She made a bad decision, but it wasn't 'foolish'. Some of these emails & sites are pretty damned impressive. I've never gotten burned (NO one, but NO ONE gets my info on demand), but I've seen some clever attempts.
Yeah, check nasa TV, they've got the whole reentry. The actual impact is missed, I guess the cameraman was panning and zooming, but 100mph straight down is hard to focus on.
It seems to me that we build structures that are designed to withstand explosion, reentry, etc. (for example, the fission power units on some space probes). If you armored the hell out of the container for the waste, if the rocket explodes, we just go retrieve the container and try again.

If most people were using (and validating) XHTML or even strict HTML, I'd be a happy man. This does not seem to be the case... at my company, only my code works cross browser, cuz no one else gives a damn about non MSIE clients. Sad.
Sure, it may be smoggy, but blaming this on LA is pretty farfetched... the smog will dissipate in the hundreds of miles of desert between the two... hell, it's not smoggy in the desert 50 miles from LA.
That said, the guy above was either joking or trolling... I recently climbed a nearby mountain, and you could see the smog band pretty distinctly...
If we're talking about 1 programming language and 1 interpreter, this is ok (I'm a perl fan myself). But since we're talking about scores of browsers from different makers in different countries, the standards should be adhered to.
Besides, real programming languages have enough built in intelligence (scoping, flow control structures, etc) to make some assumptions. Basic HTML does not.
THAT is the issue web developers have been fighting for a long time. If you want a browser that will render line noise, go for MSIE. Of course, this only encourages bad coding (see the decline of HTML quality since 99 or so....)
Oh, I'd say it's very clear that they meant to rip off BB (what kinda stupid name is "mr. sinus"), but BB also seems to be being reasonable. They have to defend their trademark, but are limiting themselves to the name, not the whole parody schtick.
If they did the latter, BB would be in the wrong. As it is, they sound pretty fair.
The mudslides and wildfires only effect a very small percentage of people (mainly folks who live along hillsides/mountain foothills) and earthquakes are rare enough not to be a big concern.
Are you kidding? Have you ever seen an IT job description? Most of the ones I've seen are long lists of technologies (that are often mutually exclusive), written to be as vague as possible. I've seen junior programmer positions w/requirements that would make a Senior Architect nervous...
True, altho I have heard him say that he toled Mewes that if he got clean, he'd write another movie as a thank you. Mewes has been clean for a coupla years now, so it's time to pay up.

OK, I just wanna officially laugh at/with whoever modded this Informative, before it (rightly) gets squashed as '-1, Stupid Joke'. Thanks!
The Jedi mind trick doesn't work on us...
They're still waiting for someone who wants to use it to be born...
Plus, the glowing fish are easier to catch...
Excellent. I like the what-about-the-good-side-of-mutation attitude :)
Absolutely. But cheaper than cleaning up the fallout.
Nah, China just flies their planes into ours....

While I understand your point... what is wrong with expecting technology to flow from simpler to more complex?

Shouldn't they be out singing or writing songs or somesuch?

taxes suck tho.

Nah, I think that was like in 2002.
As much fun as it is to look down on addicts (in black in white, no less), they are people too, and nothing is certain.
Yeah, the magnet deflects the coin into an appropriate (by denomination) holding bin. I guess there's a small amount if iron in all UYS coins ?
Troll, troll, troll your post...

rambling, rambling, rambling, rambling....
your post is just the same!

Interesting... I would consider the view that everything is explained by a mysterious being to be the more shortsighted one.
I can understand. The spirituality/truth/whatever theme was subtle.
Having read the book, I thought it was great, but maybe I was already looking for the subtler stuff.
