Oh I agree with your point, and I understand how Scientology takes advantage of people. I as just trying to point out that it wasn't unique as an organized religion that attempts to gain power of people by the use of secret universe-unlocking knowledge.
There are such books. There are books in the Vatican library that only the anointed pope may open.
They probably deal with Jesus smoking dope
If Scientology didn't make itself this huge juicy target I wonder if they'd attack any of the more longstanding religions, which deserve it even more imho
We know for a fact the weight of celestial objects effects things here on earth with the moon effecting the tide. A womans period is oddly the same timeframe it takes the moon to go through its phases. Maybe in a million years science will be able to track and prove that miniscule gravitional forces throughout the universe does have a small effect on our perception of reality and therefor our disposition to life.
As to it predicting that all people born in late February or early March finding true love today... of course not...
If by 'terrorism' you means someone that wants to undermine the current U.S. government, return control back to the people and get this free country back on its path to allowing the people personal freedoms...
Then yea, this article pisses me off too... I think we're being monitored...
Why don't you take a look at gun statistics. Tough gun laws only disarm innocent civilians from protecting themselves. Ie WashingTon D.C., some of the toughest gun laws in this country, some of the worst gun crime.
Did you hear about that deranged killer who killed all those innocent people in Switzerland? Strange neither did I...
Don't forget the worst school killing in American history was done with TNT. And the worst school killing in Great Britian was done with a knife.
Oh, and allied forces seized all the guns in Iraq back in 2003. Good thing we did that or we might of had some soldiers killed over there.
Use force? Google is providing a free service for this company by listing their website on the front of news.google.com It's the company using force because they think they're losing out on something. If they're wrong they're gonna have to take it down anyway no? And when the company notices that 80% of the traffic to their site disappears when google takes them down...
Google should just stop listing the offended site. I know it sets up precedence in court, but Google should just stop crawling the site. See how long before the sites' hits drop so low they start begging Google to list them again.
Yes I remember that because in Terminator (not futureshock but still Bethesda) in one of the post-apocalyptic city maps you were able to go inside an office building labeled 'Bethesda'. Great game. Yes it was almost too open, but I'd rather have something too open, then something so closed off it becomes a FPS mockery of a side scrolling game, which some games are. I remember in the vehicles you could start driving up very steep cliffs and just take off across the map.
I just don't like how they say PC instead of what they're really referring to. Can't they say 'I'm the other operating system'. A PC fits into any of those pitfalls only when it's operating system lets it.
This is all hype in my opinion. There probably will be attacks against VOIP banks but they won't be as mentioned. Each VOIP Provider has their own code they use, I don't see how one virus is going to spread through more then the one system it was designed on/for. The attacks will be denial of service attacks most likely.
Michael Palin:
You were lucky! We lived for three months in a rolled-up newspaper in a septic tank! We used to have to go up every morning, at six o'clock and clean the newspaper, go to work down the mill, fourteen hours a day, week in, week out, for six pence a week, and when we got home, our dad would slash us to sleep with his belt!
Graham Chapman:
Luxury! We used to have to get up out of the lake at three o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot grubble, work twenty hours a day at mill, for two pence a month, come home, and dad would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!
Terry Jones:
Well, of course, we had it tough! We used to have to get up out of the shoebox in the middle of the night, and lick the road clean with our tongues! We had to eat half a handful of freezing cold grubble, work twenty-four hours a day at mill for four pence every six years, and when we got home, our dad would slice us in two with a breadknife!
Eric Idle:
Right! I had to get up in the morning, at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill and pay millowner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our dad would kill us and dance about on our graves, singing Hallelujah!
I've been a long time SuSE supporter and always pushed that it was great for an end user and great for any number of server configurations. Whatever the deals outcome may be I'm definetly not going to stop using it (personally) for fear of microsoft. I've long thought that SuSE may be one that could give end users a good incentive to switch away from microsoft, when Novell bought them I was even more excited (never been a big novell fann though). I'm not going to start running until I see them coming over the top of the hill at me.... and even then I plan to throw a couple rocks first...
Slashdot Mirror
now we'll just have to barely skim the summary before making informative posts
NOT!

Which in turn turns out to be bad science fiction

I think that any country that spawns terrorists should be bombed...
:p
Starting with the one Timothy McVeigh came from
If by 'terrorism' you means someone that wants to undermine the current U.S. government, return control back to the people and get this free country back on its path to allowing the people personal freedoms ...
... I think we're being monitored ...
Then yea, this article pisses me off too
I think Data's moral program prohibits him from lying?
Just because bribery in this country is legal does not make it less evil
Push that shit back in your ass please.

I never thought I would root for Jack Thompson, but I hope he destroys Microsoft.

All depends who the victor is. Most likely the truth will be changed into fiction-fact.
That's where it's headed probably. White hats will be forced to keep their mouth shut and giggle to themselves.

We will be very, very angry with you North Korea and we will write you a letter, telling you how angry we are.
How many times has anyone had to switch from driving a team of horses to driving a car? Maybe once? Probably never?

A giant meatball slipped off that plate and thus our earth was born.
