.. the only reason we dont do this with nuclear waste now is that the cost-to-orbit sucks, but for a reactor on the moon or already in space, most of the cost is absorbed already.
Well, that and the danger of a launch or post-launch-pre-orbit accident a-la Challenger. Acid rain wouldn't compare to what would happen with that stuff coming back down on us.
After all, that's exactly why movies use shady-looking guys as villains, because we all know what that guy looks like.
I agree with you. What interests me is, why do we all "know what that guy looks like" in the first place? My assumption (yeah yeah) is that this is survival programming.
At the same time though, many of us have probably experienced getting acquainted with someone after having had only visual exposure to them for some time (perhaps at work or something), and realizing that our assumptions of the nature their character were entirely wrong.
You are through no act of your own a default member of the group you hate, but that does not change the fact that you hate it, and the group in this case is a race. You are a racist.
No games on Linux means not many gamers using Linux. Not many gamers using Linux means no games for Linux.
I hate to say it, but at least in my case you're correct. Windows isn't the best of breed, but I can do almost everything I want with it and still play a wide variety of titles; that is precisely the reason why I have not bought a Mac and don't run Linux at home.:(
SlySoft'sAnyDVD and CloneDVD, used in conjunction, will allow you to back up DVDs and play them on any computer and any DVD player (at least, I've not had one NOT work yet on a device).
There was talk all during the Pleistocene era that every year, *next* year was going to be *the* year of the Neaderthal. Sadly, though they thrived for a time and may have been structurally superior to their competitors in some ways, there weren't enough adopters of this "open-source" community to keep them in strong contention for worldwide dominance.
Most other substances that allow you to alter your memories are currently illegal. Apparently, this "photoshop" stuff hasn't been fully investigated by the FDA.
I both graduated (quite a while back) in and live in LA. I fail to see how this article is anything but fiction, as there is nothing intelligently designed in our education system.
I know, a "me too" post, mod -3 redundant, but if we all bitch enough, perhaps vendors will begin to help us get through our Windows "pain." (make that mod -5 bad pun)
I actually did exactly what you suggested just a few minutes before reading your post.
I believe we're discussing cases where a religious organization is attempting to control/influence/use the government. Whether Bush is Lutheran or Baptist or whatnot doesn't mean that those groups have motives to gain control -- the individual in power is simply putting his/her personal moral views into their policy-making efforts.

...by that time Xena will probably be seen as an ancient mythological figure.
But, of fertility or castration?

Just consider your "ecology" So what happens when a griefer guild shows up and slaughters all the wolves and bears in your forest?
Bunnies. Bunnies everywhere.

Of course we are. We all had our crowbars at the ready.
Well, we've learned from history that we don't learn from history.

Apparently AC isn't the only person who wants to be politically correct.

I mean, I can see right through it.
Like those of us... (who were looking for love in the wrong places)
You mean, everyone on /. has played those games?!?!
It actually comes with a shrink-wrapped copy of Duke Nukem Forever in the glove box.

I hate to correct you, but I have heard this at least twice directed to me and a co-worker: "Hey, you Linux boobs, get back to work!"
