    ... this picture of Natalie Portman, pure garbage.

    "Science in general. This was a film seen by millions of people - it is probably the first thing most people think about when the subject of asteroids comes up. It's well for Carl Sagan that he was already deceased - the notion that such a movie existed would have killed him. Armaggedon's contemporary, Deep Impact, was more plausible and realistic, if you can get past Elija Wood being a teenager. Alas, it tanked."

    More plausible and realistic, maybe, but it tanked for good reason. That movie was equally as terrible, and I was distraught that Elijah Wood was still alive at the end.

    Seeing how we seem to be losing quite a bit of ice, I would recomend that we immediatly mine Haley's Comet for more

    Red Alert you mean. C&C had the Obelisk (I think it was, can't remember exact name. Regardless, it was a tower that shone a red 'laser' and cooked enemies). Red Alert had Tesla Towers (1 and 2), but 2 had Tesla Troopers as well.

    Take out a seat of government, and destabilise the national treasury, Wall Street (If America), etc. The stock market and economy will collapse, bringing on a great spread of idlemobs and crime, etc. The instability eventually leads to the point where a country crumbles.

    I can honestly say that /my/mount/point is more illogical than D:\. You know where stuff is without it being hidden by linux fluff. And besides, the whole C:\Directory\Sub\Etc affair began with DOS. And sometimes I wish I could go back :(

    There's only a water problem in the sense that there's been little investment in new dams or systems to procure more water. Hell, even flooding a decent part of the inland with the ocean would greatly solve that.
