There isn't a religon that I'm aware of that doesn't ackowledge that you cease to be a human upon death, and all of them believe its likely to be a one way trip. Some believe in an afterlife, some beleive we go back into a pool of life force, some believe in reincarnation. All of them believe your human life is over.

He spends 20 times the national average for one of his houses.
From your own link: "factors (such as the climate in the area where the home is located and its size) make the Gore home's energy usage comparable to that of other homes in the same area. "
And he makes an effort to get power from "green" sources. But a good right wing libertarian think tank can make him sound like a hypocrite, that'll discredit him!
I am sure the previous presidents of the united states used cellphones and laptops. This is no different by the combination of the two. What exactly are those security experts hired for anyway?
Canadian citizens will require a passport to enter the United States at land and marine ports of entry as of June 1, 2009.
However, as of January 31, 2008, if you travel to the United States by land or water, a United States law requires you to present:
* a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's licence
AND a birth certificate or a citizenship card;
OR
* for persons aged 18 and under, a birth certificate or a citizenship card only;
OR
* a valid passport.
By air
Since January 23, 2007, the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) came into effect for air travel to the United States. The following documents are acceptable:
* A valid Canadian passport; or
* A NEXUS card when used at a NEXUS kiosk at designated airports.
The NEXUS program offers a simplified and expedited clearance process to pre-approved, low-risk travellers.
WHTI is an American endeavour that establishes new requirements for documentation to enter the . It is being implemented in stages.
Canada will deny you entry if you've been convicted of drug possession or DWI -- even if said conviction was a misdemeanor/civil affair if your home country. Why don't I see anybody complaining about that?
Who do you think Canada copied that from, Einstein? The US did it to Canadian citizens, and everything the USA does, Canada does one year later.
They did it with music (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_Advisory) and the sales sky rocketed.
No. That's already there, that's the T mentioned in the summary/article.
This is different: It's a wild claim without basis. WORSE, it's a reworded bible quote, sneaked on there. Violence begets violence. That's most likely where they got that "link", but if they admit they can't use congress to FORCE THEIR VIEWS ONTO OTHER PEOPLE, which is the point here.
No one is forcing any warnings on their christian rap albums (exposure to inane cultural content has been linked with low intelligence), they can leave the rest of the world well enough alone.
But the "parental advisory" part is already on there, with the bold black and white logo in the corner and everything. It's just not enough, it'll never be enough, they want to outright ban the things they don't like, and since they live in a country with freedom of religion, they can't do that in plain view, so they sneak in and wedge their beliefs in the law anyway they can.
And this won't be enough if it passes. It'll never be enough, not as long as people get to have opinions that differ from theirs, they won't tolerate that. Ever.
"It helps the government keep an eye on everyone."
HOW? This is the second time you've made that bullshit claim, and the second time I've called you on it.
Take your meds guy.
I ignored you the first time because you're an asshole, but since you insist: Anyone who's not retarded knows that you have to LOG IN to a secured access point, dumbass. STFU and do a minor amount of thinking.
Having the capsule mounted on top of the fuel tanks also tends to add extra safety. And because of the relatively low weight of these capsules, you can afford to stick extra safety equipment on them.
Yes, the capsule designs have a Launch Abort System. It's the thing that looks like a tower at the top of the stack. It is a rocket motor that can yank the capsule away from the rest of the system if something goes terribly wrong.
Why is it that I can't see that thing mentioned without immediately thinking that it will someday go horribly wrong by firing at the wrong time?
You can't just walk into a cafe in Mumbai and use the wifi. You have to show a government ID (such as a passport), which is recorded, before you even get access credentials.
Exact. And since terrorists would NEVER steal a passport, it means that this will keep the children safe, and not at all only serve to mess with regular citizens while being a mere inconvenience for true criminal intents.
Making sharing and redundancy illegal is ridiculous and as the summary suggests it doesn't help anything.
It helps the government keep an eye on everyone.
"Who said that about the justice minister?" "That guy, we'll go fuck his life up now..."
But, you know, think of the children, if you don't give the gvmnt all they want, terrorist will kill jesus (or Rama, depending on what gets people emotional where it's being said)!
Calling it a "scare tactic" is a bit harsh. I'd say its more the police wanting something to point to when their bosses ask what they've done to "make Mumbai safe from this happening again".
Big brother waltzes in, and you think he's just there for show?
I'm not saying this will have any terror-reducing qualities as ascribed to them by the official channel, but it's not just song and dance like the water bottle thing, it's another way of removing anonymity. Making sure that all ctivity can be monitored, all citizens controlled...
I don't agree that they had trouble meeting the demand - that is my assertion. If they really had trouble with demand they should have raised prices in the first world while still abandoning the whole "give one get one" fiasco.
They were simultaneously selling it for too much AND too little. I see...
99.99% of computers are in those countries, think about cause and effect here.
Well no shit. That still doesn't change the fact that they'll initially be consuming software instead of producing it, making the OP's argument wrong.
You cannot produce without initially consuming. But the nutritional values of what you consume is of paramount importance to your eventual ability to produce. Open Source means that you have access to all the info you want, closed source means that you can only learn what others choose to allow you to know.
Microsoft sees a bunch of new computer educated people in Nigieria/Ghana/wherever and builds a software development facility there. Now they're producing Windows, too. There's about as much evidence to support that outcome as there is to expect that they'll start developing OSS.
You imagine a world subservient to Microsoft, they are trying to give them the power to be free to start their own software development facilities. Microsoft can poach their better coders, if that makes you happy.
Slashdot Mirror
Areas with widespread legal firearms ownership tend to have less crime than areas with severe gun restrictions.
Severe gun restrictions tend to be enacted in areas with high crime rates.
Not really. Christians believe that when the world is over, after the second coming, you will be reincarnated.
If you mean "reincarnated" as in "put back into meat", ok, but I think you meant "resurrected".
"Reincarnated" usually implies a new, different body. The belief you're talking about is the reanimation of a dead body.
There isn't a religon that I'm aware of that doesn't ackowledge that you cease to be a human upon death, and all of them believe its likely to be a one way trip.

Al Gore?

Isn't the point of something like "Semester at Sea" to immerse yourself in the program, and become involved deeply
No, the point is to learn to avoid that at all cost. ;-)
Quite literally
I am sure the previous presidents of the united states used cellphones and laptops. This is no different by the combination of the two. What exactly are those security experts hired for anyway?
They are hired to know gems like this: All data transferred via BlackBerry devices is encrypted and travels through RIM â(TM)s central server in Canada .
This is a perfect example of how security nuts make life difficult even for people in positions of tremendous power.
ESPECIALLY for people in positions of tremendous power.
Think of all the trouble Hitler went through because of Enigma hackers!
We'd be cowering in fear of some pretty awesome looking aircraft right now if you could ignore security nuts with impunity.
this country is big enough for anyone to travel, with enough really wonderful places to visit and not have to visit anywhere else in the world.
And never be exposed to a different culture than the one they already know.
There's plenty of neat places in all the countries in the world to keep people busy their entire lives, but there's more to travel than kodak moments.
Being Canadian and having family that cross the border on a regular basis, how will this affect Canadians? Will we have to register online?
Canadians entering the states (who are driving, not flying) do not need anything other than a valid drivers license and a clean criminal record
I hate to break it to you:

What happened to parenting?"?
Most people are WAY too fucked up to be able to take responsibility for raising an actual human being.
But they do it anyway.
That's what happened to parenting, from day 1.
I say let them do it.
They did it with music (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_Advisory) and the sales sky rocketed.
No. That's already there, that's the T mentioned in the summary/article.

It is like adding "Press this button to be fired" function to your corporate email system. You know someone is going to press the button
Yes: The guy who wants to quit but doesn't because he'll only get unemployment benefits if he's fired :)
Greek Ares is Roman Mars.
Thank you, Captain Obvious!

They wanted to use it, but were told "Negative, the pattern is full" :-p
calling any spacecraft a Jupiter makes me uneasy
On the other hand, naming a "civilian" rocket after a god of war makes me QUITE suspicious.
Having the capsule mounted on top of the fuel tanks also tends to add extra safety. And because of the relatively low weight of these capsules, you can afford to stick extra safety equipment on them.
Yes, the capsule designs have a Launch Abort System. It's the thing that looks like a tower at the top of the stack. It is a rocket motor that can yank the capsule away from the rest of the system if something goes terribly wrong.

Facebook allows users to tag photos with the names of the people who appear in them.
And the people tagged can accept or reject that tagging.
As well as the owner of the pic wen someone else tags it.
I don't agree that they had trouble meeting the demand - that is my assertion. If they really had trouble with demand they should have raised prices in the first world while still abandoning the whole "give one get one" fiasco.

Strange that an animal loaded with venom doesn't go after small mammals or something.
One might even say it was paradoxical...
