During my sophomore year at college, I interviewed Randy West (check your adult video store) for our radio show via telephone. I saw a picture of him and Carrot Top on his website and asked him about it.
After his decades in porn, he didn't want to admit to his family that he was hanging around with comedians.
When I went to 5th HOPE last year in NYC (only a month before the Republican National Convention), they had a panel there about disrupting the RNC. Stupid pranks like setting off stinkbombs or engaging the killswitches on charter buses and the like.
Nothing dangerous, but obnoxious to those who dare hold a different opinion than those who run the Indymedia/2600/HOPE etc.
I'm not a republican or bush supporter by any stretch and I do enjoy HOPE and 2600 and the idea of Indymedia, but when it crosses the line from peaceful protest to mischief, I take offense.
But even a this should be enough to save lives such as battlefield casualties and victims of stabbings or gunshot wounds, who have suffered huge blood loss.
If they have the equipment on hand in a battlefield or emergency scene to pump out the blood and pump in this cold solution (not to mention the cooling equipment necessary), why wouldn't they have the proper equipment to attempt to save the patient?
When I get mod points, I often find that quite a few ACs are capable of being insightful and mod them accordingly. Discounting ideas simply because of anonymity is intellectually lazy.
Whether they will attempt to embrace the technology and adapt or restrict its usage via litigation (as the RIAA and MPAA have done when confronted with new mediums for delivery) remains to be seen
Although they haven't resorted to legal chicanery yet, the telcos still give the VOIP upstarts a crushing disadvantage in one area: E911 compatibility.
There is already plenty of FUD keeping the average person away for VOIP by the idea that their call won't be properly routed to the appropriate 911 center.
The direct dial numbers to these centers are a very well guarded secret that the Telcos won't give up to the VOIP providers without a fight.
Yes folks, you were right! It's a race to the bottom!
India will see this first hand when other countries that are more desparate for foreign capital enter the fold. India will become too expensive as wages and standard of living rises, driving work offshore yet again.
For some reason, people don't get anywhere near as outraged if you do it with tens of hundreds of tons of convential explosive, but as soon as you're doing it with one bomb, [wikipedia.org] or, heaven forbid, something with 'nucular' infront of it, they go into a tizzy.
Conventional bombs don't cause radioactive fallout, decimate cities in one fell swoop, make soil unusable, and poison millions with radiation.
Don't get me wrong, an equivalent number of bombs can be just as destructive, but the radiation left behind by a nuke can kill more than originally killed by the blast itself.
It's funny to see BitTorrent now get their comeuppance. When you lie with snakes, you're going to get bit.
How does it feel to get hoist by your own petard now?
Feels just like making my bed and lying in it or lying with dogs and getting up with fleas. But not as embarassing as painting myself into a corner or being caught with my pants down. A bird in the hand is wor#*NG(*(JF>SA
Damn near everything is contracted out: food, showers, embarkation/debarkation. With an increasing number of viable "space" start-ups, it isn't hard to imagine that NASA hasn't announced a shuttle replacement because they're waiting for these guys (or gals) to come up with a cheap alternative that they can purchase time on.
If thats the case, then one of those taxi time meters must be bolted to the dashboard. Makes good sense to me.
So really, what is the law good for? Nothing, except appealing to the base.
What good is the ACLU challenge? None either, except making them selves look more like 'champions of pron' to the conservative members of this country.
Appealing to the base is all they need to do. At the polls, they'll be remembered as those brave enough to take a stand against the immoral purveyors of garbage that warp our children. Certainly enough to get them some votes.
To the uber-conservative set, the ACLU is seen as an organization out of touch. Fox News was on in the gym last week and on the topic of an al-queda training manual telling captured operatives to cry abuse, the pundits there said how the ACLU and the liberal media were in the pockets of terrorists waging a propaganda war against the US government.
Hogwash? Of course. Millions of people buying this shit? Sadly, yes.
This terrorism shit will stop, when your government stops fucking with everyone elses business
That'll never happen. If you give even the illusion that terror attacks will shape policy in the way terrorists want, that'll open the floodgates of people with a homemade bomb and an axe to grind.
Giving in to terrorists' demands can lead to nowhere good.

They invited the Russians to join in the raids but were refused.

Don't worry, there'll be an RFP for that soon.
The jedi religion is just as real as any other, IMO, except perhaps better written.
Screw that quaint old religion. I'd rather be celebrating Life Day with Art Carney, Bea Arthur, and the music of Jefferson Starship!

Mildly OT...

Sounds like they took the "lets put our heads together and think of something" idea way too seriously.
But even a this should be enough to save lives such as battlefield casualties and victims of stabbings or gunshot wounds, who have suffered huge blood loss.

So was Oprah. (same year) For some reason this does not give me the warm fuzzies. Did Tachikawa have a talk show or something?
Of course he did. He got much attention on one episode when he gave his entire studio audience tentacle porn.
Then he tried to commit suicide by eating pop rocks with soda!

By viewing the images of exploited children you are creating a demand. Higher demand means more kids life's are ruined to create more pictures.
I just flipped through a Crutchfield catalog. Did that do anything for the demand for car radios?
Seems like terrorism and child pornography are hot button issues that require logic be checked at the door at all times.

how are those chefs going to keep their hats from floating away in space?
Luckily in space, no one can hear Gaston say "Sacre blu!".

* As you can see by the satellite photo [google.com], the rugged Guadalupe Mountains meet the barren, flat Llano Estacado
I see quite a few stains in that photo. Looks like they've been making test flights already!
Its all fun and games, until nanotech technologies like claytronics are used to make a shape-shifting cyborg, and someone gets an eye poked out.
Admit it, you were really thinking of Gumby rather than Terminator.
