Ah, you should definitely be able to find some tapes of the older episodes. I've been watching a few lately because the heat has kept me upstairs and I just have a VCR there. It's really interesting to see how the different doctors played the part, and if you've ever considered the "Mary Ann vs. Ginger" question there are a number of lovely companions to check out.
Part of the article discussed the security reasons why they do this. What I'm saying is you can't even watch the Beeb in some places here without finding your own security threatened, so I'm not surprised they're trying to protect their systems.
US news is pretty useless these days unless you're interested in Michael Jackson and runaway brides - witness the non-coverage of the pre-war meeting where the Brits realized they were going to war no matter what the intelligence said.
I would've stuck with the Creative Nomad because it had great battery life, then it died on me. But I have to say, if you're going to carry one around the iPod has a much better form factor. The rectangular size difference is large, but it's really the depth that helps so you can keep it in your pocket. Of course, mine was closer to $250US.
I worked at a large broker, and they had to be able to come up with a two-week old email immediately, a year old email within two weeks, etc., back to like seven years I think.
That's the way it's supposed to work. "They" didn't ALL believe that obviously, and when there was enough evidence to the contrary the theory was updated.
Scientists can be just as guilty as anyone of holding onto their beliefs, the difference is they can't say "God told me so" and justify killing the nonbelievers.
Yuck. Point taken, but what a nasty mental image! Wouldn't want too many of those on my desk.:-)
Actually the real innovation was the glue that wouldn't "set", so you could remove the thing later w/o tearing the original. It was a failed experiment that they found a use for. I believe the guy was looking for a way to keep his place in a hymm book at church. He didn't want to deface it.
1) I knew there were no WMD and I have no budget - it was obvious he was playing poker, we had him in a box for ten years. It's kinda obvious if you have a brain and don't get pressured by Cheney and Bolton.
2) If you want to call things "leftist", why not just use "Communist", which is what you're trying to imply?
3) BSAF was happy to report they put 23% less stuff in the air last year, down to 17,000 million tons. Fifty years ago people thought you could put anything you wanted into the ocean and rivers and it would affect anything. BZZZZTTTT. It did. It's common sense that's it's a good long-term move to minimize our effect on the environment, for purely selfish reaons. It's what they call a CONSERVATIVE approach to natural resources.
Now post with a real fucking name next time coward.

Thailand's Finance Minister Suchart Jaovisidha had to be rescued today from inside his expensive BMW limousine after the onboard computer crashed, leaving the vehicle immobilized.
Once the computer failed, neither the door locks, power windows nor air conditioning systems would function, leaving the Minister and his driver trapped inside the rapidly heating vehicle.
Despite the pair's best efforts, it took a full ten minutes before they were able to summon the attention of a nearby guard who freed the two men by smashing one of the vehicle's windows with a sledgehammer.
A report (http://www.bangkokpost.com/Business/13May2003_biz 12.html) published in the Bangkok Post indicates that the vehicle was Mr Jaovisidha's own BMW 520 which was being used while his state-supplied Mercedes, was being repaired.
Yes, nice Jewish fella. I don't recall him renouncing that either, but I'm not a biblcal scholar myself. And yes I know the chosen people part is earlier, but it would play in anyway. And you're right about the effect on the Jews, but we're talking about the proto-typical Christians pushing their religion, not Judaism. The Christians did eventually get the Roman empire to turn Christian, i.e. they won!
All I'm saying is let's get obvious for a minute. It's pretty easy to imagine any number of scenarios in which this story came to be. There are people with ambition and agendas and political situations to deal with, and unless you have video of the events all you know is what was written and allowed to be included If you believe, fine, enjoy. I think it's more likely he pulled a David Copperfield, or the whole thing was vastly pumped up for the growth of the church. We all know how unreliable eyewitnesses are, and the group was promoting their agenda, which I think it's a bit more plausible story.
The logic is simple: Extortion, bribery and politics and church PR are much more likely to be involved than virgin birth, coming back from the dead, and ascending into heaven. Or UFO's, for that matter.
The former happen millions of times a day in all societies, the latter you claim to have happened exactly once, and it's surely a good claim to make if you're in 40AD selling a religion. As Mel Brooks said "Christians are so poor they only have one God." If that's the case, you might want to at least have his son be a local boy, literally part of your tribe. So you must be the people of God. Want someone to follow you around? A little flattering helps. That's how we know us Americans are the best people on the planet. Because they tell us all the time. Right before they ask for our money.
On the other hand, I was just out doing some yard work and I think photosynthesis is surely a miracle if there ever was one. And evolution.
Difference is neither of those tells me how to live or who to hate.
And if you believe in the story so strongly, why do you post as Anonymous?

Pay any attention to the last election much, didja?
You can't get elected to a school board in the US if you're not the "right" religion.
Of course there's always California...

That's a problem? Methinks you guys are doing better than you let on...

Why do you hate the rest of the world?
Ah, if I could only watch BBC news at my local bar without someone asking why I hate America!
They're obviously the top mice on the (ex-)planet, no?
That's why I don't have a $500 cell phone.

What makes the price in the UK so high, the VAT?
Let me see if I get this straight, you can't afford to buy a decent MP3 player and WE'RE losers?
there's nothing liberal about trying to keep some looney bin neighbor from bringing down the local real estate values.
or, if there is, then i'm all for it anyway.
I worked at a large broker, and they had to be able to come up with a two-week old email immediately, a year old email within two weeks, etc., back to like seven years I think.
Somehow I doubt it. Also, my guess is it'd be pretty hard to read. They don't need to make English-named variables and function names, right?
make sure they don't run the email system first.
'nuff said. The bike ride would've put me out completely!
:-)
Good taste in movies.
Ok, I'll bite - are you in the Boy Scouts, the Army or jail?
:-)
Last time I did that it was comic books with a flashlight and I was 9....
Not sure if it was intended, but thanks for the laugh.

It's not expensive, but it may be a bit messy...
You mean they don't consider it front page news because they.... put it on the front page of their website?
Look again.
So, you're saying maybe I *shouldn't* throw out all that stuff in my spring housecleaning?
Hell, I just threw out a full set of Lotus stuff for OS/2 still in shrink-wrap.
