I've seen the term "dick waving" quite enough for one day.
Leave it to the Protocols of the Elders of Slashdot to put a negative spin on even this story.
OK, you want conspiracy?
Well, what *I* heard from my brother in law who knows a guy who reads the web site called thegovernmentislyingtoyou.org is that they are shooting down the spy satellite as a warning to the Space Station. It's basically NASA saying "We brought you into this world, and we can take you out of it."
The astronauts will be taken from the Atlantis and flown directly to the Vatican (the *real* Vatican hidden under the Antarctic ice pack) where they must restate their loyalty oaths to the New World Order, or face prolonged sentences in pain amplification devices at Gitmo. Those patches on the spacesuits are actually agonizers.
Seems those guys up there, especially when there's Russians on board, have been having whispered conversations (picked up by secret microphones placed on the ISS by the NSA, the DEA, the NRO, the Department of the Interior and the National Endowment for the Arts) involving phrases like "independent colony" and "breakaway republic in orbit" and similar subversive things.
Oh, and according to enterprisemission.com, smokingscalarweapon.com and the Facebook page of a former alien abductee, the window for shooting down USA 193 is defined by the eclipsed moon passing through the seventh house of Jupiter, and the alignment of Mars with a portion of the sky identified in ancient Vedic texts describing a nuclear war in India in 14,000 B.C.
I predict if they get Photoshop running properly on Linux, Linux users will abandon the OS in favor of something even more obscure and difficult to use. There is another theory that states that this has already happened.
The Roman Catholic church has recognized evolution essentially as fact and completely compatible with the bible. So I don't really understand what the problem is with Protestants in this country.
So get a job, honestly, nobody inherently deserves to be able to survive decades from doing something once early in life Or *invest* those earnings from the big hit and live off of that. I have no sympathy for people who were millionaires due to some one time hit and then frittered it away.
Puritan? I was arguing the exact opposite. They aren't dubious pleasures, they're great pleasures! Add in hookers and I'm in heaven!
I really have to remember that the average IQ of Slashdot has fallen in recent years, and that I need to add explanatory supplements to every little quip.
Why have a key to open your front door when you can have an RFID tag implanted in your arm that will do the trick? Because someone, somewhere, will think, "Hmm, if I chop off that guys arm, I can get into his house."
Well, I was speaking more about street and public lighting in commercial areas. They thought one of the factors was that a crook has to use a flashlight, and that's noticeable.
Closets will help pick out the right dress for a party. Countertops will be able to identify groceries set on them and make menu suggestions. I know when I wake up in the morning I think, "Gosh, I wish my house yammered at me more."
Well, I'll stick with a nice large TV. Better for the gaming.
And I'll still eat in front of the TV. It's multitasking. It's efficient.:-) I even bought special plates that they use in mental institutions to reduce spills.:-D
I've been considering going strictly to DVD for television shows. I'm already doing that with Dexter because I won't subscribe to Showtime for one show. Besides, I still don't forgive them for canceling Dead Like Me.
Everything hits DVDs eventually, even stuff with short runs like Firefly, and Netflix reduces the cost to a minimal amount It's about $1 a rental for my rate of turnover + a few cents for blank media if I want to keep a copy.
I've fallen away from BitTorrent. A few too many broken files and weird video codecs. Just gimme a disc.
We're not going to make it, and we don't deserve to. I found it all really interesting.
It's "Oh woe is us!" attitudes like yours that make *me* misanthropic.
What are these wondrous other things we could be doing in space? Ever consider that if they were really practical and provided the return you thought they did, someone would be doing them? I work in the space industry, and most people have no damned idea was a pain in the arse it is to do anything.

would rather see a Paris Hilton sex video.
I've seen it. That bank documents are more arousing.

Just a guess: Protestant != Catholic
So now we just build one 200 feet tall, and an array of 5000 of them, and we eliminate out energy problems forever!
Build them in Kansas. They don't believe in gravity there anyway, so they won;t see them.
I see my summer reading plans are set! Woot!
They should get Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney to be the site avatar/host now that he's retired.
"Guess where *I'm* calling from!"
So nearly half of its structure is junky looking "futuristic" plastic just for looks?
If they got rid of hat and just put the keyboard there, they wouldn't need a failure prone moving slider part.
Yeah. Where's the "let's all come together" Obama-mania?
I hear more vitriol from Obama supporters and *anyone* else.
...desire.
:-)
There's an even better way to separate the hydrogen and carbon. Burn it.
Eample: C7H16 + 22 O2 = 7 CO2 + 8 H20
Yeah, your C and H gets all mucked up with that nasty O, but there ya go.
...against people living off early works is the Phil Spector Syndrome.
You wind up with things like this prowling around and causing deaths.

They're in the same place as the buggy whip, hand cranked Ditto machines, wire voice recorders, the Zune and the Underwood typewriter.
Let it go. Move on.
Interesting. Do you have any references for properly lighting your home for maximum crime deterrence?
Not handy. Google is your friend. The studies were more focused on commercial zones, if I recall correctly.
I have a streetlight right in front of my house, but have still had a couple minor criminal incidents.
Oh, well, that disproves everything then.
Well, I was speaking more about street and public lighting in commercial areas. They thought one of the factors was that a crook has to use a flashlight, and that's noticeable.
There's even studies that show a lot of lighting does NOT deter crime. All it does is let the crook see what he's doing.
I dunno... this all this sounds really annoying.

How about Handi-capable?
I didn't know IBM hired Rob Liefeld. Did they put Cable in charge of the investigation?
Organized crime, huh? When they hit your browser, does the screen just go black?
It doesn't matter what you believe or are feeling, the Internet is big enough that you can find a group of people just like you.
:-(
I dunno... After 20 years on the internets I'm still looking.
