Not so, countered Rep. Mel Watt (D-N.C.), one of the sponsors of the 4-year bill.
Of course the Democrats are always our heroes on Slashdot, since they selflessly swoop in and save the day from those eeeEEEvil Republicans. Isn't it just wicked cool that on Slashdot Democrats never say or do anywhing wrong?
Wesley Crusher: Wait! We only need to realize that the sort of atomic structures that generate power when bombarded with high energy electrons are the sort that tend to fall apart when bombarded with high energy electrons.
Mr. LaForge: That.... could.... destabilize the aliens death ray....!
All threads I've read on discussing a live RT movie on other sites follow the same pattern. I predict that this thread on/. will be no different:
1. "They'll (Hollywood) will mess it up!"
2. So and so should play Rick Hunter, and So and so (Owen Wilson) should play Roy Fokker, etc.
3. I want to see a trailer!
4. I'm afraid that it's not going to follow timeline X, which I deduced from an obscure comic book or novel!
5. I hate the idea of a live action RT! (but I'll have to go see it anyway, since my favorite geeky 80s cartoon hasn't gotten any other love in the last 20 or so years)
Sometimes individuals fall into all five categories at once. Hilarious to watch.
The last I heard was that it's all Bush's fault that the moon only has one side facing the earth at all times! It of course has to somehow be connected to invading other countries and taking their oil, and it increases Global Warming(TM). Therefore, it must be connected to the destruction of Air America, and makes kids go hungry and causes hurricanes in the Atlantic. It is a well known fact that the moon's behavior also increases racism. Those NeoCons are at it again!
Just great.... Now the evolutionists are going to build a whole skeleton out of something even less than a single tooth this time. Now it's just a tooth-print. *sigh*
Great. Now when that current thingy goes up one degree in the summer, the Global Warming(tm) proponents are going to howl fire n' brimstone, when it's probably just the summer heat.
Mod me down baby, waste away those mod points
I see you also have realized that not going with the status quo here at/. gets you modded down. I believe one can only hope to be a/. moderator if he/she:
1. Keeps their mouth shut about Global Warming(tm) or post supportive comments.
2. Makes only nice posts about the Democratic Party(tm). (capitalized for the same reasons you mention above)
3. Throws in a few swipes at Bush or Republicans for good measure.
I once had mod points, but then began to speak my mind on Global Warming(tm). Watched those points grow little wings and fly away.
The article's assertion that there's a propaganda machine working on behalf of global warming theorists is outside the bounds of the data, which I think is interesting to note.
The rule of law here is:
1. If manmade global warming naysayers are at fault, it's a conspiracy. Root them out!
2. If manmade global warming proponents are at fault, then it's all an honest misunderstanding. Watch "Inconvenient Truth" again. Repeat.
I can hear the predictable unending cries now.....
"But.... but..... manmade global warming must be happening! We can't let those nasty facts get in our way, boy! After all, we've got Al Gore's worldview to prop up!"
Of course such an immensely complex and magnificent entity (the human brain) came about purely by accident; something which scientists cannot even hope to even copy and reproduce on purpose.

Congratulations.
You've just proven that it takes intelligence and a lot of hard work to create life.
Mr. LaForge: We're trapped by the aliens!
Wesley Crusher: Wait! We only need to realize that the sort of atomic structures that generate power when bombarded with high energy electrons are the sort that tend to fall apart when bombarded with high energy electrons.
Mr. LaForge: That.... could.... destabilize the aliens death ray....!
Wesley: Yeah, just like in the academy.
Picard: Make it so.
I wanted to type this message. Impressed?
No, the bigger issue is, how much will the sharks wearing them consume?

I think that Bobcat Goldthwaite should be Rick Hunter, and Roseanne Arnold should play Minmei.
It's Cosmo DNA! (From Star Blazers!)
Don't have to take that trip to Iscandar anymore.
ID Proponents will feel more validated after this event happens; not less.
If scientific intelligence creates life in a lab, such a breakthrough of course won't show that life came about on its own without an intelligence.
Indiana Jones: Dad, Professional Sumerologists still can't render half of the agglutinative morphemes that appear in Sumerian verbs!
Jones Sr.: Indiana, let it go. By the way a big rock is rolling towards us.
Wait justa cotton-pickin minute...

Huh?
Looks like there's no quick witted comment that I could come up with that would outdo whatever it was you just did to yourself in that last post.
Boy, it would be nice if people could get points by bashing the beliefs of non-Christians on this site too.
When the facts don't fit the theory of evolution, maybe it's time to look for new "facts."
There, fixed that for you.

Also, when someone talks about backups, you now will need to clarify whether its the good or bad kind.

On a similar vein, how can a prisoner mail himself out of prison? (This actually happened in April of 2006)

This Java discovery will lead to the following:
1. Java Popups 1.0
2. Java Popups on Struts
3. Java Popups 1.1. (Not compatible with 1.0 or struts, needs a patch to SunOS to work)
4. JPEE. (Java Popups, Enterprise Edition- Not compatible with 1.1)
5. Java Popups for Mobile Devices.
6. Java Popups for Mobile Devices, Enterprise Edition.
HA, and you thought that Java was going to make this easy for Phishers and Advertizers.
Of course such an immensely complex and magnificent entity (the human brain) came about purely by accident; something which scientists cannot even hope to even copy and reproduce on purpose.
Just goes to show you- no matter how good of an employee you are, sometimes the blood that they hand to the angry masses is yours.
We just need to pump more Java into our phones. If the Java apps don't help the market, then it's the programmers' faults.
Since Al Gore's crowd blames the dust storms on Martian global warming, (and not the Sun) the rovers should have nothing to fear in this arena.
