If I had mod points I would mod you up. 60 minutes did a special with the commander of the special forces group that hunted Bin Laden. It was very interesting. Based on all the intel they had, they believed that they bombed a cave that he was in, possibly injuring him. He was presumed dead, but resurfaced months later. Amazing story to hear. Based on his telling of it, it sounded as though his higher ups tied one arm behind his back in his mission to kill Bin Laden.
All this time I thought cookies were a mixture, but you're saying that they're actually a compound. Chemfinder doesn't have the formula for cookie molecules.....is there a technical name I need to use?
I also don't want it done in a way, like cap and trade, that makes energy use so expensive that it costs jobs and forces poor people to go without electricity.
That depends what we're defining as "poor." People living in section 8 housing don't pay for their electricity. As a part of my job, I end up inside of section 8 housing frequently. I believe that some people do need a leg up or a helping hand, and that is what those resources are there for. I also know from seeing it firsthand that a significant portion take advantage of the system, living in section 8, refusing to look for work, involving themselves with drugs heavily, selling food stamps to buy liquor, etc. They crank up the a/c in the summer and the heat in the winter. While I keep my heat low in the winter, and turn it down or off when I leave for work or sleep at night, I have seen these same folks with open windows in the winter because it is too hot in their apartment! Why should they care? They're not paying!
My point is this: Truly poor people aren't affected by cap and trade. This hurts people scraping by above the poverty line and most of the middle class. I feel that this is yet another step in the systematic path to eliminate the middle class.
Sorry for the whole big rant, but I can't stand government support given to people who make absolutely no attempt to help themselves.
I thought I saw a documentary a long time ago that said that they had to go over the duel scenes frame by frame and use a highlighter for the lightsabers. is that totally wrong, or did they have to backlight the blades they were using and then add color with the highlighters?
Hold on. I don't agree with about any of the above comments, but let's be clear, we never stole any oil. Our gas prices have gone up to 4 times higher than they were before the invasion of Iraq. Clearly we're not getting any deals on it. Secondly, it wasn't just us. The UN was with us for the operation. Lastly, I can't say that there haven't been unfortunate casualties of war. For that I am truly sorry. But I continue to support the soldiers, even if I don't support the administration. If you talk to any American soldier, they'll be glad to tell you how they're making a difference over there, and how pulling out now will create anarchy. Every soldier I've talked to is extremely proud of the job they did/are doing. We're not some country of murderous thieves. We probably over extend ourselves with so much foreign aid to so many countries. So please, think before you throw out such abusive comments.
I find more disturbing that there is so little actual news content for the Colorado Daily, that they're putting updates from "friends" of the newspaper on the FRONT PAGE, EVERY DAY. Do they pick through for the best updates, or do they just throw the entire newsfeed up there? I can only imagine! Right next to the picture of the President at whatever event just occurred is the status update of John, who became victorious yesterday over his bout of constipation.
In the short story "Waldo," one of the main themes were "magical" energy generating devices called "DeKalbs." SPOILER: Ended up that they were actually sucking energy from an alternate universe. At any rate, I'm not inclined to dismiss it outright just because it can't be explained. However, I agree with a previous comment that they need to produce a working prototype in order for it to be taken seriously.
Yeah. That's one of the reasons that I love Ubuntu. I dunno about other distros, but I know that Ubuntu will spell check automatically, without any commands, and highlight questionable words, offering options. I found this particularly useful when using GAIM, like having an edge on my counterpart, because I wouldn't have to pull up a dictionary to check the spelling of a word.
You know in the spring, when the snow melts, and you have to clean up after your dog hardcore? Yeah, well now think about how much dinosaurs used to poop and how long the snow's been there. We'll need even more special radar to tell us where the poop ends and the ground begins.
A whopping half of the guys in your frat worked part-time? I don't know anyone that doesn't have a part-time job in college. A know a few who have two. I keep two during the summer, and I work as much as I can with 18 credit hours during the year. That money isn't discretionary, though. That money goes to books, lab fees, car payment, insurance, and gas. (I commute from my parents' to save more money.) I don't know about Texas, but that's how it is in Ohio. Our state is horribly economically depressed, but I think you proved my point more than disproved it.
Despite what you seem to think, the "greek community" on most college campuses has lots of inter-mixing of people. After all, it's a college campus, right? And those people represent the same variety that the college represents.
There is a lot of inter-mixing between these greek groups, true. But what makes you think that these groups represent the same variety that the college represents? You're missing that huge chunk of students who don't have the spare coin to blow on a social organization. I know that I don't have that kind of money, and neither do mommy and daddy. I paid my relatively small dues to be part of a professional organization, and I help run it on the executive board, instead. I am part of a group of people you may have heard of called "working class." Graduating college for many of us is already upward mobility, and it can be economically difficult. So don't go thinking that you're meeting people from all walks of life. You're meeting people who have or come from some money.

The more Jimmy Wales is in the news, the more he sounds like Krueger from Seinfeld. "Whatever." He probably nicknamed essjay "Coco the Monkey."
