Actually, at least one online hunting service (I believe the first one mentioned on Slashdot, one down in Texas) allows for the hunter to have his game packaged and shipped to him.
That the series simply sucks? I stopped watching it in the first season, so I can't really speak for any other seasons, but the little I've seen when my dad watches during dinner has really been crap. Where has the wit and wonder of TNG and DS9 gone?
One thing that should be obvious about mankind by now is that it's entirely impossible for an industrialised society to live comfortably without disrupting the environment in some manner. Right now, Mars has (as far as we can tell) zero life on it. Introducing a breatheable atmosphere isn't going to change that until we start planting things, or letting animals run loose. The only effect I can see of giving Mars a friendly atmosphere might be the end of dust storms... and we wouldn't want those anyway. The point is that there isn't much of an ecology to ruin without life. Of course, the landscapes might be pretty to some (such as myself, judging from lander pictures), so naturally there should be areas cordoned off for preservation -- but preserving a lifeless wasteland is much easier than an interdependent ecology such as the one(s) here on Earth.
My grandparents are quite prudent: my grandmother quit driving a couple of years back when she realised that her vision was too bad and her reaction time too long to drive safely. My grandfather, on the other hand, is eighty-four (older than my grandmother), yet can still drive as well as he did when he was, say, forty. Also, they recently moved to an "independent-living" apartment complex, with help nearby if they need it.
I think that my grandparents are an excellent example to others their age. My father's mother, on the other side of the family, insists on living by herself, even though she's in worse shape than either of my mother's parents. Too many elderly people overestimate their abilities, or at least don't take proper precautions -- like having help nearby, or at least a family member around in case of a problem. Whether they like it or not, the fact is (at least in most cases) that they aren't able to do things as well as they could at earlier ages. Even my grandfather, who is probably in the best condition anyone could be at 84, has taken the proper measures to ensure that he and his wife have all the assistance they need.
The Commission on Presidential Debates isn't a governmental entity--it's a private corporation.
Indeed it is. But as Badnarik said in his letter announcing this attempt to enter the debates, "The CPD, as a non-profit, has received
special treatment from government on the requirement that they be
non-partisan in their activities. Bi-partisan is not non-partisan."
He goes on to explain, "Unless I am allowed to participate, the debates become a massive
campaign contribution to two of the candidates, illegal under the very
campaign finance laws those two candidates have passed and signed as
Senator and President." Makes sense to me.

Seriously. Punning with Zelda ... Give me mod points.

Is that like a P-P-P-Powerbook?
It's Neal Boortz. And yes, he's awesome :-)
I used to play this game all the time. I had no idea this was out there. New, effective time-wasting method :-D!
But it's Finland ...
*cough*
You mean you hope he doesn't fly over your house ;-)
... We are pleased to present John Kerrry!!!
You have to lose your sanity.
Come on. Can this do anything but benefit Nintendo?
"I want to start a flame war on Slashdot!" Solution: post an article saying Windows > Linux in any fashion :-P

is it worth the risk ... to the potential careers of the graduates of the course?
They're the ones who choose to take the course.

Do four images of Bill Gates as a Borg on the front page of your favourite news site scare anyone else?

Hmmm
*stabs himself*
Money.
This guy seems to like the idea that every user is a complete idiot. There are some idiots out there, you say? Then let them use IE.
Mitnick, you dolt! :-)

I was just in Denton (30 minutes north of Keller) for a concert this weekend! Dang it, I should have STAYED! >_

Your argument is flawed. Human nature includes selfishness, and Marx's ideas went against that nature. My assumption relies on human nature.
