That being said, isn't anyone on that side of the aisle worried about Dean? I find him to be the easiest Democrat to beat in the fall of 2004. This guy can be turned directly into the scion of leftist antiwar evil with a few carefully placed TV ads. The reason why he has survived till now is that he is running in a Democrat primary audience - a very leftist group to start with. His credentials and arguments play well there. Put him in a general electoral audience and watch how fast he gets bashed.
He may seem easy to beat now, but remember the 92 election? If you get a Perot-like 3rd candidate, or if the job market doesn't improve by the election, the country may be willing to elect Howdy Doodie before voting for Bush again.
Rush is a hard band to categorize, mainly because they change styles every few albums. "Progressive Rock" can be applied to some of their albums, esp late 70s - early 80s era, but it doesn't apply to all.
The base issued a press release claiming they captured a downed saucer, and the next day they said, "no, it's a weather balloon". This is fact.
The "Roswell Incident" happened, the question is was it Alien craft or secret balloon?. If these logs don't mention the event, then the logs are worthless, the lack of unusual activity in the logs doesn't prove anything, because the fact is there was something unusual enough to cause the base to put out a press release.
The reason people have a problem, amazing that you haven't deduced this yet, is that the US is acting without any agreement in the international community. The US is jumping the gun on inspections that should hae been finished. In short, the US is acting on its own accord, citing incredibly shaky terrorist evidence.
That's because a Security Council agreement on this matter is impossible. It was impossible in 98, and Clinton knew it then, and it's impossible today. To call for more inspections without backing them by threat of force is just a charade so that you can claim you've done something. Iraq has been playing these games for 12 years, what good would a few more months do?
how much time was devoted to the connection between bush, and enron? hours, maybe days.
Maybe because it doesn't just have much merit, and is only trumped up by the left. There were many Clinton scandals that were trumped up by the right during the Clinton years, that the media pretty much ignored, for the same reasons, Troopergate, "Mysterious Circumstances" around Vince Foster's death. Drug running at the Mena airport, etc.
clinton cheated on his wife, then enron scandal cost many many people any hope of retiring, ever
So what does it have to do with Bush? He took contributions from Enron, then failed to bail them out. Could you imagine the uproar if he did bail them out after taking contributions?
I don't know if it's an urban legend, but I've been told that the term "debug" actually came from the fact that they needed to periodically go in and clear the bugs and cobwebs out of the first computers, to get them working again (remember these things used thousands of vacuum tubes and took up whole rooms)
The fee would only be for extensions of the original copyright.
The problem right now is Disney got the copyright extended of not just "Steamboat Willy", but everything else created during that time frame, despite the fact that copyright holders don't have commercial interest in most of it. This means that it cannot legally be preserved by third parties, and things may be lost forever.
If Disney had the right to just extend the copyright on their own property, people wouldn't be up in arms over all of this.
Check out directfb, which seems to be similar to Berlin, but also seems to progress at a faster pace. It too features alpha transparancy, and can run apps such as Gimp:
I was thinking of buying Heretic II for Linux, now I will definately buy it, and probably
a couple other games from Loki.
I own Railroad Tycoon II already, I guess the reason I don't own more is because I try to avoid
games that are highly addicting, and make you waste hours and hours playing them, and that seems
to be mostly the kinds of games that Loki has ported;-)
Once a week they tell the hundred radio companies which bands they think are going to be popular next week. They are usually right.
And the reason they are right is because the hundreds of Program Directors for these radio stations listen to them and add these artists, so it's a self-fulfilling prediction.
This will change if radio ceases to be the primary means of promoting artists
But if the Internet were to replace radio, you'd still see a similar situation because the artists have to eat, and the promoters need money to promote, etc. Artists running MP3 sites just won't cut it.
Unlike most PC components, whose prices tend to go down, down, down, RAM has tended to fluctuate quite a bit. There may be various reasons for this, all based on supply and demand.
Around 1988, for instance, an embargo caused memory prices to triple in a short time. There have been a couple of times in the nineties where the price has spiked. The often-repeated story was that there was a memory plant fire or explosion. I don't know how true that was.
Actors are routinely given scripts ahead of time before they decide to take on a role. I assume that Sir Alec was afforded the same. Being sixty-something at the time, he certainly can't claim the "young and naive" defense.
He is right about the lines, I cringe after hearing Vader/Emperor utter "turn to the dark side/it is your destiny" over and over and over and over....
However Star Wars is still enjoyable, and I'm sorry that he's come to hate it.
There's no absolute proof that they are using a Transmeta CPU. There's also no proof that Transmeta is even making CPUs, so therefore it must be true!
Seriously I had read an account that a presentation that Amiga was giving used the name "Transmeta" in it. The people giving the presentation would not comment on it.
Afterall if piracy killed industries then there would be no computer games industry
It may not have killed the PC game industry, but it at least contributed to the death of other less popular platforms, Atari comes to mind.
In the same way, music won't hurt the wildly popular artists and groups, (Britney Spears, Spice Girls, Ricky Martin, etc.) you know, the ones that you can't stand.
It WILL hurt the ones who are much less popular, that don't have mass-market appeal, the ones who live from album to album. In other words, the ones that you probably like.
I like GIFs, mainly because of the transparency feature. I use tools like xv, gifsicle, and giftrans to create them. Are any of these tools in violation of the Unisys patent?

If "nothing unusual" happened, then why were the documents classified for over 50 years?
Does this act differ that much from people in the US donating money at Sinn Fein fund-raisers while the IRA were busy bombing London?
Not to justify this in any way, but it's quite different from the government of the country doing it
That's because a Security Council agreement on this matter is impossible. It was impossible in 98, and Clinton knew it then, and it's impossible today.

So they'll be able to track you, not only will they know where you go, who you're with, but they'll know when you violate good fashion sense.
I think the deal is $1 billion over 20 years. That would be the same as you giving $50/year to a charity.
And the reason they are right is because the hundreds of Program Directors for these radio stations listen to them and add these artists, so it's a self-fulfilling prediction.

Starr said that if your GIFs are created with a licensed program, AND Unisys routinely gives out license free to non-profits.
Why can't the authors/maintainers of Open Source GIF creation software, and especially libraries such as libgif, apply for a free license?
Wouldn't that fix the problem?
How about an Apache module that converts them on the fly if it detects anyone coming from the unisys.com ;-)

Sure they could do it, but who would actually want to use it?
He also fasted the whole time. Please get your facts straight before posting these stories! ;-)
