It would be very impractical. There was a reason why they started using satellites instead of U-2s. It's highly impractical to have to launch something everytime you need to spy on someone, and it also tips them off to the fact that you *are* spying on them. Besides, any camera in there would melt.
OK, I just talked to someone who bought hl2. He said that it was just a small download, and didn't take too long(he was on dialup too). So, maybe it's not so bad after all.
Are you sure that's what it meant? Maybe it was finished downloading 78% of the bug fixes? Look, I'm not too sure about this, but I kind of doubt that they'd do something *this* stupid. It's possible, but, yeah, unlikely.
Uh, bug fixes? Even just released stuff has bug fixes already out. They find bugs between the time it goes gold, gets imprinted on to discs, is put in little boxes, then shipped to the stores, where it waits to be put on the shelves. It takes time, and they continue working on it finding bugs. What that person is downloading consists of bug fixes and other things. Of course I could be wrong, and the cd's really don't have the full game, but that's crazy. If I'm wrong, sorry, but I have to think they're bug fixes. As for being responsible for the bandwidth, well, since you can't return the game after installing it to that point, you are screwed, but it's not like you're downloading this all over dialup charged by hour. If you are, then you should complain, and I do think that Vivendi should mention that on the box.
Jeez, you're stupid. That's *not* how it works. Obviously you're of no use to society since all you can do is complain about how stupid people are, and then tell them the *wrong* thing, and mock them for *their* stupidity. No, you do not even have a clue as to what a hologram is. What you are talking about is common, but it is *not* a hologram. For the grandparent poster(not you, you're too stupid):It's a 3d picture that is stored in a 2d film. The 2d film actually stores the interference pattern created between the source laser beam and the source laser beam reflected off of the object the hologram is being made of. That's not precise, I'd recommend checking the wikipedia on this.
I could apply similar logic to many great inventions of the past century, and complain about the inventors intentionally trying to kill people. You think your monitors safe? It's inherently dangerous to have those giant capacitors sitting around within *feet* of a kitchen sink. It's horrible I tell you.:-)
I can't wait till people say their OS is "Google." That would make my day, especially considering all of the things they are doing, and the things they could do to replace M$ software.
That's actually the electromagnetic force, and we've been using it as energy for a long time now. The strong force is what keeps the nucleus, made out of neutrons and protons together.
It has been explained in many other posts above yours. Mainly, it's not meant to be legally binding, it's meant to demonstrate that Novell execs believed that they owned SysV.
Hey, we all make mistakes(well, not according to Bush...). Yes, it was good to take him out of power, but not *great*, and certainly not worth the loss of life. Also, this other post of mine kinda points out a problem with that argument anyway:

Good analogy:
One guy with a machine gun a mile out from a chargin g horde of peasants. You could wait and see if they're friendly(50-50), or take as many out before they reach you.
It doesn't, but it wouldn't have happened if we hadn't tried to use middle eastern nations as pets during the cold war. Also, why aren't we invading Turkey? Hmmm? Why, you ask? Because the Turkish army killed 40,000 Kurds! You know what the U.S. did to stop that? We gave them $300 million in *military* aid. Now we're just trying to get them into the EU, a fitting punishment for them(specifically, their terrible leader, not the Turkish people).
Yes, the families of the people killed by *mis*-guided missiles sure are proud of their son's sacrifice. So proud, that they decided to aid the insurgents.
The funny thing is, with Britain an assumed ally of the US, if the letter had said vote for Bush, it probably would have affirmed it in their minds that Bush was the way to go.
See, you're thing was that college grads might not become post grads because they need to get a job to support themselves. Yet, that's about as likely for high school dropouts too. Some people drop out because they're too apathetic, but not nearly all. I wasn't really saying that high school dropouts are certainly on the same level intellect wise, but I do think it's presumptuous to assume that you are somehow smarter because you were able to read, write, and memorize you're way through college.
Wow, are we one for broad generalizations. How is it that a college grad that doesn't get a post grad degree is some how comparable to a post grad, because he might have to get a job to live or something, yet a high school dropout is not, even though he or she might need to work to live. Tell me, is it only because it doesn't support your point, or do you have some actual rationale?
Hmmm, I don't think college grads are immediately smarter.Many high school dropouts are just as smart but need to go and get a job to pay for..um...living and stuff.

Yeah, I hear you man. The same thing happened with my leaded gas stockpile.
I bought 50,000 gallons of leaded gas back in the 70's. Now, most cars don't support leaded gas, which is the first think I check for when I look at these types of products. If a car doesn't support leaded gas, then they're writing off me and others like me who aren't willing to compromise. It doesn't really matter if you understand why all us crazy gas buyres like leaded gas, but if you're a company making cars and want our business, you damn well better know that we do in fact want it.

Also, Kerry won't support an amendment banning the slaughter of rabid racoons, Bush will. That's the difference. ;-) (I know, I know..)

And notice that the numbers keep changing too! Before it was 50000, now it's "millions" of iraqis that Saddam killed. :-)
The funny thing is, with Britain an assumed ally of the US, if the letter had said vote for Bush, it probably would have affirmed it in their minds that Bush was the way to go.
And yet, Kerry doesn't support gay marriage. Take a lookie at this though: http://laweekly.blogs.com/joshuah_bearman/2004/10/ how_they_do_par_1.html
Is it so ridiculous when you consider that many of these machines are made by companies owned by Republicans?
Uh, no, according to this: http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/sta tes/US/P/00/epolls.0.html
it was about equal.
