Glad to see another Rio Karma fan. Built-in webserver, excellent interface, better sound quality than anything else on the market, and about $100 cheaper than the iPod. Oh, and it has true gapless playback across albums, which for me was the big seller.
I can't understand why any intelligent and well-informed person would buy an iPod instead of the Karma, unless they simply want to broadcast their metrosexuality to the world.
Glove design for EVA suits was/is one of the toughest challenges NASA and the Russian space program had to face. It's not "weird technology," it's one of the more crucial parts of an EVA suit. There's an excellent exhibit in the new National Air and Space Museum extension that illustrates the different designs and challenges that engineers went through.
Whenever I see the latest issue of [i]Wired,[/i] I always imagine a bunch of clueless 40-something marketing experts-turned-editors, gathering in Wired's editorial office, deperately trying to decide which two-year-old "emerging trend" to parade next (and get completely wrong).
It's like the middle-aged uncle who tries to impress everyone with his eternal youth at the 2005 family reunion by showing off his new iPod.
The 2nd Amendment is not just about protecting yourself from government. It's also about having the freedom to protect yourself from harm. If you are entirely dependent on the government to protect yourself from physical harm, you aren't really free.
Then why didn't the IDF reveal the full text and findings of its investigation? Sorry, but construction equipment is usually designed so that the operator can see where he or she is going and what he or she is doing. Your apologetic excuse makes zero sense.
The original post - the one you apparently didn't read - claimed that the stated goal of US foreign policy is to open markets and promote free trade. I disputed this, as this has not been the primary stated goal, at least not in this or the previous century.
Been there. Chiapas, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama. That's why I said on the whole. I've also been to Europe, Japan, sub-Saharan Africa, and elsewhere. I stand by my statement.
But I suppose your're one of those people who's decided that if US policy isn't altruistic and perfect 100% of the time, then the US is an evil empire (but looking the other way while China, for example, bribes Robert Mugabe with free construction and gifts).
The US did not oppose Communism ideologically, it opposed the closing of markets that it inexorably produced against capitalist goods. It has never been for democracy.
Nice ivory-tower revisionism there - might make for some amusing thesis papers, but it has zero basis in reality. Do you really think the US fought in Vietnam because of the immense value of US-Vietnamese trade? Do you even bother considering the logical conclusions of your theories? Any serious analysis of 20th century American politics will show that ideology was a huge force in shaping policy. I lived it; did you?
Hint: just because it's printed on a badly-photocopied flyer and strewn all over the streets following a protest rally, doesn't mean it's true.
Put down the bong and pick up a history book, son. The stated goal of the United States during the Cold War included very little about free trade and open markets. But of course, it's not hip these days to acknowledge that, on the whole, the US is a force for human rights, economic progress, and democratization.
The original poster never claimed that all democracy and freedom is the result of "American military aggression," nor even of American policiy in general. But don't let that get in the way of yet another exciting opportunity to parade your reflexive and ignorant hate of the US.
One thing that bugs me about discussions regarding MP3-enabled devices is that few reviewers discuss sounds quality. For the most part, sound quality is adequate if you use cheap earbuds, but if you're an audiophile and use something better, this is something you'd care about.
One of the main reasons I bought a Rio Karma as opposed to an iPod or something else was the high-quality sound board. Something tells me that a PDA that just happens to have a headphone jack and an MP3 decoder isn't going to have high sound quality as one of its selling points (although the HP Jornada 560 series actually excelled at this compared to toher PDAs). Until I can find an all-in-one PDA with decent sound, I'll be toting multiple devices.
1) Future Guy is a Vulcan who wants to retroactively eliminate the Federation because he belives it contaminated Vulcan culture and prevented reunification.
2) Daniels is a "descendant" of Data, although far more human-like.
3) The Xindi die off before the era of Kirk. They cannot resolve their post-Sphere Builder differences and war unto extinction.
4) The USS Archer, as alluded to in "Star Trek: Nemesis," is an unarmed garbage scow.
I have no sources to support this; I'm just filling a void. It's true because I say it is.

Thanks... but you might want to look up the definition of "oxymoron."
What, exactly, is "biomedicine?" Isn't that kind of like "technocomputers" or "kleptorepublicans?"
Or is it just a way for plain ol' medicine to sound cooler and get more research grants?
Or it's like saying that a propeller-driven EP-3 flew into an advanced jet fighter.
... this article should be titled "Getting an HWND on Windows Vista."

How easily the troll is trolled! See, this is why I love Slashdot - plenty of hair-triggered harebrained hotheads to mess with.
Communist Troll: "What the US did to the USSR with Reagan's fake Star Wars, they are doing to you."
Skeptic: "Oh - so you're finally conceding that Reagan did, in fact, win the Cold War?"
Communist Troll: "Huh? Wha- no, I- it's not like that, you see, I- um... "
So... you're going to surrender your firearms on your 45th birthday, then?

Fair enough - which well-regulated militia have you joined?
... is that the database is running on MS SQL Server 2000.
When you can get eth0 to lie, it's all over.
I think I just found my new sig.
On top of that perhaps you need to question who she was staying with...they were 'questionable' at best.
So, what then - she had it coming because of whom she was associating with? There's Israeli justice for you.
Then why didn't the IDF reveal the full text and findings of its investigation? Sorry, but construction equipment is usually designed so that the operator can see where he or she is going and what he or she is doing. Your apologetic excuse makes zero sense.

Try and keep up, won't you? Thanks so much.

Shhh! The America-basers don't like it when solid analysis and facts interrupt their little party.

Ask the people who spent countless hours designing the Ferrari if this constitutes theft.
