It must be a flexing of military muscles because if there we truely concerned there is a shuttle floating around up there right now that could pick that thing up on the way back down. I understand there is a limited fuel supply and all. But if they seriously thought of this as anything more than a showcase of our big guns they would tell the shuttle to grab it on the next pass.
Grats to the writers on getting what they feel they deserved and kudos to the studios and networks for solving this issue in a swift manner...Oh wait, they didn't. They drug it out and exposed us all to more "reality" television! At least we have some hope of seeing some quality shows return to tv, such as, Heroes, CSI, Family Guy, and my wifes' personal favorite Grey's Anatomy.
I know Strike's are hard and messy and sometimes can be very ugly and violent. So I am honestly happy to see it end.

Not True...the injuries are real. I am personally suffering from some nasty tennis elbow from Wii Sports, and a torn ACL from playing Madden '08. Doctors say I'll be up and running by the '09 season.
I agree completely, I mean NCAA football uses the BCS. What more proof do we need that they have absolutely no idea what they are doing?
Bring on the playoff system...
Because reading a blog that is five minutes behind the real action, is really a great alternative to watching the game live or listening to a play-by-play....I'm sure they are loosing so much business and revenue.
Does anyone else remember a CSI Episode about this exact same thing? I want to say it was Miami, but either way a guy who was sick of aircraft flying over his house, shined a GREEN laser pointer into a cockpit, causing the pilot to become irritated and unable to fly. If I remember correctly the aircraft crashed, and the partridge boy solved the mistery by removing his glasses and talking in a low, "I am hardcore" voice or Grissom found a bug that labeled the exact angle and driection the laser pointer hit the plane.
Regardless, is this another case of someone watching something on TV and getting the bright idea to put it into practice?
You want to implement EUGENICS in the US. Historically this has had some downsides as well, granted yes it can be beneficial in someways, as you have listed, but how do we avoid reimplementing segregation, and genocides in the process. Can you assure that you yourself will be acceptable in the eyes of this new program? There is far too much gray area here for some innocent people to be hurt or worse because they don't fit in.
Basically I disagree...
It all depends on what are are sending in our transmissions. Starting out with a image of an bomb being detonated on a earth city (ie: WWII) , probably isn't going to be the proper, intergalatic "Hello" we are looking for.
Another thought is to maybe send an explaination of all the radio and television signals that have been traveling through space all these years. Some of that has got to send the wrong message.
Good, it's about time they get it...I'm glad Nintendo get the picture finally, maybe now they will realize that Sony and Microsoft got it right by keep a semi-constant stock of their consoles on the shelves from release. Nintendo knew what they were getting into, and they have been in the business far too long to cry ignorance. I can tell you that the supply shortages have personally detered me from even wanting to buy a Wii anymore. Getting one of these things has become more of headache then it's worth. I'll get my wii-mote fix at a friends, then I'll get board and go back to my PS2 (which has better graphics imo), and my next gen console whatever it will be, probably PS3. Sony hasn't steared me wrong yet, personally.
This is a nice idea, and I sincerely hope it's implemented at some point in the near future. I imagine they will use satalite connections to provide the internet, similar to the way that XM Radio is available on AirTran Flights. But what about power? Being able to charge my battery in flight perhaps off a onboard generator would make me happy to pay that $10 fee plus a little more for the service. Especially if it means I can get to my meeting/conference, which a mostly charged battery.
I have never found YouTube to be a key stop on my information gathering process. I'm sorry but watching some idiot talk about electricity and how it works, then having his buddy traser him to demonstrate does really stand out as good science. It looks more like stupidity. All be it funny.

10 minutes into the movie, DISCONNECTED
30 seconds later everyone will recieve a "World Server is Down" message
1 hour later a blue post will appear on the WoW forums stating that "This was inconvient timing, and that everyone with recieve an hour and a half credit to there accounts"
"Resurrect Now?"
I highly doubt alot of the troops have enough time to hack a military firewall, considering according to a guildmate who has occassionally been posting on our guilds' site, they only have about 30-45 minutes online tops at any given time and most of the keys on the keyboards are missing.
Don't burn in troops...let them play when they can! The deserve the R&R.

Looking at the image, immediately reminded me of an episode of SeaQuest. I think it was called the "Stinger."
Verizon Guy: Where is your wizard now? Bitch!

Hooray!!! I can finally get my fix of pedestrian mauling, havoc creating, car stealing, explosion making goodness.
