You must not go grocery shopping very often. Most people walk out with a lot more than one person can carry, bagged or not. The cart isn't going anywhere.
An interesting idea, except that you don't *have* to use the registry. Writing and reading text files still works, and plenty of apps still use plain text config files.
Unlike most American cartoons and TV shows, most anime has a story which runs though the entire series. There are a couple exceptions, but most anime I've seen have been a single story spread across the entire series. I don't think its just the cultural references that are keeping people from "getting" it, its also that you have to watch the entire series as a whole to "get" it. If you watched a couple episodes in the middle of an American TV show with a continuous storyline, you probably wouldn't understand it, either.
Its a really poor format for TV viewing unless you have a DVR or a pile of VHS tapes. Miss one episode and you might have missed that critical bit of information that ties the whole show together. But it also allows for a show to have a lot more meaning.
If you take a picture of the moon on the horizon, and then a picture of the moon directly overhead, with the same camera and lens, it will be the same size in both photographs.
Yeah thats probably your problem. Figure out what stuff from cosmos you want to use - most people just want the extra bars - and download them seperately. Almost everything in cosmos can be downloaded as a standalone version. Cosmos is bloated and error prone.. getting rid of it fixed all my client crashing problems.
The problem is not total capacity. The problem is overcrowding on a few servers.. as of last night there were ~20 low pop servers, ~40 medium pop servers, and ~25 high pop servers, according to the in game realm browser. A few of those high pop servers are the ones have serious issues. If players were spread evenly, I don't think we'd be seeing any troubles at all, but blizz chose to let people choose their server. This means all the big guilds from previous games are trying to crowd onto the same few servers so they can all be with their buddies and enemies. Don't get me wrong - I'm glad I can choose to play with my friends... if I couldn't I probably wouldn't have bought the game. However, they should have done SOMETHING to prevent the overcrowding we're seeing.
I've been rolled back exactly once, and lost about 5 minutes of progress. Then again, the server I'm on has been great after some initial bumps right after release.
No, the open beta was only a couple weeks before release. You may be thinking of the first stress test, which was only for a week or two earlier this year.

3. We must expand from Earth to escape the threat of civilization-ending natural disasters, like a supervolcano, which could lower global temperatures below freezing for years. The chance of dying in a civilization-ending event is 1/455. Not to be grim, but that's 10 times more likely than dying in an commercial aircraft.
I'm not sure where you got this, but it sounds off.
Thats debatable. The language used in the constitution (and more importantly, the bill of rights) imply that most rights apply to non-citizens.
Most importantly regarding the current treatment of non-citizen "terrorists":
Amendment V : No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Amendment VI : In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.
Amendment XIV Section 1 : All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
You'll note that at other points in the Constitution and its amendments, when it means citizen, it SAYS citizen.
Again, I propose that you have not sufficiently proven that non-creationist scientists are unaware of the assumptions they make. I think most scientists are well aware that they dismiss supernatural phenomenon as explanations for natural phenomenon, and they believe that is a valid assumption. Indeed, they often cite this assumption in the form of Occam's razor. Your entire argument rests on this point - so you will have to excuse me if I need a little more than just your word that it is as you say.
You seem to be proposing that scientists simply do what they themselves say they should do - come up with explanations based on what evidence we have - and that I have no problem with. Certainly scientists are not perfect, and any improvement is welcome.
However, I certainly can't see that Creationism (or anything with ties to religion) can do that, for a fairly simple reason. If a theory or belief requires faith it by definition cannot be proven in a manner that can satisfy scientists. Furthermore, I've seen little evidence that creationists, as a whole, are actually interested in what you are proposing.
Both in your original post as well as this one, you admit another assumption is made, in some or most cases:
Many people replace that one assumption with another
Some of them make an assumption of little-d deism
Your only defense is that somehow a creationist's assumption of a creator is validated because they are concious of said assumption. This is flawed in two ways - you have not proven that non-creationist scientists are unaware of the assumptions they make, and even if they were NOT aware of that assumption, it does not prove a creationist's assumption is in any way more valid.
If making an assumption is valid because you acknowledge that you are making it, anyone can make any absurd claim and "prove" it. I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to come up with such a situation.
maybe im nuts, but it seems like the only way things are ever going to work for the electronic voting machines is if the machine prints out the receipt of your vote which you verify and then stick in a good old fashioned iron box for a possible recount.
Yup, just about everyone with even an ounce of sensibility wants a paper trail for electronic voting - both the Democrat and Republican candidates for WA Secretary of State placed that among their top priorities. Makes it hard to choose when both of them say they're going to do the same thing.:)
I've got a Centris sitting around somewhere (610 I think) with a blank faceplate over the 5-1/4" bay, so they were definately available without. I'm fairly certain the CD-ROM was standard with the first gen PPCs though.
It's NOT an early 90's machine. The CPU might be, but it should have around 4-8 MB RAM and a couple of hundred, maybe 100-200 MB of disk space if it was supposed to be an early 90's PC.
Yes it is.. the Centris machines were all released in 1993. They shipped with around 4mb of RAM and 120 or 240mb HDs (and a CD-ROM, if you were feeling rich), if I recall. Obviously its been upgraded, but that doesn't mean its not an early 90s machine.

So you get a slightly faster processor, that also works as a space heater. Woo. My trousers are totally moist. Not.
When was the last time you used an ~60W space heater? Oh right, never.
