Martouf and the Ancient guy whose name I can't remember. That's about it, really, aside from her undying love for Jack O'Neill. Oh, and there was Pete, who was BARELY recurring. So really, four-ish characters in 9 years... not terribly strange or excessive.
The OSS community STILL doesn't really have anything like Outlook that combines email with PIM data and talks to handheld/smart devices effectively and reliably. Evolution kinda does, but it seems like no one's gone to the effort of making the thing speak to Windows Mobile devices.
As for the CONTENT of your reply, I still am not inclined to agree. "While remaining cognizant of the rules and informed by convention" is quite a big leap to make.
It isn't. And I am flummoxed by neither MySpace nor AIM. The amount of data transmitted by internet shorthand gets smaller and smaller as the shorthanding gets more profound.
The other reasons make some kind of logical sense to me, but what the hell does "they just don't want it" mean? How is this separate from "Dialup is fast enough for my needs?" Does it mean they actively LIKE having a connection that is butt-slow on any kind of modern, flash-heavy website?
Both of the MiniDV cameras I have owned had both Firewire and USB2 ports. Both were capable of using USB2 to transfer video and control operation. One's USB camera control was a little buggy, but its video transfer was just fine. YMMV, of course.
It's truly amazing to me how many people's answer to the fact that we might get wiped out by global warming is "well, maybe it's just our time to go" or "we're a pox on the planet anyway" or any number of other things.
1) Why is the planet more important than its only known sentient, sapient species? Who is around to make judgements on the value of things if not the very creatures these people propose to eliminate? 2) Why are they so sure we are incapable of evolution? Look at the radical changes we've undergone as a species just in the last 200 years. There is every reason to believe we will become more aware of ourselves and better-equipped to make our presence on the planet more and more positive as time goes on. 3) Is the entire human body of knowledge, art, and culture worth so little that they'd be willing to throw away any future chance of development of those forever?
There are few things that make me angry on the internets. This is one of them, for some reason. Silly, but true.
Coming back to gay marriages, the best solution, IMHO, should be: let them marry, but give them no special benefits for being married. And give no special benefits to married heterosexual couples either, unless the help goes entirely to children who would suffer irreparable harm otherwise.
YES. This I completely agree with. The government should not be involved in the concept of "marriage" at all.
There are references to the GDI and Tiberium in the plot, and further references to the C&C universe also in the story pack they released when the game was canceled.
I was shocked to discover that people in non-urban areas appear to use the word "Jewish" as a general-purpose pejorative. Someone from rural Washington once said something like "fuck that, I don't care about Louisiana and their stupid jewish hurricane." Being from New York, I suppose I'll never be able to relate.
Do you really think it's possible to implement the wide, sweeping reforms the LP proposes without completely destabilizing and possibly destroying the economy? And, moreover, since rich people are taxed much more than poor, don't you think it would wildly shift the distribution of wealth into the richest hands immediately and do an excellent job of destroying the middle class?

Erm. She did?

xaoswow.com links to one of those generic "YOUR SOURCE FOR EVERYTHING OMG" sites.
What the hell are you talking about? I don't know what kind of crappy satellite radio YOU listen to, but MY satellite radio is assuredly almost CD-quality sound.
for failing to mention hot grits or petrification.
Is it good, or is it whack?
You win at Slashdot comments. Seriously.

I have a PII/400 server that gets by just fine.
It isn't. And I am flummoxed by neither MySpace nor AIM. The amount of data transmitted by internet shorthand gets smaller and smaller as the shorthanding gets more profound.
Why would it not be profitable for *someone* to import them from Canada or Mexico?
There is the small matter of the fact that China owns a sizeable chunk of the national debt. (Second to last paragraph)

Believe him! He has a really low uid!
Also, what makes you say Bush is trying to keep the Smart out of the USA? Is he also managing to keep it out of Mexico and Canada?
It sounds like a planetoid, to be honest. Sure is big enough to be one.
Basically, the guy got really unlucky and got made an example of. I hope he finds some way to get compensation, but it isn't likely.
Sadly, I think this will turn out to be completely worthless.
It would have been nice to have something that can eliminate the cold sore virus that's currently holed up in my trigeminal nerves, however.

Some even go so far as to suggest we should voluntarily die out.

If you're just under or around 14 or 15, you're probably thinking "OMIGOD I'M GONNA GET LAID!"
They're WAY bigger on the inside than they look from the outside. The amount of space inside one of those cars is truly amazing.
I also like the whole Prius+ hack, which makes them even more useful.
Am I the only one who thinks the Prius looks futuristic and cool?
