Actually with the right burner, you can burn either 90 or 99 minute discs. I've never seen the blank media being sold, but Tom's Hardware reviewed it here so it must exist somewhere.
Plus the fact that people with ebola die too quickly to be effective vectors for the epidemic. To be really effective, you would need a disease that is as deadly as ebola, as virulent as influenza, and has a relatively long incubation period (2 weeks or so.) That would be really scary.
It reminds me a hilarious Simpsons were Maude Flanders is rescued and she states "Oooh Neddy : I almost thought I was going to the place of eternal bliss and salvation!" and that right there points out the hilarious paradox of religion)
"Every tear shed at a funeral is evidence for atheism." - author unknown (to me at least)
The reason why it wasn't good in terms of writing quality was because it was written from the viewpoint and vocabularial age of Charly, as he changes through the book. Its an interesting technique, but it makes it impossible to say it is a great book technically.
One of the most popular singers and one of the first to die the tragic rockstar death. now that's cultural statement.
First to die? Elvis died in 1977. That puts Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Jim Morrison before him. And Elvis hardly "died the tragic rockstar death". Its more like "the tragic washed up has been death".
You don't need YaBoot to do that anymore. On any New World Mac (i.e. any Mac made after the first iMac), all you have to do is hold down the Option key during boot. This will bring up an OF based OS menu that will include all bootable volumes available.
The Taliban is not the legitimate government of Afghanistan.
Well I guess we should have thought of that before we set them up as the government so they would fight the Soviets.
Here's another point: we target terrorists (and their supporters) and hit innocents by mistake. Pigs like bin Laden targets innocents from the git-go.
We will fight this war in the same way we fought in Iraq and Bosnia. We will attack military and civilian targets without distinction, and when the news is leaked every once in a while, we will claim it was an accident.
Does anyone else remember when we hit the Chinese embassy in Sarejevo with a cruise missile, and we tried to claim it was a result of having old maps?
You're missing the point. In the TOS, it was always "where no man has gone before". At the end of the sixth movie, Kirk says "where no man -- where no one -- has gone before". It was couched in terms of him getting past his own rascist view of Klingons, to mean all races instead of just mankind.
I always thought it was done as an homage to TNG, since that is how they say it in their credits.
The worst inconsistency I can remember in TNG was in the first episode with Lore. They went through the entire episode emphasizing the fact that Data can't use contractions and Lore can. Then, at the end of the show, after they had just beamed Lore into the clutches of the crystalline entity, Picard asks Data if he is alright, and Data responds with "I'm fine." The only conclusion I can come to is that Lore somehow tricked everyone into thinking he was Data for the rest of the series.
It's good you threw the mini-skirt bit on there, because we wouldn't want *shudder* Dr. Pulaski (st:tng replacement for crusher during season 3 iirc) ending up on that list.
It was season 2, and you should have seen her when she guest starred in a TOS episode. I believe it was called "Is There No Truth In Beauty". Damn fine brunette in her younger days.
1. I can possibly see how a bunch of idiots were able to take down the WTC but the Pentagon? How hard is it exactly to use radar and determine the flight path of a plane? What about missile intercepts?
Unfortunately, just about every plane taking off or landing at Washington's Reagan National Airport goes over the Pentagon. There wasn't enough time between them realizing they weren't trying to land and the plane crashing to do much of anything about it.

No. I was asking the poster to cite examples of non-capitalistic countries that had as much of a starting chance to be successful as the US did (i.e. natural resources, soci-political position to take advantage of the industrial revolution, etc.) and yet did not succeed. Basically, I'm asking what any well-trained experimental scientist would ask for, controls to rule out the influence of other variables. With the evidence I've seen, the amount of resources the US had to start with is a much better explanation of its success than its economic philosophy, especially siince it hasn't been following it very closely recently.
The seams on the outside won't bulge because the pressure in the sealed cockpit will not be affected by the pressure drop in the passenger compartment. The most that would happen would be the seams on the wall between the cockpit and the cabin would bulge, if they aren't as strong as the outside walls of the airplane. This would happen anyway, with the wall that is currently in place between the cockpit and the cabin on most airplanes.
Yes. The jews do not have a history of trying to exterminate people they don't like. They have a history of killing people who bother them first. They don't believe they have a religious mandate to conquer the world.
Oh please. Read the Bible. There are numerous accounts of entire cities being wiped out because it was God's will for the Hebrews to live there. And for more recent examples, look at what is happening in the disputed territories. Israeli terrorists are killing more Palestinians than the other way around, mainly because we supply them weapons. The only reason you don't hear about it is because it is not politically correct to put Jews in a bad light. And yes they do have a religious belief that they will one day rule the world. It is part of the messianic tradition. Some day, God in the form of the messiah will come down and set up "the kingdom of God".
So we just let them exterminate the jews? I can't support this position. What if they decide to attack us because we don't *support* them?
Letting Israelies exterminate Palestinians is equally unsupportable. And I don't see China or England or Canada being attacked because they don't take sides.
In short, there is no moral reason to favor one side over the other in the Israeli - Palestinian conflict. There are fundamentalists on both sides that have committed, and continue to commit, atrocities. So please leave your anti-Muslim bigotry out of this discussion.

Please give an example of a non-capitalist country that was in a wealthy enough position to have a significant portion of their workforce have enough free time to be inventors during the times these things were being created. And to quell your next argument, please give an example of a non-capitalist country that started out with the wealth of natural resources that the US did which enabled it to become the economic ruler of the world.
Without these examples, you have no basis for assuming that the economic philosophy of a country affects in any way the wealth, and therefore inventiveness, of that country. Your thought experiment doesn't have adaquate controls.
Your logic can be applied to the Jews as well. Do you think they would stop until they have exterminated the muslims? Even if your argument is valid, which I dispute, I don't see how it has any bearing on my point. My point was that Muslim fundamentalists (if they were behind this attack at all) are not attacking us in order to take us over, but are attacking us in order to try to get us to stop supporting Israel. Maybe we should stop sticking our nose where it doesn't belong, and they would stop attacking us.
Yeah! That's what Chamberlain thought about Hitler. Just be nice to him. Maybe it's really everyone elses fault he's a baddie? Give him what he wants and don't rock the boat.
False analogy. Hitler was not attacking Europe for religious reasons, or because Europe was oppressing them. Hitler attacked Europe because he and the German people felt they had the power to take over the world.
These Muslim fundamentalists, on the other hand, are doing it for religious and emotional reasons. Do you really think America could have sunuffed out the Civil Rights movement in the 60's by killing a lot of blacks?
You don't have to release nitrous oxide, all you have to do is depressurize the cabin about halfway. You would of course have to have some way of preventing the release of the gas masks.
Seems pretty simple to me. People have been talking about strengthening the cockpit door. Why not ust remove it all together? Make the only way to get into the cockpit be from the outside of the plane. This solution would stop a passenger from taking over the controls in the event of both the pilot and copilot dying, but how likely is that to happen anyway?
I don't think that biological weapons could have survived the 1600 degree Fahrenheit(sp?) blaze that the jet fuel fire created. Chemical weapons, maybe. Biological weapons, I doubt it.

I would think it would support at least UFS, because iTunes 2 has a Carbon version, and OS X can run on a UFS volume.
