    No, if they only glided, then they would not be able to fly UP without first going down. Such the case, no bird could take off from the ground, they would have to fall, gain mommentum, then glide up. Birds FLY. But if flys fly also, would that mean that birds bird? or that humans human?

  4. They need to on Game Developers Cracking Down on Cheating · · Score: 1

    They need to take cheats out of the game all together. It's more fun if you can die. That's why games are exciting and fun. If there's no risk (to your character), then why play a game at all? Why not just stare at the floor. I don't know much about online gaming, but I would assume that the online cheats are possable because of cheats and hacks in the game meant for local, non-networked play. If they cut those out, it would be alot harder for cheaters I'd assume. Between that, and taking an active role in the online game itself (playing the game and catching cheaters in the act to kick them off), I think that games would be pretty much cheat-less.

  7. Re:Not for long. on What Free Cable? · · Score: 1

    Since both cable tv and cable internet run on the same cable, the only way to stop us from doing this would be to add a scrambler to the tv signal, but then they would have to add one to the box on your tv also, which would coat a lot of money. I seriously doubt that any company would do that. If anything thay may now decide to charge extra for cable internet (if they don't already) if you don't have cable tv also.

    I'm sorry sir. But ippississiM does not own any so called "big brown river". We do however own a "Big Black River" and a "Brown Creek". If you were perhaps talking about the Mississippi River it's self, I do believe the state was named after the river. But other than that, you got it right. It's big, brown, and ugly... And that's about all we have. except for Ingles Shipyard (where the navy builds some of it's ships), and the MCI Worldcom headquarters (well, for the moment at least...)

    You didn't make me feel too badly, don't worry about it. I just didn't want to offend anyone that I didn't need to. And I for one, haven't heard much about New Zelanders wearing grass skirts. Pretty much all I knew about Kew Zeland was that was whear LotR was shot. But hey, what do you know about Mississippi???

    Once organisms become sterile they normally stay that way. Mules are sterile (but that's the Mississippi hick showing up in me there.), and are showing no signs of becomming otherwise.

    But by that deffinition if a Cannadian came to the US and gave an american buisnessman the flu, who then, in turn, could not go to work the next day, and lost his job; we should go to war aginst Cannada, because they just released a biological weapon aginst a US citizen. Sure it wasn't intentional, but do you think that if that same Cannadian released smallpox or the plague, we'd be very happy? (No, I do not have anything aginst Cannadians, it's juse easier to assume they have more contact with Americans than New Zelanders.)

    Then what would we keep it in? Plastic? Oh yeah, plastic is made from petrolium, which this can also eat through. Looks like we've jsut completely killed off every form of transportation on earth, no metal to build cars, no gas to power them. No bullets, no guns, no bombs, no grenades, no nothing...

    If they became sterile (could not produce offspring), and had a shortened lifespan, they could be "controlled" by dropping them, and knowing that these bacertium could only survive for a short time. If they were given a 24 hour life span, there would be no time for them to run amuck, and cause all sorts of damage to the environment. There wouldn't be time for them to spread from area to area, and thus could only do slight damage. But I'd still rather drop a bomb on Bin Laden's head than some bacteria.
