No one is mentioning this, not even Michael Moore (he only cares about what he can get on video).
Half an hour is plenty of time for the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES to initiate useful action. For comparison, that's WAY more than the time needed to get nuclear missiles ordered, targeted & launched at enemy targets.
Bush is supposedly an experienced military pilot, right? He should have politely excused himself and IMMEDIATELY scrambled fighters into the air over every major city. He should picked one of our command centers (Cheyenne Mountain? White House sub-basement?) to coordinate with civil authorities and get all of the facts in one place so someone might see the patterns.
Maybe it wouldn't have helped the Pentagon, or Flight 93. We'll never know, because he did NOTHING.
I think the journalist may have mixed up his notes. None of the recent CERT advisories mention Mozilla, Opera, or non-Windows OSes. However, friday's SANS report says:
we recommend that you (*) install and maintain anti virus software (*) if possible turn off javascript, or use a browser other then MSIE until the current vulnerabilities in MSIE are patched.
"We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors." -- Ann Coulter, 02/26/2002
context in which he shows this true footage he implies other things. What happens is that people go and say "you said this, it isn't true!" when in fact he technically only implied it.
And of course, this is the perfect way to counter the exact same method being used by BushCo. The most notable example, of course, is conspicuously inserting 9-11 and Al Qaida into every pre-war discussion of Iraq. They never directly said "Iraq was involved in 9-11", but somehow 2/3rds of US citizens came to believe it.

Yes, the D&D world design was heavily influenced by Tolkien. When the gang in Wisconsin branched from medieval combat simulation into fantasy, they started with their favorite books. And yes, this led to legal problems.
"But before I start, I should tell you that the David bridge software has been running the Microsoft Powerpoint presentation on this computer," said Chua pointing to the computer running on Red Hat Linux
If they have a working demo, it should be testable. If they don't, they shouldn't send wild press releases.
Bizarre but true: ICBMs in hardened silos or hidden submarines exist to PREVENT war. They say to the world: "whatever you hit us with, we can turn your country to rubble 15 minutes later". Second-strike nukes help keep the peace. Sure, total world disarmament would be even safer, but it's not gonna happen.
Conversely and perversely, ABMs are more likely to PROVOKE war. They say to the world: "your missiles don't scare us, so we can be complete assholes now". You might think Bush foreign policy already implements that, but Bush with ABMs would be so much more.
Do some reading on http://www.google.com/search?q=prisoner's-dilemma+ nuclear
Missile defense is a great idea, except for one little problem: WE DO NOT HAVE INFINITE MONEY. Spending gigadollars on airborne lasers takes funding away from more practical defenses. If you're really worried about rogue nukes, protect the goddamn seaports first.
What an awful web site. It's forced into a tiny 600 pixel frame, the gifs are badly dithered, the HTML is W3C noncompliant, and worst of all, the shopping cart isn't built yet. How do they expect to stay in business? I haven't seen such a pathetic ecommerce site since 1999.

Depending on your point of view. IMO, the theme of the book -- "everyone would be better off if they did everything that scientists like Ellie and me told them to do" -- isn't any better. I really like that theme in Sagan's NONfiction books (e.g. Demon-Haunted World) but it pushed Contact towards Mary-Sue territory.
excellent twist at the end of the book
Yeah, that would have been nice, and even fit with the science & religion theme.
More meat
Novels will always be better at detail than movies. It's the nature of the media.
1: in the book, Palmer is a barely-tolerable annoyance, while Ellie and her beau are obvious avatars for Sagan & Druyan, horrendously sappy. Ellie & Palmer made the movie story better.
2: in the book, there's a whole multinational team, but they're ALL pie-eyed scientists operating on the exact same wavelength, therefore all able to be discredited simultaneously. Also, they got to choose their own gear completely? And none of them had EM-proof recording equipment? The movie version was more plausible.
Slashdot Mirror
named after Giovanni Domenico Cassini
False. Everyone involved in the pursuit of emergency medical-care vehicles knows that NASA illegally named it after fashion designer Oleg Cassini to infringe on his intellectual property. The rings of Saturn clearly owe him royalties.

This question has already been asked and answered.
Your servers are safe. Heck, all that EM will shield them from Tempest snooping.
However, if you have any fillings in your teeth, get them replaced with non-conductive material by a certified herbalist. Or do I mean certifiable?
Ever hear of the Inverse-Square Law? The cell phone on your belt clip pumps more EM into your precious racks (and obviously into you) than that tower.
If we don't want the USA to become like Israel, then perhaps we shouldn't be trying so hard to turn Iraq (et al) into giant versions of Palestine?
I guess we should be thankful they're 10000km away.
