It is not conjecture or opinion that Bush and people working for him lied about WMDs in Iraq and Iraq aiding al Qaeda.
Actually, it is, because as far as you know, Bush's people lied to him about there being WMDs in Iraq, and he took us in their in good faith. I don't know if that happened, but I've seen no evidence it didn't.
I might add that before we went in, I thought we'd find WMDs and was quite surprised that we didn't. Not because Bush said they were there, but because Sadam was running such a good bluff that he had me fooled. Maybe he fooled Bush so well he ended up bringing on the very war he was trying to prevent. Do you know that isn't what happened?
Besides, you usually have lots of extra time in a waiting room, assuming you didn't arrive via Emergency Entrance.
And if you did arrive via the Emergency Entrance and are in good enough condition to read the consent form you'll still have ample time to read it. In the ER, the people who are in too bad shape to read consent forms always get served first.
Okay, let me be the devil's advocate here. I think this is ridiculous. I'm not a pedophile by any means...
No, just a typical Slashdotter, more interested in shooting from the lip than in bothering to RTFA. As several other posters have already pointed out, this law requires ISPs that learn about kiddy porn on their systems, or viewed through their systems, to report the incident to the police in a reasonably timely manner, and nothing else. It doesn't make them responsible for content, it doesn't force them to censor anything, it doesn't force them to do anything at all except report kiddy porn to the police. Now please, get off your soapbox, back on your meds and next time, RTFA before showing everybody what a fool you are.
Mars is, on the average, about 1.61 times as far from the Sun as the Earth is. As the insolation varies as the square of the distance, that means that a solar panal on Mars receives about 33.44% as much energy as one on the Earth does. If that's the only power source a colony had, it'd need to cover an awful lot of ground with them. Not that it can't be done, but that it might not be cost effective. I hope we'll either have fusion by then, or a better fission plant.
Besides what is a French person doing complaining about things like this? The French are the biggest language snobs on the planet.
I ran across a great example of this the other day in a history book. When General de Gaulle first met his liason officer to the Americans, he told him, "I hope you speak French. I speak English, but I don't intend to."
The French won all the civil wars and revolutions they've had. Think about it: since both sides were french, it didn't matter which side won, the French won the war.
Also, to be fair, WWI wouldn't have lasted long enough for the Americans to come over if it weren't for the tough defense the French Army put up. It just didn't have enough manpower to push the Germans back out without help.
Any Martian colony would have to have some sort of electrical power, and could use that to split the water. NASA doesn't use hydrogen/oxygen as a fuel because they need as much thrust as they can get, and other fuels are available fairly easily. On Mars, you'd need less thrust to reach space, and might have trouble producing more efficient fuels. The advantage to splitting water then reburning it is that you leave the primary power supply (Your fusion/fission power-plant) behind, saving weight.
If MAME and it's logo has not been registered as a trademark, then Foley can apply to register it, regardless of how long it has been used by someone else. If he can slip this one past the TM Office, possibly by overwhelming the existing MAME folks with advertising and publicity, he will have the registered trademark for MAME.
Absolutely correct. I worked once for a startup company selling a special software package to attorneys. After doing a proper search, we trademarked our name. Six months later, a little firm that'd been using the same name for years sent us a nasty-gram and told us to stop using it. Our CEO, an attorney himself, sent them back a letter pointing out that they'd never trademarked their name and waited much too long after we'd done so to complain. He did, however offer to let them continue using the name as long as they didn't try to make their product look like ours. (Not a problem, it did something quite different.) They never answered. Once somebody has a trademark, there's not much you can do about it unless you move real fast, and even then, you have to have a good reason why you didn't protect your name sooner.
You know what you'd really get if you crossed the streams? Nothing, because it can't be done. They're both of the same charge, and like charges repell. Good movie, lousy physics.
Modding a post troll because if the.sig is just as abusive as modding it troll because you don't like the poster's politics. It will probably get meta-modded Unfair, and if the modder keeps it up, his/her mod privs will go bye-bye.
How the heck is parent a troll? Gee, get your mods right...
There's a lot of moderators out there that don't understand just what a Troll is. They think that if they don't agree with somebody's opinions, that makes the poster a Troll, no matter how polite and well-reasoned teh post is. Either that, or they think it's a good way to punish somebody they don't like. All I know is, at least half the Troll mods I get to meta-mod are unfair, and that's how I mark them.
Starbucks employs some of the most highly trained buyers and roasters in the coffee industry and consistantly brings a greater variety of quality beans to the public than was previously available without living in a major metropolitan and having a good sense of where to look
That they do, but they over-roast the coffee to the point that it's burnt and bitter. I've never had a Starbucks that was drinkable without adding at least one more sugar for the size than I normally use, and I like strong coffee. I've also spoken to a number of other people who know coffee, and they all agree: Starbucks coffee is consistantly over-roasted, burnt and bitter. Not only that, the equipment in the shops is almost always dirty on the outside, and if that's true, imagine what the inside is like!
Who cares what crappy flavor Starbucks offers? No matter what they call it, it's still going to be burnt, bitter and over-roasted crap. More proof, it it were needed, that you can fool the average person into buying crap if you tell them often enough how great it is.
I do pretty much the same thing, but I use Amaya. That gives me a WSYWYG window and, if needed, I can open another window and "view structure." I can edit in either, and see the changes in both. If I really need to enter codes by hand, I can open the source in a text editor, make the changes, save, then reload the page in Amaya. Nice, simple, easy to uses. And the best thing is, it's free from the W3C consortium.
I'd reccomend a different way, but that's because it's the way I used. If you have enough disk space to spare, use a good partitioning program to shrink your Windows partition to about half the disk or so, and install Linux on the other half. That gives you a dual boot system. Use Windows when you want what you're familiar with and Linux when you want to experiment. If and when you decide that you want to go Linux only, you just stop selecting Windows at the boot screen. That leaves all your old programs and data on the disk Just In Case you need them again.
Guess I could email them the.reg but that would go against what I've been saying all this time about opening attachments.
I considered that possibility, but decided that if you're trying to keep people from opening attachments it's not a smooth move to send them out yourself. Even so, there should be somebody in each office that can handle importing the.reg file.

The XXX clause shows, of course, that the software is for use by adults only?

Outsourced to India, with everything else.

Simple: you use electrolysis to break up the water into hydrogen and oxygen, then burn it in the rocket.
Five points from Slytherin, for making a pointless joke about Muggles.
I think it would be a bit safer to have the experiments performed by Dr. Clark Savage Jr.

It was modded Redundant, because it didn't need to be said in the first place. As the meta-moderator, I call it Fair.

Didn't have a problem with it and I use Firefox. I just hit the Stop button, then went back twice.

Well, they have to once in a while. Murphy's Law is recursive, and once in a while it makes itself fail.
Personally, I'd be more than happy if we discovered the ruins of the Twin Towers of Helium.
