Don't read any politics into my post above (to which this is a reply). The "20th hijacker" is probably one of the few people who I am actually glad has been caught in the constitutionally questionable net Ashcroft has thrown.
Well, aparently it doesn't take too many amoral scientists to ruin things, for this "minority" has certainly managed to seed the world with a bouny of sinister weapons.
Oh, Pick off yerself

It's so easy to be a little smart ass on the Net, isn't it? Picked off first, i'd say. Can you back that snide crap up in person? If not, then you should feel like a little sh*t for saying it on the 'Net. But hey, if you happen to be a 4th degree, fire away.
Not exactly the reason they use hydrogen. It is close in mass to the neutron so there is efficient transfer of energy to the hydrogen, which means the neutron slows down fastest in hydrogenated materials. So, the neutron "thermalizes" quickly in water, and it can be more readily absorbed by other things that have a higher reaction rate...like boron.
And let me tell you, the neutrons coming from a fusion reaction aren't "easy" to deal with. They take a lot of slowing down before they get into an energy regime where they are easily absorbed. But, it can be done. Take it from me...I'm a nuclear physicist.
It means, "What would Ayn Rand Do?" She'd hate tariffs, because she likes free markets...or something. Anyway, the most important things is that as a follower of rugged individualism, I should defer all of my own decision making ability to what a dead russian writer who had obvious neuroses would tell me to do...even if I would naturally tend to want to do something else. That's rugged individualism alright.
I don't agree with the Israeli settlement tactics, but it's not exactly like Europe did to the Native Americans since the Jews technically were there first many many moons ago.
fuck my karma....I'll just post anything! What morons....that's almost as bad as disappointing the war protesters with such little civilian loss of life. sorry guys, it just wasn't convenient, better luck next time. It'll be more fun later, maybe. You might have an argument.
I know, I know....you can switch right over from the "collateral damage" arguments to the "I guess the oil companies behind this war felt they needed someone to man the oil fields, so they didn't want that many killed" argument....
No, if the security council was truly democratic, we would have had the resolution passed because France couldn't outright veto it. But I wouldn't want a democratic UN anyway. I like the "unfair" advantage the veto power gives us.
It makes you tire of sitting at home and watching TV and makes you overcome your pride and laziness so that you will go out and work at a hardware story while searching for a "good" job. I used to pollinate corn for a living in high school. I'll do it again if I can't find a job out of school.
If it goes against the way you want the world to be, it's propaganda, but when it presents a world view you find agreeable...thank god those few noble souls were able to leak out the truth.
I don't know, I used to be so interested in SETI, but in the last few years I've lost all enthusiasm for it. I guess because, ultimately, I don't think its likely that intelligent civilizations are very dense out there, and if they did, we'd probably never recognize the signal...and if we did, I'd say, 'okay, now what? We still have to go on living alone because we can't talk back and forth, so it's even more disappointing to know they exist but are unreachable.' We'll probably destroy ourselves before that's an issue, anyway.
Come on, if you grew up in that environment (corn and wheat fields, that is, which don't stink, only cattle and pig lots do), then you'd think it was homely and comforting. I did, and I while I appreciate mountains and enjoy the cities, they aren't home. Don't knock the heartland, bee-yoy.

"To make the internet right...."
"...First you must go left, that's what you were going to say, wasn't it?"
Now, if this is true, people can't bitch about the RIAA to justify downloading free music. Now stealing moves from being a "matter of principle" to just plain stealing. The rationalizations are going to get pretty thin.
However, now that you can get a track for 99 cents, you don't have the excuse that the Recording Industry is ripping you off to justify your theft. Now you are just stealing and you really can't bitch for getting busted.

Watch out then...you'll be the 20th spammer without ever actually having solicited by email.
But The Matrix was lame. Really, it was.
I agree...except for the part about liking it. But that's just me.

It's all an evil conspiracy to ensure the continuance of American national security and global economic continuity. Those Sickos.
It's sex. They give em sex...oh shoot, my karma!
How can you use MS products when you MIGHT be helping terrorists do things so horrible we can't even imagine...there is no moral loophole

Homely = ugly, or so I believed.
Mark that....it is HOMEY...not HOMELY. Stupid me.
