They don't have to be lying to be dead wrong. Ask someone what happens when you die. You will get answering ranging from pearly gates to 72 virgins to nothing. People have seen things in the skies for thousands of years. The only thing that changes is the explanations. We have gone from lights in the skies being gods(polytheistic societies) to angels(monotheistic) to aliens(atheistic).
Widespread birth today will cause widespread death in years to come. Although the time frame is unknown, scientists believe that a large population today will lead to a large number of deaths in the future.
"It just the nature of things" quoted one Harvard PhD who wish to remain nameless.
The fear of massive number of deaths has the Pentagon on high alert. CDC is issuing warnings and are placing people in danger of dying in quarantine.
According to CDC officials, the death rate of this epidemic will far exceed the number of natural deaths that have occurred in the past.
The Homeland Security Office has raised the National Alert level to Red #5 since the release of this report.
Microsoft has two visions for the future of digital media: unlimited choice for consumers, and unlimited control for producers. One thing's for sure, it's unlimited opportunity for Redmond.
Gates probably has the same idea of "unlimited choice" as Henry Ford: "any color so long as it is black".
For one thing it was rumored to have been said by George H Bush(41st), not George W(43rd).
The closest thing to an explanation is here: TheAtheismWeb.
Supposedly this reporter with the American Atheist Press had a 1-on-1 interview with Bush(41) when he made that statement. No major US paper thought it was credible enough to run, so I am inclined to believe that it is untrue.
It seems that they can not even perform basic background checks on their own employees: CIO of Department of Homeland Security Suspended. Seems she got her "doctorate in computer information systems" from a phony college.
Yeah, that is the type of thing that inspires confidence.
what's wrong with passengers hunting for the best deal?
Story: to catch deal-hunting passengers making duplicate bookings.
This means that people were using different travel agencies to reserve lots of seats on the same flight, and then simply going with the agency who quoted the lowest price. This means that the seats end up being empty, and the rest of us end up paying for them. Sorry, but even the "rich elite" can no longer make duplicate reservations. Almost all airlines now use software to automatically cancel duplicate bookings.
Here is a good summary of France's nuclear program written by the Uranium Information Centre
France derives 75% of its electricity from nuclear energy. This is due to a long-standing policy based on energy security.
France is the world's largest net exporter of electricity, and gains some EUR 2.6 billion per year from this.
Wastes: The national policy is to reprocess spent fuel so as to recover uranium and plutonium for re-use and to reduce the volume of high-level wastes for disposal. Waste disposal is being pursued under France's 1991 Waste Management Act which sets the direction of research which is mainly undertaken at the Bure underground rock laboratory in eastern France, situated in clays. Another laboratory is researching granites.

It doesn't take a sensor to determine which people have a big ass.
I also dont believe millions of people would lie.

Why on earth would someone need a 1000+ node cluster?
Maybe for a Large Hadron Collider-class computation.
Does SCO have Robert Stein as a legal consultant?

...I still like this one better: Rez_PS2
attn: link is NOT work safe
Ummm... This One?
"The share of all individual income taxes paid by the highest-income 1 percent of households was 36 percent in 1998."
"the top 5 percent of households pay 56 percent"
"In 2001, 36 percent of U.S. households, most earning less than $40,000, had income tax liabilities of zero"
Yes that's right, 36% of households pay NO income tax!!!
Would you like their tax rate to be below 0%? For many of them it is, in the form of the EITC.
The International Herald Tribune has the story on their site with no registration or pop-ups: In Enron case, criminalizing hype.

There are several threads about this from tha past week in the compuserve aquaria forum here: Aquarists & The Law
Looks like this link was already posted. Guess that's what I get for browsing at +3.
I see there are already a couple of mirrors, but in case they don't hold up here is a BitTorrent: Gollum%27s%20MTV%20Acceptance%20Speech.torrent
..in how they use GPS to make such precise measurements you can read about it here:

"Hey! Let's take a technology that's potentially revolutionary, and give it to Microsoft!"
I have a feeling that when they give it to them, they will receive a check with around eight to ten 0's in it.
I finally figured out who this chick is from this story. It's "Aimee-Deep-Boobies-for-the-boys.png
I talked to her agent. If you want her to model with guns for you it is $500/hr.
"Will it survive the year?"
Considering that it came out before Christmas of 2000 (hint: ~2.4 years ago), I'd say there is a pretty good chance.
Check out the power point presentation:
Pigeons
Pigeons will be available on a first come first served basis in the Hangers.
Plastic sheeting will be available to vendors in the hanger areas.
Shooting of pigeons, even with non-lethal weapons, is not allowed.
and of course...
Marines at the FPED are not an on-site Labor Force. Attempting to use them as such is at your own risk
