how do you know there were no fire breathing dragons? dragons are nothing more than big reptiles (aka dinosaurs, in which that term wasnt used until the mid 1800s) how do you know there wasnt a dinosaur with a defense mechanism like the bombardier beetle?
about the lack of updates thanks to WinAmps demise are usually the same people complaining about the bloat that comes out with the new versions. WinAmp 2.x works fine, doesnt have blaot and didnt self destruct when new versions of WinAmp were released
"the news media projects outcomes based on the theory that a well informed electorate is a key component of an effective democracy."
why should California know how Florida voted until after the election is over? what is the electorate being informed of? that their candidate may or may not be winning so they are more/less inclinded to try and make it to the polls?
why does the news media "project winners" before all of the polls are closed? If, according to exit polls a candidate is winning/losing, it might affect how people in states where the polls are still open vote.
In other words, I do it to try and screw up their process
thats the reason I bought more CDs when Napster was in full force, I could previw the whole CD and THEN decide if I want the music, that way I'm not baseing my purchase on one song that is pushed by the industry...
Its the economy stupid! obviously those at the top didnt see that millions of jobs were lost because of the economic downturn that was accelerated thanks to 9/11...
hmmm, food or the new Britny Spears CD... tough call
You're a marine, one of Earth's toughest, hardened in combat and trained for action. Three years ago you assaulted a superior officer for ordering his soldiers to fire upon civilians. He and his body cast were shipped to Pearl Harbour, while you were transferred to Mars, home of the Union Aerospace Corporation.
The UAC is a multi-planetary conglomerate with radioactive waste facilities on Mars and its two moons, Phobos and Deimos. With no action for fifty million miles, your day consisted of suckin' dust and watchin' restricted flicks in the rec room.
For the last four years the military, UAC's biggest supplier, has used the remote facilities on Phobos and Deimos to conduct various secret projects, including research on inter-dimensional space travel. So far they have been able to open Gateways between Phobos and Deimos, throwing a few gadgets into one and watching them come out the other.
Recently, however, the Gateways have grown dangerously unstable. Military "volunteers" entering them have disappeared or been stricken with a strange form of insanity -- babbling vulgarities, bludgeoning anything that breathes, and finally suffering an untimely death of full-body explosion. Matching heads with torsos to send home to the folks became a full-time job. Latest military reports state that the research is suffering a small set-back, but everything is under control.
A few hours ago, Mars received a garbled message from Phobos. "We require immediate military support. Some fraggin' evil is coming out of the Gateways! Computer systems have gone berserk!" The rest was incoherent. Soon afterwards, Deimos simply vanished from the sky. Since then, attempts to establish contact with either moon have been unsuccessful.
You and your buddies, the only combat troop for fifty million miles were sent up pronto to Phobos. You were ordered to secure the perimeter of the base while the rest of the team went inside. For several hours, your radio picked up the sounds of combat: guns firing, men yelling orders, screams, bones cracking, then finally, silence. Seems your buddies are dead.
It's Up To You
Things aren't looking too good. You'll never navigate off the planet on your own. Plus, all the heavy weapons have been taken by the assault team leaving you with only a pistol. If only you could get your hands around a plasma rifle or even a shotgun you could take a few down on your way out. Whatever killed your buddies deserves a couple of pellets in the forehead. Securing your helmet, you exit the landing pod. Hopefully you can find more substantial firepower somewhere within the station.
As you walk through the main entrance of the base, you hear animal-like growls echoing throughout the distant corridors. They know you're here. There's no turning back now.
schools do not NEED interent connections or computers, with a large % of people coming out of school illiterate, I would think that schools need to concentrate on the basics first!

I burn mp3s to a CD and play that in my 5 disk DVD/CD/MP3 changer. I dont mess with video from my computer and dont care what is on TV.
I let this run its course... I dont tell them who I voted for, I do not answer their question...
"You are trying to influence an election"
nope, Im trying to prevent someone else from influencing the election.

unless your "local band" is Aerosmith or other mainstream act, your tickets are going to run about 8.00-15.00

"Ive deleted all my mp3s" (cause you never know the person asking the questions might have a lawsuit written up by the RIAA in their back pocket...
personally I deleted all my mp3s... right after I burned them to CD
ok, I must be missing something here, but what was wrong with the earthlink question?
