That someone could even nitpick on such specifics is a testament to how close the movie came. I really enjoyed the book Jurassic Park... try reading it, then watch the movie. You want to talk about straying away from the original message? Mr. Hammond dies in the book, being eaten by his own creations. In the movie, he survives, says "Oh well," and retires to play golf. Oh yeah, and no one bothers to blow up the island.
Influenza (the Flu), Smallpox, the Plague, and many others all originated from animals

A random mutation, just like ones that allowed the ones above to jump from animals much less similar to us (horses, pigs, etc).
Anyway, I'm having a hard time understanding your argument here... if HIV spread from vaccine testing as you mention, then why not go after vaccine testing in primates? (Not that testing vaccines in humans is any safer, and it's definitely not higher moral ground)
NeuStar officials are hoping to change that attitude and said recent terrorism events may give ".us" even more of a boost.
"The fact is right now,... American identification is of increased importance," said Jeff Ganek, NeuStar's chairman and chief executive.
Be patriotic! Get your.us domain now! You're not in with Osama are you? Then you better make sure everyone that looks at your URL can tell you're american!
Microsoft is developing a new online service called Mars. What do you think about this (and AOL's) concept of hiding all of the nasty parts of the Internet from the user? Do you think that it breeds ignorance in users (i.e. not understanding the difference between a URL and an AOL keyword).
What do you think of Palm's new color devices? Do you think that color is the way to go on a portable device, or do you believe that greyscale displays provide all of the funcitonality needed for a PDA.
On a related note, how do you see Palm/Handheld devices evolving in the next few years?
I'm currently an undergraduate CS major at CMU, and the only thing that's keeping me in Pittsburgh is the diploma I'll receive at the end of the rainbow.
Allegheny county is the has the second highest average age (to Dade County, Florida) last I heard. Add to the fact that Pittsburgh still hasn't fully recuperated from the loss of the Steel industry, and you have a dying city. Pittsburgh has around 300,000 people, nowhere near its high of 700,000 in the 1970s.
Pittsburgh doesn't seem oriented towards young people. Most students at CMU strongly dislike the city (I don't know how it is at UPitt), citing that the town is boring, and there is nothing to do.
As far as jobs, there are many better and higher paying opportunities available on either coast, which are also located in Hipper cities like San Francisco or Boston.
I'm not sure that there is a surefire fix for Pittsburgh's blues. My suggestion: they need to try their damndest to keep the young people from moving away. I understand that there are some programs aiming for this, but I really don't know much about it.
I took an English course in college, and we actually did a lot of media analysis.
Companies write article-like pieces and send them to media services, who are starving for stories, and often don't have the capital for more (or better) writers. When a nice press release like this comes, its really easy to put a staffwriters' name on it and just publish it right away, especially if they really don't know much about the topic, or just don't have time to do research.
You see it all the time on the media. Last month, I was watching Headline News, and there was a 4 minute segment all about how RV Sales have increased, and detailing all of the new features. Four minutes on RVs for a 30 minute news broadcast? Seems a little strange.
Mangled HTML? What the hell are you talking about? They currently support it better than Netscape does (talk to web designers, they'll tell you). If you don't believe me, try writing DHTML and using CSS for both browsers.

Well, that's better than Full Speed Wireless, which is 1/40 of High Speed.
Specifically the editors ... did Timothy just see the title and click "Post"?

It's seems like the majority of her argument lies on the lack of storage space on memory cards. Two easy solutions:
1) Get bigger memory cards. You can't take as many pictures on a 12 exposure roll as you can on a 36. Common sense.
2) Get more cards. Your photographer won't get enough shots if he only brought one roll of film, so why are you sending him out with one memory card.
Both these problems exist in traditional photography, just in slightly different forms.
Regardless, memory cards are getting bigger and cheaper. This is only a problem in the short term.
... or you could come to CMU which has had wireless for a while now (since at least 2000) ...
This affects all Microsoft sites. Because of this I can't:
So there you have it, a rumor about the rumor being false.

Dear God, you need to calm down.
