He was probably thinking of the bacterial stuff: cholera, typhoid fever, dysentery, etc. And then there's the parasites. "Disease" can be a vague term.
Water-borne diseases are a HUGE problem in the third world. Seriously, they have *fatal* diarrhea, and I'm not saying that to be funny.
Linking to someone else's opinion does not support yours.:-\ I don't know who wrote that CNN blur or blog or whatever it is, but they are just as misinformed as you.
The $150 million was a SETTLEMENT for stuff that MS stole from Quicktime (and having developed SW in both Mac OS and Windows, I can attest to that... many of the data structures were just copied lock, stock and barrel from Quicktime) . And Apple did have BILLIONS in cash on hand at the time.
idea that Apple would ditch its own OS for Microsoft Windows came to me from Yakov Epstein, a professor of psychology at Rutgers University...
Oh, well, color *me* convinced!:-\
What we really need to a Windows compatability layer. You install a Windows app on a Mac OS X Intel box, and it just runs. Maybe even in Windows style windows. That's my prediction, and one of the hidden reasons, IMHO, that Apple switched to Intel uPs.
"The Savage Sword Of Conan" comics did a pretty good job, IMHO. Conan was often depicted as an accomplished military strategist and generally the one in a group who used common sense and critical thinking. He made allies easier than he made enemies. The series even took him to the point where he became king of his own land. And Conan was tough clearly because he was a Cimmerian, and the many reference to Cimmeria were laced with fear and a "you do not fuck with the Cimmerians" mood.
I keep a bowl of various (e.g. dark, 50% cocao, flavoured: raspberry, orange, &c.)chocolates in my living room. I serve wine with dinner (and I make that dinner high-quality, and a bit fancy). I'll often throw in a massage, with scented oils.
You are on the right track, young padiwan. Now you must get another person involved.
...is that the post office has started beating the crap out of my Netflix envelopes. Anyone else seeing this? I had one arrive as just the paper flap with a sticker saying"this is all we received" put on by the post office.
I had to report it missing, and emailed Netflix a scan of the flap in the hopes they might look into it. All I can figure is maybe a disgruntled Netflix customer at the local P.O. Hey, whoever you are, it's not my fault. Leave my DVDs alone.:(
I hear ya on the amine.:) I no longer care that DirecTV refuses to get Anime Network. I even rent the ones Cartoon Network shows if I like the first episode and get through them long before the CN run finishes.
A GTA style RPG is what I'm after, too. Kind of how the last two Zelda games had lots of little nooks and crannies to go and find stuff. Maybe Grand Theft Auto - Hyrule?;-) I like exploring the back alleys and hidden canyons of well designed game worlds.
The wonderful thing about GTA3 and onward is that in addition to a good game, the game world is a fun *toy* to just mess about with. I got obsessed in GTA-SA with capturing gang turf. There was dozens of ways to pick a fight with rival gangs and execute the assault (landing a helicopter on some homies was a good one).
I just don't like the normal usage because, as another responder implied, it has a sort of built in excuse for stupid behavior that should not be acceptable at that age.
...stop calling a 24 year old a kid? I have a friend who insists on calling anyone 10 years younger than him a kid, so at this point 30 years olds are "kids." Fuck, that's annoying.
You lose the luxury of being considered "just a kid" at age 18. Period.
So we make wooden toothbrushes.:) And make more things from wood. It's an excuse to plant more trees, wood looks and feels nicer and it biodegrades a tad better than plastic. Can also make common things like that from ceramics and other materials. Heck, I *hate* plastic bathroom/kitchen stuff. Wood, ceramic or glass for me, please.

Geez, I want your job. My hour after waking is basically, "Oh, shit, I have to go get myself in order and go to my fucking job. :(
Unless it's the weekend, when I just don't bother waking up.
Haven't people "discovered" this every few years for the past century or so? I'm pretty sure the Surrealists explored this territory.
Isn't that generally considered data noise, especially when dealing with organic systems?
If you can't tell the difference between the two links, then there's no point to further discussion.

Maybe it can generate its own power then.

Does everyone walk around thinking they are head of CTU - Los Angeles, and need constant data dumps on developing situations?

And there's really no need for the snarky lazy comments. Just because someone likes Netflix has no connection to their level of laziness.
I already have a DVR and a DVD player and all that other stuff. I just want the best games possible in a console.

Because 18 is the legal date. If a person can't deal with being treated (and held accountable) as an adult at 18, that's *their* problem.
Dead or alive! :)
Spanish a plus.
How about Klingon?

Normally I frown on the "obligatory" type jokes, but "Floating Blimp Overlords" does have kind of a nice ring to it. :)
Well, we (the rest of the world) let them think that. ;-)
Oh, that's right. I a total cynic. That's why. Never mind.
