experiment" when as part of it you're spamming this list to sell your book just like those guys that you're bashing in the quote above?

Is the US still actually a member of the UN? I thought their representative just went along to the meetings for the free cookies!
. Is a play button too much to ask?
There is a PLAY buton in the drop down menu (right click). You can't set it to be in STOP by default though.
How can you tell that your government is doing something to combat terrorism unless they pass draconian new laws to show they are doing something?

"That's why asian chicks dig american men."
Presumably because they like small-minded men?
But that was because the acting, script and plot were so awful. I think this was the reason that Doctor Who started to fade as well. The writers began writing down to children whereas before they seemed to write for a more mature audience.
And please, no American Doctor Who !!!!!!
Just like Enron's and Worldcom's financial statements were published for everyone to see?
But if your bowser suddenly stops working with half the internet, do you change you chnage the internet or your browser? (hint: see Netscape ;-)
If I'm using a P2P system in Europe how can American law be justified in destroying my access to the system?

Nope, it's the current staffing level at Samsung
