Apparently, draft dodgers is not the only thing we exported across our Northern Border. We have apparently also exported limitless greed, avarice, and thirst for power. Oh, add corruption, corporatism and entitlement to the list!
Iran is not an Arab nation. Its population is Caucasian, and is non Arab, although it is a Moslem country.
It is the cradle of civilization, a beautiful country despite the US Propaganda that makes it look like a pile of rubble, stones and mud huts. It has a high degree of education, many fine universities and research institutes and takes foreingn aid from no one.
Iran has never invaded any other country, and as far as I know they have never lifted a finger at the USA. Other than shooting down our million-dollar drones that violate their airspace.
I saw a movie of a space battle -but forgot the Name. There was a lot of noise, zapping sounds from the Lasers, booming from torpedoes, crunching sounds from colliding space ships.
Now, how do you think they recorded those sounds in outer space if there was no sound?
My daughter has one of those vaccum robots. Comes out of its hiding hole, runs around the house avoiding obstacles, or cleaning up those that were occupied on the first pass; avoids stairs, doesn't suck in the dog's dick, and when its done, it parks itself back in its hiding hole, where it is plugged in 'till the next time.
NOW, that technology should be put to digging up the basement. The little robots go around digging, dump the dert into a conveyor and when done for the shift, park themselves. The shift being defined as when the people of the house are awake or not home. Why bother taking the dirt outside? Maybe, except for the stones and rocks, just wash the dirt down the sink drain, after all, its a little bit at a time and the aquifers have at least 20 years to run.
A few of these digger bots, working 7 days a week for 16 hours or more a day, will probably do the Canadian's job in 6 months. I am sure he didn't spend 16 hours a day digging. But the bots can.
Surely you mean the USA? They burn domains, they go crazy over the Wikileaks, etc. And... SOPA will take care of the rest. We have the best government money can buy.
I always thought that a simple, National Sales Tax could replace the entire Byzantine Internal Revenue Code, income taxes, etc.
Buy your clothing, etc., pay sales tax. simple. Not even a return to file every April 15. You keep what you work for.
Internet sales tax would be a premium on that, to distribute among states. And let the states worry what counties, cities, etc. the money gets allocated among.
I thought that paid porn, via credit card, was sort of a safeguard against children watching porn. Free porn means children can access it... for free! What a concept. It's reverse child porn.
Stargate Universe is going to follow. Just watch. Dark scenes, absolutely boring episodes. We just sit around waiting for it to get better, but it does not.
The last episode, the one where the guy gets the blue growth on his arm, was dreadful; just plain dreadful.
Where the other two series, the original one with the G'uld, and the later one in Atlantis had a good story line with good filming and effects, Universe has poor shooting and poor storylines. The premise; ie, the spaceship lost in space is not bad, but the implementation sucks.
I mean, man, like you are so hopeless. First you lose your backpack, so next you are going to lose your pants, your shirt, your wallet, your virginity and your self respect. And you are worried about just a few keys?
First you have to keep from losing things. Like the backpack. You have to sit down and meditate on this. I can see losing a set of keys through a hole in your pocket, but a whole backpack!
Route the DSL, cable, power, lights, thermostat
etc through a lockable box. Might take some
nonstandard connectors, etc. An inspection of the
room once in a while to make sure no wires have
been spliced.
A front door peephole thingie installed backwards
in each bedroom door might be appropriate too.
Can it be hacked around? Sure, but its a major
inconvenience with poor return and the risk of getting caught.
Not true. For the average person, the Automatic
gives better fuel mileage.
Get stuck in mud or snow, and the Auto is easier
to get unstuck.
Put a woman behind the wheel; most don't grok
stick shift.
The stick car needs more maintenance, usually
clutches, within its normal lifetime.
Using a stick requires more brainpower. Brain
power which is best used for listening to a CD
or talking on the cell phone.
Finally: Fuck you. I want a warm, toasty car.
With automatic. I got lots of money, so I can
indulge in my whim. The starving kids in africa
can kiss my automatic transmission. LA can
choke on my smokey exhaust.
There, I said it!
I would have used a tone decoder. They run in
the $30 - $40 range, and typically require
4 DTMF tones.
Set the phone to auto-answer on ring, a typical
mobile setup.
Plug the decoder into the phone jack.
Dial the phone, and it auto answers. When you
see "connected" in your own cell, just press the
4-digit sequence. The decoder starts the car.
No more worry about telemarketers. And no taking
the cheap cell phone apart.
Rather than pass all sort of inconvenient regs,
they should just have taken the Nigerion fellow
out back and shot him. It would have been a much
greater deterrent than a bunch of silly regulations that will utimately result in someone taking a shit
right in their seat.
The Stranger has exactly the content that I
despise in newspapers. Having said that, what
it has is well executed.
But I want real news, not stuff on useless stuff
like that.
At current fuel prices, this is half a million to
two million dollars of "product" per year. I am
in the wrong line of business. How do I get my
acre in production?
Or, put it another way, if my car(s) go through
only 1,000 gallons a year, can I have a small
greenhouse of only 2,000 square feet produce my
fuel?
Slashdot Mirror
Ok, so I take this song, and I print it out on paper.
Like 01000100100100001000010110010100101 etc.
Is that copy illegal?
Yes, they worship a god that tortures those that displease him.

I can predict the future: A Satellite Internet Provider is going to gain 60 new customers.
Now that is a comment!
So, if I get stung by an engineered bee, do I get to sue Monsanto (or whoever)?
See what they got?

Free porn means children can access it
In the 1960's we used to say:
Ass, gas or grass ... nobody rides for free!

Yes, its an industrial automation system by
Siemens, AG, but the software runs on Windows.
I wouldn't trust Windows to fly an airliner; would
you trust it to run your nuclear plant or a
hydro station?
Wanna bet that Windows has NSA "back doors?"
They are nuts to run American Windows.

Its the rollover minutes that cause cancer, the other kind of minutes does not. Like in Sweden.
Just think, with Moore's law in effect, we'll be able to buy a New Brain in about 6 years. Perfect! I just wish I could buy one now.
