So are you calling for reparations? Isn't it just as racist to assume everyone who is of dark skin to be descended from slaves and that all light skinned people are descended from slave owners? How many generations will payments be required to make up for the past? How can it be proved that the person signing up for payments is actually descended from slaves? Are white people exempt if they can trace back the family line and determine that they were nor involved in slavery? Do those whites have to prove that their ancestors also did not hire the services of slave owners? If a white and a black marry does this cancel out the claims of one and the obligations of the other?
Thats odd, because a couple years ago, when my wife had an emergency room visit transform into admission and gall bladder removal surgery, all we paid/were billed for, was the $75 emergency room copay.
I saw the actual medical bill.
A roughly twelve thousand dollar bill was reduced to about one thousand five hundred due to a "medical insurance discount" and then insurance paid all but $75 (our copay). I asked if that meant that if someone without medical insurance came in for the same thing they would have been billed the full amount, and I was told yes. So it looks to me that the poor and uninsured (who don't qualify for medicade or whatever) actually are being asked to pay about eight times as much.
Only one Power6 machine so far needs the water cooling thing and it is the 4.7 GHZ 575, due to the super dense cpu arrangement. The 5GHZ chip found in the 595 is not water cooled.
10 then in the case of recent Power processors. SMT is enabled by default, so as long as there are jobs waiting to run that use different registers then the main thread, they can run in the SMT thread.
The flip side of the coin are people like that French man who has only a thin layer of brain tissue on the inside of his skull, yet has had a (as I understand it) normal life.
I think the simple solution is to do all the Harry Harrison films we can.
Eden series = Jurassic park but in space/alternate history. Stainless Steel Rat series = Spy-Kids/Oceans # but in space. Bill the Galactic Hero = Catch 22 but in space. Death World series = total badassery but in space.
I agree with you on the Lathe of Heaven. One of my favorite storys. It was so horrifically gutted by A&E with the removal of... just about everything important to the story!
The invasion, and Heather's attempt to do something about it (sort of falling into the same trap Haber did) I think were pretty damn important, especially how things turn out.
If you can tolerate Anime, check out a film called Paprika, it deals with dreams and sort of goes a bit down the path of lathe.
"I thought the "I, Robot" movie was a fun re-imagining of the original Asimov story. "
How so? It was a screenplay that was completely unrelated at the start and all I can tell they did was shoehorn in the names and some basic concepts like the three laws and the positronic brains. From what I remember (and is have been a decade or two) when I last read it, the book was a collection of short stories each one exploring a way that the three laws could fail, not work as intended and morality involving sentient machines.
I saw little of them in the film, which I though was good, but the original film title would have worked just fine.
Original donkey idiom? Would that be the one where a sleazy guy asks me is I want to see a donkey show? The answer to your question is probably in a google unsafe search for "donkey show".
When I went into my study because I was having auditory hallucinations and would instantly fall into a deep dream if I was not careful (once while driving); it was discovered that I was not able to enter REM sleep for more then 2 minutes at a time. In the 4 hours they tested before activating the CPAP I had 400 interruptions.

All I want is the full story of what happened when that fish shop was opened on Dagon Street.

What do you mean? As someone else here said "Transformers was the best LEGO Bionacle movie ever!"
I have the same problem with finding Velvet Soup (the we don't intend to put it out on DVD part).

The Power6 CPU in question is dual core and each core can do SMT.
The 5GHZ chip is aircooled and found in the 595 system (hit IBM for details).
The water cooled Power 6 system is the super dense 575 with 32 cpus per drawer in a tightly packed arangement that requires the water cooling.
Only one Power6 machine so far needs the water cooling thing and it is the 4.7 GHZ 575, due to the super dense cpu arrangement. The 5GHZ chip found in the 595 is not water cooled.

IBM announced a 5GHZ (also available in 4.2GHZ) 595 April 8th.

She did good, but was not IMO as good as Barbara Kellerman did in the BBC adaption YMMV>

We sort of had that in Legend of the Galactic Heroes but I doubt it will ever see the light of day here.

Well that sorts out Scient-ology.
I remember when it meant putting in a new crystal and adding the "Turbo" switch.

Back in the day, all the cool BBS admins has Courier HST dual standard modems. If you managed to afford one, you were probably the envy of peers.
I remember the arguments back and forth over U.S. Robotics vs. Practical Peripherals.
I Arthur!
I have one that will do 120 (and I think some lower resolutions at 140).
A recent Myth Busters episode used them, so I'm putting money on people seeing that.

Not until the Temple of Cant does something about my party members being reduced to ash.
