How can people care so much if their box is all snazzy and fancy, it's the hardware dammit, it's what's on the inside that counts...or atleast that's what I tell myself everytime i look in the mirror...
The UN is going the way of the League of Nations, nobody (particularly the USA) listens to them, their bureaucracy has bloated any potential for use they might have had.
Handing anything over to the UN is just asking it to be poorly managed by more people than could ever be needed to manage a particular task, and then to be delegated over repeatedly, until all sides are happy. Which, obviously will never happen and 1 side will just start ignoring them and doing what they like, which is an alarming trend as of late.
As is the case in Iraq and Sudan as of late, the nations that helped found the UN based on the League of Nations lack of authority, don't even listen to the UN, why put anything else under the jurisdiction of a useless entity?
Their only goal seems to be expand its bloat and watch and comment on the atrocities it's supposed to prevent, I for one am sick of international organizations that don't even stand up for themselves when they are trampled over again, and again.
The UN will go the way of the League of Nations, even though we all know it already has. Peacekeepers hiring prostitutes in Congo, people in Sudan starving to death, unchecked war in Iraq, and soon I'm sure war in another country with brown people in it, and hopefully some natural resources, yeehaw!

Make him work unpaid with only room and board as a slave for T-Mobile as a security technician.
Oh yeah..slavery...
I guess it's not such a good idea, but without the bad past of slavery, but incarceration is just a waste of money, when he could be using his "talent" positively. By forcing them to atone for their crimes perhaps they will learn the error of their ways by dealing with (in this case) people trying to crack the same security network he is now trying to secure.
Monitor him, which will probably cost less than the prison fees. He is not a danger to society, he is just simply someone who overstepped their legal boundary. I believe prison should be for violent criminals. Not that he will go to a real tough prison.
But if he screws up in the program outside of prison as rehabilitation, then he would be sent to a maximum security prison to serve the sentence to the end.

Perhaps if we hone our methods of pollution here we can use them for the good of man kind, a line every oil tycoon can use.
"We aren't in the oil business, we are in the business of testing pollutants in efforts to terraform inhospitable planets!"
Yeah right. I think it would be easier to find a way to reduce emissions on Venus and also will teach us something about reducing them on Earth, after all one day Earth will probably resemble Venus, except nobody will be around to take pictures and discuss the searing temperatures and lack of life as we understand it. And furthermore just because we view Mars as inhospitable, there may be life such as there is in the Challenger Deep in forms of single celled organisms measured in microns rather than cms.
It's not our given right to ruin one planet, much less two just for our own greed and so we have a place to run when we screw up Earth.
If we ruin the Earth's atmosphere, there's no way we'll ever be able to create a liveable atmosphere on a seperate planet, when we can't even manage a currently existing liveable atmosphere.
Any Mars atmosphere change should be put on hold until we can control the Earth's atmosphere, it's fun to speculate and create a fairy tell of warming Mars, but we need to find a way to control the atmosphere of Earth that is already reaching higher temperatures. How are we going to lower Mars' temperature if it gets too hot? It is NASA, hopefully they don't get celsius and fahrenheit mixed up in their experiments.
Democracy is not a basic right, but thank you for spelling compatible wrong over and over.
Democracy is a form of government, not a right.
Please don't think it's the "right" of other countries to give the "right" of democracy and freedom to other countries. Because we all know you don't give freedom by dropping bombs.
I don't think you're exactly an expert on one of the eldest still surviving cultures in the world. The amount of money they are donating is in no way evidence of them being barbaric one way or another.
I didn't donate any money to the tsunami relief at all, I suppose I'm inhumane as well. 50% of Canadians or more donated money almost $450,000,000 in federal money as well, I guess that means Canadians are not as barbaric as Americans or Norwegians.
Nobody cares about compassion, if they did the Americans would have spent the 80 billion on Africa instead of Iraq and could have saved lives instead of ruining cities and killing people.
I think starting senseless wars that end up in tragedy is better evidence of being a barbaric culture, rather than not donating to a relief fund.
I'd much rather see robots used for some kind of intelligent purpose rather than with a goal like playing the World Cup in mind, without FIFA sanctions at all, which would never happen because FIFA wouldn't sanction a match 45 years away.
With the kind of objectives this team has laid before them, I for one would love to play on the robot team, maybe just as a sub, they could afford to pay me my huge human contract as the other players would get nothing but WD-40 and a recharge.
I think it would be interesting to have cameras installed in every robots head as well, and why not the human players heads as well, so that we can all watch the game from a certain players point of view.
Not that I'm optimistic enough to believe in the human race surviving to 2050. But atleast now I have something to look forward to! Robot soccer team woohoo, money well spent!
There was a part of Paul Mooneys comedy show where he made jokes about OJ it was on the "master race album" he did, where he said "Oh and the jokes.. ohh.. you've heard the fucking jokes"
OJ's son: "dad can i borrow the bronco?" OJ: "I dunno, go axe your mother."
Did you hear OJ went on to marry that white brunette lady, thought he'd take an other stab at it.
"who must be enrolled full time at an accredited university"
what a load of crap, i cant believe they would limit so many great linux programmers/enthusiasts from entering this competition. im sure there are lots employed in ibm that never went to an "accredited university".
This might be a release for kids as a way of telling them this is what they should be watching as far as the Star Wars franchise is concerned. When a parent of a 6-10 year old child sees these movies they are more likely to get these than to get the "authentic star wars" movies. This will help parents make the choice between the happy go lucky EP1, the no so happy EP2, and the dark and scary (read: echoing evil laughter) EP3. I don't think it will be very scary at all, atleast not compared to the Exorcist type scary (not the new one either).
Anyways I saw these movies as a kid and thought they were interesting, but I would never reduce myself to watching them again. Kudos to Lucas for finding another source of income to fulfill his ranch addiction, and more importantly giving the new generation a movie to look back on later in life and wonder, why were they reduced to watching it.
About the Wicket W. Warrick character (the main ewok) played by Warwick Davis (suspisciously familiar first name) i think he is a real ewok but he is actually a midget so i guess he's a hairless ewok.
He's in the process of filming a movie role as Marvin the Paranoid Android. I'm sure if you care, you know what that is:)
They think that by giving their album out online as a "legal download" it will discourage people to steal?
Maybe if a bank gets robbed before it opens they will say "To hell with the vault, we will just leave our money on the side of the road from now on, that will show them!"
U2 should stick to enviromentalism and anti-war semantics before trying ass backwards methods of "getting people back" for stealing their music.
Why they even care is beyond me, I thought U2 was all about "the message they represent" and not about the money. "People that care about people."

By training our soldiers to train to use better training equipment our training will surely improve!
Kind of like study curious jocks.

And the old predictions of the Sleeping Prophet Edgar Cayce, who hasn't always been wrong and hasn't always been right.

There's a lot of facts to consider when making a series like this, but I am sure the people at Stargate will do a great job with continuity.
And will make little to no mistakes.
I hope.
