I think it could be dangerous to remove such a large part of Earth's mass and put it on Mars. Who knows how astronomical orbits will change after such great changes in gravitational relations?
Yes, petroleum spills by people cause temporary and localized deaths of organisms and disruption of ecosystems, but they just aren't that big a deal in the overall scheme of things.
Oh yes they are. They visibly affect cute furry and feathered animals. Anything that makes cute animals suffer is A Big Deal. They're the biggest source of income for organisations making a good living on media coverage like Greenpeace.

I can't believe that people actually can stand using systems that work in any other way. Using AmigaOS daily, I cringe when I'm on my LinWin dual boot x86 box.
On the Amiga, I can put a drawer (directory) with an app and its files anywhere I bloody well like.
Another of the fantastic things with Amiga OS is the wonderful ASSIGN command. For example, system wide libraries are put in the assign called LIBS:, and in a default Amiga OS installation that resides in WhateverYouWantToCallYourSystemPartition:Libs (or SYS:Libs - SYS: being another very useful assign). If I don't want to clutter the system Libs drawer with third party libraries, I simply use "ASSIGN Libs: Path:To/Funky/App's/New/Library/Drawer ADD DEFER", where ADD means I add the new drawer to the old Libs: assign, and DEFER means that the assign won't be used (included in the Libs: search path) unless something asks for it. I can e.g. add a Libs: assign to an FTP or a Samba mounted drive.
A perfect combination of user-friendliness and the power of detailed control for those who want it.
Thanks for reminding me. If I ever get children (horrible thought!) and grandchildren, I'll put a clause in my will forcing them to pass on my C-64's and Amigas to future generations.
I congratulate you on your accurate observation. Furthermore, the Sun does not rotate around the Earth, humans walk upright on their hind legs and you will burn your hand if you pour petrol on it and set it on fire.
However, you were talking about what Amiga Inc. had to do with "the original Amiga".
Uh, that's my point. The AC I replied to said that AmigaDE on the Nokia Mediaterminal is "bollocks" because it already runs Linux. I said that AmigaDE runs on Linux. Why are you repeating what I said? And who are "we"?
Oh yeah, they only released AmigaOS 3.9, updates to that, own all Amiga IP and started the development of AmigaOS 4 which will run on current PPC-equipped Amigas. That's what they have to do with the original (i.e. obsolete) Amiga. I suppose you think making a new Amiga OS and letting companies develop new Amigas is a bad thing then. Should they wait for Motorola to release the 68080?
What you said is only true for abnormally high values of "zero".
Fear of the unknown (different races, species, tribes...) is a hereditary, evolutional behaviour. Nobody taught us to fear snakes, heights, growling large animals with big pointy teeth, nor did anybody teach us to be attracted to rounded shapes with big eyes (children, puppies...) or the opposite sex. Don't fear biology, learn about it! Since the psychological term "phobia" relates to irrational or excessive fears, we need to be careful of what we label as xenophobia.
This is from the continent that ruins a fantastic idea like the European Union with socialistic, conformistic bureaucracy of hitherto unseen proportions. And yes, I'm a "Yurpeen", a Swede to be moderately precise.
The European Union is a wonderful concept - as long as it's about trade, currency and business. Not when it's about powermongering, detailed control of the citizens' everyday lives and political centralization, dominated by socialistic nepotism.
When someone calls for censorship, they should imagine what it would be like if it was the ones they want to censor who did the censoring! Who defines the crime?

In that case he'd better make sure that this time his pilot knows how to take off and land...

Just because something is advancing doesn't mean its "evolution".
But that is exactly what it means. Not necessarily evolution due to natural selection, but still evolution.

There are mirrors linked from that page. As per the webmasters request I mirrored the files as well:

Oh, that's with AmigaDE preinstalled. If you live in Sweden you can buy one without DE right now.
They're for sale (sans AmigaDE) in Sweden for ~790 USD. NB, that's the non-subsidized price without a cable TV subsrciption.
The Nokia Media Terminal was supposed to be launched in the second quarter of 2001, then by the end of 2001, now... who knows.
According to Amiga Inc's CEO Bill McEwen, "before summer this year".
If that's a troll it's a funny troll.
Moderators, look here.
A quite correct, however redundant observation since it was pointed out in the story.
AmigaDE runs on Linux.
Xenophobia is a natural thing.
It's not. It's a behavior, hence it's learned.
Fear of the unknown (different races, species, tribes...) is a hereditary, evolutional behaviour. Nobody taught us to fear snakes, heights, growling large animals with big pointy teeth, nor did anybody teach us to be attracted to rounded shapes with big eyes (children, puppies...) or the opposite sex.

there is still a role for government (non-Enronized that is) in the 21st century.
Yes, obviously. In this case it's to order equipment and services to be used for oppressing their citizens.
The market (i.e. the Chinese people) is what will liberate China.
