And the pork will continue to roll in until we have up or down votes on all budget items. As long as individual congressmen can stick it in those huge omnibus spending bills that no one knows what is in them until months later, this practice will go on.
This is a very difficult area with no clear answers. We do know that many violent sex fiends started with looking at violent pornography. We also know that millions of people the world over, have enjoyed viewing it and did not go on to be a pervert. I heard one shrink that made the argument that if you have someone that is predisposed to being a sick fiend then viewing this material can push him over that line. Should we limit everyone's ability to view it to avoid the few people who are on the border from going across the line and becoming a violent felon is the question. Obviously someone who has had a family member effected, they will feel one way. Civil Libertarians will obviously take the opposite position.
One other problem is in defining it. Many women's groups in the US argue that any pornography is violent and demeaning to women by its very nature.
It will attract a large public audience as long as it is a viewpoint that the mainstream media supports. Otherwise it will just be another video amongst thousands of others.
We don't have to wait. Kevin Anderson and Herbert's son have already done a trilogy. While it may have been okay, it was nowhere close to the original Dune Series.
Are you sure it isn't good enough to not be a B game... maybe its an A- game and therefore not as good as a B game...blech. Why can't we just agree that some games suck.
Finally Star Trek is gaining the academic recognition it so richly deserves. Having Trekology as an official subject for a BS degree should be coming up soon at all major mail order universities. Live long and prospers.
Any time you disagree with the latest reduction of your civil liberties by government, it must be because you are hiding something. If you disagreed with the tactics of Joe McCarthy, it must have been because you were a pinko. If you don't want your phone calls listened to, you must be a terrorist. If you disagree with this law, its because you are a kiddie porn collector.
They have a special option if you don't want to use your fingerprints. You can have an 18 digit code (3 groups of 6) imprinted on your forehead or on the back of your right hand.
I think the reason we are less likely to acheive more net worth is because we all spend like drunken sailors. We spend every dime we get and when that isn't enough, we run up credit card debt at 20-30% interest (the mafia gives better rates). As an aside, we then wonder why our government carries on the same way. We get what we deserve.
Gee, so we are complicated;-) There are still people that think the English are evil because of their conquest of the globe.
Anyway, back to the article. I would encourage everyone to check out this month's issue of Scientific American. It has some outstanding photos from Hubble.
Or how about those idiots that just can't seem to drive, you know who they are. Yesterday I saw some guy in his 70's that was parked at the post office. When it was time to leave, he simply rean over the curb, the sidwalk and kept going until he go to the exit. Then there was the little small blonde lady driving the giant Excursion (huge SUV) that uses both lanes of traffic and figures she can because she is that big (for once in her life). Then there was the 17 yr old "dude" that has his seat leaned back into the back seat that can't see wtf is around him.... shall I go on....
Although I agree with your sentiment in wishing Apple did not use a proprietary format for iTunes that is only usable on their Ipod, I must disagree that the French government is supporting the free market. Free enterprise would allow Apple to do anything it wants with its products. It is up to the market to decide whether or not to reward Apple by making it successful. So far it appears that the Market is not bothered at all by their use of a proprietary format. For a government to get involved in telling a private company what it can sell and what it can not is socialism not free market capitalism.
I've always done mine by hand as well (close to 30 years of filing now) and have never been able to understand why most people pay someone else to prepare their return. They aren't that complicated and don't really take that much time. I think if most people actually looked at what was required they would kick themselves for not doing it.
"Ms Warwar believes that the rise in internal security attacks has come about because outside criminal gangs realise that recruiting or tricking employees to hand over insider knowledge is less expensive and traceable than other forms of cybercrime."
Gee someone ought to come up with a name for this... let's see, we can call it "Social Engineering". Hopefully no bad guys will read about this and start using it now....
But that is also the way that a lot of great products have been developed. One guy dreams up something he thinks would be really neat, brings it to market and it makes millions. Of course there have also been many products that have failed totally and completely with most of us wondering who the hell thought that up.
You certainly would think that the government would be running an algorithm on the satellite photos that would detect any serious change in what it was seeing. If not to see if California had fallen into the Ocean yet, then to see troops massing along a border somewhere...

Another question, how much were they making before, especially this aspect of their business.

Your inclusion of B makes you subject to serious fines and possible imprisonment. Please remit $2000 to my address to avoid impending litigation.
Funny. I don't remember any of the things you mention in Wizard of Wor. I will have to get out my Atari 800XL and play it again.

Now comes the familiar mantra that is trotted out every time this subject comes up.

What boxen do you have to hack into to, to get the certificate.... oh, never mind, downloading a copy now, just have to change the name ;-)

Heh, since Patrick V. got it out on Slackware yesterday, I guess you must be talking about it.... finally Slackware considered bleeding edge....

Just be glad its the WalMart or Sam's. It could be worse. Take her to some of the upscale places and turn her loose. See how fast the plastic melts.

I heard Donald Trump is trying to volunteer the current wife now that she has given birth. Time to move on ....
