    John Ritter is Dead!

    If I'm not mistaken, he also played in the Stephen King movie "It." (The one with the physco clown). He may have also played in Langoleers (sp?) but I am not sure of that.

    In Praise of Inandlong

    Please ... Even doctors, lawyers and Super IQ kids like me get "spare time." The great part about it is knowing that you can't dictate how we spend it.

    You think you've been in deep %&@# ?

    First of all, some background. Satellite Topples to Floor in 'Mishap' http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/space/09/11/satellite.lockheed.ap/index.html Now, what you WON'T see on any of the news organizations is the actual picture of this. But leave it to aphie to track it down for you. Here...

    That sounds even better -- I'm sure the coroner will appreciate the foresight!

    Interesting thoughts about God and society

    I never claimed to be able to prove that he exists, I only said that I *believe* he exists. If you want definate proof, lay down in a nice warm tub of water and slash your wrist and wait a few minutes.

    Interesting thoughts about God and society

    I'll accept that definition. A "god" would be the creator of the universe -- or perhaps more generally, the creator to all that is. Now I do understand where the logical contradiction comes from. "If your universe requires a creator, why doesn't your creator require a creator, etc?" We...

    Where were you on 9/11?

    I was at work in Annapolis at the time when my coworker called me and told me that a plane had hit one of the two towers. My first thought of course was a picture of a Cesna hanging precariously out of one of the windows. I tried to log on to cnn.com but it was down. MSNBC gave error 404...

    Where were you on 9/11?

    I'm curious where everyone was and what they were doing during the morning of September 11, 2001. Please share your stories here for everything.

    Interesting thoughts about God and society

    It is amazing how a lot of atheists point fingers at theists for believing in a God and then laughing at them for trying to prove God exists -- all the while, many atheists are just as "sure" that god doesn't exist without sufficient proof for THEIR case. Truth is, nobody on Earth knows the...

    This will do wonders for the RIAA's image.

    RIAA suing file swappers

    This isn't a theory, it is a fact. I am sure that publishers are losing sales due to the fact that public libraries exist. The point I am making is that fair use laws and copyright laws in general are just not working as they were intended to when first written. Did you know it is...

    RIAA suing file swappers

    Yes but if I read the book or listen to the CD that I aquired from the library, I've already made a copy of it with the neurons in my brain -- it is called remembering. I believe the point he was making is quite valid. If I check out a book by Stephen King, read it and return it to the...

    RIAA suing file swappers

    This is my forte so I'll take a stab at this entire debate. First of all, we should place a distinction between "property theft" and "copyright infringement." According to the law, these are two separate laws that cover different activities. By providing for download a song through the...

    RIAA suing file swappers

    Yeah ... it was pretty funny. It ranks up there with the anti-weed commercials our government puts out.

    RIAA suing file swappers

    The DMCA gives the RIAA gestapo like powers by allowing them to issue subpoenas through a COURT CLERK instead of an actual judge. It is pure bullshit. Also, how are they going to keep others in Canada from sharing files, where laws state that it is LEGAL to share? They can't do anything...

    no passage of time at the speed of light

    If the car were traveling at 0% of the speed of light, I would image that it was 16 feet exactly. If it were traveling at the speed of light, its mass would become infinite. It would require almost an infinite amount of energy to get closer and closer to 100% of the speed of light...

    String Theory coming to PBS

    I just had a bit of a revelation of thought: Obviously, there are a lot of things about the universe that we do not understand. We do not understand the origin of the universe or precisely how it works. However, we do have some knowledge that are factual. a) The universe does exist...
