Honestly, what business do both the UK and France have on the security council?
If I recall correctly, it's mostly a matter of checking a box next to the question 'Did you win World War 2?' At the time the Security Council was created, remember that both France and Britain had most of their empires intact. Germany and Japan where bombed out wrecks. Now, based on economic power at least, both countries outclass UK and France.
Also note that the list roughly conforms to the list of major nuclear powers-giving each one the ultimate veto is sort of a metaphor. That's actually one of the only things that makes sense about the whole concept, although it sort of flies in the face of what the UN is supposed to be.
Better yet, it would be cool if you could put one of these things in half of a large pair of binoculars. Then you could aim it through the remaining side, to find your target and watch for physical activity.
Speaking as one of Mr Jackson's greatest fans, I consider Moonwalker to be a highly entertaining game. I only described it as unforgettable.
Actually, I've probably racked up more time on Moonwalker than any other game on an emulator. Every now and then I feel tired, depressed or just in need of a little laugh and Moonwalker is always there for me.
... but a man from the same circle that produced Life of Brian has a better shot than most, I suppose...
Not to mention Jabberwocky, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and, most importantly, Brazil. I'd say that if anyone can get a movie as weird as Good Omens would have to be made, it's Gilliam. Or not made, if necessary. He's had more than his share of projects go up in smoke because someone thought they were too weird, probably some of them could have been saved if he was willing to tone down.
It's a stock swap. No money is involved.
So apparently there's nothing stopping them from swapping back and forth acquiring each other several times a day.
you'd be surprised at how easy it is to get the ear of your county commissioner, district attorney, or city councilman.
Which is why the corporations are trying, in this case, to circumvent the local governments by using the state legislature to overrule them. The state level is where the interface between people and politicians start to break down. It's still possible to get elected by going door to door shaking hands and explaining how you plan to do your job. I personally know a state rep who does this and his party hates him for this. But the easier and these days more travelled route is to spend a lot of money on advertising.
You misunderstand. Reread the summary. They actually have a catalog containing the corpses of all the long distance subscribers. As such, all the rules involving cemeteries should apply here. Who needs TFA when I have Slashdot to boil it down to the basic ideas?
My experience of NeXTstep more or less consists of this video, but I think he's refering to the menus which, in Mac OS X as well as earlier Mac OSs, are along the top of the screen. In NS, they seem to be in a floating pallet, with one menu item on top of the next.
When I downloaded it half an hour ago I thought it was remarkably sluggish to download for something posted on MacSlash several days ago. Now I understand.
Anyway, this is pretty cool stuff. You can definitely see the broad strokes of OS X in most every part of this demo. Interface builder still ruled.
A few years ago, I was this close to buying a NeXT box at a University surplus store but it wasn't in booting condition and I didn't have time to determine what was wrong with it. WOuld have been fun to play with though.
One would think that 'vague direction' and 'a lot of explorations' would come up with something innovative. But, as can be seen from the picture, what do we have?
A droid, in the shape and likliness of a human, holding two lightsabers. I mean honestly!
Oops! You didn't study the picture closely enough. Gen. Grievous is clearly wielding not two but THREE lightsabers. Let's all raise our voices to congratulate Mr. Lucas for striking off in this radical new direction.
Did anyone else waste 30 seconds of his life trying to figure out what a logical exclusive and would work like? Please let me not be the only one.

Second, your assertion that Harvard's definition of "white" excludes European "whites" is implausible on the face of it and is unsupported by the document you cited.
Can't comment on your first statement, I just happen to not trust statistics cited in racist diatribes. I'm not going to spend any more time digging around. And you know, the real reason the statistics aren't right there isn't because of some massive conspiracy, it's because no one cares about this stuff anymore except racists like you.
But on the second point, I'm correct. See, if you add all the categories, including the various races and 'international, you get 100%. And the 3400 figure is the same as the total on the page that shows the ethnic breakdown of international students. So no one's being counted twice on the first list-if you're international it doesn't lump you in with whites, latinos or whatever.
White gentiles, comprising 73% of the general population get only 18% of the seats at Harvard. They are under-represented by a _factor_ of 4 times. If blacks were similarly under-represented at Harvard, they would have only 3% of the seats. In fact, they have 8%.
Those stats didn't sound quite right to me, and they seem to contradict the numbers in Harvard's own information book:
It shows (American) whites as comprising 44 percent of the student body. And since a third of the international students are from Europe, that probably tips the total over half. No info on how many are 'gentiles' though.
That's less than the 70 some percent whites make up of the population, but lets see who is even more under-represented: Wow, even though blacks make up about 12% of the population, they're just 6.3 percent at Harvard! And Hispanics, who I believe recently passed blacks as Largest minority in the US, have just 5.5%!
Of course we all know who the real culprits are: those crafty Asians and Pacific Islander's. Of course their status as the lone over-represented race is due to white guilt, not a culture that values academic achievement. (/end sarcasm)
To disclose my slight personal connection to the issue: My uncle was the first Irish Catholic to get tenure at the history department at Harvard.
In '98, Apple introduced the iMac and we were deluged by thousands of products with an i (or some other arbitrary letter if the company wants to seem like rebels) dropped in front of some catchy word. We may just be coming out of that now, 7 years later. For the next 7 years, should we expect everything to be 'mini?'

NAR: And I, I walked over to the, to the bench there, and there is, Group W's where they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army after committing your special crime, and there was all kinds of mean nasty ugly looking people on the bench there. Mother rapers. Father stabbers. Father
rapers! Father rapers sitting right there on the bench next to me! And they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible crime-type guys sitting on the bench next to me. And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanest father raper of them all, was coming over to me and he was mean 'n' ugly 'n' nasty 'n' horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to me and said, "Kid, whad'ya get?" I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay $50 and got IP banned from America's Army."
Heh, "Group W" seems appropriate in ways I hadn't thought of before.

From what I've read of their contracts with artists, the RIAA is probably charging them for the privilege.

They probably thought it was part of a money laundering scheme.
Hell no, you could get sued if you damage their brand name like that.
