As an Ontario resident I'm happy that I should no longer see texting while driving (yes it really happens). Something that concerns me even more is the number of drivers I see with their pets sitting on their lap or laying in the back window while they drive. One can remain in control of a vehicle while talking on the phone, but if Fido jumps on your lap from the passenger seat or backseat, it is very easy to lose control.
All pets should be in a kennel or in a caged off area of the vehicle (station wagon, van), otherwise a fine should be immediately issued.
Romantic relationships are built on ATTRACTION. While it is not impossible to build initial attraction without physical contact (online), it is often difficult to maintain attraction without it. Things change chemically in the brain after a passionate kiss, after physical touch, after sex.
Caring, trust, and honesty are great things to have in a relationship, but remove the attraction and what do you have? You've got a friend.
Terrorism? How about a large solar flare pointed in our direction. That oughta be enough to take down every satellite in on the daylight side of the globe.
Michio Kaku says that for a civilization to progress from a type 0 to a type 1 civilization (ie able to harness the laws of thermodynamics) is very unlikely without self destruction. It is very possible that other civilizations in outer space destroyed themselves (or nuked themselves back to the stone age) after discovering element 92 (as we might yet do).
Sure, it sounds crazy, but professional remote viewers have been predicting this for some time. Conveniently, they sell a DVDs on how to save your own ass. I'll save you $400 and say that your best advice is to get WAY underground when you hear of a space shuttle being hit by some sort of small projectile in space (like a pebble). This is the nearest preceeding event to the big solar flare that will nuke us./crazy rant.
As much as Hoagland is a loon, he has been predicting all the recent discoveries for like 10 years. And with the recent solar flare activity I am nervously believing in Dames's Killshot.
If we committed to a man-on-mars program, I've heard that every dollar spent would add 23 dollars to the economy. The problem is, we went to Iraq instead.

The agent you spoke with did not handle the situation properly. We are supposed to troubleshoot your issue completely regardless of the status of your service contract, and if you need to buy a spare part (ie: out of warranty) we conference you with the spare parts division, tell them exactly which part number you need and it will be sent out. Also, if the customer feels completely confident replacing the part we do not need to send a tech.
I wish I could mod stories as -1 Flamebait and then filter them out. The problem is, this thread will see 800 replies which generates a TON of revenue.
The 90s and early 00s were a time of commodity hardware. In these new days of proprietary form factors and integrated sound/video/everything people have resigned themselves to the fact that they will not be upgrading specific hardware components during the life of their machine and are getting a Mac.
It is a lot more emotional for those who don't have the skillset or contact network to find new work. For the confident employee that knows he has what it takes to be successful, it is a time of opportunity, not crisis.
I went out with my girlfriend tonight to take a look, but it pretty much sucked. I saw one blip and that was all. The moon was far too bright and made viewing impossible.
I just called to cancel my Sympatico account. It will be disconnected tomorrow morning before 8:00. The alternative, Rogers, used a heavy advertising campaign bragging "No cap, now or ever" to lure customers to their new 5Mb service, then proceeded to implement a 60GB cap a few months later. We cancelled that too. There is apparently no non-evil ISP in my area.
What I'd really like to see the devs too is to move a large chunk of the FF featureset to a default plugin that is enabled by default. That way, users who want to run a stripped down version of FF can just remove the plugin and have an extremely light browsing experience. The users who want to run the full-featured Firefox simply run it out of the box.
Shouldn't the Linux community first worry about usability issues for the 99.9% of folks who are not disabled? I'm all for accessability, but so many fully-abled people have problems with Linux usability already, if devs were to strap accessability options onto a difficult to use product it would leave everyone unhappy.
Perhaps they should work on having an easy to use product, and then making it easy to use for those who are disabled. This way everyone is happy.
I am suprised that they did not include Adios. The nicest feature is the ability to run multiple Linux kernels in userspace (User Mode Linux). It also comes with heaps of security tools on the LiveCD.

And where are they going to launch these craft? Not in the USA.... Bob Bigelow had to take his launch to Russia.

Apparently you havn't been paying attention to the Philippines. Remember, this is GLOBAL warming, not Americas warming.

I wonder if any of the spider-based web archiving sites caught it in time.

I believe a majority was in favor of slavery... that doesn't make it right.

Yes! I can finally completely uninstall it from my system!
Actually, I'll just stick to my Mac.

Next time I'll be sure to use tags for you.
Oh come on... how can he claim innovation is dead? There are tons of innovative products that have flooded the marketplace.

The only link I see between 'Virus -> Humans' and 'ID' is that both are conclusions brought about by speculation.
I feel terrible for both of us. Lol.
Yea, but I hear that one turned out to be a real lemon.
