No where in your quoted section is the OP saying that 31% of US births should have been eliminated. He said that 31% of US births WOULD NOT have happened in the past.
Big difference between saying something would not have happened in the past, and saying something should have been prevented.
The OP is right in the fact that modern science is changing our overall genetic makeup.
Your wife fell off a horse. Maybe she was taught improperly, maybe horses don't like her. In the past when riding a horse was a primary mode of transport, your wife would be at a disadvantage. If she fell off a horse and couldn't have kids that removes the can't ride a horse trait from the gene pool. Note that this could be a learned behavior. If your wife didn't learn to ride a horse properly, odds are her child would also learn incorrectly. Had your wife not broken her pelvis and been able to have a natural birth, then the strong bones / knows how to take a fall trait would have been passed on.
Well Scrubs was on for 8 or 9 years, so thats a pretty good run. I think Bill Lawrence and Zack Braff are done with the show, even tho its being renewed by ABC.
After Fox canceled Space above and beyond, and NBC canceled Earth 2 and SeaQuest, I pretty much gave up watching SciFi shows on the major networks.
Lately I have been very hesitant to start watching new tv shows. I only have so much time and don't want to waste my life infront of the tv. Now that Scrubs and Earl are gone, thats 2 less shows to watch.
I am glad all the idiots like this reality television, I am not tempted to watch this crap, giving me more time to spend doing other things.
Look for Adobe Acrobat # Document or Application/pdf and make sure it is set to Always Ask
No need to install an extension for this. Now you can choose Open which will download the pdf, save it to the temp dir, then open your local pdf program. Or you can choose Save and save it somewhere.
The main reason FF will freeze is because the Adobe plugin will display the first page of the pdf as soon as it can. Then if you hit page down before the next page is finished downloading the plugin barfs and locks up FF until the pdf is downloaded or until you kill the adobereader.exe process
I have a drive I need to mount when I'm in the office. I don't remember the exact reason why I didn't want to make it persistent across reboots, (probably because it annoyed me when I wasent in the office and would try and reconnect)

Yeah, using firefox it asks you to download a small exe that will give you a code. Then you paste that code into the ms website and it gives you the update.
Ok I think I got it. Damn you for trying to ruin my childhood memories of one of the best movie series.
Future Biff gives 1955 Biff the almanac.
1955 Biff thinks it a bunch of bull. At that point in time 1955 Biff doesn't believe the almanac, so there is no change to the timeline, so Future Biff goes to the "normal" future (the time he came from)
He puts the DeLorean back.
Then 1955 Biff realizes the almanac is real, then the timeline branches off. http://img232.imageshack.us/my.php?image=howitworkedwm9.png
For the large majority of the population, download means "get it from the internet" which is what Websters says. For them upload means "send it to a website" which again, agrees with Websters definition. So no surprise that Wikipedia's definition is based on what the words mean to a large majority.
I found this on the web, but am not an IEEE member so I can't confirm

Downloading - Transferring a file from a higher level device to a lower level device. Going DOWN the chain. Your PC is above the PLC, so you download the ladder logic to the PLC. Your PC is at the bottom of the list on the internet, so you download from web/ftp servers to your PC.
Uploading - Transferring a file from a lower level device to a higher level device. Going UP the chain. You sending a file to a server, the server is higher up so you UPload. The PLC is below the PC so you UPLOAD the plc program to your PC.
I was watching TV last night (1/1/09 around 8pm) and Viacom was STILL running 30 second ads saying how Time Warner removed 19 channels from your lineup. Along with the Time Warner phone number. So it looks like Viacom was prepared to remove the channels and wasn't bargaining in good faith. A deal was made, yet Viacom already had the ads lined up and still ran them, even tho the channels were still on the air.
Earlier this year it was Lin TV and TimeWarner (CBS in Buffalo), now Viacom and TimeWarner. I just wonder how much more my bill will be in a year from now after every other company demands more money from TimeWarner.
Why the hell would you want to change a user's password from what they entered?
So I'm the Luser and type "pink ponies " for my new password. Your software silently changes it to "pink ponies" Tomorrow I get to call the help desk because my new password doesn't work. Now your calling me a luser since I can't remember a password for 24hrs.
The Refurb Sansas that I got from Woot actually had metal colored 3d stickers spelling out REFURB on the back. I was able to scrape them off, but some of the adhesive remained. I think its gone by now. I you get a Sansa E2xx series, get a v1 so you can use Rockbox on it. I don't think Rockbox works on the v2 sansa e2xx series yet.
SO WHY CAN'T YOU WHITELIST THE SITE THAT YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT? Along with any other sites you support?
Its not that hard to build up a whitelist. The first time you visit a "trusted" or regular site, add it to the white list. Does it have any subdomains, or "partner" domains that you also need to add? Go ahead and add them.
So many people complain about how NoScript breaks pages, but its really not that hard at all to setup a whitelist.
Now when your redirected/accidentally click on a link to dgdrklgdr.com/e3rer it can't run any javascript on your pc.
She increased the taxes on oil companies in Alaska, and some that income went to Alaskans, in addition their normal yearly dividend from the oil companies. (You do know that you get 1-2 thousand a year just for living in Alaska from the oil companies)
Another view is that the Banks who were "forced" by the CRA to give out "subprime" loans (following CRA rules) found them to be profitable, and the risk was no worse compared to prime loans.
Then a bunch of greedy wall street people realize they can make money by getting into the subprime market.
According to law professor Michael S. Barr, a Treasury Department official under President Clinton "More than half of subprime loans were made by independent mortgage companies not subject to comprehensive federal supervision"
If we stay there indefinitely won't that result in people growing up there hating the American government for its occupation of their country. Al Quada would like a McCain presidency because it would mean buisness as usual for the war in Iraq, which Al Quada could use as a recruitment tool to get new members.
In the past couple of months i've gotten 2 car warranty calls, and 3 or 4 direct TV offers. Each time I look up the caller ID on www.whocalled.us there are many other complaints about it being the warranty scam or direct tv offer. One time someone went so far as to post the name of the guy who the phone was registered too. Poor guy, this company was obviously faking the caller ID when they made their calls. I looked up the guy in a phone book, and he had 2 numbers listed, I assumed he needed to change the first number after getting harassing calls from angry people who received telemarketing calls.

How do I watch NASA TV????
Using firfox on winxp here at work and it keeps redirecting me to a help page.

Apparently it thinks I need to install more plug ins... but I never even get a chance to see the webpage with the video.
Have a stream address I can plug into VLC?
