Before buying into the Eurofighter Typhoon, the British should consider a few things about it:
1. In order not to offend anyone, it contains parts from many different groups, including the Middle East and North Korea. All under GPL. (And you know the requirements of the GPL license.)
2. The French parts tend to eject at the first sign of trouble.
3. Everyone will have free access to it, on demand, but it will take 8 to 12 weeks to get to fly it.
And finally,
4. Of course, no weapons allowed. Or smoking. Or cheeseburgers.
Wow. Been perusing the Chinese Wikipedia. I honestly didn't know that a glorious member of the Committee invented the telephone, the television, algebra, _and_ the paper clip!
>an event that has not occurred in decades. >While not necessarily a consequence of global warming
It _cannot_ be a consequence of global warming. If this happened decades ago, but global warming is making this event more and more common (since it will doom us in _decades_, not _eons_), then you get a contradiction. It's like saying the line y=x passes through (1,1) twice.
One birth every: 7 seconds One death every: 13 seconds One international migrant (net) every: 31 seconds
So every minute, there are almost +4 net Americans (born here) and almost +2 net "international migrant[s]" (whatever the heck that means). (And the +4 doesn't even include naturalized citizens.)
How in the world do media outlets figure that the 300 millionth American will most likely be an illegal immigrant?
Let me get this straight... the USSR makes faulty equipment, then prevents that faulty equipment from making them destroy us. And we're supposed to celebrate this act as heroic??
I thought Slashdot was supposed to be ruthless against companies that make faulty equipment. If Michael Dell ran into your office and unplugged your laptop just before the battery exploded, you think you'd give him a break?

Question: do these pits have vines hanging above them, perhaps, along with scorpion traps and rolling logs for added security?

Will the "more Web-friendly Congress" also pass bills to reform electronic voting machines? Like the ones that got them elected this year?
Oh, wait...
And don't forget Escape From The Son Of Google, Conquest Of The Son Of Google, and Battle For The Son Of Google.
Apparently, they can do tech support for my laptop, but they can't remember a 4-digit PIN.
So, where are all of the cries of voting machine election fraud that caused the Democrats to win Congress?
Anyone?
Anyone?

Can we call bullshit now?
The Ring
But... did anyone get The Sword Of A Thousand Truths as compensation?
In Soviet Russia, choices pick you!
The article is exaggerating _a little_. You can still boot off of CD and get access to your files.

>This has been sorely missing in Bush's Vision for Space Exploration.
Bush wants to make Star Trek a reality, but geeks still find a way to bash him. Sheesh!

Because we all know how true-to-life TV, newspaper, magazines, and school text books have been.
OK, but does he play poker?
Is this Gore's insurance policy in case global warming happens? Remember, we have only ten years left.
All your base belongs to us.
According to the population clock:
One birth every: 7 seconds
One death every: 13 seconds
One international migrant (net) every: 31 seconds
So every minute, there are almost +4 net Americans (born here) and almost +2 net "international migrant[s]" (whatever the heck that means). (And the +4 doesn't even include naturalized citizens.)

Does the Fire Department have Google Adsense?
Wow. I was going to joke about someone blaming Bush for this, but you have exceeded my expectations!
Huh?

Maybe he needs some self-healing pixie dust from IBM.
