Now there are the old units called NCBU which have square individual boxes, but they are being phased out for the above. If what your talking about is tall and narrow individual boxes, that's individual bought/owned by the apartment complex.
Interesting enough, my supervisor had to do a count of mail in a collection boxs the day after this story appeared on/. But it was some stupid "get more mail to the processing plant" study crap that was ment for city offices only and not us poor rural bastards.:P
If it says "Postmaster General approved", then it's a not a USPS CBU. An official USPS CBU would have all sorts of warning on it not to vandelized or destroyed with a mention of a USPS statute.
It's some generic third party crap that was bought by your housing complex or owner. Funny thing today, I was told to keep mail seperate from the collection box that I have on the route. Eight pieces of mail, BFD.
Oh please, spare us the drama. Zip *g* is going to happen when the last collection box is removed and sold for scrap metal. Except it's one less thing to do on a mail route then having to dismount the vehicle to go to the collection box and scan/service it. USPS still picks up letters from curbside deliveries (ie your typical mail box sitting at the street) and any given single or grouped CBU (Cluster Box Unit) has an out bound mail slot you can use, regardless if you have a box there or not. You want the mail to go out, USPS is more then happy to drive their carriers to exhaustion to keep you happy.
Now one thing that has nearly but all dissapeared are the green boxes. About the only place you will find those are in large urban areas.
How would spyware install itself if I'm not running Windbloat? It's the OS that matters for spyware as I can run AROS or Linux on the box and still not have to worry.
The ignorant ones are those who think they can talk to unreasonable people into being reasonable people. One of these days, these violent assholes are going to terrorize the wrong person who can do 3" grouping, or better, at 25 yards.
Let these buttheads be warned, with Bio Tech Corps moving to Florida, FL being a Shall Issue state with some very strong home owner laws, don't plan to do that in FL, and live.
Why in the world would the "oil companies" give a rat's ass about "man made" global warming in the first place? Demand is not going to go down, supply is limited cuz the tree huggers won't let them drill in new areas, so they are going to make the huge profit regardless on what "scam of the year" folks are believing in.
The only people scared they are going to LOSE money is those bellying up to the government teet for research on global warming. If the public finds out it's junk science made up to scare them into pushing for even more bigger government that will taxe them more, it's adios to that grant money.
For me, I'm waiting on Honda's FCX based vehicle http://world.honda.com/news/2006/4060108FCX/. Not because of the scam of "global warming", because I rather have my independence from big oil and those who think I should be put to death for being a Pagan. Yes, I know it's slow using solar to seperate water into hydrogen and Oxygen, but it's far better then Paying $3.25 @ Gallon with those people making a profit off my misery. And I get to screw the government out of taxes on fuel when I make my own.
Actually it makes complete sense if you understand the culture of that area. Hez claims victory as they touted Isreali pull out as a loss for Isreal. To that part of the world, Isreali lost face and was defeated by Hez. Hez is elected into power since they are the ONLY Arab organization ever to DEFEAT Isreal. Land for peace is now a dismal failure and Isreal has to show the Arab (sp) culture that Isreal has not been defeated and will kick them in the nuts repeatedly till they get the message.
Dunno about Gulf area, but the Eastern side of Florida, especially since I was on the bullseye for Francis, Jeanne, and Wilma, those developement (I mean very large developements) with underground power lines had power days if not a week before I did. FP&L has begun a program of paying 25% of the cost of burrying power lines under ground. City of Palm Beach (island proper) was one of the first townships to opt for it and they sit between the Atlantic and the Indian River so there isn't much elevation.
I seen a couple old Guildies show up from WoW, but the number of guildies leaving or seldom logon is being felt. If DAoC isn't shut down within a year of WAR's relase, I'll be greatly suprised. RVR is sucking on Killibury, battlgrounds are lopsided most of the time, if there is any significant RVR going on. ML/Arty raids are getting fewer, and finding groups for group steps, better have some friendly guildies there to fill in the gaps. I don't know why Mythic is constantly behind the power curve in DAoC. They react to something, usually making it worse by not fixing the problem out right in the first place.
If Sanya is reading this: It's too late for DAoC, but for WAR, please actually use the Team Lead's input instead of blowing them off when they have a valid point. Especially when the team leads can show you where their class is very weak on. If Mythic is planning to deal with Team Leads like they have with DAoC, scrap the plan entirely. It's not fair to the team leaders to waste their time and efforts.
Forget Big Business is paying off the Congress Critters diatribe. I think it's their shear ignoranc that is the main issue. Unless of course, they are pulling a William Jefferson (D, LA) with roled frozen money in their home's feezer, then all bets are off.
Your leftist slip is showing, this has zero to do with technology or anything remotely interesting to Nerds. Get over the 2000 and 2004 elections, your dream boy(s) lost, get over it already.
First of all UAE is our partner in fighting terrorism. Unless of course, your just racist by nature, then that wouldn't matter to you. Second, it was not ports being sold to the UAE corp, it was the terminals which operate in those ports. Those terminals are actually leased, not owned by those corps, even if that corp built the facility. The actual owner is the government and they get all the toys at the end of the lease, which they turn around and lease yet again.
Same thing at airports. Hangers or terminals maybe built and paid for by corporations or individuals, but at the end of the lease, the airport authority (usually state but could be county or city) has ownership of those structures.
Pull your head out of the sand for a minute and consider it's the RIAA/MPAA crowd that donates heavily to the Democrats, not the GOP. Bet your thinking Hillary is right on top of this extremely stupid and racist anti-Dubia policy right? Take a look at where the money is coming from her joint checking account with Bill, http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/3/4/141014 .shtml?s=ic
No, if anything, letting the DoJ go play with RIAA or MPAA folks would be a good thing for the GOP. You, as the anti-Bush, anti-conservative type, should be out buying CDs and DVDs by your favorite ant-Bush artist by the arm full. Afterall, your hard earn money is going into their pockets so they can afford to donate for you to the Democrat cause.
Funny how Google gives the US government the finger, yet is down on it's knees for the Chinese Government. Guess the Chinese government issues better knee pads. Oh, Chinese are leftist, current US Government is viewed as Right Wing. Silly me!
Problem is for the left wing/.ers, Palm Beach County:
1. Heavily Democrat population who voted for Kerry. 2. Palm Beach County Election Official is a Democrat. 3. Previous (2000) Palm Beach County Election Offical was a Democrat.
Get over it and get real.
Dammy Moved to Martin County and is far more happier.
Unless of course, it's the ability to carry out prayer or other religioius expression during meetings or on government property. Then the ACLU is indeed forcing government (courts) to take your rights away. Before I'm called some evil Christian, I am a pagan and ACLU does concern me, alot.
Now then, where the F was the ACLU when the Clinton Admin was conducting physical searches without warrants? Where was the ACLU during the Clinton Admin when they were doing 100% domestic phone taps in Federal Projects? Where was the ACLU during the Ruby Ridge or Waco? Where was ACLU when Echelon (talk about lack of search warrants and a invasion of privacy) was uncovered? Oh silly me, that was a Democrat in the White House and it was us silly conservatives complaining. This is clearly a "Get Bush!" thing.
Back on subject, if the thought that ~36 authorizations of international phone calls were tapped after significant concern about terrorism was called in bothers you, then you have some bigger issues. This is about international intelligence gathering and not the US Gov using "poisoned fruit" evidence in a criminal trial of a US citizen.
Science is hardly a be-all know-all as it is, so don't give me that tired overused excuse to bash religion on. I'll gladly point to this man made global warming farce as a prime example of junk science. Oh wait, that also flies in the face of most/.ers elitist mentality as well. I'm not sure which amuses me more, the Creationist or those who think Science has all the answers. Pot... kettle... black.
Excellent example of such elitist mentality so many/.ers show when it comes to belief system of others. If I had your mentality, I would be giving people some really sharp tongue when they wish me a merry Christmas since I'm Pagan. Guess I'm just more tolerent of others since my beliefs are shared with a very small minority.
