A program where we explicitly look for people who are going to leave again in a few years, improving the overseas competition, is just dumb. If they're sending as much income as they can afford back home, that's not so hot for us, either.
I'm happy to have immigrants come in who bring their whole families and intend to stay. That goes for the Ecuadorian cooks that supposedly run most of the restaurant industry, too.
Mike Cox was running for Michigan governor, and just badly lost the Republican primary (voting against him was the only reason I voted in the primary at all). I don't believe he was running for AG again at the same time.
Anyway, she called them about it, but still gets stuff occasionally, including a notice that her Ohio income tax refunds will be garnished (we're in Michigan).
I said she must have been on a business trip around then and gotten some poor guy pregnant.
My wife, who kept her maiden name, got a collection letter from the state of Ohio (one state over) addressed to "Melissa <my last name>" for twelve years of child support, starting roughly when our son was born.
Monogamous relationships are the only safe environment for sexual activity, and anyone to immature to conduct one of those successfully has NO BUSINESS experimenting with sex
This is going to sound really weird, but pre-fertile kids experimenting only with each other is also safe. There will be no pregnancy, and there's no way for disease to get introduced.
Apart from that, an awful lot of life is about picking what risks are acceptable to you, considering what you gain by taking them. Yes, monogamy and abstinence are safer, but so is never leaving your house.
Aircraft carriers are large enough to save money over conventional power so unless the Navy goes back to nuclear powered ships, they belief in only big nuclear reactors.
That may be a factor, but I've read a couple places that the updrafts from the smokestacks on conventionally powered carriers are a landing hazard.
The problem is that you have to use the terrible Zune software. You could say the same about an iPod. I'm perfectly happy dragging my MP3's, as file, onto my Sansa MP3 player. I do not for a moment trust iTunes to manages my files, so I don't consider an iPod to be an acceptable player.
If you're much of a voyeur, the idea that they *really* don't want you to see anything can add a bit of a thrill to whatever you do see.
I've never seen anyone in a burqa in person, but abayas are fairly common where I live. When one gets caught in the wind and presses up against the wearer and you see a clear outline of a nice leg and hip, it's actually kinda hot.
The actual reps are just employees of the party, and may be replaced by the party at any time.
How would this solve any of the issues which caused the legislature to split into two in the first place?
One of the reasons for splitting the legislature was to over-represent small states; I'm opposed to that one.
The other reason was so that the power would be derived by different means. The senate was supposed to be a matter of successive filtration, like the electoral college. People designated someone they actually knew whose judgment they trusted, those people did the same, and so on, up through the various levels of government. Election of the senators by state legislatures was to be the last level of that filtration. That idea didn't really work out, but the goal of making different parts of the government work differently still has some merit, and designating one house as operating by party is a similar differentiation.
In other words, your vote for senator should be the most "purely ideological" vote that you cast, as the senate should be involved in the least amount of micromanaging.
We should go further than that. Senate votes should be completely national and completely partisan. Each party gets a vote proportional to their share of the popular vote in the last election, and the people who show up for debates are simply party employees.
When I was a teenager (and more respectful of the letter of the law) I was pulled over for failing to stop because I stopped behind the sign where you're legally required to. The cop didn't see me until I was going ~5mph through the area where most people actually do stop.
My uncle, a professor, tried to explain that human timing error meant that the closer the markers were, the LESS accurate the speed measurement was.
That's only true for the average speed. Closer markers are more likely to tell you the fastest instantaneous speed, since there's less room for it to have varied.
The article you're linking describes water injection as a technique to improve effective octane ratings. I think this was the one you were really looking for: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crower_six_stroke
I have never had a computer play DVDs in a way that was anything but more annoying than a cheap purpose built player, and you would have to work to get me to believe the same isn't true for blu-ray.
The interface on the Blu-Ray software that came free with my drive does suck, but it's intended to get you to buy the $100 version.
I've never seen a stand-alone DVD player with an interface anywhere near as good as either PowerDVD or WinDVD. Browsing through the special features menus is an exercise in figuring out which item is really selected, and trying to get the infrared sensor to register (at least the PS3 doesn't have that problem).

cooking is the best thing one can do with their pants on.
I do quite enjoy cooking, but try looser pants.

The girl on the street corner, versus the girl with an escort ad is only a difference in their advertising medium.
The girl on the street corner has a pimp around the corner who owns her. How common is that for someone advertising on Craigslist?
Sleeping with some disgusting old lard-arse who could never get a real date because you need the money has no psychological ramifications?
No worse than what a nurse's aide has to deal with.
Bah! I thought I *was* hitting preview!

the effort expended to separate people from their Rupees should be roughly equal to the effort expended to separate people form their Yen.
Yuan. Yen is Japanese.
I believe that was Groucho Marx.

Holding information on it's citizens, that's what gives Germany jurisdiction.
That's why Germany cares. It doesn't give FaceBook a reason to care what Germany thinks.
What gives Germany jurisdiction, anyway? Could FaceBook just move a few of their servers?

The idea that a state should have rights apart from those of the people who live there is just perverse.
Which one? House? President?
That would be the senate vote.

I got that, thank you. That's why I agreed that you were right for measuring average speed.

I met mine through the VMS Confer message boards set up at our college. They were already ancient in 1994, but still pretty popular.
