I really question the strategy of fighting this wall at all, from the US point of view. There best toys are on display to the whole world, real possible enemies like Chine, Russia, North Korea, just for the sake of a few thousand people killed in NY. The big boys get to see what the US have on hand, while devising strategies against them, and keeping there own secret weapons well hidden. Is this wise strategy?

While it hans't (ever?) happened, the Queen can still veto legislation in Canada through her official representative who must assent to all new legislation.
You speak of the Governor General, and while only a figure head, they do still have certain powers over the government.
Australia came so close to becoming a republic a few years ago, so hopefully in another couple of years we will have broken free from our opressors!
Yes, but how much by? Not that much. I think that when Intel released the Celerons, they relised that the Cache doesn't make that big a deal. So they deliberatly kept it behind in clock speed. AMD know this as well.
A point can be made that yes, these games are all the same. Just as Dune 2, Warcraft, Starcraft, Command and Conquer are also the same game. Just as all the tetris clones are all the same game. If you really enjoy those a type of game, and havent had enough yet, then you will buy another game. When you have had enough, you will start to see how similar they all are.
Lets all pitch in, and send then a stripper or something. That will give them something to talk about... obviously these guys deserve it more than we do!
Your witty remark is very... funny, but doesn't stop what the parent said being true. You have adopted a form of argument called "extremism", where you talk about the absolute exteme, in the hope that no one will notice your lack of logical premise.
I liked Blade Runner, as a sci-fi movie, it wasnt too bad. But the much was much better. I guess we, or certainly I, expect much more from a book. And generally are rewarded for it. Is this perhaps because one man writes a book, whereas many are involved in the creation of a film? Oh, forgot about Phantom Menace.
A Scanned Darkly was the first PKD novel i read, the first of many. I don't know how well PKD novels transfer on the screen, because they are so much about people, and their relationships with each other, just a few hundred years into the future. This does not bode well with the current Sci-Fi movie genre.
Never the less, i still get excited when a PKD event comes along...woohooo.
I don't want to talk about HailStorm because I think there's tremendous confusion about what the world thinks it is.
... well thats going to clear things up, by not talking about it.
This is a hands-down winner over Windows 95.
Interesting to compare your product to a previous product 6 year hence!
We released (XP) to manufacturing on Friday and are super-happy about it.
Why thats fab-brill!
But you're going down a complete slippery slope of what is it that we shouldn't do. I mean, Oh my gosh, we added a line of code. Ooh, boy, this line of code--you know, I don't know; maybe we used too many variable letters or something. It's very, very hard to know--which will eventually play out here--beyond people in this room how that'll play out.

Yeah, true, but how often is your credit card stolen by the people you work with?
The wole premise of the movie had very little to do with politics or patriotism, it had to do with the realities of war.
I think the point trying to be made is that you cant really seperate the two. Doing so gives an imcomplete picture.
In other words... nah nah, told you so!
Perhaps some sort of igniter could do this, like an unused probe sent hurtling in to the planet?
yeah, yeah, i know...
There is a remake of the racing game, called armagetron, very good game. Check it out:

One of the greatest fears i have is that some people actually believe that crap... but they wouldn't, would they??

But you are still going to see it, arent you! (like the rest of us).
Off course, if occurs to me that this was GL's plan. The first movie being crap, then the second will seem so much better. What a genius.

Not much of a double-edged sword. Die NOW or die LATER...hmmmm, choices, choices.
Do you get to see the picture of her nekkid tho??
one word...memento. Things are so bad now, that when a good movie comes along, you will probably hear about it!
How much worse will it get before we dont go to see the upcoming movies? Probably not even possible! GL is just taunting us.
