i was in the corner 6 stand during this accident. there was no screen there, so i was sitting there calling ppl to find out what was going on. then, here comes the safety car, shortly followed by the medical car. reminded me of the shunt rb had coming out of 13, though rs definitely had the worst. it is a testament to the safety of these autos though. granted he fractured a couple of vertabrae, but he hit the wall backwards at 180mph. it is amazing the progress in safety since the untimely deaths of senna and ratzenberger in 1994. last year's race shows this as well. i had a clear view of the corner 1 fracas, and to see heidfeld climb out of his car after flipping as he did....
Back in the 80's good ole Tipper Gore ( yes former vp and leftist nutbag Al Gore's wife) put heavy metal music on trial (as in Salem Witch). It seemed that music was forcing America's youth to commit suicide. She was instrumental in creation of the PMRC and the end result of all of it is that we have warning labels on music.
This is ridiculous. Silence the debate?!?! Skepticism leads to debate, and ultimately leads to innovation and truth. Case: The world is flat. No it is not. Rabble Rabble. A journey is made to prove it. Truth is known. Case: The heavenly bodies revolve around the earth. Really?! I think not! Rabble Rabble. Innovations are made; telescopes, physics....And guess what happens? The truth: That the heavenly bodies revolve around the sun.
These scientists are just an example of a problem with the scientific community being over run by zealots, as in religious zealots. Difference? I think not.

1. supreme authority 2. absolute ownership

If you do not like the country you are a citizen of, either work to change the system, or just leave. It is that simple. There is no, "Well, it is sooooo difficult to go anywhere else," or "The average person can't change anything in this country." It is exactly that type of apathy that leads to dictator style governments. That said, if you feel that strongly about your dislike of your country, or anything else for that matter, it should not make a difference how difficult it is to change it: You should have the determination and will to see it through. If not, you are a big part of the problems that make you dislike this country. BTW, would you like a nice brie, or perhaps a wheel of extra-sharp cheddar?
French society has problems with many things like this, and not because they are trying to "isolate" themselves, culturaly or otherwise. The French people are very proud of their heritage, and are concerned about the "Americanization" of said heritage. Picture this: A couple walks into a store anywhere in the United States, speaking a different language, maybe they are US citizens, maybe not. The first thing many think is "They are in our country, they should be speaking our language." How is this any different from many American's view of the French?
imola april 29 - may 1 1994. those who follow formula one know the significance of this weekend: it was a weekend that saw roland ratzenberger, and ayrton senna (whom even nascars beloved dale earnhardt was very fond of) die in "a crash in a spectacular fashion". those who follow formula one will also remember the utter disgust felt of those who stood cheering in the stands when kimi raikkonen went off and into a wall at hockenheim at high speed in "a crash in a spectacular fashion". if you watch motor racing to see "a crash in a spectacular fashion", you need to have "a crash in a spectacular fashion", and see what this does to the drivers psyche.
I ran a tech bench at same retailer. I was there 3 1/2 years, until the end of January (same old "We don't think this is for you anymore..." thing). It took me 1 1/2 months to find a job, and now I am stuck in resturant hell. But hey, since my "departure", the GM and Sales Manager have "stepped down" from their positions (former bb employees know what I mean:) ), and ppl that have been there for years have been quiting and/or walking out. There is justice in this world!
Mitnick was held for quite some time without being formally charged: This is not right. However, he did commit a crime, and was punished for it: This is right. A law is a law regardless of how you feel about it. Don't agree with the law? Quit whining and work to change or rescind the law. Having the knowledge to commit a crime is very different from actually committing the crime. Remember, everyone is responsible for their own actions, and the consequences that arise from those actions.
Someone has taken advantage of a KNOWN expoit in Windows again, for which a patch had been released LAST YEAR (if what i am reading is correct). SO, who do you blame? Yes, Microsoft has quite a few serious coding issues with their OS, but how many patches are released for various *nix sustems on a daily basis? I use a mixed environment for my computing needs, and I d/l every patch i find for ALL my environments. Guess what? I have never experienced any vulnerabilities! People need to learn: THIS IS THE PRICE FOR LAZINESS! Point the finger at those who DO NOT keep their systems up to date. Just my $.02 worth......
who cares?!?!?! i am by no means a damned hippie, but this is the way things work in the natural world. species die out every day, some through our "work", some from their own. why should we be any different? deal with it!
Thank you for saying what had to be said. From perusing some of the posts here, however, my guess is most of these people aren't old enough to know who this great actor was.

Engineer: This new law will work! Just look at the drawings!
Anyone Else: Yeah, but x, y, and z will be factors affecting this law, and could cause issues when it is implemented.
Engineer: It...will....work! Just...look...at...the...drawings!!!
hmmm....Tipper Gore....PMRC.....Ring any bells? You know, heavy metal music was a leading cause of suicide, promiscuity, and drug use in the 80's.
renault has fallen WAY off pace this year.

Sounds like an attempted return of the Luddites to me.
Schumi actually won 2 of his titles BEFORE he went to Ferrari. He drove for Benetton and captured 94 and 95 titles with them.
94-95 Schumacher Benetton
96 Hill Williams-Renault
97 Villeneuve Williams-Renault
98-99 Hakinen McLaren-Mercedes
0-04 Schumacher Ferrari
Reasonable liberal?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......sorry. lost control there for a minute.

You ask this of us, and yet you post as a.c.?!?! KNAVE! Thou shouldst be drawn and quartered (in butter of course)!
You mean to say, that the venerable Slashdot actually existed before Linux?!?!? HAHAHAHAHA
Making 6 figures a year, and can't spell nostalgia correctly?!?!? Maybe THAT is why I can't find a job!
