Michael Crichton has a Ph.D from Harvard Medical School. The hardcover copy of State of Fear has around 21 pages of bibliography and each page has footnotes and citations for every fact. The author spent three years researching his topics before writing a book.
Um...but yeah...don't believe him, he's just a liberal hippie who doesn't know anything.
I believed in global warming (and that DDT is dangerous, among other things) before I read the book.
Yeah, you're right. Global warming isn't real. But a lot of us liberals know it, too.
Extensive information about global warming, particularly why it is not a threat, is explained very nicely in Michael Crichton's State of Fear. It's a great read.
Long story short: climates changes are cyclical, we just finished a period of warming, now we're in a period of cooling.
It's just like DDT, man...which is not dangerous. People jump on a bandwagon and believe anything that's popular.
Good point. The more I think about it the more I agree that the series itself remains unaffected, but I do think all the Simpsons games are terribly corny. It seems like having an animate series' license is an excuse to make a silly racing/whatever game for some quick cash.
Maybe I'm just taking the whole thing too seriously.
This kind of thing (animated series) doesn't need a video game, because it's GREAT the way it is. A video game, which who knows how seriously it will be taken (its production, not its content), is just cheapening the brand for true fans, ESPECIALLY if the game sucks.
And no, if it's good I won't take back my complaining. I just won't tell anyone I like it.
I must admit, the bill seems well put together. Not being able to spend more than 10% of the raised money on administrative costs is a good idea.
But one thing. The Davis lady (the one who is against the bill but hasn't read it) thinks that manufacturers should have to pay the cost, not the consumer...
Where does she think the manufacturers are going to get this money?
They're going to pass it onto the consumers, and probably as more than a $10 per computer increase in price.
I'm happy with a $10 flat fee. But, then again, I build my own PCs...And that's another story entirely...

No. If you read back a few stories, you'll see only .NET and JVM have security vulnerabilites.
This just in: Programming languages are insecure. They allow third parties to run arbitrary code on your processor.
Microsoft will be releasing a patch which fixes this problem soon. Stay tuned.
Ethereal, nmap, and snort always get the job done for me.

Please don't port all the good KDE apps to Windows.
The Windows people need as many reasons to switch as we can muster.
Like, you know, Kate and Kmail. And Kwrite. And even Konqueror!
Proving once again that x86 nerds with too much time are not the only nerds with too much time. There's PPC guys, too.
DDoS Mafia = Press' Term for Slashdot Horde?
In that case, the press should know...there's way more than four...and we're all willing to snitch...

It seems like some of these people spend more time writing about software than actually writing software...
