I used to play it back in the day. It used to be a lot of fun; hell, I met my wife on there. That being said, there has been too much change for the sake of change and I'm not enjoying it at all these days.
U.S. post offices have security cameras these days. You can't mail anything that weighs >15 ounces without getting photographed, whether you know it or not.
I typed in some searches I regularly get good hits from on Google and Cuil delivered zero hits each time.
If they indexed three times as many pages as Google, what pages were they? Porn I hope.
The US DOE's Waste Isolation Pilot Plant project wrote a report about this some years ago and it had some interesting ideas on how to warn future peoples away. Sadly, the document name and number aren't handy at the moment.

Ribulose is the enzyme complex used by plants for fixing Carbon Dioxide for sugar synthesis. It is, to put it mildly, extremely important for life on this planet. Yet it has a massive design flaw - it is poisioned by oxygen! Oxygen causes it to run backwards, burning the very sugars a plant is trying to make. This makes sense from the viewpoint of evolution; photosynthesis evolved when there was no atmospheric oxygen, so it was not a problem, and now the ecological niche for photosynthesis is filled; a better solution has no space to evolve. Yet a designer could 'drop in' a complete new pathway at any time; the conspicuous failure of this to happen being a problem for ID, usually dealt with by sidestepping or ignoring.
Thanks for the information.
I am sad I moved to Kansas.
I also really like Voom.
I also agree about the old movies. Watching "The Manchurian Candidate" in HD was amazing. Their exclusive programming is awesome. I really like the HD concerts. Good stuff.
The selling point for me was there was no contract to sign! Month to month baby!
I had a minor problem with OTA reception but that was fixed by an antenna upgrade.
Agreed; plants *are* designed for these types of scenarios.
Most folks are blissfully unaware of the security at the plants. Those yahoos who keep prodding the perimeter at Indian Point with their boats to show 'how bad security is here' likely don't realize that they are being continuously tracked/monitored/sighted in. It would be an extremely difficult task to sneak something past a)the bomb sniffer b)the metal detector and c)the nice men with the semiautomatic weapons.
Even though it looks big, the reactor building would be difficult to hit with a jet liner. By the time you violated the no-fly airspace around the plant your chances of making it to the target would probably be slim anyway.
Some utilities now are beginning to license sites for new nuclear plants. Will actual new construction in the U.S ever happen within my lifetime? I certainly hope so.
If you want pager, cell phone, game console, radio, PDA, digital camera, and an MP3 player all in one, then go buy a Handspring Prism. You can buy them used on eBay for around $50 or less. You can pick up springboards for them that do all of the functions you listed plus some you didn't (GPS, language dictionary, WiFi card, and more).
Two years ago I attended an industry conference and one of the topics presented was communication with our Representatives. We were told that in the eyes of vast majority of Congressmen they preferred letters over email and that emails are usually deleted unread.
Why? The reps have no way of knowing where the emailer lives!
When writing your Congressman, *always* write a letter, it's not that hard.

Nah, it was an engineered bioweapon that ate superconductors.
What model is this? It sounds like exactly what I am looking for.

Scary. You have a reference for that?
You spelled ronrey wrong.
I just spent the last 5 minutes trying to activate that feature. Well played, CannonballHead, well played.

318ti.org has made Cafepress calendars for years with no complaints. Why would Mustangs be different?
I never made it through that book. I really wanted to but I couldn't.
You idiot! Now the terrorists know our weakness!
One of my favorite episodes. That and "The Way We Weren't".
It only puts money in their pockets if you support the sponsors.
A.I. should have ended with the boy at the foot of the statue but NOOOOOOO, Spielberg had to tack on a Spielberg ending.

I'm sure the same speech given by John Crichton would have been more interesting...
Lawsuits. ;-)
I do agree with you though. A few warning shots should get the point across.

I switched from Bank of America to Netbank and was wondering why PayPal wouldn't accept Netbank. Now I know why.
Thanks for the information.
But I don't see how you got your account verified. Can you explain?

I'd like to see a working Enigma machine made in a similar vein. Now *that* would be cool.
