No, more like the same way we let the Soviets fly their reconaissance aircraft and run their reconaissance submarines slightly farther than 12 miles off our coast during the cold war.
There's also a difference between making an emergency landing in a country you're in a cold war with and doing the same in a country you just granted "permanant normal trade relations" to, among other things.
Actually, I find it fun to consider China as a part of Taiwan. PRC took the country from the real leaders (now in Taiwan). BTW, this brings up an interesting point:
Socialism - a revolution brought about by the workers
Communism - a revolution brought about by a corrupt government takeover
Let me second that. It's hard as hell for a relative Linux newbie (like me) to figure out exactly what programs the different packages contain and what their dependancies are. At least it was last time I tried to install Debian (fairly recently).
But you have to realize that, depending on how much more advanced the aliens are (and they would have to be at least a little more advanced than us in order to get here), they may have a different definition of "sentience" and thus might rank us as being roughly as sentient as cows, or any other creature that we ourselves consider to be lacking "sentience".
Ok, you say that the full moon can't turn people into raging lunatics... Look at the word lunatic. You see it's base word? Yes... That would be *lunar*, ie relating to the moon. So if a full moon, arguably the most visible lunar event, cannot turn people into lunatics, I suggest that the word lunatic is contains an internal contradiction, and thus should be banned from use.
I could never be a Christian. I want my dieties to be more sane than I am.
Whatever you do, don't become a scientologist. Xenu's not sane in the least. I mean, this crazy space alien dude killed all the humans with a giant volcano. WTF!?!
I always go the wrong way around the turnstile things at the entrances of office buildings and the like in an attempt to correct the negative force on earth's spin imparted by those less-enlightened individuals that go around the "correct" way. It really sucks when I try to do this with one of those one-way turnstile things -- ouch, but at least it's for the good of humanity.
Umm... It was a book. "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH". I guess I didn't remember any spinnie-things in the book, so either I forgot about that part, or (more likely) they added it in the movie version.
Or to put it simply, they put a magnet around an electron beam and scan it so fast across a phosphor screen you can't tell it's a point on the phosphor anymore.
Actually, they should be the same brightness unless you haven't properly adjusted your white and black level controls, referred to on most monitors as "Brightness" and "Contrast", respectively.
To adjust them properly, get your computer to display an all black screen, and starting with the black level all the way down, turn it up until you just start to see the display get brighter. Then display an all white screen and adjust the white balance until it's the same brightness as a piece of paper/whiteboard/etc held up next to your monitor. BTW, the color temperature control should be set to whatever makes the paper and the white screen look the same color.
Unless they advertise them with Microsoft/MSN "rebates" (which very few "average consumers" ever pay attention to, ass-u-me-ing that they just saved $50 on their new hard drive, even though a great majority of them never send the rebates in).
Los Angeles (AP) -- AOL Time-Warner announced today that it would aquire the Los Angeles ISP startup CrazyFarm, which began service to customers over its moonbounce-laser high speed data connection last week. Steve Case had this to say about the recent aquisition: "All your base are belong to us. Ha ha ha ha."

You can see what the state-run media is putting out from their Xinhua state-run news agency. http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/index.htm
But the EEZ doesn't apply if they're not fishing, trawling, drilling for oil, etc.

Microsoft announces new electricity protocol
Dunno 'bout anyone else, but my car gets AT LEAST 500,000 rods/hogshead.
Xenu's Not Unix.

BTW, I am a lunatic. Raging, that is...
Correct, but you forgot that by the time all of this happens, California will have sunk into the Pacific Ocean. End of story.

Please explain... I'm confused.
I'll bring my lightsaber and a few blaster rifles!
Which would be the One True OS(tm)? Both apps you listed run on Windows and MacOS (and possibly in WINE emulation).
Sounds like a pretty thorny system! haha. hehe.. hoo... That wasn't as funny as I thought it was...
