Do you know why the Cold War stayed "cold"? The threat of mutual annihilation. Once one country is no longer afraid of the other, the tables turn, and the Russians are not willing to be caught on the losing end.
The other day I played an old.rm file, first time I'd used the Real player in years. From that point on, every time my computer would reboot I would get the RealMedia Message Center popup telling me to update. No options on disabling it, and it didn't appear in the Startup folder. I had to run msconfig and disable tkbell-something-or-other to get rid of that. Annoying as hell.
So, are there any other players out there that support.rm format?
Personally I wonder if there are any rules against taking money from a corporation and then not voting the way that corporation wanted you to. Seems like a win-win scenario to me.
Not insightful, as they are completely different situations. With windows, you can close the blinds. With wiretapping, you cannot choose to not be tapped.
You could choose not to use unsecured phone lines. Nobody's stopping you from doing all your communication through encrypted email.
If you're in physical therapy for a hand injury, guitar hero should probably be the last game you want to play. It's worse on your carpal tunnel than Diablo! I've had CTS for over a year until it got better a couple years ago. My hand started hurting again after 5 minutes with Guitar Hero when I tried it recently, and that was on the easy setting.
Heh, this reminds me of a recording I heard online. Telemarketer calls advertising grave plots or coffins or something similar, and the guy answers with "OMG! I was just considering committing suicide and was praying for a sign! You're like the Angel of Death, man!" This went on for 5 minutes or more, with in the end the telemarketer suggesting which of his products/services to get (and pay for) before doing the deed. Not sure whether or not this was a hoax, but was still funny.
The rulebook of my high school explicitly forbid bringing to school "anything that can be used as a weapon." I brought up the point that this would effectively expel all small freshmen who could be picked up and thrown at other people.
And just because "they can come back and register with false information," is that any reason to let persons who have registered with their real information stay?
I'd say the answer is a resounding YES. At least then the parents who take an actual interest in their children's activities could have a chance to look up the person who's interacting with them and prevent bad things from happening.
I've supported the U.S. Government plenty of times in the past with no problems. Imagine the sheer number of people they have in their files, if only a few get tortured here and there it's probably a negligible percentage. I'm sure similar situations have happened with other countries' governments too.
what they are saying is people are only generous because it feels good. That is, if it did not give them that feel good feeling, they would not be generous.
Quite often people are only generous because it feels bad if they aren't. Two sides of the same coin of course.
I think you'll have a hard time convincing human judges to vote for the Green Blob representing Omicron Percei 8. On the other hand, I do hear good things about those Orion slave girls.
I can't wait until we find signs of life on Mars or Europa. Even bacteria would be the most important discovery in the history of humanity, but the mindless masses with simply shrug their shoulders and flip the channel to something a bit more their level.
Define "most important discovery in the history of humanity" please.
I consider fire to be rather important. Electricity, atomic energy, microbiology, genetics, radio waves, etc. Plus all the neat inventions which make uses of said discoveries.... Bacteria on Mars would be interesting certainly, and fuel many religious debates, but how exactly would they be "the most important"?
If FTL travel ever comes about, we can see if there's different materials out there that we're not aware of. Too bad I won't live to see it.
You never know where technology will take us, even in the near future. Some say that we might experience technological singularity within the next 20 years. Then it might be a rather short time until FTL, or at least the ability to prolong one's life/consciousness. Then again, it might also be a rather short time until our extinction.

So, like. You can vote republican AND rape little girl like aliens?
Come on, this is slashdot here. You should at least get the difference between little girl-like aliens and little girl-like mutants right.

Funny how we don't seem to be seeing much of that, considering oil prices; I think it's time to retire the oil argument.
Why don't you check out the Big Oil profits from the last few years.

You don't have to miss on the initial spray to get water on the seat. There's also the drip factor afterwards.
Flamebait? How in the hell is praising Star Trek: The Next Generation considered to be "Flaimbait"?

Blame J. Michael Straczynski and Babylon 5 series, proved you can create successful long running high grade SciFi series.
I thought Star Trek: TNG was already a successful long running high grade SciFi series?

Give up after only 50 points? Must be a boring game.
When you outlaw hacking tools, only outlaws will have hacking tools.

I dunno, he did make a rather popular movie trilogy based on the game Angband.
Sounds like adblock and noscript should be the extensions of choice for you.

Ayn Rand beat you to this by 60 years or so.
I sincerely doubt that Ayn Rand was the first to come up with that.

And then they turn 18, and God fills their souls with maturity, and all is well.
Seriously, I can see this sort of thing happening in France, but UK? That took me by surprise.
