    Ok, so you keep her from having her throat slit so that she can survive to die in burning horror as the Hijacker crashes the plane into a target of opportunity? How is this doing anyone a favor.

    I'm not a native English speaker, I am a native english(American) speaker, and I frequently correspond with those who are and the use of singular verbing for group nouns is not uncommon. I was trying to correct your and others ignorance. IHBTIHLIWHAND.

    No, Spaceship One and the like are Private Commercial projects. NASA is governmental civilian. And the Various weapon programs(SR-71, B-1, B-2, F(B)-117) are Military.

    Yup... Since Nintendo are(is) a corporation. It is correct in English(American) to use either a singular or a Plural verb.

    Yeah, that sounds about right... W2k= NT 5.0.0.9

    WXP=NT 5.1.0.0.2600

    so this is something similar. the NT 5 kernal is the same on XP and 2k and likely on WinXBox AKA WXB

    Never underestimate the power of guilt and pity on the rich... But when taxes take the sting out of guilt and pity, then you will tend to see less giving.

    You seem confused about what the word civilian means. In the context of NASA it refers to "non-military" yes NASA is Government sponsored supported and controlled, but the pilots and astronauts are civilians ... with security clearances to be sure, but as civilians they of course can quit at any time and are not subject to military justice or discipline.

  13. Re:Slightly more information on Home Made Star Wars Movie Injury · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Just remember however that the lies that we went in for were not told by George Bush. George Bush recieved poor/misleading intelligence. Sadaam Hussein lied and claimed both to his own people/government/army that there were still weapons and that they were sufficient to stop the US. Those were the lies that brought the US into Iraq. If Sadaam Hussein had not lied, and had complied with the cease fire(NOT peace) agreement. the US would not have needed to CONTINUE the war.

    First... I use Eudora for E-mail ... the free ad supported version so... We'll shoot that thought down.

    I don't use Opera because it isn't free... What? you say there is an ad supported version.. well When I'm browsing I DON"T WANT ADS taking up my screen real estate. BUT!! you say, you use Eudora with ads... Well yes, but real estate isn't important for text and it is important for browsing... I wouldn't play an ad supported game with a banner across the top of my screen either... I want to have as much screen real estate available for browsing or playing as possible.

    SO while I will continue using Eudora and would use an ad supported productivity suite(Word processing, Spreadsheet, database I won't use ad supported gaming or web browsing tools and THAT is why Opera is off the table(for me).

    NO behaviour defines sexuality... Having Sex with MEN makes you GAY. Accept it.

    You aren't straight no matter how much you claim otherwise if you habitually customarily have sex with men.

    AND yes... when applicable I will use a fictional example when appropriate... In the show there was a group of men who got together to have homosexual sex, but they went home and had "relationships" with women and claimed that somehow made them straight... IT DOESN'T.

    The person you are describing is ultimately a-sexual in the discussion at hand... the gay/straight discussion at hand is.. can someone who regularly has gay sex claim to be straight... and the obvious simple answer is NO!

    Like the show or not Law and Order SVU actually did a show about that very subject.
