    Condoleeza Rice. Cheney. That seems to be about it.

    I'm sure he has some loyal long-time toadies in lower positions all over the place.

    I'm not particularly worried about what political talking-heads say, but you know they will and, more importantly, you know that there are people who vote who believe them.

    WRT losers: damn right. I'm almost more disgusted with the Congressional Dems who don't have the spine to stand up to Bush's abuses than I am with The Decider himself.

    The state can divide its EC votes how it likes, as long as the law to change how they do it gets passed.

    Why indeed would Shrub keep his word on that? He's got an unparalleled record for self-serving moves.

    And you know that if he did break the agreement, you'd see Faux News and the other talking heads rush to his defense, screaming about obstructionist Democrats who won't give his people an "up or down vote" which they "deserve".

    They were fired because they wouldn't abuse their offices for the President's political gain.

    You make me sick.

    I'd take Ashcroft back over Gonzales in a heartbeat.

    And that's sickening that we'd have someone who's /worse/ than Ashcroft with that kind of power.

    Hur? Honestly, I don't understand why you would partition your hard drive /anyway/. I could see doing it in the Windows 98 days, when large drives wasted space due to larger clusters, but why these days?

    IMO, the only way to benefit from multiple drives is to have your OS and programs on a WD Raptor and your data on a larger and slower drive.

    The source is open, so you can hire a programmer to maintain the software. Not necessarily so with commercial s/w, especially if the vendor doesn't want to support your version any longer.

    OK. Have you seen any pictures of what hurricanes and other high-wind phenomena do? They can throw a piece of wood (like a 2x4) most or all of the way through a tree or some other hard object. The wind throws the object so hard that it goes right through and leaves a hole the size of the thrown object's cross section or maybe a little larger.

    Like the other poster said, things get non-intuitive when you're talking about high velocity. Energy = mass times the square of the velocity. So, say a mass of 2 units and a velocity of ten units. That's 200 energy units. Now double the mass to 4. That's 400 energy units. Double the velocity to 20 but leave the mass at 2. That's 800 energy units. See the difference? It's linear versus exponential.

    FTM, did you see any pictures of the Pentagon afterwards? That was a big fucking mark the airliner left.

    If you think the Soviets were honest about that, you haven't looked at any Soviet-era propaganda, the stuff that the proles were meant to see.
