Which is why we'd have to detect it long before it enters our solar system as I said. Something could enter the system and hit the earth within the period of a day. My understanding is that we missed all those recent asteroids (the ones we detected after they passed) due to this fact.
Earth bound observatories could only do so much since we can't use them to look for something heading at us from the direction of the sun (unless we detect it long before it enters our solar system). What's needed is something like the hubble whose sole purpose is to look out for big rocks.
Excuse me? ALL the books? Last I checked there was something like 1400 Dr. Who Books. It's the largest book series in existence. If you've read them all then I'm very impressed.
Hmm, I could've sworn that I had read about pirated copies being made using a DVD writer of some kind. Ah well whatever, I was thinking of the claims that DVD's were piracy-proof.
Dude, the entire legal system of a province (Manitoba I think) was once brought down by someone fighting a parking ticket. Canadians love to fight strange things in court.
If you're wondering, it was because all the laws were written in English only and since Canada had gone bilingual years before, they were all in breach of the law. Some guy got a parking ticket written only in English and he took it all the way to the Supreme Court and ended up forcing the province to completely rebuild their legal system from scratch in english and french.
You're not too bright a fella are ya? Why I bet ya'll go go hunting with guys named Jim-Bob and Joe-Bob and so on... He's refering to the book, not the movie. Yes, it is possible for movies to be based off of written material. The book was so twisted by the time it reached the screen that if they hadn't called it Starship Troopers, no one would have made the connection to Heinlein.
No the series went downhill because Card sucks at writing series. They always start out good and then slowly spiral down into the gutter, or they just plummet there suddenly (the last book of Homecoming annoyed me a great deal).
No, that's precisely what they don't need. Notice that the first two (which were the most popular) were also the only ones that didn't have a big plot line linking all the episodes (like war, the voyage home, etc).

You sound like the Oracle.

NeXtBox would have been far more delicious.
Did Slashdot just crash a website BEFORE it had even linked to it or was that an edit?

I love it when they claim something is piracy-proof.
I give it a week.
Clitch? Is that like a sexual cliche?
My suggestions include going outside with a parachute that's already open strapped to your back.

First time I've ever seen my hometown mentioned on

Since we haven't encountered any alien species to murder yet, I'm not surprised.
Don't worry.. we'll find one sooner or later.
You'd better take my huge dick in your mother's mouth seriously. I'm stabbing her skull full of holes.
Watch your step since those two sound like a dangerous combination.
Hmm that's my current start up sound. I took the sound from WC2.
Vic-4? What the hell's that. I had the Vic-20 which I could use to amaze myself by drawing simple block colors on the screen or playing hangman.
Or Crimes Against Humanity.
... to be believing anything you hear. Shut down your minds and tommorow erase all record of today.
Ya, you might think they desperately attempting to fight off an unprovoked attack or something.
I've been reading alot about this too and whenever I think about it, I'm reminded of a quote from Waking Life.
Whatever you do, don't be bored. This is absolutely the most exciting time you could have possibily hoped to be alive. And things are just starting."
For good or ill, I'm excited to see what is going to happen, assuming Bush doesn't get everyone killed in the meantime.
Hardly a forgotten film though.
