But if a plane was to be highjacked by terrorists, we already know what they plan to do with it.
Whatever happened to the good old days, when a terrorist hijacking a plane just wanted his leader freed from prison, or to be dropped off at a remote location in another country?
They've got an interesting compatibility metric, and I think it's run by the sparktests guys. I'd double-check on that, but I'm already running late for class. In any case it's worth having a look.
He is being a semantic nit-picker, but if you asked an economics professor, he'd tell you that there is a distinction.
Demand is, as he said, a two-dimensional curve of price vs. quantity demanded. As price changes, the quantity demanded changes. However, there is only a shift in demand when market factors cause the entire curve to shift; I.E., at each price on the curve, people now demand more or less goods.
This is an illustration of what I am talking about. While the prices P1 and P2 cause different quantities to be demanded on the same curve, the shift in the curve from D1 to D2 cause different quantities to be demanded at the same price.
So, the users whose mail was wrongfully given to the FBI could sue the ISP, then. Oh wait, the FBI isn't going to tell them about it. It's not going to tell anyone what the domain is, or who the ISP is, either. State secret.
That might tip off the person whose e-mail they were reading.
"The founder of social networking giant MySpace has claimed that the sale of the business to Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation last year for $580 million was a scandal and has demanded an investigation into his allegations that it was sold too cheaply.
...
Greenspan alleges that the management of the company and chief executive Richard Rosenblatt in particular of hiding vital financial information about MySpace parent Intermix Media's performance in order to convince the shareholders that $580 million was a fair price for the business.
'News Corp.'s valuation has increased by $12 billion since the transaction occurred just one year ago, and there are several independent analysts today that agree that Myspace is worth tens of billions of dollars," Greenspan said. "It is time everyone knew the truth about the 'hijacking' of Myspace and the individuals responsible for this eye popping theft.'
...
Greenspan said that he found internal company reports which said that MySpace revenue grew at a rate of 1,289% a year between 2003 and 2005. The growth of the whole of the company, which included other units, was 52%, which is the figure which most shareholders were given, says Greenspan.
Greenspan made $47 million from the sale of the company, which he left in 2003 amid an informal SEC inquiry and restatements of accounts, according to Reuters."
Not really. Corpses have more on unborn babies. See, while neither a corpse nor an unborn baby can object, a corpse could object at one time. Therefore, a corpse is worth more regard than an unborn baby (which is worth about as much regard as the average goldfish).
I use the internet for news and watch movies with a digital projector
I've got to say, I do the same, and there really is no comparison. Especially because I can stream movies onto the projector right off of my harddrive... and we all know how easy it is to get movies onto your harddrive these days.
How can this be when evolution is merely a random unguided biological process that makes the idea of God unnecessary, irrelevant, and archaic?
I hate to toot the creationist's horn here, but as an agnostic, I'm forced to point out that you really have no idea how random and unguided it is. You just have faith that it's random and unguided. Which really makes you no better than them.
and a game who's main purpose is to wash dishes and trap people in a pool?
He was talking about The Sims here. Of course, only utter failures at the game would spend time washing dishes. It's much better to give someone the grilled cheese aspiration, farm aspiration points by having a housemate eat their sandwiches, and then spend the hundreds of thousands of aspiration points you get on energizers, so you never have to have your sim do anything but work and then recharge.
Snapdragons and Servos are pretty sweet with this strategy as well.
You don't understand. The graphics card, if it supported DirectX10, would still "work," it just wouldn't support the extra DirectX10 features (which are only really relevant to gamers, or maybe workers in the graphics industry). Running a DirectX10 game in it's DirectX10-mode requires Windows Vista.
Which is, granted, total lock-in bullshit. But that's Microsoft's vile scheme. The computer manufacturer is doing you a favor by pointing out that some hardware might work differently if you uninstall Vista. Of course, it'd be nice if they were more specific, instead of just making a bunch of vague statements that blow the potential issue out of proportion.
A "DirectX10 is not supported in other operating systems" message would be a lot more helpful than "OMG! Your Computer will explodez!!!11!!1one"

Well, as of just now, Google has 3,160 hits for "large hardon collider"
I think it can at least lead to the first one on your list.

Are they called as much because they spend their time making the competition look like a bunch of hacks?

What about the O-ring?
Tell them to take Freedom, Privacy & Technology at Portland State University with Professor Christopher Carey.
Good point.

I used to know the joy of the CG characters printed on the "album cover" materials for Final Fantasy 8. Now that's what I call ...

How is Myspace in decline? Cite a source, please.

I don't know, I think it's tongue-in-cheek. Like, look: Rush is an idiot. That's worth something, right?
The only thing I have on my hard drive that takes up multiple gigabytes is music
Speak for yourself, I have a 300gb drive that's nearly filled with movies and games.

Yeah, just not this planet. I mean, you must admit, none of the animals look very "earthbound."

Don't forget about Fallout 3!
Why have 1 person driving a backhoe when you could employ 20 with shovels?
The backhoe is a one-time investment, some maintenance aside. People, on the other hand, can only be rented, not bought.
I think his problem was that they had no source.
