At no time does the Empire Builder exceed 100mph. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) speed limits are as follows:
Class 1
10 mph for freight, 15 mph for passenger. Much yard, branch line, short line, and industrial spur trackage falls into category.
Class 2
25 mph for freight, 30 mph for passenger. Branch lines, secondary main lines, many regional railroads, and some tourist operations frequently fall into this class. Examples are Burlington Northern Santa Fe's branch from Sioux Falls to Madison, S. Dak.; Napa Valley Wine Train's 18-mile ex-SP line between Napa and St. Helena, Calif.; and the entire Strasburg Rail Road, 4 and-a-half miles between Strasburg and Leaman Place, Pa.
Class 3
40 mph for freight, 60 mph for passenger. This commonly includes regional railroads and Class 1 secondary main lines. Examples are BNSF between Spokane and Kettle Falls, Wash.; and Canadian National's Wisconsin Central line between Neenah, Wis., and Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.
Class 4
60 mph for freight, 80 mph for passenger. This is the dominant class for main-line track used in passenger and long-haul freight service. Examples are most of the suburban trackage of Chicago's Metra commuter railroad, including its own Rock Island District west of Blue Island and Milwaukee District West Line west of Bensenville (also a Soo Line freight route); plus BNSF west of Cicero Yard and Union Pacific (former C&NW) west of Proviso Yard; New England Central's entire main line between New London, Conn., and East Alburgh, Vt.; and the Arizona & California (ex-Santa Fe) between Matthie, Ariz., and Cadiz, Calif.
Class 5
80 mph for freight, 90 mph for passenger. This is the standard for most high-speed track in the U.S. Examples are UP's main line between Council Bluffs, Iowa, and North Platte, Nebr.; and BNSF between Fullerton and San Diego, Calif., used mostly by Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner trains to San Diego.
Class 6
110 mph for freight, 110 mph for passenger. This is found in the U.S. exclusively on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor between New York and Washington, D.C. Amtrak has also received special "Class 7" status for 125 mph operation and (with the launch of high-speed Acela Express trains) "Class 8" status for 150 mph on specific segments of the corridor.
The track from Chicago to St. Paul is either class 4 or 5.
If you connect to the net via the phone company (DSL or modem), you are already paying these taxes. Vonage and other VOIP companies are simply providing a service over existing telecommunications infrastructure. If they tax VOIP, you will end up paying the tax twice.
Agreed. I would say that Microsoft is off it's rocker by claiming such a legal requirement. Sorry guys, but I would have to see the USC cite before believing such FUD.
That's too bad. Apple has really improved in the last few years. Mac OS X is a kick in the pants to use, allowing me to do all the stuff you'd do with UNIX with the terminal, yet keeping things simple and easy to use where they should be simple. Moreover, if you want to config stuff otherwise, you can. Linux was cool, but Mac OS X has brought me back.
Most government agencies I've dealt with have little or no actual QA. It's mostly lip service.
For example, the Oregon Department of Revenue was working on developing a new database last year. However, when it was pointed out to them by a QA engineer that entering names in certain ways could possibly generate errors, they replied "Our users won't enter it that way" and refused to acknowledge the problem. This, despite the fact that this error could really mess up the records, wasting valuable time in repair. Idiots.
And they still think they have a good benefits package with PERS. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....
Kee-rist, dude! Wil Wheaton was just an actor playing a part. So what if you were annoyed by his character... blame the writers and the director for that.
I swear, it just blows me away how people have treated Wil, treating him as if he were Wesley in real life. GOOD LORD, IT IS JUST A TELEVISION SHOW! Frankly, I would be more concerned with Wil's future projects. Any plans for bigger pictures? Any new television work planned?
Of course, then their are the geek questions: What is your UT player name? It would be cool to know if I had played Unreal Tournament with Wil without knowing it...
Obviously, you haven't been watching what happened today. No one could be that self centered that they would intentionally ignore the fact that many of us lost friends and family memebers this morning.
Good lord! This was an UNPROVOKED ATTACK ON THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT CIVILIANS! If that isn't an act of war, I don't know what is!
Hmmm. I can see the Harry Potter books winning awards; they are very good, after all. But a Hugo?
So, where were the Sci-Fi authors this year? I've read some great new books this year (Cryptonomicon comes to mind), but none that qualify as Sci-Fi. Is interest in the genre starting to wane or are authors just not cranking out good Sci-Fi stories anymore?
Oh, this is just horrific. First Lucas ruins Star Wars with the 'Greedo Shot' in the Special Edition, then he abuses us with Watto and Jar Jar, and now this crap.
How am I supposed to camp out for something with this lame of a title?!
What's next? "I Was A Teenage Jedi"?
I guess it is time to change to Lord of the Rings...

I love how you associate yourself with Chalcedon and quote Rushdoony in your.sig!
For those that don't know, Rushdoony and the Chalcedon organization are Christian Reconstructionists, a group that advocates eraticating the Constitution!
In 1973 Rushdoony published The Institutes of Biblical Law in which he outlined his ideas for a modern, Old-Testament-law based theocracy. As I stated before, the
Old Testament is not for sissies. There is murder, mayhem, rape, bigamy, incest, patricide, matricide...you name the heinous crime, it's in the Old Testament. And
often it is done in the name of God, or at God's direction. Therefore, a logical person would expect Old Testament law to be pretty rough going. And they would not be
disappointed.
Under Old Testament (Mosaic) law, there is a wide variety of sins that warrant execution. These sins include murder, rape, homosexuality, adultery, incest, witchcraft,
blasphemy, a woman getting married without an intact hymen, and unmanageable juvenile delinquents. In Rushdoony's Old-Testament-law based society, there
would be no need for prisons. Crimes would be of a nature that either the perpetrator could compensate their victim for the crime; or, if the crime was of a nature that
compensation was not possible, and fit the criteria for Old Testament law, the perpetrator would be executed.
So, essentially, your group Chalcedon says to hell with civil rights. GO AWAY, TROLL

Most college newspapers are not owned by their respective universities, but are usually entities funded by the student body.
For example, the Oregon Daily Emerald at the University of Oregon is an independent paper funded in part by the student body. Ad revenue makes up the rest. Being independant relieves them of the obligations that a state-published paper would be under.
That doesn't make the behavior of the student at Brown any better, though. Removing *all* of the newspapers is usually considered theft.

Incorrect! Here are the seven elements that define a cult:
A centralized form of leadership that rules with unquestioned authority
A body of convictions, beliefs, and practices set forth boldly as "the truth"
A compelling presentation of the group vision to prospects that is inviting and challenging
A series of manipulative socializing sessions to instill psychological dependence on the group
A definable process of group dynamics used to unethically control and manipulate members
A history of abuses of authority by group leaders freely using deception and fear tactics
A history of psychological and spiritual abuses of group members that destroy lives
While many denominations might arguably be called cults, most would not. I have difficulty fitting, for example, such denominations as Episcopalians, Methodists, or Reform Jews into those seven requirements.

HOAX.
The filter isn't perfect, however. I still get the occasional spam, and worse, I occasionally lose a legit message to the filter.
While I agree that it is better than any other email program I've used, you have to be careful when training it.
Has anyone seen the OnStar commercial where the OnStar rep opens the vehicle doors remotely?
How long do you think it would take to come up with a crack that allows third parties to do the same? It would make stealing cars so much easier...

Absolutely. I am working on a project that will require Zope and RDBMs, and a book on that specific subject would be very valuable.
Agreed. I would say that Microsoft is off it's rocker by claiming such a legal requirement. Sorry guys, but I would have to see the USC cite before believing such FUD.
