1988 -...A fifty-foot containment wall is erected along the New Jersey shoreline, across the Harlem river, and down along the Brooklyn shoreline. It completely surrounds Manhattan Island. The US police force, like an army, is encamped around the island. The rules are simple. Once you go in, you don't come out.

Hey, he was thirteen years early, but he was a prophet.
They have a layoff, some one gets fired, has a shitty meeting, whatever. He snaps, and goes stalking office to office pumping round after round into his coworkers...(sorry).
Anyway, the thinking is probably that if some one has to drive home, get a gun, and come back, they're more likely to calm down first and go blow off steam at the shooting range rather than the office.
I think most gun owners are perfectly responsible. At least the ones I know are. I'm just saying it's not too dificult to imagine the companies' position.
One nice thing about the MERP set my friend had was that it came with two twenty sided d10s, that is it had 0-9 printed on each die twice, so it was much less clunky than a regular d10.
Also re MERP being two easy, I really think it depends on the GM. We considered it a great acomplishment if our characters survived to 5th level. By then of course, we usually had prices on our heads in Arnor, Angmar, Gundabad (sometimes all three).:-)
Put the mouth of the baloon over one end of the hose and affix with duct tape. Insert ball bearing into other end of hose and allow it to drop into the baloon. Pull back on the bearing. Aim. Release. Repeat;-)
Not every RIAA album is crap. Yes, the huge acts tend to be the blander or "safer" acts, but there is still alot of talent out there that gets scooped up with the chaff. Exampes lying around my desk: Downset (one of the few real hardcore bands I've seen on a major label), Mazzy Star (fairly obscure, but they're on Capitol), Bjork.
I don't approve of their methods, but like MS, just because they are ruthless and underhanded doesn't mean that nothing worthwhile comes out of these companies.
You can hand over the private key, but if it's got a pass phrase on it, do you really have to tell them. You have the right to remain silent and all. You don't have to tell them the key to the safe-deposit box is under the toilet tank either.
In an interview with the architect of the building on CNN, he said that in the event of a collapse, they were designed to collapse as they did, inward, so they wouldn't level half of lower Manhattan.
I guess the differnece is that the worm would only last as long as the web server stayed up. Without write access to the file system, it couldn't modify any startup scripts or httpd itself. So stop apache, patch, and restart - clean!
It was the premise of Higeria. The AI's cause a black hole to be created on Earth durring farcaster experiments. This forces humans to flee the Earth and create the World Web. It's referred to as The Big Mistake in the book.

One thing that I think is going to come out of this is that you are going to need a hell of a lot more than a knife and a couple of razors to take over an air craft. If some guy starts to wave a knife around, unless he has a bomb strapped to his chest, the passangers are going to tear his fucking head off.
I noticed many people mentioning the fact that this pic makes a great desktop image. I'm just curious: How many of us have even seen our desktops lately. I almost always have at least one if not more windows maximized. The most I see of my background image is when it flashes by when I flip to a new virtual desktop.
I'd be perfectly willing to pay $100+ for 768 DSL and a TOS that allows servers. I'm on my third provider in a year, and none of them has charged me more than $60 for the connection! I've had zero complaints with the service at any of these companies (Verio, GalaxyDSL, Speakeasy), but I'd rather pay a little more than hop ISPs every six months.
I'm just hoping that Covad can lever itself back up into solvency so I don't get stuck with Verizon <shudder>.
Read The Curve of Binding Energy The author was one of the leading nuclear weapons designers durring the cold war. He designed a tactical nuclear weapon that weighed under 50lbs. He also claims that the minimum critical mass of PU printed in your physics book is much larger than the real, classified value (highly dependant on how you shape the fissionables/charges).
Or since these machines probably have a way of communicating with each other, the car that had the blowout can just transmit the fact to its neighbors.
I am not a physicist, this is just my understanding of the process.
The fusion reaction stops, since the pressure provided by the containment is necessary to maintain the reaction. As the poster below mentions, if the plasma ate through the torus, I imagine some radiation would be released between the time containment was lost and the plasma fell below reaction temprature.
The problem with fusion reactors seems to be the opposite of fission. That is the problem is not keeping the reaction below melt-down level. The problem is keeping it fast enough so that enough energy is produced to sustain the reaction. Therefore, I don't think a failure in a fusion reactor would produce a "China Syndrome" or anything like that.
They have spent millions on the last couple of games, most notably X. So if one assumes that most people who are fans of the game go to see the movie, then yes, they are justified on makeing a big budget movie just for the fans of the game.

You're a little off there, Tolkien fans would be playing MERP.

Atually, the nohup is implied in bash when you put the & at the end of the command.

Zero at 23 yrs old and counting (with my fingers crossed).
Up here in MA, I believe there was some talk about suing the gun companies. I don't know if anything ever came of it though.

Final Fantasy is not a dub, the English soundtrack is the original.

Ahhh not emo! You should get yourself some real music
Just kidding, to each his own. But seriously you should check those bands out if you are into punk/hardcore.
