I could not agree more however, the neatly dresses clean shaven guy at the door is just as likely as a guy that looks like the typical stereotype thug.
So yeas ask for ID but not just on the basis of looks or dress.
LOP gas has beecome popular in Australia recently.
I was talking to a gas specialist recently who told me they are selling a lot of diesel conversions.
I was puzzled by this until he explained. They inject some gas into the inlet whilst the primary fuel is diesel. The installer claimed, and later reading backed him up, that a 15% increase in fuel economy and 20% power increase occoured on turbo diesel engines.
I am aware the US is big, but it is smaller than Australia, where our politicians nearly all travel overseas to assess prctices in other countries, to gain a braoder perspective on methods of govenance.
Personally I have visited both the US and Europe.
If you feel unsafe and disliked outside your country you only need to look to the actions of your previous adminstration for hte reasons why.
Not doing so creates a mono culture approach, which is I suspect why logical improvements such as public healthcare are not accepted.
Whilst I dislike the actions of the US govt, I have largely found the people to be friendly and pleasant.
By far the easiest to do work on are the Dlel Latitudes. well thought out assemblies mean that they take about half the time to pull apart and get to parts than for example HP, or Apple.
I remeber an old IBM tech told me years ago, the story of the Golden screwdriver.
"This fed into IBM's arrogance. Mr. Carroll writes of the "golden screwdriver." A customer would be sold a computer, but IBM would ship a machine twice as powerful as the one requested, with a few lines of software added to block some of its capabilities. Then, when the customer invariably requires a faster machine with more memory, the IBM technician would arrive, and with his golden screwdriver erase the redundant software and make a few other changes. Soon after, the customer would be billed an extra million dollars or so."
As you made the first claim, I look forward to YOU providing the citations to back it up, which you did not do in your post, at which time I will happily do the same.

Are you joking, remember the secret rooms where all your communications are fed straght to your NSA? Do the words warantless wiretapping ring any bell?.
If you have marketable skills you would just have to be tempted to go to the US?
Heres a clue for ya, Australia has a FAR lower population density than the US, but strangely, mobile contracts are STILL mush cheaper than the US,in particular, recieving both SMS an calls is ALWAYS free.
Do you like taking it up the ass from cellphone companies?
We had a 10% VAT, called the GST (Goods and sevices tax) introduced some years ago in Australia, but to reduce the impact on low income earners, food was exempted. Seems to have worked well,
One obvious one I forgot, was penicillin, developed by Howard Florey amongst others, a born in good old Adelaide SA! Probably the biggest impovement in medical treatment ever! Wiki calims penicillin has saved 80 million lives!

That was my point.
Nah a good BOFH would never leave any evidence behind.

I see, so you can judge a book by its cover.
Some of the nicest and funniest people I have met looked just as bad or worse than this guy.

Test only, please ignore.
Having issues posting thru proxy.
And yet in the last few years I did a lot of replacing capacitors on motherboards.
I'm not saying it was easy, but it was possible.
There is no freedom when you work for the private sector in the US.
Fixed that for ya. Civilised countries do not allow this kind of excessive power to employers.

Whilst I am not a big Sony fan myself, my 66cm Wega colour TV is now 6 years old and still has a great picture. No faults at all.
I refurbish a few second hand laptops.
By far the easiest to do work on are the Dlel Latitudes. well thought out assemblies mean that they take about half the time to pull apart and get to parts than for example HP, or Apple.
Nearly all the built in card readers in laptops are SD only.
Sony may not have a monopoly on production, but I bet they other companies have to pay a licencing fee for maiking MS.

Yeh, I have come to the conclusion that ACER is Taiwanese for crap some time ago!
Yeh, I seem to have lost the plot.
I cant even work out who you were replying to in your previous post.

OK everyone, stop upsetiing dburk by infroming him of reality.
Apperently he wants to be raped by corporations and would rather not have his rape publicized.

Put your analyst on danger money baby.
And of that 70%, 90% have probably never even been outside the US.
I read somewhere that less than 30% of US federal politicians have ever had a passport.
But it is still completely wrong

Socialized health has providied those benefits moron, I live it every day in Australia.
No prescrition cost me more than $5.00, as i am a disbaled pensioner. All prescriptions are far far cheaper, as is mediacl treatment.
But dont let reality interfere with your deluded
world view.
Have a look in the mirror, a moron is looking right at you!
Sigh, way to make un uniformed claim.
