If you want to tax those who drive the most (or really those that pollute the most) wouldn't a straight gas tax work. Sounds like a mileage tax is just a way to reduce the tax on really big vehicles.
Again shifting the tax burden away from those who drive Escalades to the Portland airport to fly to San Fransisco for the opera and onto those who drive the VW buses from Eugene to Oakland for a Dead show. Just seems unfair some how. Are you sure this guy is a Democrat!
I could understand this if it were a News Corp paper like the WSJ, but a lie intended to induce fear and take money from people on the NY Times, seems out of place.
If people are paying a fee up front when they buy an iPod in Canada, then they should not have to pay again for music with they download from iTunes. That would be charging them twice for the same music.
I personally have enough interesting music that I don't see a reason to buy any for the next 12 months. I am suggesting that we all refrain from the purchase of music. Don't listen to music on-line. Avoid the radio stations. Anything that is a revenue stream for the music industry. We will all be better off if they have less money to buy politicians.
It is simply not cost effective and may even be contrary to the goal of education in the US. Our educators are told they are in the business of making cogs (for business of course), not thinkers!
Very cool. The thought of being trapped inside an iron shell with a high pressure boiler is not my idea of fun though. Even if it didn't have the audacity to explode, it would be like the inside of a convection oven.
Not to say that a trebuchet is an inappropriate launching device for a pumpkin. Quite the opposite. I have a deep and abiding love of all things trebuchet.
I've never heard of a Civil War Tank... But then, I was pretty sure I received a good education until I started reading books that hadn't been assigned in school. Still, don't remember a tank from that period.
They should be able to track what ever is coming to take them out. I can't imagine it would take much and it is not like the will be able to get out of the way! If they want to use them to protect or monitor, they will have to put up enough of them to block the sun! They will be shot down in minutes.
If the pipe starts leaking you just stop using it. It will not affect the foundation. Concrete and water (in small quantities) are friends.
This does not apply to the water on the outside of the foundation trying to get in. That is bad water and must be removed with drains or the like.
Sydney had trains in 1956! Seattle is only now installing light rail, almost half a century after the Worlds Fair introduced the "Transport of the future" in the form of a monorail that never went any further in all those years!
They are afraid terrorists will get a hold of the schedule and to keep that from happening they are going to stealth the whole process. Buses and trains will now be randomized. Numbers and routes will change spontaneously. Sometimes trains will run on bus routes and buses on train routes. Every once in a while one (either a train or bus) will cross over to NJ, drive off in the pine barrens on its own and self destruct on the off chance it is carrying a terrorist. That will solve everything.
We need to have geeks in LA and NY buy up every issue in every newsstand and then put them up on ebay so the rest of us have a chance to buy one. I really want to take one of these apart.

It should keep some software developers busy for a couple of years...
They'll be in India of course, but jobs are jobs!

If you want employment that would require that you are a developer in India. Being a developer in a western country won't cut it.

Oh, don't buy sheet music either.

30 Million is pretty small money for the DOD and for Boeing. There must be more money in this project somewhere.

This is no trebuchet... http://www.punkinchunkin.com/images/galleries/2008/Alex/pages/IMG_3865_jpg.htm Although it uses no powder (unless they put a little talc on the pumpkin), it is most certainly a cannon.

I'd mod you +1 Insightful if I had any points to mod with!
You left the most important ammo off your list... PUMPKINS!

Pex is much easier and may actually last longer in concrete.

maybe they displayed the logo?

If I had any moderator points, I'd mod you funny! :)
