"Everytime you go to Walmart, Target, and other "Made in China" clearing houses"
No I need to spend money on "made in China" products to do that. Simply going there does not, despite your obvious and very misguided bias against big companies, support China. Get over it.
For the most part I think you're right. On the other hand you must take into acount survival of the fittest. Many of those smaller animals would be hunted to extinction by others, some would starve out as food sources exhausted. Some were distinctly regional and depending on what happened to that region may have died from the impact alone.
This is all big picture stuff, the article is way to general to be providing a complete theory. What it doesn't explain i think is how birds survived.
Not really, many times the only indication we have of forest fires is the rings inside trees that only partially burnt. Such a layer would also be subject to climate changes, for instance the Sahara deseert was once a swamp, I think 20k years ago. So that would have obvious consequences on such a thing.
That's exactly my point. We don't release people from prison anymore, we beat and bludgeon them for life with their past convictions. It's no wonder repeat offenses are so high when we don't allow them to vote, get a decent job or education. We treat them like animals after having payed their debt giving them no options or hope for improvement. When put in that position, why not re-offend? Either they did their time or the didn't, this "holding it over their heads for life" crap needs to stop.
We have the highest prison population on Earth and not nearly the population of many other countries. That alone should tell us something is desperately wrong with the system. Yet people escalate further and create "expedited executions" in Texas and Florida. Rather than lock them up and rehabilitate them, we now just write them off entirely and kill them. How great! It's wrong for one man to kill another man but somehow right when 2 million kill one.
Show me a state that allows it. BTW voting in federal elections is not a matter of the state, that's why they are FEDERAL elections. So, snide little DOJ website snippet aside, the facts remain that felons can't vote.
This is because felons can't vote. If they could then change would be possible, but by arresting and convicting people, thus taking away their constiutional rights you handicap them. If convicted unjustly, or if said law is repealed you are still a felon unable to vote. It's one of the oldest tricks in the book and is why a huge part of the black community is left as a permanent under class unable to effect change.
Now just prove to me beyond a reasonable doubt global warming exists and I'm sold. The natural tendancy of this planet is a so-called "ice age". In fact if you took a measuring stick to represent the timeline this planet has been "warm" measuring around 10-15 feet, the one representing the time it's been cold would be around a mile long. This planet has natural warming and cooling trends and our existence on it is but a mere blip on the screen. In the 70's these same people were scaring us with global cooling, now it's global warming and they justify all this nonsense with less than 100 years of dependable yet incomplete weather data. I'm so tired of these dull arguments and fear tactics that now I just tune it out, they have ruined their own cause with FUD and junk science.
I already unchecked send simultaneously and it seems to have fixed my problem. Live sync was killing me. Keep in mind those are both functions of the server, if the server doesn't support them the client will error. The error messages should be more descriptive however. I wasn't recieving messages twice, that sounds like you may have some screwy rules set up.
It works dandy for me now, granted live sync would be nice but at least my messages are stored in a central location.
And I was so impressed I bought the student/teacher edition. The improvements to Entourage alone make it worth it to me but the compatibility with windows versions is also a big plus. Yes it's expensive, yes it's microsoft but the MacBU is very much a mac unit, they love the mac and take a great deal of pride in this app. It's very elegant and easy to use. The only problem I'm having is with IMAP in Entourage, it seems to have trouble with the mailbox lock where as the older Entourage didn't. Hopefully the full version doesn't have this trouble, but if it does screw it, I'll switch to pop3, it's just that good of an app.
Well it seems to have switched from sci-fi to sci-fantasy. At least the first movies tried to be faithful to reality. The force thing was always a little out there but now it's taken a life of it's own. The force now replaces the plot.
I'll reserve final judgement until I see it. Obi-Wan may kick his ass and toss him in the lava causing him to need the Vader suit, if done right it could make some sense. I just don't see it working out since you can't get that close to lava without dying. It's thousands of degrees for crying out loud.
Yeah I just love how the rabid looney left likes to twist Star Wars. Reagan used it as a bargaining chip with Gorbachev. In every meeting they had Gorbachev made vast sweeping compromises if only Reagan would cancel Star Wars. Reagan was quoted as saying he wanted to be "the first president in US history to say no to the Soviet Union". That coupled with the deal he made with the saudis to raise oil production and the USSR's trouble in Afghanistan as well as Chernobyle......
Of course listening to the left we'd be led to believe Gorbie had a change of heart and the USSR spontaneously combusted.
No, the LAB was 500 yards from my window. My house was on Arlene way, my backyard WAS the fence. If you don't know the geography then don't comment on this. I lived there 20 years.
Which is why we haven't made nukes in 10 years and in fact have been REDUCING THE FUCKING ARESNAL IN A TREATY WITH RUSSIA. God you anti-nuke retards are so behind the fucking times. Get over it already.
You can get hydrogen from water, sorry you missed that one in 1st grade science. As to your cry baby routine over their usefulness I'll just overlook it as utter immaturity and ignorance. LLNL isn't an automaker, they simply did research which is what good labs do.
I find it laughable how little losers like you turn every single thread into a Bush bashing fest. Grow up and get a life. I hate the man too but seething rabid ignorant posts on a message board don't change a god damn thing. Get over yourself.
I grew up in Livermore, the lab was some 500 yards from my bedroom window. They work on a lot more than nuke simulations, including alternate fuels (my brother in law was driving a hydrogen fuel car from the lab 10 years ago as a test), laser technology and about a million other things. Why is it people like you who hear "Nuke" rant on and on like biased little children and post inflamatory things like this?
The lab is a GOOD thing damnit. Do you even know what nukes are? What nuclear research has done for us? Grow up man.
And yet again, another utterly retarded post by you. Get over yourself fleeb you wouldn't know your ass from a fucking hole in the ground. Shit heads like you have ruined slashdot.
Are you always so retarded? You have the right to life, that means breathing or are you utterly devoid of intelligence? It also says the PURSUIT of happiness, not the right TO happiness. Jesus christ the morons that visit slashdot these days...............
"Is it written in the law that I have the right to breath air?"
Yes it's called "The right to life" as in "Life liberty and pursuit of happiness". It's written down somewhere, I'm sure of it, maybe google knows..... hmmmmmm
Key? What key? I have never had a key on an Apple OS. Considering you can only run it on an Apple system there is literally no need for a key.
I'm looking at my Panther boc right now and no key is to be found, nor on the Appleworks box right next to it, and oh look, no key for my iLife 04 box.
I agree for the most part. Panther was however improvement enough for me to pay the 130$. Jaguar was buggy on my system and the finder drove me absolutely insane.
All that said, the nickel and dime tactics Apple is using right now is indeed backfiring. G5 sales have not met expectations, dot Mac is collapsing because it's features suck, it's way over priced and is plagued with downtime. iLife is very cool but most users can't use it due to not owning keyboards, digi cams, camcorders etc.. Apple is surviving on the iPod and neglecting everything else while at the same time nickel and diming their existing customer base to death. Upgrade costs on PC's is what initially drove people to Macs. A Mac would last you twice as long as a PC so being twice the price was no big deal. Now however macs are still twice or even three times the price, you now have to pay additional to stay up to date with all the software and each new iteration breaks backwards compatibility (Take the new Safari no longer working on Jaguar).
Apple has taken a historically easy to use system and made it complex with expensive upgrade pathing, complicated application suites, confusing marketing and horrible customer support (for dot mac at least).
I'm so weary of Apple software right now I've been moving away from all their software with the exception of OSX itself. I've moved to Tbird and Firefox etc... and I haven't looked back.
I hope the team figures all of this out before it's too late. They are pissing people off right now which is the absolute last thing they should be doing with such a small user base. Every sale counts and when you have a lack of customers every sale counts that much more.
I get better junk mail handling, TB is ten times faster at checking mail. No one has been able to explain to me yet why it takes Mail.app a full 20 seconds or more to check POP3 while TB does it in less than 5 second. I'm now using IMAP and like TB's way of handling it.
Mail.app feels like a childs email client. It's restrictive and when I'm using it I feel like I'm wrestling with it constantly. There is an element of that in TB but I've been able to find extensions for the things that bother me.

Apple has weathered almost 2 decades with less than 5 billion on hand. MS could be around for 100 years and not make a single dollar in profit.

Oh great, lava surfing. That's all we need. Anyone remember Kurt Russell surfing in Escape from LA? God I hope it's not that lame.
