Having last year done the 24 hour flight from Sydney to London and having to go back at Christmas, I could handle a little noise if it cut the flight to 5 hours. 10 hours even. I am 6'4" so after a while planes just suck. I'm excited by this.
P.S.: This post has just been Slashdotted, so there is sure to be some lively debate on this subject over there, too. Welcome, Slashdot readers. Come back often!
The are some groups who say that global warming isn't happing and some that say it is. Wether or not it is I think I'd rather err on the side of caution. Seriously we have no where to go if we stuff this planet up. You don't walk through dodgy areas at night not because you know something is going to happen but it might.
the hacker will be some buffed, good looking cool dude who gets the chicks. I know its fiction but come on. Was anyone convinced that Hugh Jackman was a hacker in swordfish. I mean he used toi be a hacker but now he works the oil fields.
How right you are. That wanker (and the PM of my own country Oz) should be locked up as international criminals for there failure to help the environment!
I wish those f*ckers in the my (Oz) government and the US government would stop going on about whats good for oz/us and stat thinking about whats good for the world. How can they say climate change isn't happening, the evidence is all around. Here in the Uk (where ia m living at the mo) we just had the hottest day on record and 6 of the hottest years have been in then 90s. Back home in oz we have had mild winters and record summers with huge bush fires. we need to do soemthing about it.I don't care if the extra water will absord CO2. We shouln't produce so much to stat with. What about the lost enviroment for the artic animals.
THere is no excuse why places like oz don't have solar panels instead of roof tiles. Don't tell me they are too expensive. If solar research got the funding it deserved we could be rid of power plants by now.

Don't get me wrong I like dogs as well. YOu need to get to know a cat (not all of them but usally) before it is affectionate. Then it will be your best mate. Dogs are instantly your best mate. Cats are definately smarter (not mine, it still hasn't worked out glass doors).
Has anybody ever ahd sex in space. I reckon it would be really sweet as. no worrying about whos on top etc. Those russian guys were up there by themselves for a year so masturbation in space must ahve happened.
from what I heard everyone used to drive on the left but when napoleon conquered europe he wanted to demonstrate his power so made everyone switch. Thats why certain colonies of countries which drive on the right, drive on the left eg Indonesia (drive on left) was a dutch colony (drive on right). dunno why the US chaned. maybe to stick it up the brits.
any of those sound good. i would love a phone that is customisable like a comp. download what eve progs u want etc. small developers making nice games etc. wow sounds like they could use linux.
Mario Kart on SNES and 64 are 2 of my all time favourite games. Don't get me wrong I like my violent type games (currently addicted to GTA vice city) but the kiddy games are good to. I do think u have a point. They shouldn't just have kiddy games. LEt third party developers bring them out and classify them 15+ or something so the kiddies don't get them.
Are water striders one of those bugs they have everywhere like flies/mosquitos/etc. We have them in oz, here in the UK, in asia and the US. Anywhere else.
Have you been to Europe recently. English beer sucks, I know I live here but the mainland. HAve you tried Belgian beer or German or Czech. you have to go to those countries and get it fresh to really appreciated. Bottled and sent half way round the world doesn't do it justice.
Its worth it to see if we can do it. AS shown its not hard to throw up a ship full of metal. Its doesn't need air to breathe or get affected by g-force etc. Space travel is the pinnacle of human endeavour (along with genetic engineering). I believe that man landing on the moon was one of the greatest things the human race has down. ITs worth it!
Ok to all. Maybe I was a bit rash but I can confidently say that advertising is the smallest factor in why I buy something. I usually evaluate things for myself and generally go for the cheapest option (i'm poor). Most of the time ads just annoy me. Don't think i was trolling though.

Was that the one they were building in Die Hard 3.

The train lines bending cacked me up. What do they use for rails here....solder. Its terrible, they freeze in winter and melt in summer.

Yeah government and oil company sponsored scientist. Just look around. u don't need to be a scientist to see that the climate is changing!

Well this is news for nerds and science is a pretty nerdy subject!
be able to survive one attack but multiple attacks may fell it. Maybe Asia can go next.
havn't you heard the annoying theme song thats played everywhere.
I thought Phoenix was a dodge! as i recall the early '60s ones were push button autos. Weird!

I live here in the UK (London) and I have never heard so many pirate stations. They are the only good radio stations here. As if this will matter.
