Chaos Theory is more appriate here than quantum mechanics. Just measuring the flow of traffic doesn't change the flow of traffic. However, making predictions based on your measurements can create a feedback loop which can affet the system.
I haven't seen F9/11 yet, so I can't really comment on it, it was really just talking about his past record. It may be that given the criticism he has had in the past he has made this film more watertight (i.e. the double checking you mentioned).
There's always the guy who robbed a Post Office wearing a motorbike helmet with a black visor. Unfortunately for him it failed to hide his identity because his name was written across the forehead.
Although Micheal Moore is a "documentary maker", his documentaries don't stand up to tough analysis. He has apparently used rather dodgy editing techniques (Charlton Heston's tie changes colour in what is supposedly one speech) and staged events and presented them as real (getting a shotgun from a bank). Although I am left wing and I enjoy Micheal Moore movies, I see them as the same type of documentary as The Office or This is Spinal Tap.
"6. How about a text mode interface for uberhackers? It could be really lightweight, just ctrl- to go back and forth, ctrl-r to reply, etc..."
Wouldn't it be better to use/create a separate program if you want a text-mode interface. AFAIK, file format compatability with TB wouldn't be a problem. If you want lightweight you don't want a program with the bloat of a GUI interface that you don't use. And anyway, don't uberhackers use CLI email already?
A lot of word processor users would not like the approach that LyX and its (LaTex?) backend use. Firstly, some people seem to enjoy spending hours focusing on the style rather than content, and would dislike having a standard style forced upon them. Secondly, most users don't do the things that push Word to its limits whilst LaTex performs them with ease (large numbers of headings, figures and equations etc.).
Hearing is very subjective. If I can't hear the difference between two systems I might as well buy the cheaper one, if you can, then by all means go for the more expensive one. But I shouldn't waste my money on a difference that only you can hear.
Features, whether a program is lacking them or has too many, don't seem to be the problem these days. Office software, if it wants to be the next MS Office needs one thing to even have the slightest chance of doing this. Complete compatability with MS Office. I know people who love Word Perfect, but have to use MS Word to work with others who use Word.
One feature that does need to be added to spreadsheet software is the ability to deal with uncertainty. Spurious accuracy is caused by people thinking that because Excel gives a value to x decimal places it mean that it is correct to x decimal places.
Surround sound? I know it's a different context, but many people say they can't hear the difference between 5.1 and the ones with even more speakers. (I'm happy with a decent pair of headphones)
I recently saw a programme that claimed that about 350,000 tonnes of materal from comets fall to earth each day. Most of this is water, hydrocarbons, ammonia, carbon and other stuff useful for creating life. I can't find any other source to back up the number, but most give a value of thousands of tonnes per year. Assuming that quantities of a similar magnitude a falling onto Mars' surface I'd be suprised if life hasn't been/isn't doing a bit of small scale terraforming already.
I'm English actually. I didn't mean to imply that Canadian troops didn't fight and die in WW2, I just wasn't aware of any examples of battles between Canadian and Japanese soldiers (this reply says they did happen.)
I'm well aware that countries other than the US and UK declared war on the axis countries, and people from neutral countries fought for the allies, like my Irish grandfather who was in the British RAF. Both my grandfathers were in the military in WW2, the Irish one was involved in the planning of operation Overlord and the other fought in France from D-day+14.
Precision isn't always a major requirement. For example dropping thousands of bomblets that are designed to detonate upon handling on a city could have a devastating effect on morale whilst doing relatively little damage to buildings and infrastructure. Kids love picking up unidentified stuff, and people get scared when there's a good chance that they might pick up something that's going to blow up.
As part of the British Empire, Canada were also at war with Japan (although I don't know how much fighting occured directly between the two countries), so accidentally attacking Canada probably still counted as a success for them.
Mr. Head was unavailable to comment, but in a prepared statement he expressed "his deep regret for any inconvenience he may have caused anyone."
Should read: "... deep regret for the great inconvenience he caused everyone whose email address he could get his dirty little hands on."
"Faith? The Al Qaeda hijackers had faith. The Nazi's had faith. The Jim Jones cult had faith. You ask me to have faith?"
Martin Luther King had faith, Mother Teresa had faith, Ghandi had faith. Faith is like a knife, it isn't good or bad, but it can be used in good or bad ways.

We need a nostalgic mod point.
Yes, but your Tonsils play a role in protecting you from infection, IE doesn't.
Because IE is tightly integrated into Windows, so that would mean that Symantec etc.. would be classifying Windows as a ... oh wait, good idea!

That would be a breach of FIFA rules. Really, it would.

Simple solution, install a landline phone in the cinema, so that a cinema worker can be contacted easily and they can arrange whatever help is needed.
Were all 4600 actually programs? A lot of the stuff Ad-aware picks up is things like cookies and registry values.
