I don't think you can refer to stupidity to not having a choice, they don't have a choice, nor the knowledge to do that in any other way. Because of the level of quality of life in the industrialized countries, and because they want to keep it, the resources and riches are badly reparted. Most countries do not have warning system, because they already have a critical budget. Costa Rica doesn't have one and it'd cost about 30M dollar that the country doesn't have and won't have for a long time and even so it would only be a warning system coming what? about ten minutes before the waves? Costa Rica has two coasts one on the pacific and another one on the caribbean and is in a very active volcanic/seismic area a 9.something richter could do terrible damage (a 5.something about two months caused enough losses) so politicians won't probably opt for one. About seismic activity the entire world has to some extent seismic activity, LA and San Francisco are in a very active area, but they're still there. There Napoli right under a Volcano and the Turks are still living in Turkey with earthquakes and all.

My mother teaches at the Central American Geology School at the University of Costa Rica, yep they did meet there, then worked at the Costarrican petroleum refinery, for a while. My mother also workd on the petrographic side of things, whle working there but as that didn't prove useful in a country where political leaders do not want to search for petroleum. @Ivo: Not all rocks are hard... and a greenfield terrain might not do as the grass would cover what you are looking for. (Unless you were looking for rocks blasted out of a vulcanic eruption, which are pretty big to miss and are most of the times the same things) Cracked terrain and faulty areas are far much more interesting... I can't believe I said that.

Try looking in the forums at jediknight.net or the forums at xwlegacy.net... They might have something. Hasn't mask popped up around here, perhaps he knows about that.

Cologne accent? Never heard of that on, Bavarian you can learn to leave with. But Swiss and Austrian are beyond comprehension.

This is a very dull comment without to much thought. What profit is there in...errr...clearing up the rubble of lots of third world people? Why help anyone anyway. I say let everyone fight thier own battles and if they survive, they do, and if not, they don't. That is the way it has been for millions of years in animal kingdom. Why change things now I used to think so -and still do-, problem is that the twisted and hypocrital (sp?) "rules" of diplomacy of certain biped animals require the powerful-all-generous "industrialized" countries to give aid to those in need of it (this only after a devastating catastrophe that attracts the attention of international press) and especially when hundreds of their own citizens used to go on vacation to Thailandia, etc... Of course as Jahled pointed out money only comes out when a catastrophe happens, when an "evil" dicator has to be removed, but not when half africa is dying off AIDS, and half the world lives with less than one dollar a day, etc... (This appllies for all the G-something fellows)... DC: Actually there's two geologist in the family, as my father too is one... (It can be very annoying when they talk about stones... )My mother, is more on the sedimentology side of geology (now works as a professor at University) and my father is more on the Environmental Geology side of things, working as a consultant.

As I gather Austrian dialect is the worst German dialect...

The ways of the Force are strange. Unlike human-caused disasters tsunamis, earthquakes, tornados, etc cannot be averted, personally I believe it's Nature's way to bring some balance to the world. The Red Cross and the Red Crescent, are doing what they can to save lives, yet one wonders how some countries mobilize thousands of soldiers to wage war, but cannot do the same when such a catastrophe as this one happens. My condolosences go out to those that have lost someone. GMC: Good to hear that you are still kicking and fighting! DC: Nice model, my mother (a geologist) loved it. Some of those little islands there must have disappeared, wouldn't they?

Mine charges about 2.50... Haven't heard about most of the movies on that list, plus i'm not much of a movie-goer. Ep III is definitely on the top of my list, but after that I don't know.

Much the same has happened here, imported fat Northamerican Santas have replaced the good old Niño (Child... Christchild...) Merry Christmas for all of you for who tomorrow is already tomorrow. (It's still 24th here) and of course for all of us which still have about eight hours to wait for Christmas Day... I can't wait to test the Reb present and the other one... kinda... empty zip file... Desde Costa Rica: ¡FELIZ NAVIDAD A TODOS!

Auch ich spreche deutsch. Der Tag war schön, die Sonne schien und ich habe meine letzte Geschenke gekauft.

Too keep with mask's Afrocaribbean music... Bob Marley - Kinky Reggae

Once you retire to Jamaica you'll just hear that music. And tuning in to Mask's rhythms. Bob Marley - Buffalo Soldier

Yeah, but there are, at least in Latinamerica, no Zone 4 DVD players, instead they are all Zone 1 & 4 DVD Players. And then DVD Player manufacterers developed Multi-Zone DVD Players... BTW, IIRC European image quality was higher than US one.

Excellent find, BS.

You weird Europeans and your Zone 2 stuff... Get a Multi-Zone player. I found it in German but not in French or whatever weird language you might find in that icecube in the Alps that you call home. EDIT: Cliquez-moi What about now?

Me too... And my sister's...

Click me. I'm hoping that ROTK extended will be waiting for me under the ChristmasTree... * Scath, I own the TTT extended, and I like it more than the original theatrical release, it has some nice scenes that tie it better to the books and to the third movie, plus it elaborates a bit on the Aragorn - Eowyn romance. *Subject to the interpretation of the subliminal messaging to parents and sister...

Soda Stereo - Paseando por Roma

Whoa! Someone's really angry here. Calm down. Go kick a ball, give some punches to the sandbag. Meanwhile I've searched about that virus of yours, it's a rather recent Trojan. (22-11). A firewall can help to keep it from connecting to the Net, and an updated adware detector might help to prevent getting it. Once it's in this might help to eliminate it: http://www.scanspyware.net/info/Win32.Swizzor.br.htm

Mask always went for quality over quantity. He has good choices, but I believe there might be someone else. Elvis could always do a surprising comeback and make 4K before anyone else, but it's probably you, young one, who'll "spam" his way up.

Charly García & Mercedes Sosa - Inconsciente Colectivo

The spirit of past Rebellion, the spirit of present Rebellion and the spirit of future Rebellion.

Gandhi - Del Corazón

There are some elves walking in the woods, in the earlier parts of the movie. After Frodo is wounded at Weathertop, Aragorn and the hobbits find Bilbo's stone - Trolls. The Council of Elrond was extended, including Gandalf speaking in the black tongue of Mordor. There a scene of Galadriel giving each of the members of the Fellowship their presents. Those are the ones I remember, I may have missed a few.
