Dead bird and fish? That was from a release of phosphene gas. It was taken from Iraq and stored in the northern midwest. During shipment, the airplane had a "malfunction" and a small cloud was released.
Go back to bed America, your government is in control.
On my machine, Celeron 600 with 384 MB, Firefox will crash daily. It will freeze, CPU will hit 100%, and I can't cancel the task through the ctrl-alt-delete. I must restart my system and begin a new instance of Firefox. Thank goodness that it reloads tabs. But so does the Google add-on. For me, I regret not having a copy of 1.5.0.7 around to restore.
Mankind cannot be given easy access to space. The Commer$ial Intere$t$ that control our country, the U.S. of A., want our populace to remain stupid and in an uneducated and physically-deteriorating condition so that we remain $imple Con$umer$, feeding at the Commercial Trough.
I won't even mention what the aliens want. Too much Conspiracy before breakfast curdles the blood.
OK. Let's look at the basics. IBM is a larger company than SCO, has been in business much longer, has more $$ money $$ than SCO, and can hire better lawyers.
Guess the name of the winner? Hint: It starts with a vowel. Case closed.
The level of censorship in China reveals a simple fact -- a government that is afraid of its people. The gov't of China knows that if the iron-clad grip is relaxed, even for a moment, that it would be overthrown and OMYGOD! -- Freedom of thought and Open-communication might happen!!!
China is a joke and I'm laughing as Rome burns.

Without Han shooting first, in a preemptive strike, most of the tension (what there is) is removed and the scene exists just long enough to tug one out to future thoughts of Natalie Portman.
No matter how good Google becomes at easing the separation between the desire to learn (curiosity) and the acquisition of knowledge (reading), it cannot replace the physical book.
Holding a book in your hards cannot be rivalved by any search engine, not even one that knows what you want before you think of it.
It may only be two pounds of solid cellulose, but this is mine and mine alone. I can curl up at night with my book and explore distant planets or long-lost continents.
Americans have all freedoms and have fairly reelected G. W. Bush to maintain this degree freedom. A goal of the U.S.A. Government is to spread this degree of perfect freedom throughout the world.

Jesus was most likely a real person. There is archaelogical evidence of the burial headstone of the brother of Jesus, James(?).
Research the history of Jesus and it's intersection with the topic "jesus in india".
Jesus seems to have been a hippy (independent thinker!) and much displeased with the status quo. To escape a pre-arranged marriage he ran away and hitchhiked to India. There, he became quite skilled in the yogic traditions of meditation, asana, spirituality, etc.
When he returned to middle-east and began sharing his new wisdom, the powers-that-be found the ideas threatening to the current power structure. And so Jesus was executed. End of story.
Ever notice much the main tenets of Christianity mirror those of evolved yogic thought and spirituality? Most religions are similar in their basic tenets (minus the differing "miracles") because people are the same all over the world.
Read "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananda for superb insight in the similarities between all people. Much of history owes a great debt to India and Vedic thought.
Wired.com ran an article several months ago about two different firms, one in Central Florida and the other near Boston that were producing perfect, flawless white or colored diamonds.
At the time, there was halting discussion with the deBeers Foundation about how to respond. The article mentioned that the path of "but the minor flaws mean it's a real diamond" was chosen.
As soon as I read this posting I searched the Wired archive for the article. Not found. Clear evidence of a "diamond conspiracy". I'm off for more research and will post again soon.
I slapped down some words in disgust and did not write a consistent reply.
A "plasma sword", a.k.a. lightsaber, would provide most known attributes we have observed.
Can cut through most substances
Cauterizes tissue when cutting
This does not explain how lightsabers can duel the same as mundane swords. If the plasma is shaped by an energy field, why would energy fields repel each other?
Perhaps each energy field has a unique frequency, energy strength, signature. Only fields with this identical quality can pass through each other. If two fields (two lightsabers) of differing signature touch, they will repel each other violently. Pick up some very stong magnets and try to press similar poles together. Something like that.
I can't believe the primitive mindset of that writer at Forbes.
Lightsaber
This would be a rod-shaped energy field that is emitted by the lightsaber base. To use my own current physics knowledge, I would fill it with a plasma.
This doesn't solve the aspect of lightsaber blades repelling each other, but it's close.

Events are not pleasing to Microsoft and the EU courts are not rolling belly-up.
Therefore, call the Homeland Security Dept. that the "foreign" courts are being nasty.
Payoff said officials.
Wait for bailout.

... that is best expressed by George Carlin:
A fertilized egg does not always implant successfully on the uterine wall and is then flushed with the next menstrual cycle.
So this means that every woman alive is a serial killer...according to the Roman Catholic church.
This is a common example of thoughtcrime.

OK...
...rustle...rustle...Where is my damn clue stick?...rustle...rustle...
Excuse me, but where did you place your brain?
Go retrieve it, because it's lonely.
Google the search phrase "crime rate gun law". The top two countries are England (U.K.) and Australia.
Smacking idiots with the clue stick...
OK, someone was actually given a research grant to produce a new version of Life?
Yes, I'll have what they're smokin', thank you.
The article contained no solid information!
How would this work? Would workers travel from computer to computer with RFID tags full of data?
I suggest someone give these people a bag of clues and a link to the documention on sending TCP/IP via carrier pigeons.
The link to the original article, Diamond Age, is available via the Diamond Age.
