more likely they will be using anything from 4gb - 64gb chips (Samsung announced 25/10/07)
If they are shooting for video editing only that price would be right, but the enthusiast & business market will IMO want something under $2000. TFA suggests business application.
"Legal seizures turned up actual evidence of other actual crimes, visa fraud, which are directly related to the lesser crimes of (probable) actual terrorists."
That is false. The visa fraud charge is direcly related to his participation in the IANA website, since he recieved a stipend for his work (on the order of $100 IIRC). Participation in the IANA website was the sole activity that caused him to be charged with providing material support.
That is not quite correct. However charge of visa fraud were based on his participation in the website in question "the Islamic Assembly of North America" and him recieving a stipend (money, hence work) while on a *student* visa.
The "making false statements" are based on affadavits provided with visa applications that he did not work while he was in the US.
There was a hung jury on 8 counts related to his visa fraud charge... so he may still escape deportation. However, since his wife and child already went back to Saudi Arabia it doesn't look like he'll stay.
The charges were "Providing Material Support to Terrorists", he was also acquitted of 2 counts of visa fraud, 1 count of making false statements... but there was a hung jury on 8 other charges that could probably get him deported.
Considering that they successfully deported his wife and child BEFORE the trial began AND the defense only got all of the evidence they needed WEEKS before the trial began they did a fine job.
I've been following this in the Idaho and Spokane papers for a while.
by the way, I am a Washington State University alumnus. When I left Sami was part way through his graduate studies. Proof? I know his graduate studies advisor was Dr. D*****h F*****e.
Please note these opinions are my own. I do not represent anyone else who may have known Sami. When he was arrested it his us like a ton of bricks, and I knew the new McCarthyism was upon us.
Uh, most of the stuff I see in tha freeper article is PURE LIBEL.
I did not know Sami personally but I was aware of his living conditions. By all appearances he DID NOT import 100's of thousands. IIRC he lived in average to low quality student appartments (like most students) and didn't have any evidences of being outstandingly rich. Even if he imported any serious amount of money it would have to be declared with customs.
Of the Mulslim students I knew of he was not one of the scary ones. There were a few who I met and talked to.
At a time when we had dozens and dozens of Saudi and middle-eastern students fleeing the country Sami stayed. What thanks he got. Trumped up charges (helped setup a website and real audio stream) and got the book thrown at him (still 8 counts of visa fraud & related charges that could get him deported).
The DoJ's case was such a joke. Fabricated evidence like the mistranslations (was it Arab Lybian Project or Arab Library Project?? even the CIA couldn't keep the translation consistent!) clearly showed that the government's case was weak from the start.
Of the Dragonlance series only the first book is completely void of ethical or social issues.
It's not a great treatise on the superiority of lifestyle X or belief system Y but it's much more than "find the dragon orbs and kill the dragon dudes".
Sounds like you barely made it through "Dragons of Autumn Twilight".
And let's get one thing straight: "Magic Kingdom for Sale/Sold" is escapist. The "Narnia" series is escapist. "Dragon Lance" is an epic that develops multiple plot lines that can be read in any order based on what books you read after the first 3 (Chronicles). Name one other serial novel with that feature.
I'm glad they're picking the "classics" rather than the books and characters I enjoyed. After they pushed out a stillborn and half-finished "Riverworld" I lost much faith in SciFi's studio cred. They're just speculating on a series by producing the first 1/4 to 1/6 of what the show should be in the hopes of getting a larger Nielsen share. Then MAYBE if they get the ratings they want they'll produce the ending to the series. We might see the ending of "Battlestar", but it's hopeless for "Riverworld". They can bolox-up "Earthsea" all the want, and don't expect to see the ending.
Besides... they'd never get Angelina Jolie to play Tika.
With the public school system as it is in many places I'm not suprised that such an answer would get you high marks.
We were always told that abiogenesis was impossible and that the Miller experiment failed to show that it was possible to create life from a basic "primordial soup".

generational storage pools to assist with write-leveling perhaps?

I'd take one for my gaming laptop. I could live with something as small as 200 gigs, but if they're going to give me 4x that much I'll take it!

5-digit newbie posting in epic thread!
That makes sense, I hadn't been in Pullman/Moscow for about a year when it happened.
unless of course you can find something like court documents saying otherwise...
none of that has been reported
please... read up. There are 8 charges that the jury did not come to a verdict on. A mistrial was declared on those charges.

Being a Muslim is and should always be legal in this country.

Casshan seems to be a classic anime fan litmus-test. Congrats on being the first one to post the relevant info.... Oh for moderator points.

It is litteral escapism.
As well as symbolic escapism as IMHO any christian mythology is.
Ok
Narnia: kids walk through a wardrobe into a fantasy land.
MKFS/S: guy follows up on a classified ad and becomes the king of a fantasy land.
Dragonlance has no such infantile segue from reality to fantisy. What criteria do you use to categorize a book/series as escapist?

yes... there are probably many schools in the US doing this...
In fact I took an Information Warfare class and one of the options for a final project was virus writing.
Juno Reactor collaborated with Don Davis on "the Burly Brawl" where Smith fights Neo
Don Davis did the rest of it.
I personally disagree with all of you. The fusion of electronica and classical music was brilliant and appropriate to many of the scenes...
of course I listened to the score 2-3 times before I saw the movie so maybe I'm biased.
A real philosopher would know the theories the W. bros are building on and be able to spoil the NEXT movie for everyone....
Outside of my cowerkers noone's mentioned the philosophically obvious next step.
Miller had faked his results (ha!), etc.
:D
Grew up in the south?

but well... ingo isn't such a "douchbag"
the latest OpenBSD release has the same feature... called W^X (W xor X)
wow... I don't believe it... who would stoop so low as to use such underhanded tactics to get back at someone's exercising their right to free speech
