You do realize that 8 million isn't really that large of a number, right? The US has somewhere in the number of 300million people at this point. Assuming that it's individual people and that it's once per person, that's still only 2.6% of the populace.
That's over 1 in 50 people in the USA. That's close to the population of Virginia (7,769,089 as of July 1, 2008). That's also close to the population of Baltimore and Washington DC combined (7,608,070 in 2000). This is by no means a small number of people.
Mod parent up. It is ALL about whether or not the 'bad thing' can be prevented from occurring again.
That's where the death penalty comes in. Dead men commit no crimes.
I could see the jury thinking that since there is something wrong with his brain, the likelihood of rehabilitation is low, and hence they would lean more towards the death penalty than against.
The initial stated reason for the latest invasion of Iraq was that there was a stockpile of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq that was a threat to the USA, the common good, and puppies... douche bag
How about a space elevator project? Arthur C Clarke said we would build one roughly 50 years after we stopped laughing at teh concept. Well, the laughing seems to have died down.
Ha ha ha he he he ho ha ha he he *wheeze* *wheeze*
I am just glad I was not riding in that simulator. Did anyone else notice the separation, and the flight path of the (in the future to be occupied) simulator? The booster and the simulator appeared to tumble after separation. It could have been the camera angle I suppose, but that front section should have continued on, correct?
The stage that they are using a simulator for is not designed yet, and hence would be quite dangerous to ride. Why would someone assume that it would be remotely safe? It's called a simulator for a reason. It's pretty much just ballast.
When I run out of days on my calendar, I usually just buy a new one. It would certainly make new years parties more interesting if every new year was a potential end of days scenario though.
I think older kids should be involved in teaching younger kids and also take part in supporting after school programs.
As long as it's on a volunteer basis, otherwise you essentially have forced child labour.
As a tangential point, in Ontario, Canada, a requirement for graduation is a certain number of "volunteer" hours of service. Once you make this sort of thing mandatory it is no longer on a volunteer basis. If the politicians that dreamt this up were honest, they would just call it community service.

If he killed you he would be countermanding the no lone policy. Your buddy would risk being shot by the next pair of people to show up.
Inconceivable!
I can see the rebuttal now...
Chewbacca is also different, ergo must also be killed. The Ewoks are especially different and extra attention must be paid to their destruction.
Nor did you read the title of this article, it seems.
Stupid giant ninja's always starting things.
I'd rather have the rotor still spinning, causing drag that slows my descent. See autorotation for a description of this phenomenon.
It would be more amusing if they worked like the guns on WWII era fighters that were timed to shoot through the rotating propeller's arc.
Actually, it is extortion. There is no service being offered, just a statement that says "Do as we say, or we will make your life unpleasant".

Look to your left. Look to your right.
Stuck in the middle with you.

That's your mass. It should be around 746 N on the surface of the earth.
you're thinking of iran, not iraq numbnuts.

There is no stopping Iran from getting a nuke, they need it to help bring back the Mahdi and well, y'know, there are still some undead Jews.
I don't care what the religion of the undead horde is. Zombies, skeletons, vampires, etc. all deserve a good nuking.
Wow, and I thought the LOTR movies were long.
I think he was posting perceived time.

Kudos to Microsoft for helping. Heck, I would accept help from Satan himself, if it reduce the spam and online crime.
Dealing with Satan has a rather high cost. Ask Faust all about it.

Why cant we do this to politicos and lawyers then?
For politicos, it's because they would need a brain to attach the electrodes to.
