It works by the same process I once saw in bootleg distilling: you use limewater to trap (or convert, or get rid of) CO2 and feed O2 to the liquid undergoing fermentation.
No, the GP is correct. As Patton once said (paraphrasing), "the point is not for you to die for your country, but the make the other poor bastard die for his."
These were the fist sci-fantasy books I ever read: Interstellar Pig House of Stairs Singularity Strange Attractors The Duplicate
They are clearly written for young adults, and yet they have serious themes. A young reader with an inquisitive nature will end each book with profound (for their age, anyhow) questions. All of this is done in prose that is easily accessible to a pre-teen.
I also recommend (highly) the Norby The Mixed-Up Robot series, co-written by Isaac and Janet Asimov.
Hey, Nimey, I'm sorry I called you an asshole... and for thinking you were a totally worthless dickweed. That was wrong of me, and I apologize. I also apologize for the "worthless potato-sack of crap" comment I was going to make before I remembered my manners.
*phew*... thanks, AC. It feels great to be nice to people for a change.
There is nothing in international law that I know of that suggests aggressive intelligence gathering (e.g. spying) on a hostile foreign agent (especially one we're at war with) is wrong or illegal. We, and everyone else in the international community, do it as a matter of course. It's one of the oldest tools of statecraft. Why you think this changes once it's done over a computer network is incomprehensible to me.

I always wanted to try it.
I loved the part where Kevin Spacey turns out to be Kaiser Sose.

Whatever... they're just many-digit newbies like you and me. If someone has a 1 or 2 digit UID, that will mean something.
I have not purchased an EA game since Ultima 9. There will be no forgiveness for that crap.
Hur! Hur! Hur! *snork* Hur!
You know the way the average slashdotter sees creationists? That's how I see 9/11 troofers.
Just wait for the mothership to come back, and all will be right with the world again...
Excuse me... now you need to present the alternative view.

I initially read #4 as "cut and disemboweled", and thought it was a rather savvy idea.
Yeah, the grandparent is a total asshole!
Oh, wait...

Agreed. The best beer leaves sediment at the bottom of the glass.
Sierra Nevada? Pfft. Rogue for the win. The hangover just serves to remind you what a great time you had last night
...that Live Search sucks? They were all gung-ho about their Google-killer a few years back.
Don't you remember Kindergarten? If the bully hits you, you never hit back, or you're just as bad as he is.

I'm still compiling KDE 3.x.x.
Take that back! My mother was a saint!
Umm... because they're stoning people? For saying the same things about Islam that Slashdotters have been saying about Christianity for years?
Or are human rights only for the privileged few (i.e. you)?
Still don't get me?
Damn straight. We need to stop executing or imprisoning gay people, or we'll totally be hypocrites.
</sarcasm>
So in other words, you never paid dues to Jim Jones, but he still lets you drink the Kool-Aid?
Until they started it again. And then they stopped it again. And then they blew up a bomb underground. And then they stopped it again. AND THEN....
(blah blah blah ad infinitum)
Or maybe you haven't met them?
Hell, yeah! Burma, Somalia, Yugoslavia, German Jews in 1938... let the nationals deal with their own internal problems, internally.

You know what they say: when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
Dammit. I was trying to respond to Gewalt. Apologies, Peguinisto.
