  1. Re:Cutting ISS Funding on Big Changes In Proposed U.S. Space Budget · · Score: 0
    but I think the United States needs to realize that this is an international project and that they have to keep up with the other countries involved.


    Why don't you do a little research to who has pony up the most money for this? And who we have also floated the bill for.

    Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Need help packing? Hell I'll drive your ass theer if you promise to revoke your citizenship and never come back.

  3. Yes but still.. on Jedi == Religion In NZ · · Score: 1
    I was using Priest and such as an example. My point is both Jedi and Sith believe and study the samething. "The Force" So it is still incorrect to say your religion is Jedi or jedism, since Jedi/Sith are the people mastering "The Force" I guess thats what I am trying to say. Just believing it is not enough.. I mean Luke had to train to become a Jedi, And to teach it you must become a Jedi Master. Much like many of the people who lead institutes of whatever religion must master thiers. I also don't understand how it is unfair to compare a Jedi/Sith to lets say a Priest. They Both Instruct thier charges on the "religon"
    to my knowledge at any rate, there is no Jedi god
    no there is no Jedi/Sith gods but they had explained it, albit poorly that the force was Medechloriens or Tiny organisms in EPI
  4. Jedi Can't be a religion on Jedi == Religion In NZ · · Score: 2

    Just as you can't say I practice Priest or Rabbi. Jedi is the the person who trains in the way of the force. If anything "The Force" would be your religion Since the Sith also train with the same "religion", just the darkside of it. I can see it now.. people reconize it as a religion and in EpIII the Sith can sue for religious persecution

  5. I was in the same boat on Getting The Most Out Of Co-Op Programs? · · Score: 1

    That is basically what happend to me when I started out many moons ago. My 1st job was in support, I was hired because of my knowledge. By the time I left we had to read every response off a screen from thier supported data base, and were not allowed to troubleshoot on our own. If it wasn't on the screen we couldn't help. The 1st day that went into effect was my last day there. Since I have moved onto bigger and better things. Everyonce in awhile I call back with a "new set of problems" when I start hating my job, Then I remember it could be worse.

  6. Re:Not a Shocker on Human Genome Confirms Evolution · · Score: 1

    If that is how it works then it should make no difference if we pollute the skies and seas if life will continue to evolve and adapt to it's changing environment? Evolution works fine until you enter one equation, humans. we upset the balance of nature. So if we evolve and adapt why should I care about how much emissions my car put's out.. and further more where do our set of morals come from.. why is it wrong for me to go out and run over a child? If there is no higher being or someone to answer to then we are nothing better then wild animals and the law of nature should still apply. It shouldn't make a bit of difference if we have opposable thumbs and figured out how to open doors first. So tell me where does the thought of killing is wrong come from? The law.. what if a law was passed that killing was acceptable, Would it no longer be wrong? And if that doens't come from Law and we have evolved to the point where we deem killing is wrong how come we are the only species so far to come to that point? House cats which are cared for and fed still will kill a mouse,birds or bugs if they get the chance.

  7. Re:what about the noise? on Cross The Atlantic Ocean In 3 Days - By Ship · · Score: 1

    Sonar is Echoed off the hall of the ship, I don't think noise of an engine is is going to effect it much..maybe, I am not a Sonar expert.

  8. Re:Wait till it's cracked on Speeding To Become Impossible In UK? · · Score: 1

    Actually I beg to differ, Every other year you have to take your car in for emissions(here in the states).. it would be just as easy for them to test or check for tampering and to make sure it responds as it should.. but then again if you "fixed" it then I am sure you should be able to put it back into "working" order.. unless they decided to start sending it live updates like DirectTV did..

  9. Re:Wait till it's cracked on Speeding To Become Impossible In UK? · · Score: 1

    Thats why i mentioned it being similar, and not being controled by GPS and Zone, Though I did not know they were optional.. But I did know many places do set the speed lower then the Local speed limit though..

  10. Re:People will go for it. on Speeding To Become Impossible In UK? · · Score: 1

    You want to see axamples of this come to Seattle, Where people will come to a almost complete stop just to swtich lanes on the Freeway, I have had people tell me this happens all over, but I grew up in Arizona, spent at least 5 years driving there.. and not once did I ever see this happen, nor on many of my trips to LA. The rudest drivers I ever met are here in Seattle, and your lucky if you can get the car moving fast enough to hit the speed limit during the day

  11. Re:Wait till it's cracked on Speeding To Become Impossible In UK? · · Score: 2

    Well more then likely they will make it so if it isn't running(sending or recieving) or tampered with the car no longer runs. My father is a Truck Driver here in the states and they already have a system sorta similar in place and have forawhile on 18 Wheelers.. though it is not controled by GPS and Zones. You hit a Certian speed and you can not accelerate until it drops below that set speed. Oh and there will still be patollers, still be a lot of old cars on the streets, I pass them on the way to work!
