7. No Blue Moon until 2007 Aug 24, 2005, 19:09 Brian A. Thomas
 
On August 19th there was an "old style" blue moon, which is the third full moon of a season having four full moons (here being between the summer solstice and the autumnal equinox). The more common "new style" blue moon, where there it is the second full moon in a calandar month, won't happen again until May 31st 2007 (in the Americas anyhow, June 30th for most of Europe and Asia, and July 30th for our friends in New Zeland). There will be two new style blue moons in the same year come 2018. Both styles of blue moons will not occur in the same year until 2048.

News Comments > Hollywood & Games Revisited (Again)
7. Re: Bah! Jul 29, 2005, 20:13 Brian A. Thomas
 
Who the hell cares? Movie-game tie ins suck arse anyway. The best Hollywood-esque voice talent in a game is Michael Ironside (aka Sam Fisher), and he's not really Hollywood elite anyway.

This covers more then movie-game tie ins. It covers any game with voices in it, such as Half-Life 2.

There are plenty of "no-name" actors out there that would do a fine job at voicing characters, and would do so at a fraction of the cost for "real" talent, imo.

This covers "no-name" actors. Virtually all actors are SAG members. Heck, I know SAG members here in little Canton, Ohio. SAG doesn't mean star, it just means an actor who qualified for their SAG card.

In the end, yes, the one poster was correct, this was about the executive committee not liking the cut they got while the actors were happy with the new contract.

Sorry folks for my part in fueling what seems to be 3 or 4 pages of political posts on BN here. I certainly didn't mean to offend anyone, nor defend Bush. So again, my apologies for my part in it all.

As to normal BN stuff like making fun of HL2, Doom3. I would if I could actually play them to see what to make fun of. Stupid Rambus memory prices being what they are, I am stuck at 128MB.
Now if the better motherboard makers would get a NForce 4 board that used the Ultra chipset rather then the SLI version out on the market...

The thing is, had intelligence been accurate, and they did nothing and those weapons were then used by Alkida or another terrorist organization, people would be screaming about the fact they didn't do anything.
Remember Iraq did have WMDs, they used them against Iran, they used them against their own people, and they used them in the first Gulf War. Remember, it was WMDs that Clinton used as an excuse to bomb Iraq, and Kerry himself defended Clinton when he did it.
The fact that Saddam appears not to have restarted his WMD program as the intelligence said is fairly besides the point. Look at the people who complained that we knew enough about the 9/11 attacks before they happened that we could have stopped them. The intell on the WMDs was more reliable and specific then the 9/11 intell, so they acted on it.
Is it not better safe then sorry. With the lies of Moore and the media, the administration couldn't win regardless of what they did.

59% for stem cells? Why is it not 100% What's wrong with people?

Perhaps because there are ways of getting stem cells that doesn't require killing an unborn child. Ways that still get federal research money.
Perhaps because the drug companies will make billions off the drugs they develop from it and should fund it themselves and private investors and not out of tax dollars.
