  1. Re:Mac OS X on First Ten Programs on New Install? · · Score: 1

    I agree... As a registered user of launchbar, I'm sad to say that it has been replaced in my dock by QuickSilver. QS is twice as fast and has more features than Launchbar. If Launchbar upgrades and adds features then I will gladly return, but until then QuickSilver it is.

    I don't drink. However since you brought up drinking and driving....
    In 2001 there were 17,448 drunk driving related deaths, roughly 48 per day. 505 of these deaths were children.
    In 1999, there were 28,874 gun-related deaths, roughly 80 deaths per day.
    3,365 of these deaths were children.
    (Source: www.cdc.gov) Its funny, there are no stats showing which were "appropriate" or not. It doesn't matter if they're killed by a drunk driver or a gun. They're dead. Whenever anyone dies it's a tragedy.
    Welcome to 2003, we don't need to protect our house from British Invasion or the French. Are "Terrorists" going to enter our houses? No. (No matter what ready.gov wants us to believe...) I do however support the rights of hunters who eat what they take.

    While I an not %100 for or against gun control, I have 2 points to make. you said: OH, BTW if drugs are harmless compared to guns how about this... Alchohol killed 110,000+ people, perscription drugs killed 32,000 people, illitic drugs killed 17000 people in 1998... how does that compare to 32000 in 1997? Looks like you could save 3 times as many lives if you make alchohol illigal. Or maybe you should start a registration of people buying alchohol so that they can be tracked by satalite with a transiver they must wear to buy a drink and if they get in a car, they should be tracked down and arrested on the spot Point 1. Alcohol, Prescription Drugs and Illicit Drugs kill the people using them, they (usually) aren't used to kill others. Guns kill other people. Point 2. Use Spellcheck.

  4. First Movie Trailers??? on Star Wars Episode III: Behind the Scenes Webcam · · Score: 1

    "StarWars.com went online as a Web site in 1996 and showed one of the Web's first movie trailers two years later."
    One of the first trailers in 1998? Huh? I remember watching Disney trailers in my campus computer lab back in 1995. (The lab was the only way back then to get a decent connection for downloading larger files... These kids today have it easy!) Wasn't the media all over Lucas being one step behind for developing content for the web, or am I mistaken?
