It seems then that education can subdue a feeling of loss after an economic tradgedy. Most people who lost their savings in Enron for instance, were not aware their retirement hinging on the profitability of one company, was not a secure portfolio.
I hope they are taking some precautions to reduce the terestrial contamination of regions of Mars where we expect there is the posibility of sustaining life. Because if we land something where there is frozen water, we could very well seed it with micro-organisms from Earth.
People will think that since "only they can fire it", that they can treat the gun with less respect than an average one. And will there be restrictions so that a parent can't add a child to the gun's permission list, unless the child is certified to operate it?
After all, most gun deaths with children happen in the home, or are brought on by either themselves or a family member. It really would defeat the purpose of this safety mechanism in a large way if people can be added to the firing list willy nilly.
That's not actually the case in law. In practice, there is a lot more leeway as far as satire, of famous people. However, if you are Oprah, and say you're not going to eat Uncle Tex's cattle because they are diseased, when they are in fact not diseased, then she'd have been successfully sued for slander. If Uncle Tex had said Oprah is a pedophile and that's why she doesn't eat veal, well I'd think she'd successfully sue back.
The Rules of Law, no one [not even Oprah, or Bush] are above the law.
Well, it's not completely stupid. I mean, he has a valid idea, and people would be able to legitimately advertise. Unless it's a private auction, then each bidder also gets their ID visible to all/.ers, who might click it, and go to their store, and buy something. The joke bidders are actually pretty smart, as long as they aren't left holding a $14 forehead.

You're exactly right. The people who do the most sharing, and especially the bleeding edge stuff are in it simply for the thrill of going against the Machine, and there aren't even enough hours in the day to listen to every song they have, or watch every movie. They simply have it, because it is there, and it gives them status with their peers. And I don't mean peers in the P2P software sense, I mean peers as in people. These people have no or little offline life. Their friends are mostly online, and may be in other countries even. I wasn't being a troll when I said they have no social life. I mean they have no social life, as 80%+ of society views a "real" social life.
These people talk and probably spend a better part of the day or night on IRChat and do so because they have no more social life, than the average/.er.
It seems common sense [to me anyway] that to get a "free" iPod from some company or person that is giving one away, they stand to gain something in return. Since I don't know precisely what they are gaining, since it isn't money from me, and I have to assume they aren't doing it in the Christmas Spirit and giving for the sheer joy of it, then it only stands to reason that they are going to loot me in some way.
Some people might not mind having their personal browsing or comsumer habits monitored at every turn or click, but I'd rather keep some anonymity. Especially from companies which are quite obviously associated with spamming, and pyramid scheming.

Saskatchewan is one of the last places in North America to have a Crown owned Telephone system [the government runs it at arm's length].
MAX TV which is TV over DSL has been around for over a year, and most of the provinces schools and libraries are online. A government initiative called CommunityNet.ca [and soon to roll out CommunityNet II which is wireless internet] is part of the government's strategy to give highspeed access to 95% of the population which is just under 1 million people.
There are several sites that say repeat "trips" can occur years later, or the drug can even trigger forms of mental illness. Personally I wouldn't consider using it, any more than I'd consider smoking a cigarette.
With the multiple vulnerabilities in IE that allow people to spoof the URL in both the address bar and the status bar, it's amazing that anyone could trust IE again.
Microsoft has gone so far as to recommend people copy and paste a link's text into the address bar, to avoid clicking on links.
Now there's a browser you can trust, use it, but don't click any links...
More likely, the benefit the Parent poster derives from sex is from the post-coitus sleep. If he's like most/. readers, he's a computer programmer, and thus is very sleep deprived from coffee and staying up until 5am to fix bugs or add features.

" is a nuclear reaction."
OK, but then the organism has a good supply of energy that means. I'm sure if we could design something to operate in space, then so can nature.

It was an example only, not a real life situation I was explaining.

Make sure your video card does not require a fan to work. It will be just one more thing to break and fix later.

First take a screen shot with print screen.
Record the IP, and the time on paper.
Verify what country from the IP. Contact the local authorities by phone or email and send the details.
I'm betting on the Pet Foil Hat Technology. After all, CNN featured it on their Headline News channel in October of 2003.
How is it "wrong" to blanket a group with a common characteristic, using their common characteristic as the blanket?

Oh certainly there are exceptions. And there's no reason a primarily online social life can't function well either.
