    "Go and tell people in Burma..."
    Hmm... Burma... oh, you mean Myanmar, do you? Didn't recognise the old name, haven't heard it for ages... ;-)

    Except your fair-use rights DOES permit you to rip it in order to download it to your iPod.
    AAMOF it allows you to rip it in any way, for any reason and any number of copies, as long as you don't DIRTRIBUTE them...

    "We don't invade every country that looks at us funny. North Korea is a good modern day example."

    Yes, of the opposit!
    The only reason you haven't yet invaded North Korea is because they have nukes. Instead you invaded Iraq, which you knew, beyond all reasonable doubt, had no WMD...

  8. Re:Forget a USB-powered Steering Wheel... on Swedish Carbon-Fiber Stealth Ship Runs NT · · Score: 1

    The reason we have six stealth corvettes and 200 fourth generation fighter/bomber/recon aircraft (the Air Force now estimates it needs/can afford around 60) is that these and all similar projects (like the RBS15 and RBS23 missile systems fittend on the ship) were commisioned before the end of the cold war.
    And also, terminating the projects would make a hell of a lot of people unemployed...

  9. Re:Islam on Vatican Astronomer Comments On Extraterrestrials · · Score: 1

    Or the fact that they all descend from British criminals? ;-)

  10. Re:Or how about on Vatican Astronomer Comments On Extraterrestrials · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Of course, the problem with this is that it applies to the beliefs of every other loony on the street, not just to yours

    Yes, but if that looney does unquestionable good, why patronise him? Does that make you a better person?

    And for the purpouse of interpretation, what does the rest of James 2 say?

    You actually have to read more than a sentance to make sense of it...

    This is just looney dravel! You must be using a very loose definition of many?
    I ask you to Identify one Christian church of signifficant size that holds this as an official belief. I know for sure the Roman Catholic, the Greek and Russian Orthodox, the Anglican and virtually all (to my knowlege, all) Lutheran Protestant churches don't. They cover some 90% of organised Christianity - now don't go compare us to some UFO-sect, please.

    due to the fact that in America April 1st is know as April Fool's Day

    Not only in America. We do it in Europe too (Britain and Scandinavia I'm 100%, Germany I'm fairly certain, the rest - wouldn't surprise me).
    A qualified guess would be that it is a European tradition exported to the USA by waves of emigrants...

    Ah, well, never mind then... ;-)

  18. Re:How far away? on Asteroid to Make Closest Recorded Pass to Earth · · Score: 1, Insightful

    And that's exactly why NASA has lost so many Mars probes: the Imperial System

    1 in = 25.4 mm
    1 ft = 12 in
    1 yd = 3 ft
    1 fm = 2 yd
    1 rod = 5 1/2 yds
    1 chain = 4 rod
    1 fur = 10 chain
    1 mile = 8 fur

    I.E. 100 ft = 30.48 m and 26500 miles is, quite correclty, roughly 42600 (42638.5) km.

    What a patronizing way to refer to people (like me) who are trying to make a living selling their own work.

    No, he is refering to people who are trying to make a living selling other peoples work (and keeping the profits for themselves).

    Rather 9/11 was a convenient excuse for the Bush administration to do a lot of things they wanted to do anyway

    You mean, they though it was a good day to burry bad news? In other countries, heads rolled because of such ideas...

    The analogy of american soldiers == devils is not likely to be one which is desirable to propagate.

    Certainly nothing we need to wast our energy on, since they seem to be making a rather good job of it themselves...

    Either way, claiming that Catholics are pagans is seriously messed up.
