If you were going to fool with that much money, why not an automated latex spraying chamber, input your desired face and the "3d printer" spits out a hollywood style latex face overlay.
i have a suggestion, instead of conceptualizing god as a sapient, thinking mind, try imagining HIM as order, as in order vs. chaos
this assumes that all the direct quotes. "...and the lord said..." are the work of human interpretation
now, re-read genesis and substitute "order" for the words god, lord and whatnot
i trust in logic and rational thought, not faith. and thus have a hard time believing in an omniscient superbeing, however i like to live my life by the golden rule...because its the right thing to do
this makes sense to me, sort of. if the universe is ever-expanding, doesnt it stand to reason that all matter contained in said universe would be getting less dense?
here in southwestern ontario (canada)
we have ADSL from our monolithic phone company@128/1500 kbps
and the QOS is fairly decent
also the local cable co. offers a similarly priced package ($40cdn) @ approx. 256/3000 kbps
hear hear,
i havent paid for music in 10 years. ill happily support the artists, by attending their concerts and such, but pay the industry cartels? i think not.
The congressman (or MP here in Canada) will *never* draft laws protecting said INDIVIDUALS because said INDIVIDUALS do not have the $$$ or the manpower to form the requisite lobby. end of story.
I read on one of the tech sites, (ars, or tom's or whatever) a paragraph that contained a very interesting idea.
Transmeta's groundbreaking chip technology has demonstrated to all the value of a software abstraction layer.
Consider the entire x86 architecture;
Would it be well served by inserting just such a layer into common INTEL and AMD desktop and server platforms?
Perhaps this would make a half decent Ask Slashdot?

bullshit...the root of the problem is the corporation

im suprised there is no Microsoft on that list...
and moz 131 behaves exactly the same way
on the other hand... does mr reeves deserve 20+ million or somesuch for a bit of acting?
someone here recently wrote that living in canada was akin to a loft above a great party, but i dont think that is quite right
more like the toilet seat in a porta-john, when the bastard overflows... you still get covered in shit
i dunno about the Longshoreman's Union, but here in canada the unions are just as corrupt and diseased as the corporations that spawned them

oh, i hear that ;(
it seems to me that the problem here runs deeper than the latest "what rights did we lose this week" issue
the problem is that within the american system the immoral, greedy bottomfeeder naturally rises to the apex of the power structure
be it politics, religion or business, the system encourages those who are willing to discard their own personal beliefs for money
i can wholeheartedly agree with that
that doesnt sound appaling at all, i wish that the canadian government had the foresight to set up something like that here
that solution seems better than 20 minutes of "content" and 10 minutes of ads that we have now
the Canadian Broadcast Corp. (our version of BBC) wouldnt be terminally on the edge of closing their doors due to funding issues
plus, it's opt-out, dont own a tv? dont pay.
there is no opt-out when it comes to advertising on virtually any other medium
