...find the best machine? Easy: I ask my geek friends. For the past few years, they've all said the same thing: the Millennia, from Micron Electronics. And they're right. I bought my first Millennia two years ago and a second this year, ordering through the micronpc.com website. It's the king of PCs. The machine is solid--no tinny clicks and clatters when it does its microprocessing--and it never fails, no matter how much junk...

To the suggestion that homosexuality ought to be approved and embraced, the starchy traditionalist might reasonably reply: "Thanks, but heterosexuality as the sole acceptable form of sexual expression has been working out tolerably well over the past couple of millennia--I think that we ought to stick with what we know."

Presumably, the Red Sox will fall short of the World Series as they have seemingly done for millennia. Will service be speedy enough when a vintage edition of Home Run Derby (e.g., Harmon Killebrew vs. Frank Robinson) is on ESPN instead of playoff baseball?

Both he and Carroll traced a connection between this unavoidable implication and the history of anti-Semitism in Western and especially German culture that has more or less continuously marked two millennia of Christian tradition...
...stream flows and cloud formation. This changes the weather over most of the globe in fairly predictable, entirely natural ways. It alternates with the La Nina cycle, which cools the waters and creates mostly contrary effects. It's been going on, as far as we can tell, for millennia...
