Given that this is an article about the death
of a famous mathmetician, I find it ironic
that the headline reads "Shannon dead at
85" but the linked article reads
"Shannon dead at 84" We could at least get
the number of years in his age correct!!!!
If freedom in America is a "myth" please point
to a country where it is not, so I can move there. I think we have it pretty good here. And so do the millions of people around the world on our immigration waiting lists including China and whatever non-imperialistic super-free country you're originally from. And promise me one thing since you don't like the US so much: if you are here now, leave. (And take our flag burners with you.) And if you are not here now, promise you will never come for a visit. Ever! You obviously would want to spend your time in all those wealthier, non-imperialist countries where freedom is not a myth.
Did you all notice the picture of the plaque that
was included on Pioneer 10?
Click here if you missed it.
Very Euro-centric drawings of humans don't you
think? The guy looks like an insurance salesman from Iowa.
I just hope the aliens don't land in
China or Africa and think they must have made a wrong turn two light-years back.;-)
You shouldn't. And neither should I subsidize you through marriage penalty in the tax code.
And while we're making everything fair, lets eliminate progressive taxation. Everyone should have the same percentage of their salary taken in taxes. One tax bracket for everyone regardless of income. Even if you only earn a single dollar, you still get taxed the same percentage as someone earning $100K. That's fair, isn't it? It ensures that every worker has a stake in the cost of providing government benefits. No more freeloaders!!!
Actually, I'd settle for on-site day care that I would pay for just for the convenience. Or better yet, a reduction in the tax burden so that a single decent salary can afford a comfortable living for a family of four.
The tips were found in whales caught by the native Alaskans. They are permitted to catch a few every year under the protection act which governs the preservation of this whale species.
I believe it was a 20th century invention. I can't imagine the New York city skyline without it. High-rises wouldn't exist and urban sprawl would have engulfed the planet. (A bit of hyperbole, but what the heck.)
Given that there are many "competing" distributions and a concentration of vendors writing/porting code to Linux, does it not seem that a shakeout of the distributions is inevitable. Or at least a more rigorous standard as to what defines a proper Linux distribution. If you are a for-profit company, won't you pick the winning (or at most 2 winning) distributions and forgo the rest?
This is the last one. No, wait. THIS is the last one. No, wait. I really mean it now. Number 9. This will absolutely, positively by the final Final Fantasy.
7-11 is owned by a Japanese corporation. In fact Forbes Magazine had an article (April 3rd,2000 p. 53) about 7-11's Internet related strategy of being a pick-up spot for on-line purchased merchandise. The theory being that it's easier than having to stay at home. Note in the Playstation article how people can drop of the defective merchandise at a 7-11. That may seem odd to us in the USA, but it is common in Japan. 7-11 plans to roll this pick-up/drop-off service out in the US soon.
Personally, I don't mind purchase tracking that much. If the junk mail I receive becomes more meaningful because someone is figuring out what my interests are based upon my prior purchases, that's fine by me.
I'd rather receive more targetted mail. If less mail is sent to me, then I'm helping the environment.
I really don't think any of my purchase data will come back to haunt me. At least I don't expect to testify before congress because of it anyway.....
"Yes, Senator. It's true. I do prefer Ranch flavored Doritos over regular."
(Everyone begin typing your "How naive of you" flame now...;-)
I believe this is just a cover up. They have already lost control of the craft and they know it. They just don't want another embarassment after the Mars explorer fiasco. "Galileo crashed on Jupiter? Uh, yeah, we meant to do that...."

What does one call a sequel to a prequel??

I mean, please! "DynaSoar" sounds too much like Dinosaur to me. Is this site a joke?

My first thought when hearing of the Microsoft/Ralph Reed connection:
"When you have more money than God..."

In that case, George should only get half of the money....
