Good comments about the other composers, but my biggest complaint was that more could have been added if they cut down some of the segments. As, pardon me, but ST:Generations' score!? Excuse me while I barf...

Basically, there are still air quality problems, but I wonder if they're as bad as traditional incenerators?

Salt water freezes at a colder temperature than ice. When you add salt to ice at or just below 0 C (32F), the ice melts. The ice cubes need to be below the freezing point of salt water (which most freezers are set to do anyway), so they provide the extra cold. The liquid water can now drop from 0C to < 0C (-3C at least) and liquid water sucks heat from cans better than solid ice. In short, you made the ice more efficient. :-)
A side note, some old hand-crank ice cream makers used to recommend using a "chilling brine" to freeze your ice cream. Now adays, they use those super-cool materials that can stay cold longer.

But it's a private company and ANY thing a private company does in the market place is automatically good and noble. Ron Paul would agree. Other than his opposition to the Iraqi debaucle, I don't care for him. I have an anti-pathy to libertarians.

My understanding is a significant portion of the compulsory military doesn't care for the occupation. There are even peace movements within the military.

Enon... That IS what they believe! I'm not making this @#$! up. With the exception of the DC-10 thing, that is the basis of Scientology and their alternative to psychiatry. Balancing the alien spirits within you and you will be cured of schizophrenia, depression, homosexuality (<-- rumored to be why Tom Cruise joined), etc.

Hehe. Oh my... Well, the Internet enabled fridge is STILL part of Microsoft's envisioning of the future.

Fletch: Holy crap! Good catch there. It wasn't even just party lines as you said.
