You have 2 different scenes confused. One is when Sarah is in the hospital and she has a dream about going to see herself at the park and then the bomb goes off. Cue skeleton scene. This was in all versions of the flick.
The alternate ending also takes place at a park in 2010 or something, and she's sitting on a bench watching john with his kids. No bomb goes off. Everyone is happy. They turfed it because it was too happy and made a sequel impossible.
HIV is different because a) it has a hard-to-detect incubation time of often several years before developing into AIDS, b)it is already endemic, and c) it lasts a long time, but is eventually terminal.
If there were only a few hundred cases, with easily identifiable, early signs, and a short quarantine period, then absolutely that would be a solution.

SARS Contained

that's a myth. There is something like a 10% chance of dying from SARS, and most people who come down with it are hospitalized.
Spoken like someone who does not suffer from it. ADD is linked to depression. I have ADD, most of my family suffers from clinical depression.
Just because you don't understand it, and you don't have a quick explaination as to it's mechanism, does not make it false. I find it highly insulting that people who do not experience a disorder every single day can write it off as BS. That is like the blind writing off color as BS just because they haven't experienced it, or seen any evidence.
Dude, he said "guess". He didn't say "you can assume it will be out in exactly 9 months".

That's true - deep base (low frequency sounds) travel farther and penetrate materials better than higher frequencies, which tend to bounce off materials and disperse. Low frequencies also require more power to generate, and thus carry more energy.

I can't tell the difference between tap water and evian most of the time to be honest. Bottled water is for those times when you can't find a fountain.
Restaurants here all serve tap water, even the fanciest.
Course this is widely considered the cleanest city in Canada, and therefore probably the world. I've never been anyplace else that even approaches Calgarian sanitation standards(and I have traveled a lot).
First of all, I have taken entire courses on Philosophy of science where we discussed the differences between science and pseudoscience. Creationism IS internally consistent as well, that was my point. The problem is that within the creationist paradigm, there are too many ill-explained phenomena, and it is not predictively useful.
Second of all, I think we need to clarify what we are refering to. Evolution itself isn't even debateable. It is an observation about the natural world. (A fact, if you will). Natural selection, a mechanism to describe why evolution occurs. It is very internally consistent, simple, and predictively useful, so we call it a theory. It cannot be proven or for that matter disproven, which is why we do not give it the title of "law" like the law of gravity.
Evolution however, which is the fact that gene frequencies change over time within a population, is an observation. It is not a theory or a law, just a fact.
uh, first of all NO, the western world means Industrialized Europe, North America and Australia.
Second of all NO, creationism hasn't been seriously considered by any provincial or federal governments in Canada for well over 50 years.
Third of all, you are right that Fundie islamics (and christians etc.) are creationists, but I was refering to the afformentioned western nations where these are not predomienent.
One last thing... Catholics support evolutionary theory. They aren't fundies.
Discussions over whether or not to teach Evolution stopped many decades ago though, in Australia and the rest of the Western world. It is strange that it is still such a hot political topic in the USA.
I'm Canadian. I KNOW the world doesn't revolve around the US.
True (sort of) but evolution is a more internally consistent and simple paradigm of beliefs. this is what really characterizes a scientific framework. not "proof" (there is no such thing).
Japanese sports cars have small engines, which rev really high. These are hightech, powerful and sought-after technologies. The P4 is analagous. American and European sportscars have large, slow-reving, high-torque monster engines which are also powerful and sought-after. This is analagous to the Athlon. They have been leapfroging eachother for years now in performance - each has a different but equally valid way to get there.
It is true though, that the customer only sees clockspeed (RPMs in my analogy) - which tends to help Intel. This does NOT however make it an inferiour method of acheiving performance.

I'd just like to point out an error - He wrote and directed True Lies, and everything else on this list, except for Strange Days (screenplay).
that was my point. One of the reasons I listed (for why we CAN'T quarantine them) is that it is terminal 100% of the time. We agree completely.

I agree that it is prescribed too frequently. Beyond that though, thanks - your intolerance is duly noted.

Fine, the US has much better healthcare than Canada. /sarcasm
Good grief, i can't even believe i'm arguing over this.
Sorry to sound like a broken record, but...
I am SOOO glad I was born in Canada.

I think this is a good, well-publicised reason for sysadmins to get off their asses and patch their servers.
The people who get hit by this are NOT going to be people running the latest updates.
Couple of things to clear up.

You know the whole "creationist" thing is, within the educated western world at least, an anomaly of the United States?
Wow, you're right! We should all clearly be driving Porsches! Anyone who isn't is clearly irrational!

I'm a "March of the Pigs" fan myself. "Big Man with a Gun" and "Hurt" are also of course favorites.
But I paid only $11.99 CDN for it instore at Future Shop. And I got to listen to it the day it came out, instead of waiting for delivery.
Well, I thought it was both ontopic and informative for people who don't know to what the heck I was referring. Oh well!
"The Downward Spiral" was an excellent album. WTF are you talking about??
