I'm not a Christian Scientist (or even a Christian), but the 'Christian Science Monitor' has some good articles. I'm not a great fan of capitalism in its current form, but the 'Economist', again, contains good journalism.
What's the news value of material produced by the 'National Vanguard'? That should be the metric used, otherwise any idiot with a blog can complain that they're being censored if they're not included. Why, occasionally I've even seen Slashdot stories on the Google News front page...
If he saw an opportunity to make more money by killing off the PC, I'm sure he'd be doing it. (Of course, he might not tell J. Random Interviewer about it.)
What's garbage for you is the same as what's garbage for me
You can say this, but it doesn't mean that everyone will agree with you. Especially when you try to impose your standards on them against their wishes.
That's diplomatic immunity for you, which is, strangely enough, why you'll see diplomatic staff on external postings behaving badly the world over -- because they can get away with it, up to a certain level. It's definitely not something unique to the UN.
Whether a VP (for instance) can take over and then be elected twice, I don't know.
If their first (unelected) term is less than 2 years, yes, otherwise not. From further down on the page you linked to:
Under the amendment, no person may be elected president more than twice. Furthermore, no vice president or other person who has succeeded to the presidency, and served as president or acting president for more than two years, may be elected president more than once. Consequently, the amendment, while limiting a person to two elected four-year terms as president, theoretically does allow a person to serve up to ten years in office. If a person serving as vice president succeeds to the presidency, and serves for less than two years of the original president's term, he or she may still be elected twice and thus serve a total of ten full years in office.
Depends how large your glass is, of course. Given that the food serving sizes in the US are larger than many other countries (or so I'm led to believe) I imagine you'd drink larger servings as well.
The other funny thing is that John Howard is claiming that Australia has met all of its targets under the Kyoto treaty. IIRC, that would be because his Minister for the Environment threw a big tantrum during the negotiation and threatened to walk out unless Australia was allowed to increase its emissions by 10% over the time in question...
It's a high moral ground thing. People who live in greenhouses -- oops, glass houses -- shouldn't throw stones, and that's what Americans look like when they criticise others' abuse of the environment.
Yeah, I looked at the DS and thought "Nice system. I'll probably get one when there are some decent games for it." Of course, I bought an Atari Lynx on launch, but I was a lot younger then (and the games out for that at launch time and in the next few months were bloody good:)
I'm working on a new picture about the dehumanising nature of death. Based on a treatment by Mishima, but you wouldn't know the cast -- most of them got their start in Ancient Greek dramas. Distribution has been very hard to work out, though...
Yes, and of course it never would have occurred to terrorists to poison the water supply or infiltrate nuclear power plants or destroy the Holland tunnel if they hadn't heard someone discussing those possibilities on Fox News either.
Well, that should get you a call from the Secret Service... oops, and me too! Oh no, thoughtcrime!:)
I think you're right... Looking Glass didn't quite go bankrupt, but their games weren't huge sellers and Ion Storm Dallas was burning through Eidos's cash like there was no tomorrow, so Eidos bet the farm on Daikatana.
Looking Glass were twisting in the wind for a while before closing, as well... couldn't get approval for a new game, weren't sure how long they would be funded for, etc.

Weeks? Are you sure you don't mean years?
Obviously I need to spend more of my hard-earned money on a faster internet connection. Well, any excuse will do, I guess...
Really, how hard is it to use the search first?
Slimeworld was great, but I really loved Chip's Challenge. Hard on the later levels, though.
stay faithful to the original spirit
I don't remember Tolkien including quite so many dwarf jokes.
Don't buy a casket for yourself... something tells me they'd see through that one.
how do you reasonably define a monopoly?
I'm willing to follow the courts on this one.

ASIO is our version of the FBI (internal), ASIS is our CIA (external).

BTW, on Googling I'm getting values about half those quoted. Dessert wines, etc. are of course higher in calories.

"Our words are backed by nuclear weapons!"
:)
Civilization (the original version), I think it was. Great game.
Many doctors claim that a couple of glasses of red wine each day with a meal is actually more beneficial to the the health than abstaining.
Of course, this does match the drinking habits of most doctors I know, so take it with a grain of salt...
You get the football. After all, isn't that about how much you pay for a season ticket these days? :)

I might miss great movies like Dr. Strangelove
Thanks!
