If by "use" you mean "test", you might be correct. But if you're implying that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were H-bombs, you are mistaken. they were A-bombs. H-bombs are hydrogen fusion bombs. the two ww2 nukes were fission weapons.

good point. i never noticed that ham slice wasn't on that menu. odd, as i remember eating it at the airborne school this last august. which is a story in itself...
i was actually sitting in the harness shed tuesday morning, 11sept01. the company commander came out, crying, to tell us the news about the WTC and pentagon. we proceeded to load up the aircraft, and i was strapped into the C-17 Globemaster when SGT Airborne told us we were grounded and couldn't jump.
ditto. on our last FTX, we had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, and a dinner roll. it was very nice. much better than i eat when i'm at home. it wasn't all we had, either. we were provided Hot A's for breakfast, too.
the best way i've found to cook an MRE is such: open tobasco. pour tobasco in meal. stir. meal cooked in about 5 seconds.

well that, and the veggie mre's tend to be pretty dang good, imho. even though i'm not a veggie, i'll often trade a non-veggie one for a veggie one if the other guy doesn't want it.

in my experience, cheese torellini is one of the better ones. i often times trade for it, when the opportunity arises. its pretty good, imho. so i apparently don't agree that it suffers from this "problem" thing.
after eating quite a few (at the least, a hundred) MREs, i have only encountered two that i don't like: the bean and rice burrito, and the chili macaroni.
i don't like the charms candie that sometimes come with them, too, but most of the time you get skittles (yes, the actual brand name). m&ms are the best, though, because they're rare.
eggs... i could care less about (i've never liked eggs, since before i can remember (being baby fed). i think its probably the sulfur). mac and cheese, i think would be cool to add to the menu.
as for the "Mr. E" meat; that's a misnomer in my opinion. i can tell between a ham slice and a beef steak and between most of the meats pretty well. but maybe that's just me
yeah. except, of course, all those anti-hydrogen atoms my physica professors talked about a couple years ago. and not as a theory, but as something that had been experimented on to see how its properties differred from regular hydrogen
you missed the point of the article. the point of the article is that the highest paying advertisers will have their ads shown first, in the ad section, not the query result section. it won't effect your actual search at all, only the two blatantly obvious ads that appear above your search results.
avifile uses some wine source to utilize win32 dll's to play stuff like windows media video. what prevents them from adding the windows dll for sorenson to it?
i've unfortunately been too lazy to fire off an e-mail and ask them how difficult it would be to add it to the project, else i'd think of doing it myself (unfortunately, i'm not a kung foo master yet... in fact, i'm almost inept as a programmer... but i'll whine about that later).

well, i'm not sure if it still applies, but when i worked for staples back in highschool (about 2 1/2 years ago) they only marked up software about $10, if even that.
so they'd sell a copy of Win98SE for $89.95, but they paid $80 for it. (actually, for 98se, i think staples payed $82.25 for it, but i don't recall exactly).
now, i'm not sure how much of that $82 MS actually sees from the sale, but staples only sees about $5-10 for each software sale
between the VM issues in 2.4.[5-9] (iirc), and the big media fuss over the VM change in the.9->.10 transistion, then the FS corruption bug in.15. well, i'm glad i went from 2.4.5 to 2.4.12 and am still at it.

unfortunately, that's not always true.
i was a 4.0 student through most of high school. then i got a computer. i stopped doing my homework, and instead surfed the 'net. i'd play with verious things online, or with the computer, every chance i'd get instead of doing my homework.
now, in college, i can still quite well pay attention in class. but give me an internet connection, and i'll zone out and occupy my time quite wastefully
and i know that i, just like you, am not authoritative for the rest of the population. however, i am an example that these could be quite bad. just as you are an example on how they could be quite good.
