$50 sure is cheap. Though I wonder why you feel the need to go down to tenths of a cent.
Yes I realize you were using a an European convention for denoting thousands place, but you are posting to an American board referencing American currency, and it is in reply to an American article about an American Company.
2001 is not Hard Science Fiction. Try reading some Sheffield for Hard Science Fiction.
Also, SciFi is different from Science Fiction. SciFi a just a step above "Space Opera". Start Trek is SciFi, Star Wars is Space Opera. These are not to disparage on literary terms but scientific terms. SciFi uses technical gobbly-gook terms: "If we rearrange the quantum manifold and shoot a tachyon beam...". Where as Space Opera could be just pure fantasy but replaces elves and orcs with aliens, and fireballs with lasers, and dragons with spaceships.
Science Fiction is a plot held with in the framework of current Scientific theory. Hard Science Fiction is scientific hypothesis defines a plot. Read a book by David Drake and by Charles Sheffield and see the difference between Science Fiction and Hard Science Fiction. I recommend The Web Between Worlds and Lt Leary Commanding. Science drives The Web whereas Science puts boundaries on Leary.
Mormonism is an offshoot of Christianity much as Islam is an offshoot of Christianity, and Christianity is an offshoot of Judeaism.
Personally, I consider LDS and Islam to be about equally valid. While current Mormons and Moslems may be OK, history shows that the founders seem to have created a religion for personal benefit.
Christians are not exactly off the hook themselves. There were more than four Gospels. There were other books. The early Church made some political decisions on what is official and what is heresy. The later Church wasso filled with corruption and hypocrisy, that a rank-and-file priest became a heretic (Martin Luther for the slow ones in class) rather than accept the corruption. Latter Christians used the excuse of belonging to different sect as a reason to make war.
Many modern Moslems and Mormons behave better than many modern Christians. What I am saying is doesn't matter what kooky ideas you follow so much as to how they get implemented.
A couple of things, it sounds like it is not stored on flash but a ram drive. If your are losing what is stored with a power loss, then that would be a RAM drive. Most of the Roms use a ram drive. Your SD card sounds like it is fubared and or some serious bug with the SD driver. I remember on most ROMs that there are problems trying to partition and format an SD card, and it might be that which is causing your problem.
I have an SL5500 and symlinked the/root/home/opt to a ext2 formated SD. I used my Linux desktop and a USB card reader to partition the SD card. This has worked well for 2 years. I also use OpenZaurus. The limited look I had of the SharpROM, I wasn't pleased, and I have not looked back since using OZ.
Many alloys of Gallium (mainly various ratios of Gallium, Irdium, and Tin) have very low melting points. Some as low as -4C. Problem is that Gallium is fairly corrosive to other metal particularly Aluminum. Aluminum blocks would be corroded away in minutes then there is a fairly exothermic reaction that is made with water.
By just bumping my FSB and not touching voltage settings, I get 200mhz more out of my Athlon64 3200+ (754). That effectively makes it an Athlon64 3400+.
Tornados are usually formed from Cumolonimbus clouds (thunder clouds). These usually mean that the sky is only partly cloudy. Combine with the fact that you will only have minutes of warning via visible means before a tornado strikes, and any advance warning means can be critical.
Maybe several hundred Indians to say one Abrahms tank. Given the choice between Indian and tank crew, I'd choose crew, and still would prefer option c: not there at all.
There is an exact special coordinate: The Center of the Universe. Big Bang theory would say that everything is expanding from one spot and so that would be the center. Once that location is known, it is easy to develop a grid to plot out specific reference points.
Bob and Bubba were throwing a truly extravagant party. The ale was freely flowing, lots of great looking viking women, and a "surprising" amount of foreigners there. Spanglish was the most common tongue spoken, but English was a about third. Kinda surprised no drums and guitars were found, but I suspose some of the more conscentious attendees cleaned up well.
It is more a commentary on the litigious nature of the US legal system. While this measure is likely to fail, TigerDirect is hoping for an out of court settlement. Waiting until the day before release is proof. Unfortunately I doubt Apple could come up with proof of barratry so TigerDirect will not be greatly punished by failing in thier bid.
Vehicles are done in Tribes/Tribes2/TribesVengeance and in BattleField 1942. I remember in Tribes2 and I think BF you can throw grenades while firing (a seperate key just for grenades). A number of games have been setup to allow melee attacks with your gun (bash with gun stock). I think some of the Jedi games let you dual wield the light saber with a gun. The light saber was definately not a backup weapon.
No it is not the same. Otherwise there would be no copyright laws or copyright violations. It would just be Theft.
Copyright violation can be seen as a prevention of generation fo revenue, while theft is a removal of generated revenue.
Let's give an esample so you can better understand. If I go into a store and take a pack of cigarrettes without paying, I have committed theft. Now lets say instead I tell someone waiting in line to pay for cigs that they cause cancer and they will die if they smoke them, and the person puts away the cigs and leaves without buying anything; I have not committed a crime but the store owner was prevented from generating revenue.
Now in US law, copyright and patents are granted to advance art and science. It is a recognition of peoples natural desire for compensation. It is a compromise though, as art and science are usefully advanced by having freely available work. Part of this compromise was that copyright matters were civil not criminal matters.
If you take a look at patents, you see that they only last 20 years. You can reasonably expect to see most patents granted in your lifetime expire within your lifetime. Copyrights used to have short expiration dates. Look at all the various revisions of Romeo and Juliet that have been done of the years. Old works can be turned into new exciting works, when copyrights expire.
There are differences that are readily apparent, but they are incremental. Kinda like the differences between win95 and win98 or win2k.

I mean really, if you have a new drug that you want to test on Humans, and the FDA approves the trial, who is at fault if there are some negative consequences? This assumes that you did not lie to get the approval.

Just as Buffy is a great TV show though the movie was lame, so is SG-1 better than the Movie.
Nah, that's his wife. :-P

Sorry, got the letter but I was unable to make out the date. Maybe you should take some penmanship classes.
Else when you go back you displace an equal amount of matter/energy and that is sent back as your replacement.
Lastly, maybe it would violate the Law of thermodynamics. It would be the most feasible means of doing an end run around entropy.

You thought they were from the present. Notice how you can't find those girls again? :)

Well, as the earth is just a giant computer, it would logically follow that a robot is just a casing for a planet.
Netscape. Worse in Security and worse in bloat.
Netscape does not handle plugins better. It is also significantly behind on security updates.
