That very same thing was done in Robin Cook's Abduction . It's a good read. It involves a civilisation of first generation humans, those who evolved before a catastrophe wiped out all life on earth. They resorted to living underground, beneath the oceans. Their bodies were genetically engineered to be nearly immortal and every few hundred years, they transferred their minds into a computer to be later re-implanted in a new body. I think this sort of thing is possible, but certainly not with todays technology.
You are wrong but thank you for agreeing with me on some points. If disregarding civilian casualties and in fact starting a useless war is what it means to be patriotic, well forgive me, I would rather raise my AK-47 and shake my fist at the American troops. I love my country and all, but right now I think we'd be doing better with Al Gore in office. And I don't think very highly of him either, but I am sorry I ever wanted Bush in office at all.
as painfully stupid. How bad really is some collateral damage? You wouldn't be saying that if you lived in Iraq and the US Army had slipped up and dropped a bomb near your house. You'd be staring blankly through the hole in the wall as you clutch your dead twelve year old son.
We started this war, not them, jackass. Rarely have I seen anyone with such callous disregard for human life. How bad really is some collateral damage?!?!?! You're disgusting.
Go here to see a good website with a long list of good points for my view. It's too long to put here.
It brings up no such thing. When you're fingerprinted you leave behind an ink trail and, as far as I know, nothing else. Even if say you left behind some biological material along with the ink, I am sure it would biodegrade quickly because things like that arent kept in a refrigerator are they?
I think the RIAA may have finally done something useful for a change. Many of the artists on the list were rappers and I for one am wholly against any band named Def Leppard.
And Tool was nowhere to be found on the list, so I am ok!
it simply calls the waiter to your table.. it doesnt mean you get a refill automatically. This could be a timewaster for waiters though if you finish your drink and do not want more
If you are truly serious about studying the Bible as a living book, and not as a museum piece, then pick up a New King James or NIV version. These are easily readable and accurately reflect centuries of scholarship.
I don't want this to look like flamebait or anything but why would anyone really want to live their lives by a book that was compiled 1675 years ago. In tracing the origin of the Bible, one is led to AD 325, when Constantine the Great called the First Council of Nicaea, composed of 300 religious leaders. Three centuries after Jesus lived, this council was given the task of separating divinely inspired writings from those
of questionable origin. The actual compilation of the Bible was an incredibly complicated project that involved churchmen of many varying beliefs, in an atmosphere of dissension, jealousy, intolerance, persecution and bigotry. At this time, the question of the divinity of Jesus had split the church into two factions. Constantine offered to make the little-known Christian sect the official state religion if the Christians would settle their differences. Apparently, he didn't particularly care what they believed in as long as they agreed upon a belief. By compiling a
book of sacred writings, Constantine thought that the book would give authority to the new church.
And that, my friends, is how we came to be with out dear Bible. But what did the exclude from the Bible that we should maybe know about?
Gospels written by the other disciples, some of them about Jesus' "lost" childhood. Letters written by Jesus himself, and many others.
Do you still want to go live your life by the Bible? All contradictions and scientific flaws aside?
A magentically powered gun?
It gives new meaning to the phrase "silent but deadly".
Really, this tech could mean alot for the army's covert ops stuff, but also for the better equipped criminals.
I'm doing the same thing I try to do every day, Pinky.... Try to take over the world!
Brain could create a subservient army of such supermice and then use it to... well, take over the world.
Interestingly enough, ink bootlegging wouldn't be such a bad idea... put it in a sort of generic cartridge that would work with x-number of different printers, or perhaps put it in cartridges that only fit specific printers like is done now. In fact, I don't think any law could stop a person using different ink in their Epson, lexmark, HP or whatever. And since you, the ink manufacturer, don't have to sell printers really cheap, you could charge as little as $5-$10. Interesting...

And at such a low price!
Don't those countries have the same video games we do?
Ignorance isn't a defense? That's odd. It seems to be a great excuse to rob someone legally...

I would prefer, however, that there be no need for killing the enemy whatsoever.
Guess I'll just have to set the SCO on fire. Big. _grains_ of shit. All over the place. I specifically said, no shit on my OS.

Actually, I think we should elect CowboyNeal as our representative, you insensitive clod.

I'm afraid that most of my passwords are already written down in the Female Anatomy Handbook!

Very good. Now I wonder... I submitted this very story yesterday in much the same format and it was rejected... I guess /. just hates me hehe.
