Let's assume the worst: Terrorists have hijacked the 747 and the F-16s were scrambling to flank it. The terrorists start flying the plane towards, say, one of the large office towers on the Jersey side of the river. The F-16s will then (a) do nothing (b) shoot it down. Where does the plane go? The shrapnel?
I'd check with HR first on your interview language. Essentially, asking a candidate "Why should I hire someone old over someone young?" certainly could be interpretted as illegal.
in red and white concentric circles. Add a white star in the middle on a blue background. Strap it to your arm and go fight crime. Just watch out for large blocks of ice, and don't get assassinated.
Just tag the kids, so when something turns up missing you can start the interrogations immediately. Surely you have fewer kids than you have stuff?

I think I heard Neil Gaiman describe the problem as such (paraphrasing): Words can be highbrow. Art can be highbrow. Why is that when you combine the two, the quality suffers?
In person, or even on the phone, we tend to be directly accountable for things we say. If we're talking at a bar, and you call me an first-class a-hole, there's a chance I might slug you. And if I don't tag you today, I might tomorrow, because I can identify you pretty easily. If we're in a meeting work, and I call your idea the worst since Microsoft Bob, that may or may not reflect poorly on me. On the internet, however, where comments are at best anonymous and logins/handles/avatars can be easily changed, anyone can say as they please without fear of repercussions.
I'd like to hear what NASA's goals are for the future first. Are we looking to colonize other planets ? Communicate with other beings ? Better understand the effects of zero gravity ?
Most every shuttle mission so far has run a battery of scientific experiments, totalling hundreds over the years. What have we learned from these experiements ? Who have they benefitted ? What more do we have to learn ?
We went to the moon a few times. We stopped going. Why ? Did we stop learning ? Will the same be true about orbitting the Earth ?
"If you're watching DVDs you don't want your wife to know about, you might not want to give her your password," said David Caulton, Microsoft's lead program manager for Windows Media.
That'll go over well:
Wife: "Honey, what's your Windows password?"
Hubby: "I'm... ummm, not telling you. It's, er, a secret."
Wife: "I'm sorry, I thought you said 'it's a secret' ?"
"CEO Donna Dubinsky (says)... We are a company that is transitioning out of the organizer business and into the communicator business"
I thought communicators weren't due until the 23rd century ?
Face it, nobody cares about the other features in Napster. It was all about content (and the easy UI). Who's using Napster to play MP3s ? or to chat ? If the content isn't built in, no one will come. And making it "legal" will prevent all that from happening.

You wouldn't be safe anywhere in the vicinity.

Don't movies last more than one hour?

My wife wants to know if you're available for dinner.

"Midbar" is Hebrew for "Desert", as in, expect them to dry up soon.

So, without revealing anything revealing, is there a better way to please the RIAA without sacrificing user-friendly concepts like "fair use" ?
