No that would just let some of those villans out of jail. I suggest that next time let's do it based on the alphabet and we pick random names from each letter. lessee now

As an average person with wife, kids, house, car etc. I'm going to be in debt for the rest of my life to someone as well but the bank has a life insurance policy to cover the house debt.
Do you think the RIAA will ensure this guy for 96billion and just wait. No way man. I give him a month before he suffers an 'accident'.
On your left as you enter is the big red wheel that turns clockwise to close the water supply to the generator of that deadly electrical field so you can get down to the ammo crates just behind the central console thingy.
Watch out for the head crabs coming from the far side of the room.
that implies the cost would go DOWN as things become less popular
No, simply that they don't go up. In fact their holding costs go up so the price is unlikely to go down.
Don't you think the price of coke would stay the same because it cannot compete with people who want to drink their stress away?
Is it not as likely that the beer people will see that people are prepared to pay higher prices and so will set similar prices if people see them as similar products. This is especially so when demand is high . It's only when demand drops that there is a reason to tempt people to your product with lower prices.
He's a teacher(programmer). I hope to hell he's good at teaching(programming). I hope he studies teaching(programming) for all it's worth.
He obviously teaches thinking skills of some sort.(programms applications)
I also hope that when he is asked to teach someone about ethical dilemma's in IT (is asked to write a app for the mining industry) he goes and asks people in the industry what their greatest challenges are and then considers how he will approach the problem rather than blundering blindly on providing a solution that is just crap. (same thing, idiot).
Insurance is gambling. If you get insurance you're betting that you're going to die.
Only in the way that saving money for a rainy day is betting that it will rain. Insurance is just a group saving plan for a really rainy day with the strong possibility that it will never rain and if it doesn't you'll be so happy you won't mind not getting your money back.
If I never collect on my insurance I'll be happy because it will mean that I made it to 65 in good health.
Self insurance is useless if there is an equal probability that the insured event will happen at any time over an extended period.
And in a related note, good and evil are fallacies since what is good or bad is wholly dependent upon the perspective of the observer.
That may be the case (or it may not be depending on your point of view) but if enough of us think that from our perspective that what you are doing is 'bad' enough then you'de better stop doing it.
The fact that we disagree about whether a thing is 'bad' or 'good' doesn't mean that a thing cannot therefore 'be' bad or good. The error is in assuming that because a thing cannot be 'bad' or 'good' absolutely it can never be 'bad' or 'good'.
I agree however that extinction is not bad or good, it just happens. The use of bad or good are not helpful. They should be replaced with something like detremental to the enviornment or not detremental. Even then you are going to have arguments but less perhaps about the morality of it than the functional utility.
What can be bad or good (from an ethical or moral viewpoint) about extinction is our attitudes and actions to it.
if you cannot have freedom of speech even in the educational enviornment well then I'm going to move to China,
We are still talking about music file sharing here aren't we. like the latest linkin park EP (34 friggin min).
It is amazing to see the complete deformation of the term freedom of speech to where it it means the ability to criticise the government without fear of retribution is given the same level of protection as the ability to download the latest Britney bloody Spears track from another persons computer.
The market prices things at as high a price as people are perpared to pay.
So presumably even if prices started low for unpopular material or new material they would eventually rise as they became more popular. And I suspect the starting price would rise to reflect the lack of popularity of the other material but then there would be a limit to how high the price of popular items could rise so you eventually get to a situation where the popular stuff costs $x because its populkar and the unpopular stuff costs... umm $x because its not as popular.
If you think this is not a realistic model explain why coke from the japanese railway station vending machines that remote controlled have a higher price in peak hours.

do you have any idea what the word vicarious means.
your bad English gets you into trouble with Disney.
sent hundreds of letters to various porn web sites to arrange royalty deals, picking on the small fry before trying to take on well-heeled companies such as Disney.
I imagine they will feel insulted at being called a well heeled porn site.
at their final design stage (around 2010)... The approximate cost of the OLED monitors will be $0.50 per square inch (around $5.00 in stage one around 2004).
Pardon me if I take this with a pinch of disbelief but I doubt if I can believe a forecast of the price of an unreleased technology in seven years time.
Well it is a radio after all sending out a nice strong signal to a large part of the sky. That's why they have radio silence. Just because the Iraqis found them while he was making a phone call doesn't mean they heard his call at all or that they tracked him using a GPS signal.
It was also reported that to to ensure that Iraqi special forces could not develop night vision technology as the next step in their research efforts Carrots were being classified as Munitions and are now banned from export to beligerent countries. The US will be seeking the addition of Carrots to the Chemical Nuclear and Biological Weapons Treaty.
In a separate totally unrelated story Donald Rumsfeld has stated that he will soon release details of discoveries by US troops of whole fields of biological weapons precurser materials which will totally justify the invasion, sorry liberation of Iraq.
I cannot believe that the US with the ability to recognize the voiceprint of individual whales or pickup bad words in 1000's of simultaneous voice transmissions cannot identify individual cell or sat phone signatures out of iraq.
As for letting iraquis know where the embedded reporters and their units are I reckon the iraquis already know where the americans are... every f**king where, just let one off man and it'll hit something and if it's one of ours even better.
Slashdot Mirror
I'd be worried. It's getting to the point where it will be cheaper to rob the store than get pirate copies from the web.
So, the way to deal with these problem chinese is what, exactly? Blow them up? Base on your facts they're a pretty nasty bunch all round.
till we find some.
Premise - Witchs burn
What else burns? - Answer: Wood.
What else does wood do? - Answer: Floats on Water
What else floats on water - Answer: A duck
Conclusion - If she weighs the same as a duck, she's a witch.
Which is pretty close to the FBIs methodology.
