Cars for the next year were offered for sale the year before (EG: '57 chevy offered for sale in '56) because it took longer to make cars back then and it was a matter of pride to be one of the first people to own that 57 chevy at the begining of 1957.
Cars are now made extremely quickly compared to the 50s and available before the year is half over but the original concept still remains (even though the ideals are long since dead).
As for the sports game naming it's completely pointless. There is absolutly NO WAY a software company could know what is going to go on in the next sports season. If it's NHL 2004, you can bet that JS Giguere is going to be in it BUT if this game is released during the begining of summer and Giguere dies in car accident or such (may the Great Hockey Gods forbid) the game is then no longer accurate.
The moral: if you're going to name sports software in the future tense put the word 'Fantasy' in front of it...
(PS: I used the 50s throughout because I like the style of cars from that era. To quote Al Bundy - 'Back then all that mattered was going fast and looking cool. Who cared if you couldn't survive a head on collision.')
Read some scientific studies. You prpbably just listen to the US government which has continually kept its citizens 'in the dark' in order to better control them.
Nixon funded a study on the effects of marijuana. Scientists proved that what the US government was saying was a complete lie. Nixon threw the study in the trash and embarked on a campain to be the 'big pot-busting president'. We all know what happened to him...
I have documented and personal proof that pot causing brain damage is a lie (Toked since I was 8, graduated grade school without failing anything and a B+ average majoring in computers, minoring in electronics. Graduated BC Institute of Technology with a 4.5/5 grade point average. Graduated CDI Colledge with a 4.8. When finances allow I will be getting my degree in astrophysics {a promise to my grade 12 physics teacher})
As for your religious quote, I don't follow that fairy tale and definately do not like it spewed at me. That's one of the major 'selling points' of my religion - We don't force it on you or tell you that what you may believe in now is false. We don't tell you that some entity that no can see is going to 'save you' after you die. Unless you've died and come back to life you do not have ANY right to say that living this existance in a particular way is going to make things better for you after this existance ends.
Just because it's written in a book doesn't mean it's true and just because many people believe in a non-corporeal entity doesn't mean he/she/it exists.
I live in Burnaby (a suburb of Vancouver, British Columbia). I think it's well known across North America that approx. 80% of the population of BC have tried pot at least once in their lives.
I'm 32. I first tried pot when I was 8. (Everyone was talking about it but wouldn't tell me what it was so I looked it up in an encyclopedia & the reference books it listed. My research continued from there)
At 14 I 'founded' the Loyal Order of Red-Eye Knights. We stand for Truth, Honour, and Courage (THC). Peace through the power of the Plant. Your rise in the order is governed by the following:
First tried-4 years - beginner 4-8 years - Apprentice 8-16 years - Junior Knight 16-32 years - Full Knight 32 years and on - Member of the High Council
(This is based on you being a regular smoker (IE: at least once a week)
This Order could be seen as a religion because it is our belief that marijuana (and hemp) is one of the more benifical plants.
You get more paper and better quality products using hemp over wood. The medical benefits are finally coming to light after years lies and misinformation propagated individuals who were more concerned with their self-image and bank accounts than the actual truth.
For many, many years pot-smokers have been persecuted, incarcerated, descriminated against and forced into 're-education'.
If you replace 'pot-smokers' with pretty much any religious denomination the statement remains true.
One massive, money-grabbing, inflexable company (MS) was unable to 'destroy' Linux so now they think two of these companies can do it? Guess they haven't realized they're going in the wrong direction yet...
ASCII graphics, originally made for a mainframe. Very simple game - build up your character until you can kill the Balrog. On average it take about 2000-3000 playing hours to complete this basic task. Even though the graphics are crap the gameplay, magic items and different monsters caused my friends and I to continually play it. One of my friends had an Amiga whose version had actual graphics but otherwise was the same. This is the game that introduced me to software RPGs (was playing D&D the old-fashioned way!) and I would definately have to say that the RPG has changed me and my outlook on life...
that we've finally wised-up and have clasified religion correctly - another form of entertainment that shouldn't be the single guiding force in life...
When I was going to school (way back when) I had a thriving business of selling fireworks (bringing them to BC from US Indian Reserves) and selling single cigs (a pack was $2.50 then and I sold them for 25 cents each).
Considering most viruses/worms and other hacks are usually done by individuals who are of school age, how long do you think it's going to take for some enterprising kid to hack this site and offer to modify other student's records for a price?
I posted a reply a few days ago about how the US is becoming more facist and that a person could be held in custody without any rights at all under the guise of terrorist activities. Someone here (who shall remain nameless) replied to me and basically 'slapped' me down saying this doesn't happen, no one is held in the US without due proccess. To that person I say "you see this? Maybe the rocket's red glare and the stars & stripes are blocking your view.'
Saddam doesn't have to win and Bin Laden doesn't have show his face again - the damage is already done. The US is no longer the 'land of the free' and the 'home of the brave' is now the the 'home of the paranoid'.
No matter how much 'crap' you pile on, at the base core Google is search engine. It's not a creator or define-or of words and phrases.
Google's ranking system (IMHO) is just like a movie critic - there for information but if you base everything on it you'd better remove the horseblinders so you can at least see someone slapping you upside the head!
Orwell's Big Brother will come to pass if we continue to let others tell us what what we should think. I know it's hard for some people but try to draw your conclusions AFTER consulting more than one source...
I seem to recall a front page of a magazine showing OJ's arrest picture that apparently had been darkened (I guess it was an attempt to make it more macabre{sp?})
Anyone know if that photgrapher or if an editor was fired or repremanded for that?
'Prosecutors in January lodged an appeal, objecting to the application of the law and the presentation of evidence. '
If they object to the law, shouldn't that be debated by government reps? I don't think a judge has the authority to ignore the law.
Objection of evidence presentation should have been done at the time the evidence was introduced, shouldn't it? Just because your legal team didn't think of a 'snappy comeback' at the appropriate time isn't a reason for a 'do-over' (IMHO).
It was called Hand of God. It would trace back to the offending computer and hunt thru cookies/email logs/outlook etc and find the person's email address then submit it to 250,000+ porno sites. I believe the makers reffered to it as reverse email bombing. Anyone heard of this program or others like it?
Good idea but humankind is not made up of pesimistic(sp?), paraniod 'I'd rather keep my head in the sand than see what's over that hill' people.
This is the same thinking that kept the 'discovery of the new world' from happening years earlier (Ship crews were known to kill their captains if they sailed out of sight of land)
Facing the risks of crossing a new frontier has been one of the main driving forces of our race. How many scientists did we loose trying to create nitroglycerin? Because of their courage and sacrifice we have medication for heart attacks.
Also sending machines into space is expensive and not reliable. (There are 2 multi-million dollar piles of high-tech garbage on the surface of Mars to attest to that)
As long as there is something to explore and people are willing to face the risk (and there are governments willing to pony up the cash), there will be tragedies.
All we can do is learn from our mistakes and CAUTIOUSLY go where no one has gone before...
TrueTrue! Considering some the 'funky' things they've done in the past (my favorite was when they hung a Bug from Lion's Gate Bridge), I wouldn't put it past those drunken frat-boys to launch the occasional VW Bug just to have it come back to Earth for the ultimate grad prank...
YOu're the idiot if you think the Us is the free-est country. As an outsider looking in: in the past 2 years the US which is supposed to be democratic has shown some really facist ideals. The DEA can walk into ANYBODYS home without warning and ANYBODY can be held in custody without even rights to council. As far as I know there has only been one organization in the past 100 years. I believe the were called the SS.
D-day. The unnamed day on which a particular operation commences or is to commence
Since this definition reffers to 'a particular operation I would think the D stands for Decision as in that's the day the decision was made to commit 'their' forces to combat.
As far as I know all cellphones have call display. If I get a call that is either unknown/blocked number or it's a number I don't recognize, I don't answer it. If it's someone who wants to talk to me they can leave a voice mail.
Also, I use a pay-as-you-go plan. If a person doesn't 'recharge' his/her phone, after a while what happens to the number?
'All good things...' I guess. It reminds me I still have a working Atari 2600 with 20 games. Haven't played it that much because my only joystick for it is starting to go. I wonder if there's an adapter out there somewhere...
1. My father not only set up 3 companies on his own but helped a number of other out of money trouble by restructuring their accounting departments. He didn't have any will-power when it came to his own money though. (That's why he married my mother. She did)
2. Told 'them' I had no problem with taking it to court & making it as public as humanly possible because:
3. Descrimination based on personal, non-job related shortcommings is against the labor code.

Actaully this makes perfect sense for a company that is designed for making money.
You can't make money selling fully functional software or by releasing patches. You can make money selling newer versions of disfunctional software.
One massive, money-grabbing, inflexable company (MS) was unable to 'destroy' Linux so now they think two of these companies can do it? Guess they haven't realized they're going in the wrong direction yet...
The idea of a government that actually cares about it's citizens rather than seeing them as just revenue would be quite strange and scary to the US.

Find out WHO owns the rights and ask THEM about it. If you can cut a deal behind the IDSAs back, you can tell them to sit on a mid-digit and rotate...
