I watched the 'Enterprise' drop test as a kid and God willing I'll be around to watch the last one launch in a few years. I just want more _of_ them. I want the weekly launches. I want smaller and cheaper shuttles. I want frigging Pan-Am back in business and flying rockets to a commercial space station.

And yeah, I never really listened to them much, but did buy that one album. The liner notes had thumbnails of all their other albums, and thus my assumption that you can be popular in your native England without anyone knowing who you are over here.

And I thought most of what was on Urban Hymns was good. I think that it's just that the wretched music biz doesn't know how to sell spacerock in the US, just shitty nu-metal and rap.

Hey, Beard Dude - gun safety. Didn’t anyone ever smack you on the head when you pointed your weapon in an unsafe direction?" It's SHOT show Bro. Weapon sweaping is somthing that happens there with as many people that are floating. It's avoided when possible but it happens. This is real life, yes even from a Mil, LE or Operaters stand point sweaping happens. As far as the demo and the FMG9 pointed at the chest area. I know, could have been avoided. Sometime the rules have to be broken to show the best view during a demo. I've been smack a few times in my day. “That and he’s pointing it into a crowd of people.

You don't run your business off 30 cents-a-day shared hosting and complain like a bitchy teenager when uptime drops down to 99.98%. I'm sure liability is covered in the terms of service, and that you'd have better luck suing the government because a traffic jam on their roads made you late to your mcjob, costing you an hour of minimum wage money. If dreamhost was going to, say, credit its customers for the downtime, they'd only have knocked 1.3 cents off my bill. Hardly worth the time to go to the status thread and write a haiku...

I'd guess there's something in the fine print that says you can't sue your host for loss of ad revenue...but who knows.

If the west is dealing with double standards with Islamic world (support for the implanted Israel , support for the corrupted Arab countries for Oil , ....) they should expect more people to hate them.
