Wow, if you're one of those peer reviewers, no wonder so much crap gets published today. Your close mindedness is impressive. Next time you wish to call someone an idiot, go look in the mirror.
Anyone think of the MASS involved here? Or the EFFORT? Not to mention the strip mining of the planet!!
At least they're finally starting to recognize that global warming comes from the sun, that it's not man made and that NOTHING done here on earth is going to change it. I'd like to see some serious research to determine if it's even going to be a bad thing, we had the middle ages warming period that was rather beneficial for the earth, something along those lines would be good for us, not bad.
The only thing he didn't have was uranium. And as we know from Joe Wilson's testimony he was working very hard on getting -that-. We know he had the know how, most of the equipment, and deals to buy anything else he didn't have from the French, Germans, and Russians. We know from all the investigations that he could have reconstituted his program completely in about a year (maybe less) after the sanctions were dropped.
The only one here that doesn't get it, is you. You let your hatred of one man (Bush) blind you to the facts and reality.
Do -you- get it now? Some how I doubt it, your type never does.
According to notes of Chinese explorers who sailed ships through the area. The world didn't end then, and it won't end now. This is natural folks, stop reading all that stupid junk science.
No, it's a legal alias, but he has to get an actual -ID- showing it before he can get them to cooperate. Thing is, originally you were allowed to use Aliases, as long as you paid under a legal name. He did that. They're no longer accepting that however.
A friend of mine went through something like this. He registered his domains under his internet nickname, but paid under his real name. Now they won't allow him to do anything unless he comes up with a legal ID that has his nickname on it. They don't care that he was paying with his legal name for the last X years.
So he's waiting for the domain to expire so he can pick it up under his real name. The registar (godaddy) refuses to help at all and he feels a lawyer is a waste of money. So for now he's stuck waiting because godaddy puts all expired domains up for auction for a period of days (registars should NOT be allowed to auction expired domains, conflict of interest - especially when they're causing the expiration).
I suspect many of the people out there who are currently parking domains and putting them up for auction are probably the registars, because it doesn't appear that they have to pay to register open domains, so why not speculate if it's free?
I'm not so sure that the new system is cheaper or easier than the old one. Back in the old days at least a phone call always could clear up any problems.
This is one of the greatest things about America, if you look around you can probably find what you want somewhere else in the country. Part of this is because the Federal Government really isn't as strong as people think it is, and our perception of it tends to change with each President.
Second life (to me at least) just seems like another MUD/MUCK, only with a lot less creativity. Almost all the icons are made by a small group of people and you have to buy one (because most of us don't have that much artistic talent to make something that looks good), a lot of the actions you do are programs that you or someone else probably bought (because too many people don't want to learn another language, or programming).
I've watched people play with Second Life, and I see them always clicking on lots of actions, and clicking on lots of poses, etc etc etc. It seems to me that a large percentage of interaction and behavior in Second Life is made up of canned actions and behaviors. Which is to say: not very creative. Yes you have a pretty interface and we all know how a lot of people can't resist pretty pictures on a screen, but content-wise I think it tends to be pretty vapid.
Except of course for the people who make a lot of money off of it, (and I know more than one bringing home several hundred dollars of real cash per month from sales to the other users). To them I'm sure it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, and I guess from their point of view they're right. But I just don't find it to be very interesting or entertaining.
I have to disagree with you on all counts. I check my systems regularly, of course my systems are pretty iron clad at this point, mainly because having one of the older domains on the internet hacking attempts occur almost hourly on my system. If you're going to have a windows box attached to the internet, and you're not keeping an eye out for attacts, then you should at least be running some sort of virus protection on a daily basis. I have my destop system buried behind multiple layers and I still check its traffic daily and run regular virus, spyware, and adware checks on it.
If you're going to run on the information super highway, you need to take at the very least the basic precautions. Otherwise you're as guilty as the dog owner who lets his dog run wild in the neighborhood cause he didn't bother building a fence. And just as guilty.
I'm not talking about the good owners after all, I'm talking about the bad ones. Which on the internet is a rather large number. Otherwise there would be no financial incentive for spammers in the first place, correct? And the Botnets would be small or non-existant, right?
Unitl people are punished for their system's behavior, nothing is ever going to happen. Yeah it's annoying for most people to get rooted, but other than that, why should they care? Now if you were legally liable for the damages your system did, regardless of whether or not it was rooted, we'd see a major change in botnets, and a LOT less people with rooted machines.
People only react to that which causes them difficulty, punish them for not taking care of their responsibilities and things will get better. But until then, it will only get worse.
You're part of a botnet? Pay a fine! Didn't know? Too bad. Just like your dog getting out and destroying property, if you don't care enough to protect others from your wanton disregard, it's going to cost you.
No. What I'm saying is that Conservative shows aren't allowed on the air under the 'Fairness' Doctrine. The 'Fairness Doctrine' was never about being fair, it was about censorship. There are still more leftwing shows on the radio than right wing (NPR), and the leftwing ones are financed with public money and given government support.
And I'm not even getting into Television where 99 percent of everything is left wing. All during the time of the 'Fairness doctrine' the right NEVER got a chance to speak, and now you want to come along and offer 'equal time' to people who already control the majority of the media?
Will you put Rush on TV for 3 hours a day to counter 'Good Morning America', Katie Couric on the CBS News, etc? No, of course you won't.
As for the 'conservative media being held accountable' I see them held accountable all the time, it's the left wing media that gets a free ride. Just look at Air America and all the money they stole, now they're in Chapt 11, yet Soro's is funneling money through a front operation to save them. Where's your left wing accountability?
Before the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine, businesses worked just fine while including multiple viewpoints.
What? You have got to be kidding me! There were no 'conservative' shows on national radio anywhere during the reign of the Fairness Doctrine. Nor were there on TV. Even the few local shows that existed were pretty reigned in. Notice that right after it was repealed Conservative talk radio showes were finally allowed and how quickly they florished.
All the 'Fairness doctrine' ever did was censor speech that many people wanted to hear.
Why do they do it? Because people like you make statements like this:
After all the only people that benefit from the war in Iraq are the large stockholders that own Boeing, Haliburton and the likes.
A totally fictional and completely bogus statement. Yet I'm sure you believe it to be true not realizing you've been lied to. You think it's all about people making money, it's not.
I would suggest you do some independent investigation, maybe start off by reading 'The road to Serfdom'. There is a large gap in your education apparently when it comes to conservatives.
Slashdot Mirror
The Canon XTi costs 345 for the body. Not 1000 dollars. It has everything you mentioned.
I just bought a new Canon XTi like one HOUR before this article got published here. So now I'm afraid to go read it and find out what I screwed up!

Drat you slashdot!!!

You forgot one other question: Is global warming bad for us or good?
Make it past the editors here at slashdot?

Enough with the Junk Science already though!

You're funny :-) I like how you ignore everything just to keep your point of view.
Either it is, or it isn't. Can't be both.
Watching people like you do mental gymnastics rather than face reality is one of my favorite pastimes.
So you're saying that this isn't proof that Saddam had the ability to build a bomb in less than a year.
BUT you're saying that it is instructions for someone ELSE to build a bomb within a year.
Ummm, I suggest you stop letting your politics interfere with your reasoning. Either one statement is true, or the other is true. Both cannot be true.
And if the first is true, then I guess Bush was right for invading after all?
Mod up! Good point.

Notice also that all the ones who said they'd leave didn't.
Why is it the people who say they're going to leave never keep their promise to us?

Parent is quite correct.
