The key here that this system is designed to be a standard. When a gaming company decides to put out a game, they need to make sure it works on a variety of systems, including my PIII 450. With MS, they have a 700mhz processor with a GF3, and every gaming company can make a game that exploits all of that technology. And yes, it's new, give it some time. If it fails, then you can be happy that MS took a hit, but if it doesn't, then the world has another great gaming console. Also, maybe the problem here is the idae that everything MS makes sucks. Maybe you don't like their business practices, or their software, hardware, or whatever, but a lot of people use, and a lot of people use it well. People need to think about where we would all be withour MS. I know you don't like to think about that, but they help jump start this industry and make computers available to all.
Wing and fuselage crashed in two separate sites, meaning a great force must have seperated them.
If the engine fell off, then it would land before the fuselage, given that the rest of the plane would be able to glide for a bit after the engine was dropped, especially since it had another working engine to propel it further.
That comment was made in regards to the recent technology that allows for DNA testing, which then allows the innocent to be set free. If I made that comment 10 years ago, it would be invalid, but I made it now. We can't say the Judicial System was wrong for not having DNA testing when these people were convicted a while ago. Now they have it, and they use it, and that limits false convictions. Also, we are talking about terrorist suspects here. DNA would have a small, maybe non-exisitant, roll here. The bottom line is that listening to phone messages and reading email will not help put a detained suspect in jail. And remember, the number of guilty who are set free strongly outweighs the innocent proven guilty.
You might want to patch up that bleeding heart.
Everybody has a lawyer. These terrorist blend in to all aspects of society, and I wouldn't put it past a terrorist to have a lawyer who is also a terrorist. In this way, a suspect could continue carrying out plans even while being detained. Also, lets remember that if you didn't do anything wrong, they won't be able to convict you of anything. I don't see why we try so hard to protect the guilty. This measure could never hurt an innocent person, because they would never tell their lawyer they did something if they didn't. Also, this is not affecting face-to-face communication. Everyone needs to calm down.
