Actually if you read the headlines you'll see that cars are responsible not people. "SUV runs over child", "Sedan plows into house"... these cars are dangerous and have a mind of their own and must be stopped!;)
Yes this is OT but this guy is 100% right. If we had been allowed to go in and kick their ass without these stupid restrictions, we would have done so.
IIRC you can't access it from any non microsoft e-mail program. I could be mistaken but last time I checked (a year or 2 ago) you couldn't access it with Mozilla Mail (not browser! MAIL!).
And let's not forget that Photoshop handles large images much much better than the Gimp. If you're doing print production, Photoshop is really a must.:(
Right well like I said I don't know all the facts but I do know that if they had known they could have done something. The people at NASA are brilliant IMO and when pushed they can respond. Look at what happened with Apollo 13. They had to find some way to keep enough power to get those guys back home alive. They ran simulation after simulation changing things here and there and finally were able to figure out a way to save enough power in a critical time of the aborted mission.
Could we have rushed up another shuttle? Launched a rocket with supplies to keep them alive longer? Hell I dunno, but they could have done something or alteast tried to do something even if the outcome was the same in the end.
There are things that could have been done. It might not have been easy to rescue them but yes I believe they could have been saved. I mean what would they have done said "Well we know they will probably die, but we can't rescue them so let's just cross our fingers". I'm sure that wouldn't have flown as an option.. they would have had to come up with a solution and if you put enough brilliant people on the problem a solution will come i'm sure. If it came down to it, would they have tried sending the columbia towards the space station and then each astronaut space walking out of the shuttle to the ISS or something? Is it even possible? I dunno... it sounds crazy but hell it might have been worth a shot had they known that if they were to re-enter they would die.
If one fuel cell lasts 10 hours and is the size of a bic lighter.. why not use 2 or 3 of them, or just make the one bigger to give more life between charges?
No sir, Republicans want to be able to keep the wealth THAT THEY EARN! Wealth is earned, not distributed.
It's easy to be compassionate with other people's property. "Sure, homeless man, you can stay in John Smith's house for the night. He has more room than he needs anyway!". Would that be rational to you? So why is it rational to force people to give up property that they earned just so that the government can give it to those not willing to get out there and earn the capital them selvs?
Exactly! Gov't HAS NO MONEY to give! Money is seized by the government from the citizens. If the government were to seize money and then redistribute it, that's called.. oh I dunno.. COMMUNISM. The fact is, capital is earned, not distributed.
True, but I wonder, what would happen if the code was split up into say 3 sections. Is a web publisher allowed to publish "some" of the code? Since part of the code doesn't work all by it's self. So then some people publish part 1, others part 2, and others part 3. Do a google search and get all 3 parts, cut and paste, and bam, you have DeCSS now. I wonder how they could stop that on legal grounds. but IANAL of course:)
MOD this guy up!
There has never been a country of palestine. AND 90% of the so called Palestinian's home land is actually the country of JORDAN. JORDAN slaughtered thousands of them and they fled. If they want their 'home land' back, then go right over to Jordan and take it. Oh.. I see.. the Jordanians aren't jews.
I am going to just claim my entire block that i grew up on as my 'home land' and i'm going to just start calling it a country that is occupied.::rolls eyes::
I agree but I would say that the reason is probably because they created a framework for others to make the eyecandy in. They laid the foundation and there isn't much eyecandy to show at this point.. just a big hunk of concrete for others to build on.

This makes me want to transfer there and share tons of RedHat ISOs and OpenOffice.org install files.

What if we paint it with a nuclear paint bomb? That way we get the best of both worlds.
Dude why would your mom need to run Bochs at all?
WRONG! It's not "nearly" it's EVERY. ;)

And you can't access your hotmail account from Mozilla mail, you have to use Outlook Express (atleast last time I checked)

MOD UP!
Yeah I was just thinking... "glad I switched from Windows to Mandrake last weekend"
Ok let's also stop listening to Bill and Hillary Clinton they are also multi-millionaires.
umm.. yeah... protesting.. that's what I have been doing ;)
Yeah George Bush is a big leftist commie. *rolling eyes*

Or in other words "enough money for a new men's room toilet seat" in government dollars that is ;)

Maybe you'll get your alpha-blending from Cairo?
Importing alpha-blending from Cairo is WAY to expensive. Just try getting it through customs!

Correct! So the obvious solution is MILES AND MILES of paper tape!
