P.S. The old hippie in me just had to go and take a look at your site. Two comments come to mind. Jitterbug Perfume is the best of Tom Robbins books. While I enjoyed them all to one extent or another that's the only one I'd be inclined to re-read.
Also, it's that big key at either end of the second row from the bottom.
Nonetheless, there have been times in my life when I've risked all. Sometimes the pay was good, sometimes I was the one doing the paying.
You see, I did them because I wanted to, not for the money. The thing itself scratched my itch.
So there it is. If you got an email and instantly thought to yourself, "Hot Goddam Puppies! I'm going to Afghanistan. Martha, oil my AK-47. "Old Betsy" has got some work to do," well, what are you doing here asking questions for? You know you want to go. Take whatever deal they give you. Have fun. Keep your head down and wear a cup.
That doesn't appear to be you. You want to know if it might be worth the money, to which I have just one question of my own:
Resulting in his invention of the AlGore-Rhythm, the patterned, recurring alternations of contrasting elements of political speech when running for office.
"Left! Left! Left, right, left! Left! Left! Left, right, left! There I was just campaigning down the street. .."
It might better be summed up in the single word "Ohana" though, typically translated as "family" in the extended sense, but I prefer "kinship" in the sense that doesn't require close blood relation, and we are all, ultimately, kin, even by blood (or DNA).
Since the release of the movie Lilo & Stitch not only has this word become more commonly known, but so has it's underlying meaning of "No one gets left behind."
I also like the way Cooper phrased it, in The Last of the Mohicans when Heyward claimed debt to Uncas for saving his life:
"Life is an obligation which friends often owe to each other in the wilderness." -Hawk-eye
Oh- I thought there was a more general interpretation of Heisenberg available as well
You are falling into the trap of mistaking an interpretation of the theory, i.e. what people say about that theory ( such people often being clueless in the first place) for what the theory actually "says".
Much like people often claim that The Theory of Relativity "says" that everything is relative, which is completely wrong. The Theory of Relativity "says" that the speed of light is absolute.
The charm quark is "heavy", i.e. relatively massive, while the the strange quark is less so.
So, in keeping with the lighthearted naming conventions of the 50s and 60s that brought us "charm" and "strange" in the first place (I voted for "Chocolate" and "Maple Walnut" myself), why not just call it the "Laurel and Hardy" Meson?
And 7Ghent is pointing out the PREMISE that consumer capital investment affects your premise.
CDs eventually supplanted the vinyl records in the marketplace, but it took a considerable time to do so because of the capital investment consumers had in both the playback equipment and the records themselves.
The majority of people only bought CD players when there were a sufficient quantity of new titles to play on them to make it seem worthwhile.
If Microsoft cannot produce a large quatity of new and superior titles being first to market with the platform will be meaningless.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Perhaps they just need it explicitly pointed out that a "lobby" is just a peacable assembly of people who have appointed an individual or group of individuals to petition the government on their behalf?
Or perhaps pointing out that freedom of speech works for everyone or it works for no one is now flamebait?
There's always "Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite the Source," which is quite a mouthful, so we'll just call it "LEFtS" for short, but that might be a bit too Dantonesque for some.

The current owners (The Learning Company) have denied requests from third parties to be allowed to distribute it and of course it is unsupported.

Damn, KFG, what are we going to do for punctuation?
Perusal of the internet gives anecdotal evidence (which is really the only kind there is when considering linguistic trends) suggesting that within a couple of years all punctuation will be considered archaic, with the exception of the exclamation point of course, which convieniently coincides with the one which can act as substitute.
This will cause certain issues for writing code (especially Perl), but that matter will be dealt with by only allowing the purchase of fully functional keyboards by federally licensed professionals.

I wonder; what kind of approval do you need in order to fly into space? Is there some governmental green light?
Yes, you need approval from the Commercial Space Transportation division of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA/CST).

Of course he has to repeat the experiment:

"Yes officer. 64.93534572099238 miles/hour. I'm a very good driver, but can you tell me how to get to Fort Smith from here? I seem to be lost."
(Cue Arkansas Traveller on the fiddle)
"Well, can I take this road to Fort Smith?"
"I'll tell ya, I been standing here all day and don't see no point and ain't seen it move, so I knows it's there already."

What the First Ammendment actually says:
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Perhaps they just need it explicitly pointed out that a "lobby" is just a peacable assembly of people who have appointed an individual or group of individuals to petition the government on their behalf?

Take shower. Soak in a bath for an hour. Scrub yourself with a towel until you glow red.
Now go to Japan and watch people wrinkle their noses as you walk past them.
BO is a relative, not an absolute. You stink. Get used to it, it's just that if you stink the same as your neighbors you don't notice it.
