Searching for my first name (very common) and family name (rare), google gives me pages associated with me or some homonym. MSN search gives me pages associated with both names but not on the same line, i.e. not related to me. Google Image search also gives much more hits than the MSN equivalent. MSN does not have a spelling checker.
So for these, MSN search is not as good as google.
I used to have a bullshit bingo similar to this one except that it generated a matrix made from a list of randomly chosen bullshit phrases. Like this we could go to meetings each with a different sheet. It's trivial to do in javascript for instance.
I am looking forward to: Beyond Good & Evil: the NHL edition where gamers will enjoy taking pictures of strange creatures that infect NHL players in difficult to reach parts of their bodies.
Having worked for a pharma and now being in the public research sector, I know you are right. R&D represents 1/3 of the total budget of pharmas, of which Research is a 1/3. Nowadays, most new drugs are not coming from pharmas but from biotechs anyway. What pharmas are good at is Development which costs 100s of millions of dollars/euros, takes years and signals the death of most potential drugs coming out of research.
Can anyone explain to me who will pay for development if there are no patents? The only way pharmas can make money is by having the exclusivity on a drug for some time. If you can see another way, please tell me what it is.
You are correct Stephen no scientist would ever mention creationism. What on earth for?
I would add that there are only 2 places in the world that talk about creationism: the USA and the muslim fundamentalist countries.

For several european countries (notably the UK, Spain and France) journalists have problems with paramilitary groups (resp. Northern Irish groups, ETA and Corsican independentists) and not the governments. These problems helped peaceful (even particularly boring) countries to the top of the list.
BTW if you can't spell Reporters sans Frontières (there are 3 spelling mistakes!), write it in english Repoters without Borders.
It's standard testing to send garbage input to a program to check its stability. It becomes compulsory when your program is likely to get garbage like a web browser which is guarenteed to access junk input from time to time.
Apparently Mexican priests are also interested ! But the funny part is that (obviously) the mobile phone operators are against it but it also seems that it could contravene the EU legislation. So more is expected to come from this.
I saw this before. It was on one of those police video thingy. It was in the USA and a woman was panicking in her car because the cruise control had taken over. She had tried to brake but after a while the brakes had burnt off. When it comes to this guy in the Renault Velsatis, I saw some Renault engineer on French TV doubting that it could be possible. Time will tell.
... and poured mineral water into displays. That's a definite proof that this is a bourgeois conspiracy. Working class people would have used tap water!
You're funny. You take things so seriously. Maybe when maturity hits you (could be some years), you will have milder opinions. For the time being, you may stay confident you know the truth about everything and that everyone is ignorant.
President Ed Black wrote letters to Secretary of State Colin Powell and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoellick, telling them he knew they had been asked to "take extraordinary actions" because of the European decision.
Black urged them not to intervene. He said Microsoft was pressuring the U.S. government to pressure the European Union to ease off Microsoft.
Am I the only European here scared by this snipet from the Reuters article? Are we going to be bombed? Colin Powell is involved, next will it be Rumsfeld? What kind of excuse will he find this time?

I assume that this is country dependent. I mostly travel to Germany, France, the Netherlands and Spain, and I don't recall having to leave my passport in hotels.

As anyone noticed how MSN search sponsored sites area is almost exactly the same as google's?

You bastard! You just brought back some 12 year old memories that I wanted to forget. So please no more mentioning VAX/VMS.

It's the first time I'm being called ignorant by such a humour-impaired republican-loving uber-patriotic ....... person.
