I agree completely here, you should be honest with your friend and get her opinion on the matter. I would also be careful what you tell her about his intentions for the meeting, especially if you aren't sure of what they are. If you told her he asked you on a date but he really just wanted to...
Human flight might one day become possible with the discovery of a room temperature superconductor. If scientists discovered a room termperature superconductor one could create extremely powerful magnetic fields rather cheaply. You could wear a belt with these magnets on it that would allow you...
Physics or aerospace engineering would be good choices. Since the energy required to make a rip in space time is so astronomical the only plausible way to make a time machine right now would be using a space ship. If you went into aerospace engineering you could work on developing more advanced...
I've offered all the advice I could give, I'm sure you will meet someone you can consider a true friend someday. My last bit of advice is just to keep an open mind and don't be too quick to dismiss someone because you think they don't have good morals or if they use a bad word. Try to get to...
CNN just posted another article on the issue. This one mentions their use in the US.

While this is a well known fact it does little for most of the people that are afraid of flying. The reason is because that while you are driving somewhere you seem to be in control. In some cases you have no control over accidents but up until that point the sense of control is still there...
It does involve privacy issues. My point was just that I wanted the thread to stay focused on the privacy issues related to the body scans alone, not spin off to a thread about privacy vs security in other areas including the patriot act.
True, I should have been more precise in my statement. I don't want this discussion to spin off into privacy issues related to the patriot act, etc. I just don't mind going through a full body scanner in an airport. It is clear that the explosives the terrorists are going to use will not be...

Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport will start using full body scans for US bound flights. I remember seeing this technology in its early stages a few years ago and remember the privacy issues. I am glad to see it...
Blue moons are full moons that aren't timed to the regular monthly pattern. Each calendar year has roughly 11 more days than the lunar year. These days add up until there is an extra full moon that year. It happens every 2-3 years. As for why this was named the Blue moon I'm not too sure.
WoW characters never really sold for that much since the game is a lot easier to lvl in than FFXI and most of the gear wasn't as rare or hard to get. After I quit FFXI when I got bored I took a few characters in WoW to 45 and then would sell them for $50.
The guy I sold the account to was a person I knew in game and the only reason he bought it was because he wanted to use my crafting skill. He was a rich college kid that did nothing but play FFXI so he didn't mind paying that much. The gil I sold to a few people I knew in game and then the rest...
