I'm not sure what country you're from, but in the USA there is no levy on any analog recording devices or media. There is a 2% levy on digital recording devices and media.
Your model doesn't sound like my reality. My home phone gives me unlimited local and long distance calling for a flat rate. If I didn't want to pay that flat rate, I could pay 5 cents a minute regardless of the hour. However, my mobile phone does charge "more" during peak hours: I have 5000 minutes after 20:00 and 450 between 6:00 and 20:00. But that's not quite the same, is it? You said "telephone network," not "mobile network," which is essentially data and not voice.
The Gospels (at least the Synoptics, for sure) and Acts have been dated by even liberal researchers to the mid and late first century, when some of the apostles and their followers were still alive (John did not pass until ~90 AD). The injection of BS about Jesus' origins would have been easily detected. And, of course, the scriptures said he would be born in Bethlehem Ephrathah.
I apologize to everyone at Slashdot for even entertaining this bizarre, trollish post.
I belive that one reason is that scientists are still trying to defeat, with evidence and reason, the religious fundamentalists who believe we are the only "intelligent" life in the Universe, and on the only planet that supports life. On this argument, which I personally doubt, conclusive evidence that life existed elsewhere in the universe and could make itself known would cause the collapse of fundamentalist religions, to the enormous benefit of the rest of us.
It's great to know that scientists are wasting their time trying to "disprove" religion instead of working on problems that present a clear challenge to life-- you know, trivial things like poverty, disease, and alternate forms of energy. Your agenda ignores the benefit of the faith-based charities that feed, clothe, house, and heal.
Mail should be plain ASCII in most cases (You don't know if the receiver of the email can read HTML mails)
Or, you could just include the HTML or rich text as an attachment in a multi-part message. The plaintext version will appear first even in a dumb email client and be perfectly readable.
Of course they were released after Reagan took office - and the Iranians thought this justified their tactics. It's because they made a secret deal with Reagan and GHWB to trade arms for hostages and delay their release until after the election.
And Dick Cheney cooks babies at Halliburton company picnics!
I'm in the UK, BTW, one of the staunchest allies of the USA over the last century, but I have to tell you that there's not a cat in hell's chance we'll join the next US military action we're invited to.
"We might make a mistake (and leftists will say we "lied"), so let's not even try!"
By the way, the USA was using YOUR intelligence!
What other president's administration has called the Geneva Convention "Quaint" and "Obsolete"? See: Sherman's march to the sea, the deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure, etc. etc. And that, kids, is why you should know your history before posting on/.
No kidding... that was a hell of a long time before the Geneva Convention.
Yes. After all, didn't the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor? Basically the Germans said was, "We're going to try to kill you," which is what every Islamist in the Middle East has been saying for decades.
If you can't tell the difference between people who target civilians and those who use deadly force to stop them, then I have little hope for an ignorant sort like you. Try going back to preschool so they can teach you the difference.
Oh yeah, and we're still entrenched in a losing battle with terrorism.
That's funny, because I haven't seen a successful terrorist attack on American soil since 2001. Not that this administration's policies are winning it, but they're certainly not losing. And please don't point at any terrorism happening anywhere else as the fault of US foreign policy. After all, the left keeps telling us that we're supposed to keep our Imperialistic hands out of everything (unless, of course, those hands are extending billions of dollars in aid and charity every year).

12 GB? You call that big? I haven't seen an Exchange mail store that small!
Wow... your garbage rant has almost nothing to do with the topic of the article.
VA was an accepted postal abbreviation for Virginia way, way, way before there was a vatican.va.
Most blogs read like something Robert Smith would write on a bathroom stall.
Yes. English has many unique features, such as the capitalization of the first word of a sentence and the termination of such with a period.

It would have been nice if the Muslims had minded their own business and not tried to take over Europe.

Really... that Adobe jester is horrible. Impressive, but repulsive. Another "what were they thinking?" moment.

The top 10% of earners pay 70% of the taxes. If that isn't "sharing the wealth," then socialism is much nastier than I thought.
Where the hell are my mod points? Great and informative post!
