And that wouldn't be needed, as over here if a pedestrian has a green man, then any relevant traffic will have a red light. It must be a crazy American thing to give 2 conflicting streams a green light at the same time.

No, he can't watch Dr Who on the iPlayer because his IP is showing up as Irish, and Ireland (aka Eire, aka Republic of Ireland) is not in the UK (not since 1922). iPlayer is for UK residents only.
I've seen this in numerous places over the last few years. Virgin Birth means there was no sexual intercourse involved in the conception.
Immaculate Conception refers to a particular doctrine of the Catholic Church, which meant that Mary, Jesus' mother, was shielded from original sin when she was conceived, and she was conceived the old fashioned way, with no announcements by any angels.
the top 10% is current paying at least 1/3 of all taxes.
Well, of course they are. They're richer, therefore it is inevitable that they will pay more tax. Even if everybody paid tax at the same rate, the top 50% would pay more than the bottom 50%.
It isn't technology that has ruined Democracy: it's Lobbyists, and special interest groups, all looking after their own little patch, instead of looking at the big picture. The perfect case in point is the MPAA's support for the DMCA - extremely damaging to the person on the street, but ideal for the movie studios who pay for the lobbying.
Democracy used to be of the people, by the people, for the people. Nows its of the lobbyist, by the lobbyist, for the lobbyist.
"The Stars My Destination" (also called Tiger, Tiger), and "The Demolished Man, by Alfred Bester. Faranheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, "Lord of Light" by Roger Zelazny. All Classics, all suitable for 13 years olds.
Actually, they were developed in parallel. The reason why they go to Saturn in the book and Jupiter in the film, is that the SFX boys couldn't do rings that satisfied Kubrick. This would imply that most of the book was developed first. Anyways, both the book and film are based on Short Stories that Clarke had written previously.
In the Image Synthesis Group, we name all out machines after painters. So my box is Giotto, and there's also vangogh, rembrandt, miro, moreau, bacon, chagall, davinci, donatello, munch, magritte, monet, raphael, rodin and yeats.
It was originally mentioned in 2010 as described above (Dave finds huge diamond the size of Earth at Jupiter's core). It is then mentioned again in 2061, when it is discovered that the big mysterious mountain on Europa is made of solid diamond. It is hypothesized by one of the characters that it came from the diamond core discovered in 2010, and was ejected into Jovian orbit when Jupiter turns into Lucifer.
Also, whether I agree with it or not. It is a Constitutional Right to bear arms in the U.S.
Are Americans unable to grasp the concept of constitutional reform? If you don't agree with something in the constitution, campaign to get it changed. Of course with the NRA, it would be nearly impossible to remove the 2nd amendment.
If you want to get risk figures etc. on the whole thing, check out the Cassini homepage . Bsically, the Plutonium is Plutonium Dioxide, and it's in ceramic form, divided up into about 70 seperate capsules, which are then encased in iridium and graphite. This basically means it won't dissolve in water, it won't burn up on re-entry, and if it does crash, the individual capsules will remain intact.
As for rocket malfunction on launch, then the spacecraft would fall back on top of the Space center, or just drop into the sea just off the coast, where it would be easily retreivable.
Only had about 90% here in Dublin, but at least we had very little cloud. No open spaces near the office, so I turned one of the windows into a pinhole, and used a CD in fornt of the other window to project the sun onto the ceiling...pretty impressive...didn't notice any drop in light tho' cos I had most of the windows covered...buggrit!
The hype is really, really annoying me at the moment. Lucas decided to do a simultaneous worldwide merchandising launch, so over here in Ireland, the novel, screenplay and art/vehicles books are already out, but the film doesn't open until July 16th. Arrrrrggghhh!!!!!
The algorithm in question won first prize at the Irish Young Scientist's Exhibition, which is an annual contest in which secondary school students (12-18 years old) exhibit science projects. Last year, the same student came second with another crypto project, and represented Ireland at the Intel Science Competition in the US. The part about the judges not being able to understand the project is true. The judges had to get in a crypto expert to validate the project.
I don't know any details about the algorithm itself, cos I never got a chance to attend. Bugger....
Slashdot Mirror
He was asking, from the bench, for the plaintiff's response to an amicus brief. The doesn't mean that he supported what the brief said.

Oh FFS! Virgin Birth != Immaculate Conception.
