There was only 1 first man on the moon. Who gives a damn who else went later from the USSR.
Um, nobody went later from the USSR. The US is the only country to have sent men to the moon, although the USSR did have some interesting robotic probes that made it up there (and a few that made the return trip, as well).
We're talking about two different games here. The first, Civilization (later augmented by Advanced Civilization) is the classic from Avalon Hill that you played twenty years ago (and that everyone ought to try, it's a pretty good game).
The one mentioned in the article is properly titled Sid Meier's Civilization, and includes a lot of the concepts found in the computer game.

Worm writers have got to start taking security more seriously.
My complaint was just that the submitter combined the "could soon...safeguard the nation's drinking water" with "summer 2005", a combination definitely not stated or implied by the article.
By the summer of 2005, the United States will have an underwater network of robots monitoring the nations fresh water supply.
The article only mentions a project to monitor the Seneca River, some connected lakes, and an existing system that monitors part of the water supply for New York City. That's not quite "the nation's fresh water supply," although it is certainly a promising technology.
For what it's worth, metric paper isn't actually the same shape, either. It just comes a lot closer than non-metric paper does.
Example: A4 = 210x297 297 / 210 = 1.41428571429
A5 = 148x210 210 / 148 = 1.41891891892
Furthermore, none of these has a ratio equal to the square root of 2, since that's impossible using integer lengths for the sides. Still a better standard for paper sizes than what we're using in the U.S., though.

* The first 100TB Rack is up and running!
* The second 100TB Rack will be up by the end of May
Apparently this is some new use of the word "ready" with which I am not familiar. Neat technology, no doubt, but it doesn't really look like it's ready for prime time just yet.
For what it's worth, they carry GBA SP batteries at GameStop (and probably other stores too), and you can swap them with just a screwdriver. They also have higher capacity batteries that will last up to, I think, thirty hours. It's just as easy to bring along a spare SP battery as it is AA batteries, if you ask me.
You can learn CS without any math at all. CS is about finding algorithms, which has more in common with cooking than calculating.
I think what you're forgetting is that the biggest thing you take away from a (good) math education isn't a set of equations and formulas, but is an ability to set up structured arguments and proofs.
You say that CS is about finding algorithms. What exactly are you doing with them once you've found them? It sure would be handy if you could, for example, prove that algorithm A is always faster than algorithm B, or demonstrate that algorithm C doesn't handle certain situations, instead of just guessing or trusting your gut. That's exactly where a solid understanding of mathematics comes in.
How about firing the genius who lets laptops connect directly to the internal network? It's a laptop, the whole point is that it's portable. It should be assumed that it will be taken somewhere else and connected to untrusted networks. At your facility, you should connect laptops to a purgatorial network between firewalls, so that they're protected from the outside world but don't have unrestricted access to everything on the inside. It's just common sense.
While there was certainly more than a 2/3 majority when congress passed the bill, the vote was 357-66 in the House and 98-1 in the Senate. Not quite "3 no votes total", but bravo getting modded up with made up numbers anyway.
If you get stuck (or just don't want to spend time figuring out what to do next), check out the walkthrough from Nintendo. Full walkthrough, with maps and detailed directions, for both Ocarina of Time and Ocarina of Time: Master Quest.
When you're done with that, the main Legend of Zelda site has some (less detailed) walkthroughs for all the other Zelda games (except WindWaker and Link to the Past/Four Swords, since Nintendo is currently selling guidebooks for those).
Um, the president didn't pass the PATRIOT act. The congress did.
(Not to say that your question is totally without merit, but let's not forget who does what here.)
Um, the president signed the PATRIOT Act, and is pushing for its renewal, so I think it's pretty fair to count the act against him (as well as against those members of Congress that voted for it).
"He signed you bill, now you're a law!!!"

Instead of just playing the same game, get a copy of the promotional disc that came out during the presale of WindWaker that has Ocarina of Time and Ocarina of Time: Master Quest. Try your local used game store or eBay. The Master Quest is intense, and every bit as fun as the first time through.
I've always felt it was a shame that AOL didn't use the same voice for their own client as they did in the CompuServe client. A female voice telling me about my mail is always preferable to guy doing the AOL sound.

Yeah, especially if by "cheap PC" you mean "some PC components on a shelf".
Then who are these people? And why are they talking about equipping the safety rest stops with wifi?

Wow, finally a thread where all those "In Soviet Russia..." message are on topic!
I know you're just going for a lame joke, but for the record, Uranus does have rings.
T-shirts have sleeves ?!
That's actually the definition of a t-shirt. What kind of t-shirts have you been wearing?

I heard they can even use this to scan UPC codes!
Hey, as long as the trailer is more than a guy dressed in black shouting "Zelda! Zelda!", I think we're doing okay.
Yes, but in the middle of the night it will let all of your data out and scratch up the side of your SUV.
Sorry, a terabyte is 1000 gigabytes, and a petabyte is 1000000 gigabytes. The article was correct.
