If I saw you in person I would probably slap you. The people that serve our country in military service almost always so such because they value the freedom in our country and our democratic government. They are willing to risk their own lives for the preservation and benefit of their country, not themselves but their fellow man. Now I'm not saying we should celebrate the actions the military has taken, I for one am against our actions involving Iraq, but we should celebrate the soldiers. The soldiers don't get to choose their orders, and when we really need an army we are going to be screwed if they aren't supported and/or don't have good moral.
I have to agree with the GP one the reasons an average person takes up military service. However you have to realize once you join you don't get to pick what orders you get to obey. So even though the soldiers joined for great reasons the orders they have been given are less then great and, as I said before, you can't pick and choose orders.
Actually Nintendo independently developed a different method for the vibration that was significantly different (I think it had something to do with two separate motors and how the engines worked). Notice how the Gamecube controllers "rumble" without an addition.
Sony is just about the only major remaining holdout in the gaming industry.
Just a quick caveat, in the gaming industry only Microsoft licences the patient, as Nintendo independently developed their own rumble technology that is significantly different.
Where besides input devices has vibration been used for feedback? The only vibration as feedback I can think of is in engines when you do something wrong (and that isn't a feature, but merely how the engine works).
Notice that fragment also has no mention of the messiah. The only reason one might associate it with the messiah is because of Christianity associating the son of God with the messiah. It also lacks the other common Jewish expressions such as prince, son of David, or branch/shoot that are used when talking of the messiah. Also "son of god" is not uncommon in Jewish writings, but it is uncommon anywhere near mentions of the messiah. Also I am confused by Bar-El, I am failing to find that in my Hebrew dictionary, and have not encountered it besides as a surname, do you know the Hebrew spelling, or could you point to a source with the word along with the root of the word (the number used in Strong's Hebrew and Greek Dictionaries would work too, if it has one)?
He said the Islamic world. The Christian world has demonstrated these traits. Christian fundamentalists like to pretend they aren't in Christian countries and are a persecuted minority. Unfortunately neither of these things are claimed for Islamic fundamentalists, they know they are in Islamic states and the only persecution they complain about is from the West (or sometimes a Jewish conspiracy, but I think that counts as coming from the West).
I would have to disagree with this. Jesus's teachings went beyond the messiah prophesied by Isiah, and he did start a new religion (you know those stories about new wine and old wine skins, and you know that whole this third cup is a new cup now thing).
rest of the Jews decided that he was just another prophet and the true son of God hadn't come yet.
This is very telling. One of the main reasons that Jesus was dismissed by many as the messiah is because of his claim to be the son of God. The prophesies of the messiah say nothing about it being God's son. The jews are waiting for the messiah, not for God's son.
Christianity traces its roots to before Christ, just as Islam traces its roots to a time before Mohammed.
Christianity traces its roots to Christ. Before Christ it is judaism, and it is not Christian history but Jewish history. Now Jewish history is important to Christianity, but labeling it as christian roots is a bit like labeling British history as American roots (which while is important to America there are many more influences then just the British).
On my college campus I see a lot of AIM installations. I have also seen quite a few Trillian, iChat, and gAIM (and have converted a couple people to gAIM after they complained about movies ads automatically playing in AIM) but AIM is still by far the client used most often.
For some basics:http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_intr .html I just got back out from my first night of spring break, so I doubt I will be much help or be posting much in the next week. Sorry.
That's what we call a literalist interpitation of the constitution, and contemporaty literalism at that. I know very few people studied in political theory that use that interptation, especially since the world has changed so much and we are not nearly as isolated as we used to be. Historical literal interpitation, democratic interpitation, original intent interpitation, and modernist interpitation will probably all disagree with your interpitation.
Actually I agree with him. Look at what he said more carefully "the fact that they are an enemy on our soil posing a clear threat to the public safety"[emphasis mine] compared with "The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it."[emphasis mine]. Remember our founding fathers did not think they were creating the perfect government, and that we don't have the perfect government. But they created something they thought would get the job done, and would be eventually accountable to its misdeeds (which I think our government will eventually be accountable for wrong-doing by this administration, but maybe not before this administration has reached the end of their lives).
Wow. I did not realize there were so incredibly wrong stereotypes of Westerners. I really hope that jumbled mess is supposed to be sarcastic or it is a failed joke.
Even without the eye-candy XP needs more RAM. I have an old laptop (133 MHz Pentium) that I dual boot Win98se and Damn Small Linux (frugal installed), and I am confident it could never run XP. I'm sure if I had enough RAM and a big enough hard drive I could get it installed and boot (I've seen people boot XP on 486 systems) but that would require more RAM, and a bigger harddrive (even stripped down, unless they somehow made it terminal only or made a new GUI). And as for new stuff over Windows 95, the plug and play has been vastly improved with new/more devices, the RAM management is a hell of a lot better (you can actually leave systems on for over 2 days, unlike my Win 95-98 experiances), there are more network tools (like listing the connections and allowing repairs without restarts), there are fewer updates requiring restarts, and the built in firewall thing is pretty handy. Oh, and as for the current version of Linux, the more recent kernals have started to drop a lot of older hardware, this is why DeLi and DSL both use older kernals (so while you may be able to boot the newest kernal, that doesn't mean it is the best, just like how just because you may be able to boot XP it may be best to stick with Win98).
Yes there are. It used to be a lot more common when the deaf and the mute were not well accommodated in American education systems, but I would put money that there are still a good number. Especially in other countries. ASL is used in many places besides North America, such as the Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong, Haiti, The Ivory Coast, Ghana, Congo, Kenya, Madagascar, and Zimbabwe
Screw the doctors. Last hospital I was in I had to turn off my cell phone (not silence, but full turn off). If I can't use a cell phone when I go to their building why should they be able to use their cell phones when they enter my building?
Seeing as High fidelity was a marketing term used for things such as FM radio receivers. Wikipedia notes both MP3 and the iPod under their article on Hi-fi. Nowadays, hi-fi equipment usually includes signal sources such as CD players and Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) tuners, an amplifier, and loudspeakers. Some modern hi-fi equipment can be digitally connected using fiber optic and TOSLINK cables and can have univeral serial bus (USB) ports and wireless fidelity (WiFi) support. One modern component that is making fast gains in acceptance is the music server consisting of one or more computer hard drives that holds music in the form of computer files such as MP3s. Increasingly, audiophiles are connecting portable versions of music servers like Apple's iPods to their systems for relatively quick and easy access to thousands of songs.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi-fi
I would like to note that the iPod Hi-Fi also contians a mini-TOSLINK input too.
You know there are things called losses formats right? Not just loss-less compression, but flat out no compression. There are also music people who use iPods for transferring (and listening to) music they are working on. I know a few people who listen to what they have already recorded when moving to a different studio location, or listen to the raw cut on their way to taking it to the person mastering and mixing.
I think this would be protected if it was parody, but since it is not I don't think just labeling it was fiction gives a get out of jail free card. I used the same plot of another play but changed names and change lines of dialoges I think I could still be in trouble if enought of it was the same, and I think rightly so. Now if Dan Brown mention the other book as a resource or inspiration somewhere in the Forward or something then I think he should be fine, but otherwise I think he needs to give credit where credit is due.

Bad analogy. This is more like cutting your VCR from one show. Your VCR works for everything else, but has just been banned from one service.

Jesus didn't really create Christianity

It is portable. Notice the battery compartment on the back.
sub-CD quality songs
You know there are things called losses formats right? Not just loss-less compression, but flat out no compression.

I know a few people who listen to what they have already recorded when moving to a different studio location, or listen to the raw cut on their way to taking it to the person mastering and mixing.
Apple has no game experiance
What about that Pippen at-mark fiasco?
