I find it disturbing that there are people who willingly piss themselves because they gorge themselves on soft drinks (or beer) and absolutely cannot miss a couple of seconds of the game. Can't you hold it in until the break?
The Highlands were deliberately depopulated. If you think the Irish had it bad, then have a look at Scottish history. The 'lovely' empty countryside of Scotland is a result of ethnic cleansing.
The key part of "Title of nobility" is the nobility part.
"Nobility" can have two characteristics - heredity of title and/or possession and/or rights and obligations to land. I.e. the Duke of Compton would own Illinois and/or be the King of the USA's representative (in war and peace) in Illinois and/or his son would also become Duke of Compton.
If you can't rell the difference between nobility and certification of academic qualifications, then you've certainly got something against formal education.
The founders may have hated artistocrats but they didn't hate men of learning. If you think so, see how many of them had academic qualifications they were proud of.
The sail will have a momentum at the time that it reaches the point between stars where their solar wind is of equal force. It doesn't grind to a stop because an equal force is exerted from front and behind - they balance out and momentum is retained. After that point, it will start decelerating - braking.
To balance differing wind speeds - a variable sail would be used. Stronger destination star - sail gets smaller over the journey.
In Soviet Russia they must have small SUVS, 1.7 meters long and 1.96 meters wide. Calling it SUV size is a blatant exaggeration and the Soviet Moon rovers were basically the size of Nasa ones.
I won't comment on calling something unmanned "a base".
Your statement is an ignorant and opinionated one.
This is not a case of 'constant' appeals (whatever that may mean and as a lawyer I can tell that U haven't come across a situation where there are 'constant' appeals). The Commission gave a decision. It can be appealed to the European Court of Justice. And that's it. The end. No more appeals.
It's good that the decision can be appealed. Would you imagine the horror of a system where a bureaucrat's decision cannot be appealed?
I'm a short scrawny guy with glasses. I carry an expensive phone, PDA and credit cards.
Couple of anecdotes:
1) Got mugged when 16. Lost my jacket, watch and assorted to some bastards who followed me on the tram. Didn't recognize the danger signs. Now I see them (see 4).
2) On a couple of occasions, thugs have come up to me to beat me up (on principle). On most of the occasions, they end up my 'friends' as in they left me alone after inviting for a drink/conversation. I basically learned the gift of gab and changed their perception of me. If they thought I was a rich snob, I told them I hate my boss and life. If they thought I was from a certain town, part of town, I told them I was from somewhere completely else. If they wanted to hit me on principle, I told them a sad story about my girlfriend dumping me and my grandfather's dog dying. I only got the crap kicked out of me on one occasion, when I didn't have the time to talk.
3) After being beaten up, I got a telescoping baton. It is some scary shit and legal in many places. I got to use it a month after buying it. I was drinking in a park at night with friends. There were 4 of us. Suddenly two guys with stockings on their heads and a gun and a knife appeared and said "Your cellphones and your money". One second later, my stick was out and I was smacking the guy with the gun. Stupid. But I broke his arm. He ran off shouting that I was a fag. After getting his ass kicked and the stocking ripped from his head (I hit him a couple of times).
4) A while ago, I was walking around with my baton, chatting on my phone. Noticed some guys walking around after me. Tried to lose them. Unsucessfully. They surrounded me and told me to give them my phone. I said "No!" and ran shouting crazy talk. They didn't follow. If I had the baton I would have beat the shit out of them.
5) After that incident I haven't had much shit apart from a couple of situations in clubs or bars where some guy tried to go after my girl. I stare them down and tell them to go away. I'm not really scared.
Don't be scared. Don't make yourself into a hobo (do you really want your fear to change your appearance and lifestyle). Walk around like you belong somewhere. If accosted, talk back. If you've got protection, use it. If you don't, run. If you can't, give it up.
So, the lesson is, the Chinese government leadership has very good intentions.
You are very naive.
Nobody has perfected lying and propaganda better than communists.
In the case of communist governments, don't believe what they say they'll do and be sceptical about what they say they've done. Also check the people who confirm that the governments has done what it says its done.
Slashdot.org offers a similar service. It matches your server output with that of one that has been fried. Its basically identical.
In other words, this site has been slashdotted which any fool could have been predicted (smallish site, massive cpu usage for image comparison, every slashdotter and his non-existent girlfriend logging in).
Even if it was the above, it wouldn't be as ghastly a travesty as "A Beautiful Mind". A tale which Hollywood perverted in its anti-intellectualism to cure the complexes of the intellect-limited, so that the genius hero ends up telling the world that its not brains that matter but heart and love. The movie hero professed his love to his wife who had stood with him through madness. The real-life genius got dumped.
As Tony told a particularly lavascious Italian connection, that he'd 'fuck' her with pleasure but he doesn't 'shit' where he eats. Don't mix business with pleasure. Good advice if a trifle vulgar.
You were creeping me out with your guide to how to manipulate people and pretend to give a damn. Then you flipped me out with two words. So, we know why you're niceto people. To fuck sluts.
Sorry about the joke but you set yourself up for it... Especially when you talk about D&D being good for social skills. D&D -> shared obsessions -> furry all too often.
We're discussing a genius. Sticking him behind a food counter is like connecting a Ferrari to a cart. A dangerous waste. I would freak out from boredom after a day and I'm only very smart. Or not.
After a lifetime of government service, one ticket on a shuttle flight was as fitting a reward as we could have given the man.
How much did that ticket cost? 20 million. Shit, I think he could have been given another medal, a million and let somebody who has never been in space up to enjoy the experience. And do some real work. A 70 year old geronaut was about as useful on the mission as I would be. Selfish old man.
What with excess of office space in Tokyo and the recession in Japan as well as the fact that skyscrapers built to withstand earthquakes age very well, I would have though the Big G. was the main cause for you having any work to do...
Incredibly stupid idea on the lines of "let's remove the sun glare problem for space walks by blinding the astronauts".
Smell is a sense. You need it. It will tell you that things are going wrong, i.e.: a) nasty burning smell - fire; b) nasty flatulence smell - cut down on the beans or you'll explode; c) nasty cheese smell - one of the other astronauts has the hots for you...

As long as Apple stops other companies from using the name, they lose no rights to the trademark if the rest of the world uses it as a generic name.
No, you're wrong. Once it becomes generic, goodbye mark. IAAL.

It won't get blown around
I see you haven't thought your 'insightful' comment through.
You start to approach another star, you turn the sail around and its light decelerates you.
You're committing fraud - the warranty doesn't cover lock opening. You demand payment by giving the impression that the cable was cut.
Fraud.

Why do I suddenly hear Robin Williams singing "Blame Canada".
For the sake of freaking Beelzebulb, fuel vapors exploded not a nuke.
That's like my saying that your SUV is unsafe because a train derailed last week.

You were creeping me out with your guide to how to manipulate people and pretend to give a damn. Then you flipped me out with two words. So, we know why you're nice to people. To fuck sluts.
Fuck you.
Oh, and I'm 25 and going to be married next May
Damn, you both failed your saving rolls?

You've been to Singapore. Tell me what part of Japan is Singapore in? THIS IS AN ARTICLE ABOUT A JAPANESE AIRPORT.
NARITA.
In Singapore they speak fluent English because they were occupied by Oxford educated officers.
In Japan, they speak Engrish because they were occupied by GIs (just joking).
For heaven's sake. Mod the parent down.
This is a quote from the article (Engrish!):
"Most certainly, it is absolutely ideal and it is most likely this technology will be utilised," - Chris Shimizu, NEC's corporate relations manager.
If he's using it, then all his base belongs to us. If he's not, then perhaps he should.
Is a digital camera or a DVD better than your eyes? Would you rather be at the Duke basketball game or watch it on TV?
Can you look at a mountain range on a video or in a picture and see it context to your height, surroundings, atmosphere?
Ahh... tourism is a reason to go there!
