But if we did as you say, power hungry bastards wouldn't be able to manipulate us into maintaining their power over us! Genocidal bastards like Dubya would suddenly be rendered powerless!... and we don't want that now do we?
yes, because buddhists have no books at all that could be thought of as their bible. only the christian bible is the real bible. That goes for the Koran and the Torah as well, they aren't really bibles either.
Of course you probably didnt know that 'bible' is simply ancient greek for 'book'. In fact i just read a great bible by Stephen King the other day.
"This textbook contains material on CREATIONISM. CREATIONISM is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully and critically considered."... I'd love to see that on every bible, not just the american bible, but the bible of every religion.
But most ignorant followers of most religions don't think critically, simply following the herd of sheep they've decided to group with, letting the brainwashers keep the power.
Of course since the Patriot Act breaks the 4th and 6th amendments... and you dumbass americans have not overthrown your government in response to stealing those rights from you... as it is your responsibility to do so... the fact that the damn sticker may have violated the first amendment really doesnt matter.
Your constituition has already been rendered meaningless.
Because the absolute nothingness of death, with its ceasing of that great chemical coincidence we call consciousness, will preclude you from having any being whatsoever, let alone any type of knowing.
You will have as much ability to 'know' anything as the inanimate chair you are sitting on.
Its a shame you can't just face the truth and realize that all religions are based on the thoughts of insecure dumbasses and power hungry bastards who were scared of what they couldn't see past the light of their campfires in the bush... and that all 'paranormal' events are nothing more than simple coincedence or you misunderstanding the mixed up signals your imperfect brain has to deal with.
But, dont let me stop you, you keep on believing, and supporting religion so that we can keep murdering people around the world who believe in other imaginary gods or believe in the same imaginary god as you... but with a word or two interpreted differently in the book of lies; so we can continue to destroy unique cultures in the guise of 'saving' them; and best of all, so we can keep letting perverted priests around the world molest boys in the name of god.
For the same reason dumbasses like Dubya get elected president.... they stick together, support and spread their own flavour of stupidity, then they get to force it on everyone else despite any supposed freedoms guaranteed by law.
The Skytrain here in Vancouver... an elevated mass transit train thingy... failed due to y2k issues. They did fix the software in time, but apparently they didnt fix it well enough. Jan1 2000, the trains wouldnt go. problems kept happening for a week or two until the last bugs were worked out.
basic infrastructure!.. yes, a 100 missiles that dont work is always better than 1 or 2 that dont work.
Looks like an american has ignored basic ingenuity.
First of all, your typical ICBM has an impact velocity of only around mach 10 or 3.4KPS... lots of room for improvement there without getting tricky.
And, didn't it occur to you that one way or another the missle or even the individual warheads could be boosted on their descent phase? Do you somehow think that the force of G is the only force that can be applied?... if i can think of that simple solution off the top of my head then I'm sure the real edumacated types have a lot more ideas.
Why do you think the USA is working on scramjet propulsion for their next generation of cruise missles?... faster impact velocities attained with a smaller weapon that don't have to carry a big tank of oxidizer, that can fly under any ABM system anyone else may be building since they tore up the anti ABM treaty.
I don't blame Iran one bit for trying to get nukes. Once they have them, the US will either ignore them like north korea, or will suddenly be best friends like pakistan, regardless of the politics within Iran.
Damn fools. If you'd stop making so many enemies needlessly and spent some of the trillion or two that the ABM system will cost on helping the world, and if you just plain and simple treated other countries the way you expect to be treated instead of screwing the world over constantly... maybe you wouldn't have so many people out there that want to see you all dead.
Hmmm, maybe we should turn this discussion into a list of all the enemies the USA has created for themselves through their own stupidity, through funding and arming dictators and terrorists that came back to haunt you.
just for starters...
saddam bin laden noriega batista sauzo marcos suharto s elassie seko Hitler... bet you didnt know that with support from the us government, Ford built germany's tanks even as they were being used to kill US troops.
One of my favorites is how Dubya's grandfather got rich in the 1930's on contract work... building concentration camps in germany for hitler. No wonder you bastards stayed out of the war for so long despite an obvious in your face enemy.
Don't like that one? then how about Dick Cheney getting his Haliburton to setup offshore shell companies so that he could indirectly sell goods to Iraq, in direct violation of american law? In one sentance cheney is defending his business with saddam, while in the next telling us we need to take saddam out... and you elected him twice.
Shove the ABM system up that two cheeked area that holds your brain. It won't protect you from the enemies you insist on continuously making for yourselves.
Because to overcome the defense, all you need to do is send more warheads and make the warheads travel faster. A CHEAP EASY WAY TO OVERCOME A TRILLION DOLLAR SYSTEM. They can be real warheads, they can be decoys, just put lots in the air at once, the US won't be able to shoot them all down. Make them move faster, and the defense system can't keep up.
This does not require very many missles.
The new Russian system announced recently does all this. Each missle carries more warheads (10 or 12), and the missle travels much faster than previous missles.
Now, how about the other issue.. the fact that the system has never yet worked properly under normal expected conditions?
The ONLY time the system has EVER shot down a missle has been when the target missles have been set to travel and a greatly reduced speed AND have been made to emit a homing signal for the defensive missle to follow in.
Do you really think any 'rogue states' are going to slow their missles down and put nice friendly homing beacons on them? dumbass.
Hmmmm maybe that's why DUBYA is such good friends with the nuclear military dictatorship of Pakistan, as well as the well known terrorist leader of Libya who has murdered hundreds and has billions in the bank to fund any terrorists he wants... wouldn't want any real threats to test the system, better to just invade the imaginary threats that never had any WMD's.
.... they dont want it cluttered up with your mp3 files.
dumbass, you havent seen the latest TV commercials where they specifically state 'you may just want to listen to mp3s on it'
Restricting the user from doing simple basic file transfers easily is not justified by any level of 'efficiency' in the database system... it just exposes their shortcomings.
My company builds pocket pc applications for collecting geotechnical data in the field, which is then automatically synch'ed into an SQL server database for instant use in various geotechnical analysis softwares.... I can't imagine the horrible pain our engineers would be going through if they were held back by the limitations of using Palm.
The MS haters here must simply hate the idea of being productive. MS has done just fine on this product.
What most people don't know is that in Canada, there is already federal laws that are meant to protect people from the bastard telemarketers.
If you inform them not to call you, they are required to not call you for a period of at least 3 years!
BUT
No one enforces the law. No one spreads the word that the law even exists.
So, I usually remind the bastards that I have told them not to call, and that they are breaking the law. If its a bank trying to sell credit card insurance I get particularly nasty and tell them that I'll be cutting up my card and moving any money I have with them to ING Direct.
But mostly, I just don't answer the phone if caller ID doesn't show a name.
This type of deep unusual tremor has been known of for several years.
Roughly every 14 months, such tremors occur deep under Vancouver Island. Over a 2 week period, the tremors shift southward towards washington state.
The tremors are related to the subduction of the pacific ocean under north america.
The san andreas fault is a remnant of the subduction zone, where the pacific spreading ridge has already been consumed. This ridge is still a couple hundred km offshore of vancouver island.
The deep tremors on the san andreas are probably caused by the change in strain on the system after the same tremors have occured up here. Yes, the deep tremor cycle did occur like clockwork, as predicted by the canadian pacific geoscience center a few months ago under vancouver island. Several 14 month cycles have been observed.
The weird thing about the tremors is that it represents a rebound in the subduction of the ocean plate. instead of subducting a few cm per year, in two weeks the subduction reverses by about 5cm, and then goes back to the normal.
It is thought that the changes in strain caused by all this may increase the short term chances of the next big quake hitting southwest BC by a large factor.
Anywho, go away, there's nothing truly new to see here, it may not have been observed so far south before, but it is not a discovery of a new type of geologic activity, the Canadians already documented it, which maybe the media would have realized had they bothered to look outside your borders for something other than the injustices of Iraq.
Stop creating the enemies that come back and bite you, then you won't have to go back and wipe them out, along with thousands of innocent civilians and american troops.
Sony has had retail stores for many many years in Canada. The Sony Store... real catchy name huh.
Their service is brutal. They don't know their products. I had one trying to sell me a very outdated LCD monitor for a very old inflated price, treating me like a fool.
They are no different than any other electronics store, just used car salesmen working indoors.
Nothing more than pure hype put out by one company.
ohhh this month we shall investigate this great thing! next month we will investigate that great thing! as if in 3 months time they will know all that is needed to know to fully replace the way things are done today.
Timothy, how about giving us an article that actually tells us something about a technology instead of simply hyping one companies plans? This looked more like a stock promotion than anything else.
And the outright mistakes!
'chirality' for example is not the term regarding the way the diameter and structure of nanotubes form.
Chirality refers to handedness... left or right handedness. Perhaps the tubes form different in a left handed way than in a righ handed way but you'd never know that that was the point they were making, it was just a buzz word thrown out to make you go ohhhh ahhhh oohhhhh!

PS, in the perfect state of enlightenment, there is no being pissed off, there is simply being.

Don't read this textbook, instead keep on blindly swallowing the lies spread by your religious overlords so they can remain in control of you!

It must be because the damn lazy editors of slashdot have posted at least 3 stories from wired in the few couple days.

The system is a total waste.

It is obsolete before it is even functional.
