The original screenplay for Alien 3 brought them to Earth. For some reason, it was dropped and the crappy prison story was used instead. It may have been for bugetary reasons. Sigourney took over as executive producer.
Real VNC 4 has this same problem. One of my clients uses it and set the password to a 12 key entry, with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and a special character. Too bad most of his non-alphas were at the end...
And that's why I like Ubuntu. It really does just work. For me, anyway.
I've tried Linux several times:
1997: Slackware - Back in the day, this was like brain surgery.
2000: Redhat - PRM hell.
2003: Suse - Several hardware problems and crappy UI.
2006: Ubuntu - Here and loving it.
I loaded Ubuntu with the thought that I could just boot to XP whenever I wanted (dual boot). I haven't logged back into XP yet.
Ubuntu does everything I need "out of the box". The only thing that I added to it was Crossover. It's inexpensive and make managing Windows apps easy and centralized.
I still don't think that Ubuntu is 100% ready for the desktop just yet, but it's damn close.
I when through the same train of logic that you did...and I switched to Ubuntu four months ago.
I also purchased Crossover. Now, under Ubuntu, I run two versions of office (XP and 2003), Dreamweaver 8, Flash 8, Photoshop CS, and Amibroker (stock tracking). I was already using FireFox in windows, so that was a no-brainer.
You're stretching the term "neighbours" a bit far. Unless you mean Canada and Mexico.
You're also confusing being at war with others and being at war with your fellow man.
In any case, none of that changes one of the main points that the GP made: unlike a very large part of the world, the US government has remained solvent since its inception and rarely has an American taken arms up against another American.

WTF are you talking about? Broken much?
Because we live in a politically correct world where every disparity is a racist and/or sexist and not just because people are different.
Yes, when we men get together for a monthly Skull & Bones IT meetings, we talk, and plan, on how to keep women out of the IT field.
Maybe most women don't want into the IT field for the same reason most men aren't too keen being nannies?
It's just that, when using the bloated Word with the equally bloated Vista, they're going to need a year or two to get the list completed.
After watching several episodes of Doctor Who, I can safely say that aliens are in control of those cameras and they mean you no good!
You seem to be knowledgeable about the Hummer. Please, can you tell me why they named a car after a blow job?
And, more importantly, when can I expect the Intercourse model?

The following may have been the original screen (written by William Gibson): http://www.pointlesswasteoftime.com/film/alien3sc
They were so close to making the original screen play that toys were made based on it. The aliens take on some of the properties of the host. It's why the alien in the produced version ran on all fours, it was from a dog. Here's a bull-alien that was made into a toy: http://www.actiontoys.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?
I agree though, having them come to Earth would kick ass.

So much Dr. Pepper, so much ruined keyboard...
Did you read the section titled "The Lion King controversy"?

What do you tell the RIAA who has two black eyes? Nothing it hasn't heard twice before. :)
I guess that an F just isn't punishment enough anymore for writing a bad paper...
If your 2 year old son is already using Linux, you really need to give up any hope of ever having a grandchild. :)

A video sharing site from a company known for DRM and shitting on its customers!
Yeah...

In other words, you don't have to wait.
"The US is not a country."
Sadly, I believe that you're serious.
You're stretching the term "neighbours" a bit far. Unless you mean Canada and Mexico.
You're also confusing being at war with others and being at war with your fellow man.

Bow chicka bow wow...
I blame my mother. :)
Yeah, I guess I did react a bit too harshly to your post. For that I apologize. But I was in a foul mindset towards Slashdot.
Truth be told, I'm really quite tenacious. Which can be good or bad.
It's just that sometimes the mods do things that make no sense. Like modding a perfectly good joke, that's non-offensive, as "troll."
There's no confusion, there are a lot of the mods on Slashdot, probably people like you, that are petty and lack a sense of humor.
Oh, and this is your cue to tell me that I can leave.
Every day the gap between Slashdot and Digg grows smaller.
My point exactly.
