The Atkins diet goes over well in North America because the standard North American diet just happens to be rich on fat, rich on protein, and short on carbs : Going on the Atkins diet is basically saying "Eat what you eat, just be cognizant of it".
Did you even read the article? Yea, I know, 9 pages, too much, but you could simply realize that the above is false blatantly false. There are tons of carbs in the American diet, and the increase in carbs since the 80s correlates with the increase in obesity, even though fat intake has decreased.
You can't have violence when no one is left alive. Guess what, we haven't been violent recently. That didn't work. A terrorist is less likely to preform acts in the future when faced with the very real possiblity of themselves, their family, and their entire country to be destroyed.
War is war. War means killing civillians. Period.
We have been in war before.
We have won before.
Innocent people have died, but we won.
Got me, your right, but since Valve absorbed Team Fortress Software, the people of the entity that is Valve have produced the origional TF game (only one which supports Linux), HL, Opposing Forces and even though TFC is still technically an addon, the gameplay is radically different and it includes lots of different maps, models, etc. So yes, HL is still the only technically market released game which includes everything that is necessary to play the game inside the pack, the people of the company of Valve have created several VERY popular game addons and one INSANLEY popular game.
What has been really disturbing is that while the production of Linux ports of other FPSs have skyrocketed as of late (esp. in announcements of linux support for yet to be released games), Valve, the maker of some of the best games out there and the most popular (number of player wise) game on the net, continually refuses to release a Linux port because they don't see it as economically viable. I really don't see what the big deal is. Just get Loki to do it for you and if the product flops (doubtful that it would), isn't it Loki that takes the majority of financial losses? I KNOW that there are a good number of people who continue to play TF for q1/qw because there is no Linux support for TFC/halflife (WINE doesn't count, HL in WINE works pretty poorley). Unfortunatley, it doesn't seem like this trend is changing, they only mentioned recently that they most probably would not be doing a TF2 port. On the other hand, TRIBES 2 will have a Linux port, and if I have to choose between buying TF2 and booting up in windows to use it or buying Tribes 2 and staying in Linux, well, i'm sure you know what I would do.
No, thats just a windowfied look, it's kinda hard to tell if you haven't been using it in a while. Look at the fonts and the buttons, that's just windowfied. Not windows.
The more we learn about the universe, the greater God's act of creation becomes. To believe soley in the text of the Bible as the only true truth and to not interpret the meaning behind it is naieve. But we can keep on explaining the universe, but eventually you reach the point where either it all came from nothing, or that there is some higher power that has always existed. Correct me if I'm wrong but right now, current scientific theory is: a 10th dimensional universe broke apart into a 6th dimensional universe (which was unstable and broke into 2 3-dimensional universes) and a 4th dimensional universe (our universe). At that point, our universe was an infinite amount of matter and mass put into something between the size of a baseball and basketball, which exploded (the Big Bang) and formed galaxies, including ours the milky way, which formed stars and planets and such. Of course, this 10-th dimensional universe didn't come from nothing, it exists in some "multiverse" where other universes (up to 24th dimensional) exist. So God taylored the existance of the multiverse so that all of this would happen (since we know that very few things in this universe are ACTUALLY random, and they have little effect on the outcome of things). And this seems a little more likely than all this happened "just cause".
If they just try and tax Internet transactions, then the Internet will just have 99% of the transaction and then the last 1% would be over phone lines. Say go to internet companies site, get the info for the product, realize what options you wanted, then call them and order it. Or on e-bay, you could have the auction, then technically make the verbal agreement for the sale over the phone. It also brings up more issues, like who is going to collect it? Must be federal government (it is interstate transit). To signle out the Internet while leaving all other interstate commerce untaxed would make no sense. But imagine for a moment, the full extent of taxing all interstate commerce. Companies move to Canada, sell the products to US citizens for most products of a decent price (where the increased S&H would be less than the tax). Net effect: loss in American jobs to Canada, buisnesses in U.S. suffer, minimal increase in tax funding. I doubt the republicans would let it go through. (Duties are possible, but that is so isolationalist, it would be as smart as blowing off your dick with a draino bomb).

Hey CockMeister, remember Rambus, Unocal, etc.?
How bout you shut the fuck up.

Jim Clark cuts off nose to spite face.
Yes, because it is obviously better to look at the consequences of our actions when it is too late.

JC has said before that he wants to release the source code, but can't until all licenced games based on it are released. (*COUGH* DAIKTANA *COUGH*)
