The flashlights were decorated with images of marijuana leaves and the book was about drug rights. It's entirely possible that they only recorded it as possible grounds for a second search. Were they routinely recording people's reading material, or was it just this case because both the flashlights and the book were enough to reasonably raise a few eyebrows?
Of course if you believe in God, then you must beklieve in ID.
Not the ID that the court case in the US delt with.
From the court findings:
Further support for the conclusion that ID is predicated on supernatural causation is found in the ID reference book to which ninth grade biology students are directed, Pandas. Pandas states, in pertinent part, as follows:
Darwinists object to the view of intelligent design because it does not give a natural cause explanation of how the various forms of life started in the first place. Intelligent design means that various forms of life began abruptly, through an intelligent agency, with their distinctive features already intact - fish with fins and scales, birds with feathers, beaks, and wings, etc. P-11 at 99-100 (emphasis added).
I'm guessing that if they ever planned on shutting down the authentication servers, they'd release a patch to allow you to play without them. Perhaps that's showing too much common sense for/., though.
It's not like auth servers are anything new, either. Multiplayer games have had them for years. If the company is ever going to shut down, they can just put out a patch that "unlocks" the game.
4. The use of %s section made me want to LOL. The authors see significance in the fact that neither piece of software uses %s to concatenate strings, sprintf( together, "%s%s", s1, s2 ); would be unusual for any C programmer, yet sprintf( command, "RCPT TO:", rcpt ); looks like something any C programmer would do.
If I recall correctly, the paper was not pointing out that %s was/was not used, but rather that it was used/not used in similar places in both code bases. That is, in a place where SoBig used it, it was also used in Send-Safe, and where SoBig used another method, so did Send-Safe.
...and slowing the viehicle.
Now there's an idea. Use vent pass-throughs that have fans that can activate when the user presses on the brake. You'll gain power and lose speed (which was your goal anyway) at the same time. Now the question is about how this compares to charging up using the brakes as is done in some current vehicles. Could both systems be used in conjunction?
In any case, it would make the car look kind of ugly.
The only official date Valve ever gave was Sept. 30th of 2003. Everything else was speculation done by third parties about offhand and unofficial comments made by members of the dev team.
They've delayed it exactly once. Sure, once may be "way too many times." If you rule out any game that gets delayed once, though, you're pretty much going to be limited to Mahjong 2004: EXTREME EDITION and Arcade Classics 26.;)
Last paragraph of the second article:
"Even if lifetime duration of cannabis use is associated with greater impairment after 17 hours of abstinence, the data are insufficient to know whether greater impairment would be present a week or a month later..."
So what they are saying is that they have no idea what the real long-term effects are.
There's a big difference between saying "We won't help you if it breaks" and "You can no longer use what you paid for because we said so." MS is guilty of the latter.
You're making it look like MS is going back on their word when in fact the person who is using the modded XBox is at fault. When you agree to MS's Live TOS then violate it, it's perfectly within Microsoft's rights to ban you.
Sheesh, give it a break. It's obvious that he meant that they have spent what translates into billions of US dollars. If you were nitpicking, you could have at least pointed out the missplaced apostraphe.;-)

Doesn't frost require water? If not, what other substance can cause it at those temperatures?

Correct me if I'm wrong (I very well may be), but wouldn't wind generators drain more power through increased drag than they could create?
At that speed it would just be the "make the car smell funny brake."

The MPAA did say "According to British intelligence..." before citing that statistic.
You don't even need an external heater for your tropical fish!

Cars cause upwards of 40,000 deaths each year in the US. Well, the cars are causing fewer than that: it's usually the driver that is at fault.

This movie is "Street Fighter: The Movie" bad.
Woah, now. Let's not say anything we can't take back.

Unless a commercial features any copyrighted work. Then you will only have to play half price.
In the case of any system-threatening hardware failure, a fast shutdown is exactly what is needed. Or would you rather have a fried processor?
