It'll take a few more than just 2 launches to prove themselves (and their technology). Congrats to the Chinese, but please steer away from the big shiny things up there until you've a bit more driving experience in orbit. I'm not trolling - it's simply too soon to be cosidering anything like that.
There are very real fears that many of those who have been evacuated from New Orleans may be carrying Hepatitis A. A quarter of those affected may not show symptons. Anyone involved with housing or giving work to evacuees should help them to get themselves tested.
You're comparing this to the events in Los Angeles & San Diego? You're either stupid or woefully misinformed about what is happening in New Orleans right now. I suggest you start paying more attention because this mess is not over. We are witnessing a complete breakdown here.
And Panaflex was not suggesting that anyone "deserved" to be shot at. Youargue here without paying any attention to what is being said. It's a reflection of all that is wrong today with the "dialogue" between both "sides" in America today. Go back an re-read what was posted before spouting off with your sanctimonious crap.
Really, it's so fucking depressing to see the absolute ignorance of such a a large portion of American citizens these days.
In addition to the Wikipedia entry that ikkonoishi posted, you might want to have another look at flowerp's post as well. The xml file is named "podcast".
Now, on to plastic spaceships...

slashdot poster jumps to moronic conclusion. Many in the community believe it may have something to do with smoking too many doobies whilst spinning platters.
Everything the US did in Europe in the last century was seen as in the best interests of the US. Many Europeans found that that suited them just fine and have been forever grateful. But to suggest that 'Europe' has any obligation to the US is stupid. There were no US towns firebombed. It wasn't US citizens of being herded into camps outside Tulsa. Tanks didn't obliterate an entire county in Virginia.
Fact is, 'Europe' knows what all that shit is about. And too many in the US don't have a fucking clue. Tie a yellow ribbon, man.
As to your question, a powerfull laser could also make air warfare obsolete.
You do realize that the same was said for gunpowder. And the Gatling gun. And the battleship, aeroplane, tank, gas, a-bomb...
The US isn't fighting "Iraq" any longer. It hasn't been for quite some time now. The US is sitting in the middle of a low-grade civil war. And yes, there are quite a few weapons changing hands. In any case, this has never been something for the US to "win."
I very quickly remove my hand snagging it on one of the many sharp pieces of metal sticking out of old cases.
Ouch. A lot of otherwise (relatively) harmless electrical shocks cause secondary injuries due to just this sort of thing. I cracked my elbow pretty damn hard once because of this. I was amazed at how fast my arm moved (then i was amazed at how much it hurt).
There are several reasons why i'm vegetarian, and a couple of them have simply to do with how many animals are raised. Vat-meat surely avoids the cruelty of penned-up animals but the idea of meat which literally just sits there as it grows is really unappealing. If i were to eat meat, i'd prefer it to be free-range. It can only be healthier.
I can't agree with that. For most people (certainly in N. America) the natural world is very alien to themselves and their existence. I think what you meant to say is that this is a nature documentary which you found very entertaining. Nothing wrong with that.
That said, i have a saying i use when confronted (whether in a doc or in "real life") by some of the more bizarre occupants of our planet: "I wouldn't want to be the first off the spaceship." With the incredible variety of life here on Earth it's mind-boggling to think of what could be encountered orbiting some other star system.

Especially given all the bad Chinese take-away jokes after the first launch.

The first word in the paragraph should read 'PostgrSQL' i believe.
Interesting guide, thanks.

In Soviet Russia, the revolution wants YOU!
If you don't use your loyalty card the terrorists will have won.
In other news, authorities say that spatula-related terror incidents may be on the rise. Be vigilant. And keep shopping.
Your time... is my time.
That, and i've got Gibby Haynes screaming American Woman into a megaphone running through my head.
