Look at what they did to "Global Test", a 64 word sentence that explains EXACTLY what it means, and then turning into a "what did he meant by that!?!?".
No, I think it's very clear what he meant by that. He wants his decisions to be supported by the UN and EU. But then, why did he vote against the first gulf war when the UN and most of the EU (before it was the EU) was in favor of it and we a had a very broad coalition? We certainly passed the "global test" there.
When France, Germany and Russia are bribed by the next oil rich dictator... we'll do what exactly? We can't pass that "global test", that's for sure.
It still should be taught, but along side computer usage and without strict usage of the "home keys".
For most advanced computer users using the "non-letter" keys and the ability to quickly delete characters is a must. I find my right hand tilted up towards the backspace and []\-= keys. I find myself using my pointer and middle finger to cover the most of the letters on the right side of the keyboard (those two finger typcially hover over the K and L) and my pinky and ring finger covering the other charcters (on the right side). Not the official way of doing things, but I don't know anyone (coworker or friend) who types faster.
You don't see the bigger picture. The idea that they're working towards is to be able to hibernate for long periods of time, without the ill effects.
Obviously hibernating for 100 years is something off in the future, and I'd be suprised to see it possible in the next 30-40 years, but I'd be pretty suprised if we can't put someone in a sleep like state for a month or two by 2010-2015 and have minimal ill effects. Sleeping or a coma is not the same as hibernating. True hibernating animals (unlike the bear, which doesn't hibernate, but just sleeps deeply) typically exhibit exceptionaly decreased metabolism and many times have their body temps drop to just a few degrees above freezing.
If you had RTFA you would have seen that some very preliminary work they've done has already shown decreased cell activity. There's nothing "magical" about it.
From wiki: Many physicists, including Stephen Hawking (see Hawking's Chronology Protection Conjecture), believe that due to the problems a wormhole would theoretically create, including allowing time travel,
Hawking now believes the opposite. Part of the recent black hole hoopla was that space/time travel in this matter wouldn't work.
This type of research is the future of human space exploration, at least for the forseeable future. Sorry, but light speed, or anything near light speed, just isn't going to happen anytime soon. The only downside to this is that the space traveler may seem like the trip only lasted a short time period, when it in fact took 10 years. By the time he gets back home his family will have aged 20 years. It actually may be the closest we get to time travel as well (want to see the future? just hybernate for 100 years).
How about the nano-fibers they're going to produce to increase strength by 25-30%? I'm assuming they'll actually figure that one out at about the same time we get our flying cars.
Ok, some of this stuff would be pretty damn rad. And the idea that the combat gear that will be available in 2020 will "absorb unlimited numbers of machine-gun rounds" is all nice and everything (although, the fact that Jean-Louis "Dutch" DeGay keeps dropping the word "nanotechnology" makes me hesitant). But how the hell is this all going to be powered? Health monitors, WAN, radio, fancy optical display, etc, plus all of the other gear they need (lights, night-vision, etc), plus a power supply of some sort (battery/solar?) all super rugid and topping out at 50 pounds (~23 KG). I wish them the best, but right now, I don't think so.
The difference here is that id designed Doom3 with the Xbox in mind. Doom3 on Xbox is supposed to be very good (and include Co-op play). I plan on picking up a copy for the PC and Xbox.
Prince Bandar and his Saudi friends are currently in control of America via a proxy named George Bush. If you've seen Farenheit 9/11 you know what I'm talking about.
Yes, I know what you're talking about. And if you actually believe that Farenheit 9/11 was in anyway truthful, or based on any facts at all... come on now. F9/11 is a clever propaganda piece. And like most propagana, there is no room for truth.
If F9/11 is a documentary, then Jackass is a documentary too. Actually, Jackass was much more of a documentary than F9/11.
it's unfortunate, because, while I like to be a jackass every once in a while, I'm not trolling (typically). I throw out a lot of comments that are against the whole slashdot groupthink, and that gets me temp-banned from time to time, which is annoying.

OHOHOHOHOHO! you are awesome!
LOXOROX!
LOL! So, what you're claiming is Bush has caused an increase in Hurricanes? Give me a fucking break. THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW WAS A MOVIE!
I like Art Bell and Coast to Coast AM as much as the next geek, but it's 99.9999% BS.
What is that? Arabic?
Which ones? The ones that voted for Bush 3:1 over Kerry?
Or the random one that ABCNNBCBS/NY Times/Washington Post seems to find every once in a while to push their agenda?

How about Mad Dog?
Now go back to sniffing young girls underwear. No, you'll never get a women to sleep with you (without paying her)
In Japan!
Kinda gives a new meaning to '1337 hAx0r2'.
What, so instead of "Fucking tool" it now will mean "Fucking tool who's in jail for aiming a sniper rifle at someone"?
you're an idiot. Theyre studying the animals to learn how to put people farther out into space
Fucking twat.
