"or the Protoss Hero's (can't remember his name now--kinda killing my argument here) sacrifice."
Yeah, I remember that. I'd destroyed every Zergbuilding and unit besides the Overmind, I had a dozen or two siege tanks surrounding it, not to mention carriers and stealth ships etc., and he goes ahead and kills himself. Dumbass.
Heh. Back in high school, I brought a real hunting bow and (target) arrows as part of my costume as the monk in the Canterbury Tales (in my English Lit class).
It means that they're usually drunks/drug abusers/homeless/etc, and can't be counted on to take all their pills properly. If they don't get sufficient antibiotic levels, or stop taking them b/c they feel better, resistant TB can develop easily, then spread.
My first thought was "Dear God, no!!!", but you've got a point. Something along the lines of Ultima Underworld or System Shock 2, maybe? Though I dunno how well such a thing would work for a Space Quest game...
Currently, increasing resistance means that regimens of up to four drugs are needed for several months to cure tuberculosis, mainly due to the decades of antibiotic misuse (eg, all the doctors prescribing them for colds), and the frequent treatment failures due to fact that people who get TB tend to be, well, not the most cooperative of patients...
Good point. That was released around the same time, wasn't it? It had a much more 3D environment than anything else at the time, and it's level of interactivity and gameplay makes it still a decent game today.
Can anyone say the same thing about Catacomb Abyss or Wolf3D?
There are freeware equivalents that do pretty much the same thing as WinZip... eg, PowerArchiver. (Similarly, one can use Bersirc instead of mIRC.) Plus, there's no need to search for the serial number for version x.x of program x, which seems suspiciously like version x.x-1, except for the new password scheme and a minor facelift...
No, I'm pretty sure it doesn't. What is does have (or at least 8.0-8.1) is a selection screen that lets you check off various types of packages for what the computer going to be used for, eg: "games machine", several types of servers, "office machine", then a more detailed mode lets you select/deselect specific rpms. (The amount of memory the install will take up is shown in the lower right corner, along with the total memory available.)
If anything, the CBC is more critical of the government than other stations. Heck, it runs _This Hour Has 22 Minutes_, _Air Farce_, and other satire/comedy shows that, among other things, openly mock government figures.
Can you imagine Marg, Princess Warrior threatening to smite Ashcroft? Or Colonel Stacey firing the chicken cannon at a picture of Bush?
"Bill C-36 is a satirical examination of civil liberties. Some viewers may be arrested for their sense of humour." - The 'warning' at the beginning of a recent 22 minutes show, a spoof of their usual "This Hour Has 22 Minutes is a satirical examination of daily events. Some viewers may not share this sense of humour." warning.
And frankly, I don't see how corporate-controlled media outlets are all that better than government ones...

Actually, I'd consider that newsworthy. (Not to mention completely unheard of...)
Stem cells are common in the body - eg: cells in the bone marrow produce many different types of blood cells. These are multipotent/pluripotent cells, cells that can either divide to make more of themselves or differentiate into one of several "end" cells, like red blood cells, platelets, etc.
The stem cells this article is talking about - the embryonic ones and the newly discovered adult ones - are totipotent cells, cells that can differentiate into ANYTHING you want.
Heck, they could just get them from spontaneous abortions (aka "miscarriages") which make up more than 50% of pregnancies. Yup, more than half of those "new humans" die, often before the woman even notices. Compared to this, surgical abortions are small potatoes...
...I'd probably feel safer driving*. Plus, I wouldn't have to listen to disheveled, unemployed dot-commers struggle to maintain their self-image by blathering on their cell-phones.
*Then again, all the stoned drivers might pose a problem...
Great. The Clintons are murderers and everyone who is not a Republican is a Communist. Iran-Contra never happened, nor did anything involving the words "Bush" or "Enron". Your world sure is interesting...
You can, however, attach an expandable keyboard to a palm, though they're pretty expensive. Anyone know if you can get just a number pad?
There is some pretty good software, too - EasyCalc is GPL'ed, free, and has nearly everything except an equation solver. The only calc program I know of with an equation solver is C4Everyday, which is $20 or so.
However, if your computer was located on a planet, you could use the ground to conduct heat away from it. (Though the thin atmosphere might help, I'd want to stay indoors - and keep my computer away from the dust...)
Heck, imagine overclocking on Pluto.;-)
One of the short stories in "The Green Hills of Earth", I think, though I can't remember the specific title at the moment. In one scene the pilot is tensed up waiting to see whether the engine of his rocket will fire upon being launched, or if he'll have to abort and glide it to a landing.

...whatever happened to it, anyway? My last computer that had one was a 486/66. It was actually useful for slowing things down...

Was this like the ColecoVision version? It was real-time, but you couldn't buy new units or stuff like that...
Naturally, this was before Columbine...

Yay! Vancouver isn't so bad, after all. Though it'll have to wait until after Anime Club. Trigun comes first...
If you're not interested, go to your preferences->exclude stories from the homepage->anime (it's near the bottom of the middle column).

Darn right. Mandrake 8.1 worked great for me right out of the box, and I'm rather clueless with Linux.
