Actually I belive that Elrond had a ring. So did the other leader of the elves. A chick, I can't remember her name... Some believe that even Gandalf had one of the elven rings.
It says clearly in the book that Elrond, Galadriel and Gandalf all had rings. The three rings were the rings given to the Elves.
Elrond wore Vilya (Ring of Air)
Galdriel wore Nenya (Ring of Water)
Gandalf wore Narya (Ring of Fire)
Now could they have given the ring to the guy at the beginning of the book, that wasn't effected by it at all. (Tom Bran** something...), and had him destroy it?
I think you mean Tom Bombadil...
From the book: "Could we not still send messages to him and obtain his help?" asked Erestor. "It seems that he has a power even over the Ring."
"No, I should not put it so" said Gandalf. "Say rather that the Ring has no power over him. He is his own master. But he cannot alter the Ring itself, nor break its power over others..."

And some competitor will come along producing better and cheaper equipment, but because they don't know how to market their products to non-tech folk, haven't got enough production capacity and are using 5-10 year old manufacturing techniques they continue to lose money...
Problem: Microsoft
Solution: Use Macinux or Lintosh (Mac/Linux combo)
The increase in cost would be more than what you pay for a Windows licence, so no one would switch over
Problem: Security "experts"
Solution: Threaten their jobs until they shape up
But when you hire the next guy/girl, he/she is exactly the same. You keep going through this cycle until the company realises that if you offer more money you might just get the cream of the crop, not the scum from the bottom of the pond...
Problem: Ignorant users
Solution: Educate them
Hahahahahaha, you funny man... I suppose you believe 'Childproof' lids are really childproof and Saddam had WMDs capable of reaching the US and was willing to give them to Osama:)
Anyone know why the reactor is all the way at the front and the thrusters are at the back?
Looking at the design it looks like they have designed it that way to require a minimal amount of shielding to stop the science package and radio transmission from being contaminated with radiation from the reactor. If you notice the shape, it follows the radiation 'shadow' made by the shielding.
OTOH, IANARS (I Am Not A Rocket Scientist) so this is all just a guess...
Then spell it with an extra 'e' to avoid confusion. Reminds me of the British sitcom with the woman who pronounced her surname of 'Bucket' as 'Bookay'.
It is spelt the same as the kettle BBQ, so it is pronounced the same way... Web-er
In one breath you mention a wide spectrum of media and then in the next breath you eliminate a whole host of media outlets. Nice way to prove a point.
Even though the media says he may be honest and moral, I think the evidence does not support that. I think the US media outlets are just plain scared of being called unAmerican if they criticise the leader of the free world for being a liar or fuckwit...
It is not politicisation of Google. It occurs because more people have 'miserable failure' and 'Bush' on the same page than 'miserable failure' and 'Clinton' or 'Firestone'...
Learn how Google works before accusing them of bias.
Bush must really think that US citizens are stupid. As the new opposition leader in Australia said "President Bush is the most incompetent and dangerous president yet" or something like that. Not far wrong I think.
Architect: Hello, I've been waiting for you three.
Neo: Who are you?
Justin: Yeah, who are you?
Architect: I am the Architect. But, please, call me Larry.
Sean: Hey, Larry
Justin: Larry.
Architect: I created the Matrix... and several popular video games including Q*Bert and Dig Dug
Justin: Remember that?
Sean: Yeah.
Architect: I didn't create Frogger, however, I came up with the name "Frogger." Can you believe they were going to call it "Highway Crossing Frog"?
Sean: That is so lame
Architect: I know, it's the lamest thing I've ever heard of... "Highway Crossing Frog"...

I might have to do that when the DVD comes out...
I still don't know why i found Ellen DeGeneres talking to whales so funny, but I laughed so hard at that. Great movie.
Try watching the original Japanese 'The Ring' movies...
I would have to say I enjoyed 'Finding Nemo' far more than any other movie all year.
Although 'Bad Boys 2' kept me entertained, not a great movie though.
I don't think it was meant to be funny...
Some answers...

So you are saying it is the Iraqi people doing the attacking?
Sorry. Isn't the US the attacker/invader in this instance?

Kiddie porn is a big media item and the Police PR departments love the mileage they can get out of it. Don't underestimate the power of a PR stunt...

Which launch facility are they going to use? Hopefully it is in mainland USA, cos it is far enough away from Australia not to worry us Aussies :)

What about our good mate Sol?
But in real terms, all stars produce more light than the moon...

The next 12 months before our election should be quite entertaining.
Hang on! it could be a bumpy ride!!!
