The central region of the galaxy, he says, is far to cramped and chaotic to expect Earth-like planets to have much chance of developing and remaining stable. [... Oort cloud...] Near the center of the galaxy, [...] close encounters between stars would gravitationally boot more of these comets into the inner reaches of a solar system, where the planets would be. Further, because there is a greater concentration of heavy elements -- carbon, iron and other stuff that weighs more than hydrogen and helium -- near the galactic center, Gonzalez said more comets and asteroids would probably develop.
So what does this prove? We have two "facts" (we actually don't know, but Gonzales tries to prove something here), and Gonzales concludes that constantly a large number of comets and asteroids would rain down on planets, destroing all developing life. No, actually all earth like planets.
Somebody else might conclude that most of those minor bodies would be send into the system very early on, and actually become part of the still young planets, while later there would be just as little (or even less) impacts from asteroids and comets on the planets as in our system.
The theory can be summed up like this: The universe has unimaginable numbers of galaxies with a huge number of stars in each - but there is only one earth with life on it, with man as the crown of creation. And the uniqueness of man proves the existence of god. Because if he had made a second or even more intellegent races somewhere out there, he would stop to exist. No, wait a second, that doesn't make sense...
It wasn't Microsoft, it was MSN Germany that was sued. By a German in Germany. The fact that you could see it all over the world does not make it an international issue.
Ahh, no. Microsoft as an ISP who claims the rights to everything that is put on their site (at least at the time when this all happened) has lost the case. IOW MS lost because they are evil .
That is somewhat silly, since Unix originally was called UNICS, which was a take on MULTICS, which was an acronym. So the only reason to declare Unix a "word" as opposed to an acronym is that Ritchie became more serious with the project.
Hardly proves that Apple "outspends all other PC companies in product placement", does it. Doesn't even prove that Apple pays for anything.
"In placements, I want a breadth of exposure" says nothing about paying.
"Loaning of equipment" says nothing about paying for placement.
No, AMD probably does pay more for producrt placement than Apple, and that this doesn't show is what really irks the AMD guy. All your fantazising doesn't change that.
Figures that you believe what "a marketing executive at Advanced Micro Devices" says. What gives him inside knowledge? Yes, Apple probably (no, certainly) pays more for product placement than AMD - I have never even seen an AMD product on screen.
OTOH Apple often doesn't pay for being in a movie, the production company buys or rents the Macs or uses machines they already have. Sometimes Apple isn't even asked (as can be seen - or not, thanks to the auto-translation - in this this (auto-translated) article / original article in German about ads withs Macs in Germany) if Macs can be used.
He made it to apear that Slashdot "again" posted something about an old article. Maybe this should have gone into a Slashback, but it was not YASDUOS (yet another Slashdot digs up old stuff). It was Wired doing an follow-up to one of their old stories.
And the (new) article says so. It also says that few people believed him, and that he was ridiculed on web boards. Couldn't be talking of Slashdot, now could they.
Microsoft XYZ Macro virus. Usualy does nothing put replicate on a Mac (if you have XYZ running, else nutin), usualy does big damage on Windows PCs (if XYZ running).
The ban of Nazi symbols isn't there to stop people from becoming Nazis. It was instated so the surviving Nazis could't just go on, pretending that nothing had changed, standing up in pride and glorifying their deeds.
Bullshit. Of course you can say pro nazi things in germany. You can even march through the streets and yell "foreigners out", and the police will protect you from people who want to stop you. But you can not raise your hand for the Hitler salut, and wear the insignia of Nazi organisations, like the swastika and the SS runes. The fact that the American nazis can tell lies about Germany (as can the fascist Scientologists) may show that you are "more free", but not that you will be told the truth.
He said, and than put the spoiler "attack of the clones" in the title of his review. Now people won't be surprised when the clones attack. Bad Cmdr., bad.

IOW no jury. We don't have juries in German law.
Grow up, kiddo.
Don't you mean the 1GHz P 3 ?

You seem to have over-clocked your calendar. It's been a little over one week, not a couple.
The District uses Macs - though it may not be that visible.

Removing the ban would just be proof to them that they are right. And everybody knows they exist.
Why? How would Germany be more free if Neo-Nazis could march through the streets of Germany (like they do now) dressed as Brownshirts?
The ban of Nazi symbols isn't there to stop people from becoming Nazis. It was instated so the surviving Nazis could't just go on, pretending that nothing had changed, standing up in pride and glorifying their deeds.
Well, they are not. That's just Scientology propaganda. They simply don't get the staus of an religion.

Just show lots of footage of the poor hot babes who don't get their phone calls. Let's call that movie Showgirls 2.

Only in America pommes frites are called french fries.
So what is supposed to be your point? The statement is not "completely backwards", it does infact summarize (part of) the article.
