That would make sense, if there weren't any ground based telescopes now that have better resolving power than the hubble.
They can't pick up a few bands that are filtered out by the atmosphere, but you're acting like the hubble is the only worthwhile telescope in the world. The ones in Hawaii look fantastic from where I'm sitting.
AND the Bush administration has increased the budget for the sciences. Doesn't sound like bible thumping fundies to me.
Historically, girls were married off at an average age of 13. First child had at an average age of 15.
Oh, one more thing. I hang out on a forum that's mostly women. They thought that one scene in the girls bathroom with the two boys was *really* sexy. To the point where they were embarrased that they wanted to have sex with box under the age of consent.
As a fan, I've been doing my part. I've been loaning out my DVDs to anyone who likes sci-fi. 100% positive feedback. Plus, they all plan on seeing the movie.
If you want Firefly to come back, you have to get more people interested in it.
We in the US are not doomed. There will be a global adjustment as the US standard of living goes down some and the rest of the world goes up some.
Countries who's laws do not favor business, and require businesses to bribe officals, will never become powerhouses until they clean up their acts.
The EU??? Have you been looking at the economic growth of the EU in the past 20 years compared to the US? Hell, just look at their proposed consitution (Several hundred pages) and you can tell that they're too socialistic to *at this time* to ever become a viable competitor. Just the VAT tax alone sucks an enormous amount of energy out of their economy.
China and India are on their way to becoming 1st world countries? Great! I look forward to the huge amounts of trade that will happen between all of us.

Give it up man. The Libertarians will never hold the Presidency.
Because you said you stripped out stuff from unix, and added a ton of stuff.
We were talking about the OS. You compared removing stuff from the OS, and tossing in programs as an improvement to the OS.
My point is that almost none of the stuff you talked about has anything to do with how the OS runs. They're simply programs that run under that OS, and can be ported to Unix.

Since when in the moon a micro-g enviroment?
It has gravity. Tons of it.

Did you miss the part when Spain capitulated to terrorists?
They may have been strong at one point, but now their response to adversity is to curl up and whimper.
A real Mac?
Until the G5s came out, Mac users were stuck with the G4s. Are they not good enough?
Actually, that's sounds great.
If I could choose the manner of my demise, death by giant space based energy weapon would be it.
Like the one from Akira.
Connecting to the Mini Mac via VNC is an exercise in patience.
It's surprisingly slow on a network. Over a cable modem is something you do only when you have no other option.

I'm still waiting for the howls of outrage.
1. Computer science is hard.
2. After busting ass in getting your CS degree, you will probably not get a job.
No wonder enrollment rates are down.
You could take Art History and not get a job programming too!
Making a mistake and owning up to it is ok.
Making a mistake and lying about it gets a lynch mob.
Hopefully, others will see the example made of him and make an effort at leading an honest life.
I missed FireFly when it was being broadcast.
After hearing about it, I downloaded about 9 episodes. Loved them.
Then I heard that the DVD set was available on Amazon for 35$. Erased my downloaded copies and bought the DVDs.
I would of never bought the DVDs without having pirated the episodes first.
Average ticket price of 5$?
Movie rentals are 4.50 these days, how the heck did you get an average of 5? I say it's closer to 8$.

Yeah, arresting people who break the law doesn't do anything. There are still people out there breaking the law.
Hey! He said you can't do that! Stop that immediately!

I'd love to go work for Boeing and get paid enough to buy my own 747.
"Okay, maybe +1 Funny, but the fact is, he ain't far from wrong, and it was more like 17."
Seriously?
Unless you want the US to invade Brazil and force them to stop, I don't see why you're bringing this up.
Unless the US has been hiding it's mighty amazon rain forest from the world.
Better than a U2 plane?
How the heck would you know?
Just curious, what country *wasn't* tainted with slavery?
Even the Native Americans kept slaves.
And if you're honestly upset about slavery, well do something about it. Slavery is more widespread now than ever before.
And it's not a play on the word "Slavery". But honest "I bought and paid for your ass and your life is mine."

And Unix would remain Unix.
Quicktime is compiled into the Kernel???
Notice how all those countries who were "exploited" back in the 80s now are much better off and are headed to 1st world status.
From a 1st world view, these jobs are horrible. From a 3rd world view, these jobs rock.
If you have diamonds burning, you have much bigger problems to deal with.
