Actually most Protestant versions omit (not include) the apocryphal texts. The more acedemic (study) bibles do include some of them. The Roman Catholic bible translations include them.
I'm not scoffing, but think of the postage. Assuming that he could get by with the minimum first class postage, to send out ten million pieces of junk mail a day, would cost him over a hundred million dollars per month, in postage alone. I know the mail system is closed on Sundays, but I'm assuming that he sent spam on Sundays and no one can stop him from putting mail in the box on Sunday (except the vast number of pieces). Also he might be able to get some bulk mail discount, I don't really know how that works, but it would still be a lot. Now add to that paper, envelopes, printing and the resources to stuff and post. On his best month he made $700,000. He'd go broke in a heart beat trying to do that by regular mail.
Admittedly, I didn't read the story, I just jumped to the "demonstration." The demo seemed less than impressive as it showed that the "Pirate Eye" thing, found two shady looking characters sittinging in an oterwise empty theater sitting next to a tripod with a couple of large popcorn bags sitting on top with holes cut in them. Now certainly a less sophisticated detection method could be used to weed these guys out.
And based on last weeks election, I wish we hadn't bothered. Filthy traitors.:-P At the very least we could have made the southern states wait for their "new" quarters. Hey! You get out of line? Get to the end!
One question about those. Were the movies touched up at all for the laserdisc? I've seen those and in my old VHS copy I could see through parts of the speeders on Hoth, as in looking from the cockpit if it flew by a walker you could see the legs of the walker right through the bar at the side of the window. Also in space I could usually see colored boxes around the Tie Fighters and probably other space ships. In the rips from the laserdiscs I don't see any of that. Contentwise it is original though.
Hawaii is odd that way with food. I mean they have or at least had way cooler sauces for Chicken McNuggets than the mainland. On the other hand people out there would liberally apply ketchup to their Kentucky Fried Chicken and that was a wee bit freaky for me.;-)
Because saying "major sporting event" is up to interpretation. Rather than deal with the law suits, they chose where "major" begins and that's at 30,000 people.
I didn't see any planes before yesterday's game againts MSU, but I know that the advertising planes have been back for most of the games this season and I think I remember them last season as well. Of course they only fly well before the game and the wind yesterday might have had as much to do with them not flying as anything else. I do live close enough to see parts of the "Big House" from my house and we park cars for the game in our yards.
In response to the sig. I also was a conservative at 20 but now in my early 30s am quite liberal. I can laugh and say I used to have not heart and now I have no brain, but I prefer to look at it like Elwood P. Dowd (portrayed by Jimmy Stewart) in the movie Harvey: "You can only be so smart or so pleasant. For years I was smart. ..I prefer pleasant."
That's great except for not being able to see the headlights of the car coming at you. I know, that's what were complaining about, but there's a big difference between being blinded by the lights and having the car coming at you basically invisible to you. One badly timed left turn . ..(or right turn for our friends in the UK, Japan and the like).
Now, just because a PSU can put out 550 Watts, and just because a system needs a PSU that can put out 550 Watts, does not mean that a system is constantly drawing 550 Watts. A computer's energy consumption is variable depending on what you're asking the system to do at the time. If you're expecting to play DOOM 3, while encoding and burning DVDs 24/7 then maybe you'll max out the power and you will end up paying for that full 550W. Otherwise, there'll probably be long periods of time where the system is sitting idle or doing relatively light tasks and not drawing much power at all. Running a computer with a 550W PSU is not the same as constantly running a 550W lightbulb.
Oh yeah, and Darl is like Veruca Salt who wants a golden goose of her very own and she wants it NOW! So Darl/Veruca give us a big song and dance before being promptly rejected by the golden egg inspection machine.
That was the first thing I thought of when I read that a vehicle of some sort had been found in teh desert and no one knew how it got there. I decided to scan the replies lest I be redundant.
Good thing they didn't include that "Spartan" word in the summary. One can't go boosting a Michigan State University space program on Slashdot! It's got Ann Arbor roots!
No, no, no! You're taking this all wrong. If Lucas is saying that "it doesn't really exist anymore," it can't very well be illegal to download it then can it? I mean, if it doesn't exist after all. Time to go watch my non-existant movies.;-)

What he doesn't say is that it wasn't really Cray that sold it and it was one pound of weapons grade plutonium. ;-)
No you should video yourself griping about it and post THAT on your blog. ;-)

I take it these are the programs that didn't escape on the subway to the Matrix?
Thank you. I thought that must be the case.
Now waiting 8 seconds to get past the filter. . . . . . . .

First rule of suprnova.org is you do not talk about suprnova.org.

Well it sure as heck doesn't come BEFORE three. ;-)
That's what the parent said. Can it find the question to the answer 42.

It all makes sense now.
Nah, Westerners probably like Chess because of all the ways you can theme the pieces! Star Trek to Simpsons, it's all been done.

Besides, nine days if awfully fast for a new trend to sweep the nation.

Time to go watch my non-existant movies.
