I guess it's different in the states, and possibly elsewhere, but in canada (or at least the handful of cities I've lived in), they've been using rubber in pavement on busy streets for years.
you have to be kidding. 3 quarters of the human race live in the 3rd world. Even in the richest of cities, like, say, New York City, there are massive homeless populations.
mandrake is a name (not a common one, iirc) in germany. or it might have been france. some place I went to when I was 6, anyway. aside from that, I dimly recall the alchemical reagent mandrake root.
where did you find this? I'm curious, as this is one of the best arguements for paying for software I've heard. The gist of it has been said many times, but it is here stated rather well by a recognized source.
like it or not, we currently live in a world where people my age (teenagers), simply aren't used to paying for software. If we want music, we download it. We actually go to stores to get ideas, as there isn't any better distribution method out there, but it simply never occurs to most people I know to pay for software. It's oddly interesting.
a couple weeks (days?) ago, a story was posted about dimitri skylarov. I imagine you've heard of it. anyhoo, someone made a comment along the line of "In Soviet Russia, the Law violates you... oh, wait". this being in relation to the US violation of Russian laws to capture dimitri for DMCA violations. from there, some idiot decided to post it without the '... oh wait', and it snowballed.
uh... true. if a modern day plane get's zapped by electricity, a fuel shortage won't be the problem. but it will either only flow over the skin of the plane, in which case an electric one is safe to, or it'll somehow get into the engine, which in case you had any doubt makes the plane screwed regardless of what it runs on.
hint. computer-controlled. the flight of a passenger flight is largely automated. you think they turn the wingflaps by hand? or with a gas motor? NO.
I still think it's kinda sick hoiw seriously people seem to take the governments propagada...
the nihilists who despise our culture, as unholy as they are, inch daily toward the means of unleashing biblical fury.
I mean, at least those outside the US should object to this... I mean, sure, maybe some psycho hobos in caves in afghanistan hate americans because they're evil (I doubt it). the rest of the world just hates americans because they pump out this sort of propoganda with a straight face.
I love how the news outlets are saying, "error", "irregularity", "problem", as if this was all some sort of tragic accident
think about it. the 'news outlets' are owned by many of the same transnationals that are committing these 'irregularitys'. you expect them to turn on themselves? that's not capitalism.
this may be a surprise to you, but that's supposed to be 8 8-ounce glasses a *day*. as in have about a class every 2 hours. think you can handle that, or is it to much for your delicate guts?
Sure, maybe it isn't GWB's fault. He hasn't done anything but the war on terrorism (a sick joke at best) that has had any real effect. and even for that, he was probably just a figurehead.
Likewise, it isn't any more Clintons fault. he was just a figurehead, everything he was credited for was set up before he was elected. (well, everything that related to him being president)
Really, this slide in the economy has been going on for about 20 years. everything we've had since is artificial.
Have you ever noticed, for example, that every time the US economy starts to slide, we get a major war? WW1. WW2. Vietnam War (which most americans still don't know was a war of indepenence). The War on Drugs (tm). The War on Terrorism. It might seem odd that most of these wars weren't the US's fault, but why do they keep happening on time, then? and why never on the high points of the US economy?
I keep hearing "sooner or later, the people are gonna wake up and take this country back." So why hasn't it happened? Because americans have largely become apethetic, lazy, brainless slugs. they're never gonna wake up, so its really a case of "wait until the US economy falls". which, alas, is gonna be a couple bloody wars from now.
not that anyone cares, but there really is no eastern hemishpere, no is there? It was defined as such using a 2d map. scientists have recently come to the conclusion it isn't, ergo there's no eastern hemisphere.
So no, they can't. Unless they were americans, in which case they could, stupidity being (tho only) right appliable to all americans.
if you really want to talk to someone on another protocol, use trillian, gaim, or whatever multi-protocol client you prefer.
but if they were all converted to one protocol, think of what we'd lose. what are your favorite features of any given protocol? if they were all poorly binded together, I guarantee you'd lose most of them.

Slow down. You think we started this war? What was it that I saw in downtown Manhattan on September 11, then?
>>>>
Yes, I DO think you started this war. American foreign policy started this war. Slave labour so your levi's and t-shirts are cheap started this war. Putting 3/4 of the human race in 3rd-world lifestyles to support our's started this war.
And the CIA school of the america's training, among many other's, some middle-eastern prince named Osama Bin Laden to help take down the soviets DEFINETLY started this war.
Who the bloody hell did you think started it?
trying not to flame, but why use trains of cars? why not use the far more efficient method oft used throughout europe? you can guess this. Trains. they were killed off by oil companies in the usa decades ago, just like the 100 mile/gallon engines oil companies copyrighted to protect their "interests". The problem isn't bad cars, bad drivers, or bad communication. the problem is whenever a new way comes along, some reactionary corperations destroy it. (RIAA? MPAA? sound familiar?

oh c'mon, let's face it. to john/jane doe, all computers run the same OS, and the 10% of netizens that know of other OSes don't need a warning.

It's the Age of Disparity, not Plenty.
the statement of claim is actually here
I realize it has little to do with the topic at hand, but a random link to openNIC(http://www.opennic.unrated.net/) is neccesary anyway.

"A priest without alcohol, that's the wrong combination," he said. "Jesus didn't say, take this healthy camomile tea, he offered wine."
Heh.
maybe it's different in your part of the continent, but ever noticed they're all ads for the same 2-3 companies ads?

because the last 3 articles I read were slasdotted
I think so... it seems so obvious, to my sick little mind, and we can't be the only 2 on /.
for those who are unimaginite, think geeky sex-toys.
I mean, at least those outside the US should object to this... I mean, sure, maybe some psycho hobos in caves in afghanistan hate americans because they're evil (I doubt it). the rest of the world just hates americans because they pump out this sort of propoganda with a straight face.
and what have they got against nihilists?
the majority of people on /. are americans. so yes, he probably would.
(kinda flamebait, but you still have a pathetic literacy rate for a first world country. much less the *only* superpower)
eh, which would you rather have? restrictions on freedom of speech? or some flaming idiot waging war on the free world?
