Whether millions of years are needed depends on your definition of "evolution".
The Giant Canada Goose was considered extinct decades...until some were found around Rochester, Minnesota. Why were they there? A power plant pond in the city was kept warm all winter, providing a haven which some birds rarely left. The flocks which now clutter suburban grasslands are probably from those Rochester city geese which were willing to live among humans and cars. The birds which stayed away from cities died.
Also remember that we've had several glacial periods recently on this planet. 15,000 years ago the land where I live was frozen. I'm living in an environment which appeared recently -- first after the glacier left. The most recent significant change has been from the grassland prairie to an urban forest. I've heard more complaints about preserving these trees than about burning them and restoring the prairie here as it was a mere hundred years ago.
Well, it will be the first sample captured at a location outside the Moon's orbit by residents of this planet. Definitely not the first captured by this planet, nor by its residents.
Given that singing and speech aren't mediated by the same parts of the brain. In this book [amazon.com], there's examples of people who can sing sentences, but can't speak them.
There are people on this site that can type sentences but can't think about them.
Who really wants to search IRC, except the Justice Department?
The new guidelines, billed as a response to the September 11 terrorist attacks, permit the Bureau to engage in the "proactive collection of information on threats to the national security," displacing an older policy that obliged the FBI to have a specific investigative purpose before collecting information on individuals or groups. "FBI on look-out for foreign government hackers"
Government workers on IRC sounds like a good idea to me. The more time on IRC, the less time they're messing up important things.
Maybe there are mapping companies which process assorted GPS data. They probably prefer that their competitors not know about that data source. (Always consider when you're an amateur and there are professionals who have been thinking about it for years...)
I'd like to see the contract which gets the packages to travel only in trucks which are not covered with GPS-blocking metal. (Yes, I know of the UPS van skylights, but your package probably has to end up on the top shelf -- so ship even more packages...)
PC, or on a PDA such as the iPAQ from HP (formely from COMPAQ). It can use either the Gtk 1.2 , Gtk 2.0 or QT graphic library for its user interface. The Qt interface supports the Sharp's Zaurus PDA.
Has the USA Tiger street files. Needs work. Being worked on.

Check what pressure is being maintained on the ISS before you start your calculator.
I'll say they have no concern for the health of the crew. They told them about a leak just before bedtime.
It works. I never tape a duck with anything else.

So, how many companies just take the Microsoft C compiler without contributing back any improvements to it?
Amusing as that phrase may be to the spam king, the correct spelling is "free rein". As when letting the horse go where it wants to.

Engauge, a digitizer for maps and images.
Apparently it can follow a line and emit coordinates.
The U.S. Government already has recently updated maps of Iraq. And has lots of guys driving around and updating coordinates.
