    We don't have to make the UN look bad, it is bad and while it is not a "nation" they would sure like to hand down some regulations to the member states. They would like nothing better than to infringe on any nations sovereignty. They are bad bad bad.

    You must have smoked some crack before posting. My wife switched from Windows to OS X and has had zero problems using it. I tried to get her to use Linux and it was one question after another. OS X just works but Linux you really *have* to know what is going on.

    Science and Religion do not have to be mutually exclusive. Many of the greatest scientist were and are religious in one sense or another. The fact is you cannot stand that "evolution" has serious holes that cannot be explained at all and when people point out that the "emporer has no clothes" you attack.

  5. More [lunar] light on the subject on No More Lunar Land for Sale · · Score: 2, Funny

    Greetings from the Lunar Embassy and the Galactic Government: Thank you for the interest in our program. My name is Dennis M. Hope. I am the founder of the Lunar Embassy and the holder of the claim of ownership for the lands we sell. In 1980 I filed a claim of ownership with the United Nations, the USA and the former USSR. The claim was for the Moon of Earth and the other eight planets and their moons. The reason I filed with the United Nations, is that the UN is the only organization on this planet that was recognized as having the authority to create laws for deep space. The USA and USSR were noticed as a courtesy only. After all they were the world powers at the time. In 1967 the General Assembly of the United Nations created the "Outer Space Treaty." In article two of that treaty it states, "No nation by appropriation shall have sovereignty or control over any of the satellite bodies." Without sovereignty they cannot effectively create or enforce laws and without control they can do nothing else. In the "Outer Space Treaty," there is no mention of individuals. When researching the possibilities of claiming land on other planets I turned to the laws restricting private property claims on Earth. I found that in more than 123 countries on Earth there is a process in place where by citizens may claim ownership to un-owned lands. According to both civil and common law societies the precept of law is in place and fully recognized for private property claims. The problem exists that through all the countries that recognize these claims there are no standard rules for the claims. Since there were no clear formatted rules for the claim I used the acceptance of the precept of law. With the filing of these claims in 1980, to the governments I sent a letter stating my intent was to subdivide and sell these lands to anyone interested in purchasing them and if they (the governments) had a legal problem with that to let me know. Now twenty-five years later I am still waiting to hear from them. From 1980 to 1996 the sales of celestial properties was very slow. I sold approximately 3,500 separate properties. Since 1996 when we built our first facility to house the business we have done remarkably well. We currently have 3.2 million property owners in 180 countries on this planet. The list includes two former Presidents of the United States of America and the current President of the United States. We have politicians from many countries as property owners as well as USA astronauts, Russian Cosmonauts, Chinese astronauts, attorney's, doctors, educators, members of royal families in 6 countries, 453 celebrities like; George Lucas, Ron Howard, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise Nicole Kidman, Harrison Ford, John Travolta, Barbara Walters, Queen Latifa, Carrie Fisher of Star Wars, Meg Ryan, Clint Eastwood, and many more. Our demographics run the entire continuum. In 1998 the Lunar Embassy had penetrated the Internet as well as we could and sales were good but we knew there was another avenue to increase those sales. I started a reselling program. The first level of reselling was for those individuals that wanted to have the right to sell my property in their country but did not want to pursue this full time. We currently have 27 reselling agents. Then for those individuals or companies that wanted to treat this as something special and important I created the Ambassadorship. In this program the Ambassador would be an exclusive reseller for an entire country. They would through our licensing agreement be able to create their own reselling agents within their territory. Currently the Embassy has Ambassadorships representing 15 countries. Both the Authorized Reseller and the Ambassadors require fee based licensing agreements. In 2001, at a press conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, I gave notice to all governments on Earth that the Lunar Embassy in accordance with its more than 1 million property owners at the time were forming their own government. The Galactic Government was born. In March of 2004, we pres

    No, you are just wrong to have that habit. That "X" is the one that closes the application and that should NOT change. Most people have that habit because they are trying to close the APPLICATION WINDOW and not the current TAB within the application. I have heard of no one having this issue.

    There is an "x" on the bar that the tabs are on that closes the current tab. Use it. That is what it is there for.
