Which works fine until they start combining advertisements directly into the video files.
I assume you are talking about the Iraq war and assassinating Saddam, but are assassin's really such a good idea? Many may say that Saddam deserved to be assassinated due to the torture and oppressive regime against his own people, but that's all relative. What about Bush? He hasn't done a lot to discourage torturing enemy combatant's and terrorists. Would it be okay for some other nation that has even stricter human rights standards than we do try to assassinate Bush? Many other nations in the world don't exactly view the US in the best possible light right now, and relatively speaking, they might view the US as just as bad as Iraq was/is. Many US citizens would think twice about preferring assassinations over conquest if assassinations were attempted against their president, but maybe that's just because it would be against their own president and not because of the moral edifications of assassinations in general.
Is there anyway that you can get that link to automatically open up in my browser without me having to do anything? I would click it myself, but my mouse is all the way over there and then once I get my hand on it I would also have to click it as well, which just seems like a lot of hassle.
It is said that the all-mighty FSM's Holy Noodles are never ending, so He can therefore not be devoured by anyone or anything. So no, there is no way for Cthulhu would be able to devour the FSM.
For the record, starship troopers was pretty awesome. I just hope that if Hollywood does do mote in god's eye, that they get someone to direct it who can do it right, like Uwe Boll.

They aren't so much against smokers killing themselves, as they are against smokers killing others. At least that's how it is right now with bars and other public places banning it. Though that is changing with law-makers now thinking that they know what's best for you and trying to ban it everywhere.
Which game? the original starcraft, or the newer warcraft series?
One of the best things about the franchise, is that blizzard usually makes available map editing tools so that you can make your own campaigns and missions if you want, or download and play other peoples campaigns.
We can just promise that anyone else can get away with trespass or breaking and entering when they search your house.
Can get away with it as far as the police are concerned, but not always as far as the victim is concerned, especially an armed victim. That's why we have the 2nd amendment.
When Microsoft starts trying to autorun executables after a USB disk is plugged in, then I'll be scared - your USB ports will now be as dangerous as your CD and DVD drives.
Assuming of course that you still have autorun enabled. One of the first things you should do after installing windows is to disable all of that unecessary garbage.
Another problem I have is that since about version 1.3 (or earlier?), Mozilla, and later Firefox, have been unstable and crashing a lot (e.g. once or twice a week under heavy load). I don't know is this is a Linux-only issue (I only use Red Hat 9 and Fedora core 2), but they seem to have a memory leak and that's not good if it creeps into the 1.0 release.
It's not just a Linux issue; a friend of mine sees it on Windows XP, too.
Keep in mind that these are two different bugs. His is crashing under heavy load (which, incedently, has happened to me several times), while what your describing probably isn't even a memory leak.
And btw, this textbox glitch is fixed in the latest firefox release.

Actually, IIRC, most astronomers now believe that the reason that mars doesn't have an atmosphere is because of a reverse runaway greenhouse effect.
Mars is just far enough away from the sun that the CO2 from its atmosphere started to condense into the rocks and water (which was present at the time this was happening), this caused the temperature to lower, causing more CO2 to go away, lowering the temp and so on. This also explains why Venus has a thick hot atmosphere. You can find more if you google for it.
There actually was going to be a starcon 4 at one point, but then it got canned right before its completion. I remember downloading some movies of it a long time ago (opening sequence and some fight scenes), but can't find the site that I got it off of. You may want to try googling for it. From what I remember of the movies, it looked like a pretty good game, at least graphics wise.
The problem with doing that is the fact that you would probably end up spending far more on propane to keep the balloon up, than it would cost to be on the internet. Even the most costly internet service you can find would be cheaper than keeping a balloon up. A single 3hr ride costs about 200$, not to mention the fact that people might get suspicious about that balloon that is always hovering over their house. Good luck finding a way to make doing that profitable.

The website that was supposed to have the updates is gone. You wouldn't happen to have/be willing to post a backup of the updates, would you?

consider The Ending Song to be one big spoiler;
What ending song? I thought it ended when you went into the fire!?
It almost feels like a formula

Where we can get fearless, immortal, FLYING mice, then I'll be excited.
That's simple enough. Just use all of these breakthroughs on pigeons. Sure, they're more of a rat than a mouse, but thats just being pedantic. ^_^
Know any good mirroring software for winxp?

My board doesn't use nForce2, and yet I was affected.
Sorry to tell you this, but you are wrong.
It doesn't seem to crash 0.9.3 on Win2k3.
Firefox is immune to it. It only crashes when I try it in mozilla.
