If you are fantasizing about asteroids, you are even stranger than I. I stayed up last night photographing Leonids, and hoped a freak one would land just in front of me.

Checking the early morning Hotmail... *sigh* another ad for me to get a bigger penis. Imagine if my real friends were always telling me to get a bigger penis? I'd have no where to turn.
I bought a Timex Data Link, that reads the phone numbers, birthdays, and more from the database you type into the computer. It uses a barcode reader, but the program doesn't work on a Pentium II unless I slow it down.
The battery lasted for 3 years as promised, and I'm only on my second battery now. I would highly recommend this watch to anyone who doesn't want to carry around a wallet full of membership numbers, and such. Great phonebook too.
Think about this. What does everyone think when they see someone arrested. Our first instinct is not that they are innocent, unless perhaps it is a black man in LA.
When the two sniper suspects were arrested, what did you hear people saying? Did they say the accused snipers? No, everyone on the news even is calling them the snipers. UNTIL A COURT FINDS THEM GUILTY, THEY ARE INNOCENT, AND JUST ACCUSED! If the media brands them of guilt, then what chance of a fair trial do they have? And what about their lives after? They won't be able to get a decent steady job even if they tried.
The media is an animal when it is in regards to court cases in the US. And the Canadian media isn't far from catching up:-(
If you were hurt while on this job, then you would not get the benefit of any plans that you may have had while you were employed there.
Plus I see nothing wrong with helping out with advice a few weeks after a job, as long as you left on decent terms, but if you have to go to the office to do something, then you should be getting paid! Send them a reasonable invoice.
My biggest problem with this is that it doesn't account for people who are stupid, or disabled, or have poor social skills. This kind of program allows the government to single out a person and harm them simply because they didn't have a pocket on their clothing, or were robbed of their wallet, or are unable to communicate with a police officer.
How could nudists carry a card like this with them? Won't someone please think of the nudists! And of course the next logical step is to integrate this into smart cards with all our other plastic, and then when carrying that one card becomes a chore, we can just implant a chip and be done with it [or tape it to our skin like a nicotine patch of sorts].
People who want to live our their lives and not bother anyone shouldn't be bothered in return. Bothering those kind of people leads to people who want to be left alone, but because you made em mad, they's gonna shoot ya!
You've never seen DS9, have you AC? I was initially pissed off at my TV station that promised Trekkers that they would bring the new Star Trek series to our screens, and when they fell through, I transferred that anger to DS9 itself. I was saying, "Well how good could a show where they don't go anywhere be?" It was sour grapes, until I say my first show in Winnipeg on a 4 inch black and white screen, and I loved it. I was in Trek withdrawl, and DS9 was my new fix.
Years later, I started to tape the show at my Grandparents house, and when the tape was full, I'd bring it home and watch it. I got to see Voyager this way too. I started watching just when both series started to get really good. I watched the last 3 seasons of DS9 with a 3 week tape delay. Anyone who has seen more than a few shows, knows that they leave the station frequently, and even when they don't, interesting aliens visit the station anyway. And there is always Quark's bar and holosuites;-)
TNG doesn't go flying around in every show, and not everyone centers on their voyage, anyway. To keep costs down, both TOS and TNG shot entire shows in closed sets with the meager benefit of stock ship warping shots. I can think of dozens of DS9 episodes where the station is not the scene of the action. And around season 3, Worf and the Defiant show up too:-)
So don't be like me, and bash DS9 before seeing it. Like any Trek series, if you watch it, you'll like it. And if you don't, you aren't using your imagination very well.
I thought you meant they should crash the shuttle into the junk in order to bring it down. I'm sure someone on eBay would buy that even. Hey, they bought my rocks and empty candy wrappers, so why not a smoldering shuttle with Vanguard impact damage?
The market often takes wild shifts, all due to a lawsuit, or some other lawyer induced money exchanging frenzy. If enough people are scared into using "truly" free software, and not the "stolen free" kind, then OS formats will catch on with more than just the geek crowd.
Don't be a nerd and steal, when you can be a geek and use Open Source.
Try Babelfish for translation so you can read about PDAs. I don't use PDAs with built in keyboards, but someone else might find the article interesting.
I just learned about this book in Astronomy a few weeks ago. It is a loss for humanity if it is not recovered, and I hope the fellow who did this will rot.
I don't think it is a waste to bury a few kilograms of earth material a few kilometers deep into a foriegn body. There is something so very geeky yet sexual about that.
Can anyone prove to me in an argument how more electricity is used when a CPU processes more data as opposed to being idle? Before I incorportate that little "fact" into my common sense, I want to know I'm not hearing the latest urban legend.

Going by the Trek Movie LAW, your assumption is irrelevent.
Odd numbered movies are inferior, and will be assimilated.
The DVD and VHS will be added to our Collection.
Resistance of Even numbered movies is futile.
I'll go see ST 11 if, and only if 7 of 9 is present, and is scantily clad.
Windows will die first.
Oh. You mean GNU/Linux distro?
Woah man!

My Astronomy 201 lab instructor is on a plane that has NASA people on it, studying the shower over the Atlantic ocean.
All you other flying folks, I better not hear on the news that a plane was grounded when a beligerent demanded a window seat...
Just make sure it doesn't focus on the paper, or you'll be taking pictures at 4 inches, instead of infinity.

Worf: "MMMMMMMMMMMMMM, what is this drink called?"
Quark: "Prune juice."
Worf: "A drink fit for a WARIOR!"

LOL good one. OMGAOLRULZ would be the least sought after name, I would hope.

I want to be IEEE1394, but that would lead to other problems...
The answer is simple.
1.Name all children with a unique ID
like RTDSG4232342
and don't allow their children to have kids named
RTDSG4232342 Jr.
2.Reassign all adults new names as well.
3. ???
4. Profit
Are these like the robots used in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, where they carry needles and kill people who read books?
Me sending my $800 Canon digital up into the sky to photograph scenes I would otherwise have to get from a low flying plane. Imagine the savings :-)
