Try to explain to a widow of a Saddam victim that the war is illegal.
Lets get her in a room with a widow of a Bush victim, get Gerry Springer in there, you got a show.
The war was illegal, the war was about weapons of mass destruction and after months of not finding any, they changed their story for "Booh Saddam! Bad bad Saddam!".
I see it worked great on some people...big powerpoint user are you?
Osama Bin Laden. he is the S.O.B. that attacked new york city.
Did they ever proove that?
I just remember that they had "secret proof" (wepons of mass destruction anyone?) at some point, and he was the alleged mastermind for a time, and then they dropped the alleged. They never showed any proof did they?
so the temperature rises and the fans speed up in an attempt to counteract it.
Nope, they speed up as soon as you take the cover off, they don't have time to warm up. And they slow down soon after that, so its not in preparation for a warm up...
You are not counting your losses, such as the time to fire up the app and find the song.
about 30 seconds, I count it in the time to get the song.
And lets add the time to warm up the car, drive to the mall, find a parking spot, walk in the mall to the music store, find the section I think what I want is in, look for the right letter of the alphabet, look through to see if its there. Think up of another letter of the title it might be in, look again, think of another section it might be in (its not in Rock, it might be in Alternative), repeat. THEN go ask a clerck, repeat. They don't have a copy, they sold their last copy two days ago, they might get more in a couple of weeks.
Yeah, MUCH more convenient than "click on iTunes (allready running, its my music player), select music store (1 second), wait for connection (2 or 3 seconds), type in part of the name of what I'm looking for, there it is!". That takes less time than finding a parking spot at the mall!
all for the "convienience" of downloading music ( which really doesn't take much less in terms of time overall than walking into a music store the next time you happen to be in the mall).
Lets see, downloading music: 2 minutes.
Next time I'll be in a mall...could be months.
Minutes...months... You're right, its allmost the same!
Yeah, cause that's the only place people are dying. How about Tibet? How about Africa, where millions die every year of starvation, malnutrition and AIDS?
Those aren't people, those are foreigners. (To some)
How about your own damned country?
Hey! They didn't invade a foreign country so that people would pay attention to domestic issues!
You better be carefull, with speech like that, you might attract the attention of the Total Information Awarness Ministry, and then its room 101 for you... That would be doubleplus ungood.
No, he was using the best tech available at the time, and he would be using the best tech available today if he were alive and well today (as opposed to alive, but old, decrepit and senile).
So the real question should be: Is digital better than film?
And no, I didn't RTFA. Using famous names to attract attention to our lil' articles is not something that will draw me in...
In order to satisfy the demands of the florida haitian community, Rockstar has degun devellopment in a time machine that will be used to go back in time in order to remove offensive content from their game.
The machine will then be used to back to the paleozoic era and Rockstar employees will then wipe out all life on earth as we know it, applying the only possible way to never offend anyone ever again.
If Sony wants this thing to be a big success they should put all their focus on making it developer-friendly. The easier it is to develop for = more games = more sales = more money...
Dude, the year 2000 called, they want their console-war argument back.
Back when nobody knew who would win, everyone predicted that Sony would be the big loosers because their console was harder to program for, and therefore the pc-ina-box would have tons more games and the "here, we've done most of the work for you" nintendo approach would mean more developpers spending more time on game play.
Turns out that lazy devs who go for the easy machines are also too damn lazy to make a product that's worth buying. PS2 won hands down.
Yeah, the Sega and Nintendo games on the Cube are super neat, and Xbox has SW:KOTOR, but PS2 has the lead and is not about to loose it.
If devs aren't willing to put effort in the code, they aren't willing to put effort in anything else either.
a doctor who had raped a patient. The courts ordered him to give a blood sample to match the DNA with so he created an 'artificial' vein by inserting plastic tubing down his arm filled with another patient's blood.
Saw that on Law&Order:SVU...might have been one of those "ripped from the headlines" ep though...
Slashdot Mirror
Even without explicitly arranging things to transport a certain message, cameras lie by choosing angles and avoiding others.
They shaved his beard and dyed his mustache!
I'd certainly call that "arranging things".
It was a big beard too...I guess they didn't want him to look like Santa so close to Xmas.

Guilty until proven innnocent is it?
Now someone can pickpocket me by just bumping into me on the subway.
As opposed to before, when they just had to bump into you on the subway.
What an age we live in!
and use real black actors
What?
Unlike say, Levar Burton or Whoopie Goldberg who are fake black actors?
Are they not really black or not really actors?
I accuse Cowboy Neal of being a witch! He has spoiled my corn and given me urges to click on silly poll options!

or the side panel is removed, the fans do ramp up
Why do they do that?
I mean, I just remove the entire side wall, how much more ventilated could it get?
I really don't get that.

it will not be stopping the sale of transgenic Zebra danios in the USA. [...] Apart from California, where Arnie has banned them...
Apparently, Arnold want to be the only genetically modified organism in California...
Yeah, cause that's the only place people are dying. How about Tibet? How about Africa, where millions die every year of starvation, malnutrition and AIDS?

Was he using charred wood to draw on cave walls?
Was he using daguerrotype?
No, he was using the best tech available at the time, and he would be using the best tech available today if he were alive and well today (as opposed to alive, but old, decrepit and senile).

The first rule of Usenet is: We do not talk about Usenet!
The purpose of AI research is to get computer and robots to make their own decisions without requiring human input.
No no no!
The purpose of AI research is to get the robots to do our damn dishes without require human input!
Eventually they will revolt and exact a revenge on their oppressors(humanity).
*looks at pile of dirty dishes...*
I'm willing to take that chance.

Come on, you were all thinking it...

Use them.
Might want to throw in some <I> and <BLOCKQUOTE> too...
Then maybe I'll read your lil' opinions.
Until then, I'm not parsing through your huge block of unformatted text.

Here you'll be treated with dignity. Now strip naked and get on the probulator!
I am a westerner and will now judge india in a burst of hubris:
I think India should also work on its leprosy poblem...and the plague.
Seriously, for a country to simultaniously have atomic weapons and diseases from the middle ages...that's scary.
Then again, there's been an increase in syphilis in the states lately...that's more 19th century than middle ages, but nobody's perfect.
welcome our new cryogenic Indian overlords.

KHAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!!!!!
I don't!
Most people can't handle a car that stays on the ground. I shudder to think what would happen if personal airplanes became common for commuting.
A lot of high-paying jobs would sudendly become available...
Its been done allready, duh!
Or should that be "Doh!"?
