Oh yes, I hate emails from e-illiterates. Advertising people are probably the worst, especially advertising people writing in a foreign, for them, language.
You can bet Shell, BP and every energy company out there would be buildng cold fusion reactors. If the science was feasible. They don't believe it is. The private sector has spoken.
I love the "lots of people thought it crazy" or "They called Galileo mad as well" argument.
The logic behind is:
A) Long ago - thing (person) that was called crazy turns out to be not-so-crazy.
B) My thing (or me) is being called crazy.
C) Therefore on the basis of A), my thing (or me) is not crazy.
Unfortunately the logic collapses because not everything that was called crazy (in fact the enormous majority turned out otherwise ) turned out not to be crazy.
The most you can use the "they called it crazy too" argument for is to comfort yourself while persevering away in your shed trying to prove the stuffy men of science wrong.
They are using wireless communications and unshielded electronics near suspected bomb devices. Bombs that are set off wirelessly.
A more serious concern is their DIY approach to bomb disposal. Do they really want to risk death or courtmartial for DIY? If they see a suspect device, then they should call the professionals in.
I wander what all the 'hunters' that like to be in 'contact with their environment', 'hone' the skills necessary to keep their families fed (?) and keep animal populations 'viable' , will say about the honter who decided to FPS with real people and bullets just the other day.
There's an excellent drum & bass song called "Original Nuttah". Not sure why I mentioned that.
Oh yeah, everybody knows that Oliver Stone is a shape-shifting reptillian half-brother of JFK who is alive and still working as Arafat's Mossad controller.
For my next trick, I'll pull an UFO out of my arse.
The foundations are examinable (i.e. the Bible or what Rev. Loadsacash said last week) - unfortunately they're circular and self-contradictory and mistake axioms for facts. This is what makes them noxious.
- If you zoom in on a photo of a person, you can find a reflection in their eye. Zoom in on the reflection, and you can see facial features on the people standing behind the photographer. I've actually experienced that Blade Runner effect (remember the scene where Deckard takes a photo and zooms around infinitely on it...). I took a very high quality digital picture of a friend of mine in the sun and then played around with it on my comp. I zoomed on his eye and actually saw my reflection - holding a camera.
A high quality analogue camera with good optics would give an even better effect.
Good excuse for aliens to civilize us

You know what - all the pleasures you have described can be felt by going for a bicycle ride through the countryside, snowboarding or if you really feel like spend thousands of bucks on equipment AND want to stalk something, by playing paintball.
Admit it, you just love running around with a gun in your hand and being able to kill something.
Makes you feel like a real man.
If you really wanted to honor the animal (pause for laugher MAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA), you should run naked after it with your bare hands - a match of equals. Instead you have your 10x telescopic sight on your sniper quality hunting rifle, synthetic camo clothing and a SUV.
Go play with your 1:25 scale authentic Gettysburg replica hand-crafted soldiers. They're not toys, so its okay.
Enterprise is viewed as a failure because it is an abomination that only gets higher ratings because there are more viewers on its network and trekkies would eat treeble shit if it was labelled "Star Trek". Enterprise is a failure compared to TNG.
Stargate on the other hand does not have almost forty years of fandom and generations of geeks propping up its numbers. Stargate is a success because its not built on the back of a franchise.
if the interviewees were capable of making coherent replies to the questions asked. I was expecting them to switch to 1337 at any moment. The WoW interview was the more painful, a sentence would contradict the one before and after it.
This is not a flame or troll, RTFA. There's valuable information in the interviews but these gamers lack the ability to express themselves and transmit the information...
An end screen says February 9... so they speculate it means Halo 3 February 9 2006. Except no game company ever gives such an exact date years in advance. They know that deadlines slip and change.
Another bit of "evidence" is the Halo 2 soundtrack being labelled vol. 1. Which means that Halo 3 is coming out because there has to be a vol. 2 which has to have Halo 3 music. I could poke holes in that but I think you'll do fine by yourselves.
Oh yeah, Tupac is coming back in 2003, exactly 7 years after his death.
February 9 could mean additional content for Halo 2 in 2005 or could mean a wonderful new game coming out then...
I find the many moderated comments concerning the spammers imminent ass-rape to be offensive.
Nobody deserves to be sexually abused. If you find torture exciting or a 'fitting' punishment, then you're a sadist.
Another thing to note is that he's not going to get gangbanged. Spamming is a non-violent crime. He'll get sent to a low-medium security prison.He's rich and that means he's protected in prison. All he has to do is pay the big man (if there is one at the country-club prison he goes to) a $100,000 a year and his ass will be protected 24/7/365. If there is no big man, he can buy himself a bodyguard or five.
And he'll get parole in 4 years unless he really misbehaves in prison.
He'll probably spend the next 4 years bored and wondering exactly how many ho's he'll bang and how many lines of coke he'll do, once he gets out. He'll probably be able to purchase both sex and drugs doing his time behind bars.
Slashdot Mirror
Apple filed for the trademark on 24 October 2000. This is before he filed for the domain - Nov. 7 2000.
q ue sted=C&trademark=2249936
http://webdb4.patent.gov.uk/tm/number?detailsre
A trademark is registered as of the date of filing under 40 (3) of the UK Trademark Act.
http://www.patent.gov.uk/tm/legal/tmact94.pdf
Therefore from 24 October 2000 - only Apple can use the trademark in business. Date of publication is not relevant.
The legal situation is different from that given by the slanted Register article.

No one has yet proven that a reactor can function at better than break even. Take a look at the sky. There are a few test models up there.
There were no scientists in the Middle Ages. The closest to being a scientist as such were priests and alchemists (often one and the same).

Your discovery of Van Deniken pseudo-science is as (third) eye-opening as finding out pro wrestling is not real.
