"Actually you can compress JPG further, and my Dialup ISP does it (converts a 50K jpeg to 5K)."
If my ISP were to on-the-fly hack down the size and resolution of the images I'm requesting, then I'd crawl thru the wires and beat them mercilessly.
Or... you could just turn off the compression.
Now it's obvious that you're not bright enough to split big files into pieces.
That's backwards. If his friends are anything like my friends, they would NOT know what to do with a multi-piece RAR file. They wouldn't be able to reintegrate the 4 or 5 pieces back into one MPG file. That's why I too send just one file - squeezed to fit inside yousendit.com's 100MB limit.

Your solution to an increased number of accidents due to texting and cellphone use is..... do nothing? That's nuts. Like saying we should not outlaw drunk driving.
We KNOW the activity impairs drivers (slows their response time) and therefore endangers the rest of us. While current laws may not be working that's no reason to just "do nothing". Let's try a different tactic, like immediately lifting the license of anybody who is caught DUI or texting. And then send them to drivers' ed if they want to earn it back.
Oftentimes the worst and most virilant hate happens between brothers.
The National Socialists, Communists, and Social Democrats were all "reds" but they still did not get along. It's akin to how I read a lot of Greens calling the Democrat Congress "lousy" even though they are all liberals and all want basically the same goal (healthcare, environmental protection, etc). It's brother against brother infighting.
BTW one of the key differences between National Socialists and Communists was that one wanted to maintain private ownership of land, while the other wanted no private ownership (collectivism). Otherwise they have pretty much the same policies (free healthcare, free college, etc).
"He signed the Federal Reserve into law, enabling our current system of fiat currency." .
Unfortunately most people don't know what this means. In a nutshell: What used to cost a penny in 1910 (candybars, sodas, etc) now costs about a dollar. i.e. The private central bank (the fed) ran the printing presses like mad, and devalued the money to 1/100th its previous value.
"Genocide"? What genocide? It's not as if the US Government (or Carolina or Georgia governments) rounded-up Indians alongside giant pits, shot them, and buried them over with dirt. There was NO genocide.
Oh and before you discuss the "high death toll" after Europeans arrived - it was caused by bacteria and viruses. Maybe we should put Smallpox on trial?
Spain's Florida attacked first, according to historians. Constant raids into Georgia. The US tolerated it for about 20 years, and then finally decided it had enough and declared war. As its right when an aggressor is being belligerent.
you find another news organization that regularly attempts to deceive it's viewership,
MSNBC did a report about a black man carrying a gun at a Liberty Rally. They even captured the guy on video.
They then chopped the black guy's head off (in the edit room, not literally) and turned it into a 15 minute story about "gun toting whites" who "are probably racist" and "don't like having a black man as president".
That's just the most obvious example. There are many, many others.... although MSNBC's favorite technique is not to lie, but simply not cover worthy events (censorship through silence). For example they never covered the Muslim rally that called for the Pope to "go to hell" and "pay for crimes against humanity" and "death to the pope!". FOX and CNN covered it. But if you were watching MSNBC you probably never even knew that happened.
- Free Healthcare for All? Check. - Free Retirement for the Elderly? Check. - Free Housing/Food for the Poor? Check. - Free School plus College for the People? Check. - Not free, but government-subsidized "People's Wagons" for everyone, even the poor? Check.
Hitler and his Parliament of the 1930s looks socialist to me. In fact that was the key goal in Spain, Italy, and Germany: To bring corporations under Direct government control (i.e. strictly regulated), while providing lots of government-and-corporate-sponsored benefits to the workers. It was an extremely popular party platform.
In the 1930s, long before the gas chambers were built, Hitler killed his own Germans simply because they were mentally retarded (purify the German race). Communists because they were considered an enemy of the national socialists. He did not kill but did imprison Christians who felt forcing Jews to wear stars was immoral (Pastor Niemoller in 1939, for example) and other white persons who dared question Hitler's rule. And sterilized Germans he considered inferior or "mongrel" instead of pure.
Even if Hitler had been executed in 1940, and never killed one single Jewish person, he would STILL be considered one of the worst tyrants in history (like Mussolini, Nero, Napoleon, Roberspierre, Pol Pot,...) simply because of his anti-civil rights attitude.
The irony is that MSNBC is just as slanted as FOX, but in the opposite direction. (FOX is pro-R and MSNBC is pro-Democrat.) But for some reason almost nobody sees that obvious bias MSNBC has. They think it's a great channel! Amazing.....
But the Park Oil estimate was updated in the year 1995, and they still predicted "between 2005 and 2010" as when Global Peak Oil would hit. Not even close to accurate.
I was making a point. During the Bush era I saw Democrats/liberals carrying Hitler signs. But now suddenly, that's not allowed. Hypocrites.
By the way fascists ARE socialists. "socialist" was in the name of the 1920s-40s fascist parties of Spain, Italy, and Germany. And the parties of Eastern Europe, USSR and China. Of course not all socialists are fascists.
If people are distracted by various things (texting, adjusting radio, eating) it makes logical sense to ban doing them. Otherwise we'll have distracted people doing everything BUT driving, and more accidents. The AAA study shows that texting decreases braking time worse than being legally drunk.
AAA has even shown using hands-free phones reduce braking time (because the human brain is focused on the conversation not the road).
It was not Jackson who removed the Cherokees. It was the Governor of Georgia. It was the governor who ignored the Supreme Court, and that is where the blame should be laid
But he didn't gas the Indians (like Hitler did to jews/gypsies). He wasn't even directly involved. The CONGRESS was the actor, and they merely asked these people to sign treaties (which they did) and move westward to new land (which they did).
As far as I can tell the only overt crime Jackson committed was ignoring the Supreme Court case Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, 1831 which said the Cherokee had the right to remain in their home because they were a sovereign nation. In all other cases the Indians signed a treaty & left voluntarily.
FOX is Republican (or Libertariaan) leaning and people don't like Republicans/Libertarians.

states which banned txting while driving had NO decrease in accident
You misinterpreted the study's conclusion. "Our research shows that texting bans do not decrease crashes. No one should take that as meaning that texting while driving is not hazardous. It is hazardous," said Anne Fleming, spokesperson for HLDI, which is an affiliate of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. "What we are saying is the laws as they now stand are not addressing the hazard," Fleming said.
Probably the same reason DUI laws don't reduce accidents. It's hard to locate those drivers who are driving drunk and probably equally hard to find drivers who are texting.
