  1. Re:Who cares? on Next DVD Format War Still Wide Open · · Score: 1

    How do you rig a disk to not play in an uncoded player? I know there were rumors last year that they were working on that.

    And delayed from late 3rd/early 4th to Just before Christmas Shopping season isn't really a Delay in the US, It may affect the foreign(Japanese) Market, but it won't impact the US adopters.

    Although I seem to recall the closefighting incident, and the Drill sergeant pointed out that someday you will be out of ammo and a knife still works. I'll have to check for that. Heinlein always had a thing for weapons that didn't run out of ammo.

    I'm picking her against hillary, because hillary is one of the few democrats that stand a chance of getting the nomination that she can beat(with her current resume).

    Oh, and not a Republican here. Prolife Libertarian.

    Well she is argueably Number 2 in the nation. That position is really a tie between secstate and veep, I don't think she'll get the nod unless hillary stands a good chance of winning the Democrat nod, if it ends up Lieberman I expect she'll stay on as secstate on McCain or Guiliani's team.

  14. Re:There are other reasons too... on Why Terror Financing is So Tough to Track Down · · Score: 1

    The devastation was pretty well indescribable, but you hit the nail on the head with not depending on the government, most people on the MS and Florida Gulf Coasts are aware and prepared for the risks and recovery(although this recovery was different). So the mentality of get out or get high(ground) and Hard(shelter) is much more heavily ingrained. That said, recovery is ongoing and will be through the next hurricane season.

    Apparently, we still haven't learned the lesson about "waste products" from the last several centuries. 150 years ago the "waste" was this nasty black petroleum based crud. This century it is "HOT" "SPENT" Nuclear fuel.

    Let me get this straight, a crew of an AC-130, with computer controlled guns, anti-missile defenses and what not, were "sitting ducks" at 2 miles away and 4000 feet up, when faced with a bunch of farmers, in the middle of an empty field, armed with a truck and a tractor. Not even an AK-47 in sight. Could you run this by me again? Something is terribly amiss here.
    so the AC130, which BTW is a sitting duck(always), sees a group of unidentified personel with an object which could be a 2x4, pvc pipe, or a missile launcher fires pre-emptively, and may or may not have been wrong in doing so. Just like you don't point your finger at a cop from your jacket pocket, or make a sudden movement towards your "wallet" you don't point long cylinders at aircraft unless you want to be dead.
