There was nothing in the program about it being for poor disadvantaged people. They are for anyone affected by the lack of analog OTA signals. If you were affected, you were eligible. You just assume that anyone who still uses OTA signals rather than cable of satellite is poor and disadvantaged.
It would be nice to have a Democrat who believes in following the law rather than claiming that a "living breathing constitution" gives him an excuse to do whatever seems convenient at the time.
We can have such expectations of a Democrat, we have given up on having any such expectations for the Republicans!
With the current state of the industry and the world economy, have you considered taking Chinese? It might be useful since so many jobs are being outsourced to that region of the world.
What do you mean you are a third year PHD candidate in mathematics and you are only now taking PDE!? I took that sophomore year in my undergraduate engineering program, before we got into any of the serious engineering classes. If I remember correctly, it was the same time as we studied relativity in physics. What have you been doing all this time...
Based on where the edge of the pipe seems to have contacted the car and how far it looks to have penetrated I'd guess the driver was taken out in at least to major parts, left and right.
The press is saying it is unlikely he will serve more that an few months even if there is no pardon or commutation of sentence. I'm pretty sure that the Judge decides how sentences are served (the consecutive v concurrent thing), but it may be controlled by legislatively mandated guidelines. Those are getting more popular every year because legislators (both state and federal) seem not to trust judges to make correct decisions or they perceive to much variability in sentences from judge to judge.
Pretty much to late for anyone else to do damage to the M/P ticket. M's selection of P as his running mate took care of what little was left of his credibility.
If you check you will find that that is 5 years on each count. I haven't seen anyone report how many counts there are, but the implication is that the number is greater than one. He will of course not spend a day in jail. If need be, such a friend of the oil industry will be pardoned by the great tool of the oil industry, Dick Cheney who will pull the appropriate string on his puppet and have Bush issue a pardon.
With all the budget shortfalls in education these days, I would start by contacting the manufacturers and finding out who will provide the equipment free or at steep discounts. They will all have similar functionality. When I was in school, our labs were full of Tek equipment. Scopes, logic analyzers, transistor test equipment, we even had high end graphic terminals and color output devices that were made by what is now Xerox Wilsonville, but was then Tektronix. Much of it had been donated. Tek and HP each hired a lot of our EE grads. HP didn't seem to mind that almost all of our test equipment experience was on Tek equipment (but they didn't hire me...).
If you know anyone who works for a company that still manufactures PCAs, call them and see if the can run your circuit boards through their wash. These things are rather specialized with huge water filter / de-ionizer systems that supply their water and air knives that sound like jet engines which force the water out from under surface mount components. While you have the cases gutted they could be scrubbed with a mild detergent, rinsed and dried. I'm not sure what to do with things like optical drives or floppies, they might go through the wash whole, don't put the hard drives through whole though, some of them have air vents and the high pressure air might force moisture into the drive. Take the PCA off of the drive and wash it. The hard drive itself could be wiped down with alcohol. Power supplies could be fun, I bet they could go through the was as well, but you should check with a manufacturing engineer who is familiar with wash processes.
The removal of Firewire from the "consumer" version of the MacBook shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Apple stopped supporting Firewire on pods at least two generations ago. My mini supported it, and my video does not. It sounds like Apple is going to eliminate Firewire altogether in a few more years as accessories that support it are obsoleted with newer versions which do not support it. It looks like USB won the war despite being less desirable from a technology standpoint. The newer versions of USB do seem to have pretty decent performance.
Before you leave home image your hard drive to dvd with no data at all, just OS and apps. Use Ghost or something like that. Put some work files on on a flash drive. Skip the ripped movies. When you are ready to return, move all your images to flash and mail them home, then re-image your hard drive with the no data image. When you go through customs let them look to their hearts content. If they ask about the really clean hard drive, tell them it company policy that not data is to be left on hard drives while traveling because of fear of theft of the laptop. Show them the flash drive with your work data on it. Keep a memory card in the camera with a couple of pictures of the beach for them to look at.
If you can find a way to listen to the Robert Klein interview on Countdown from 8/21/08, he pretty much tells it like it is on the difference between our form of "democracy" and that of a parliamentary democracy.

Not the good things...
Nothing is analog in the future. Even you aren't analog in the future. The future is DIGITAL!

Wouldn't it actually be JBODB (Just a Bunch of Disk Bits!)
Since the site doesn't want to cough up the actual image, we don't know where the tree is located. It might still be in the server room.

Maybe we could convince the Navy to use sonic weapons on the Japanese "research" ships that are out murdering aquatic mammals.
I hate when I do that, lost a 'w' (no political commentary there, really). Should have read "two major parts."
Good thing there are only a couple of months left of football season. He should still be able to see the TV for the Super Bowl.

Do you suppose it was the 5 years per count or the Bush being a puppet that drew the Redundant mod?

You didn't read the first message, the answer is not at all.
So the number of counts is actually 7. Just heard on MSNBC.

weak coalitions that are easily toppled as political allegiances change.
Actually, that is one of the things that keeps them from continuing to do the same stupid things for 8 consecutive years. If they can't hold the coalition together, the government collapses and some other coalition forms to take its place. This is why some people have been advocating a parliamentary form of government for the US for the last 35 years. And yes, there is a relation.

Someone broke into McCains office... Hmmm... I'd bet on the RNC trying to figure out what the hell he is trying to do.
Should it be a -1 or a +1 for a bad mental image.
