Congress passed that resolution a while back that permitted the president to declare war if certain conditions were met. Thus, this war will not need a vote from congress. While I disagree with this, that's what's happened.
I have had excellent results with e-mail. As long as you are in their district, someone will read it, and you'll get a response via snail mail within a couple of weeks.
UPS is restricting all class 1 hazardous materials (explosives). They never shipped most of them before anyway, but now they won't ship any of them. (At least for the time being).
Now that you've covered what a theory is not, this is what a theory is (courtesy of dictionary.com):
A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.
It is also:
An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a conjecture.
However, in science, something tends to not be a 'theory' unless has been first tested and not found to be false yet.
Yeah, you have to wonder about that. Imagine the RIAA using the same tactics. I probably don't have any proof that I bought any of the CDs I own, even though I have the CDs. Perhaps I stole them, so they'd better charge me for them. It's all BS.
Reagan actually got hit by a bullet; what assassination attempt on Bush? Every president has some wacko that tries to kill them, but last I checked GWB hasn't been injured.
XP has worked in some small scale applications pretty well. It isn't for every project or every person, but in some cases it can be very effective, and in others (as you stated) it can be a disaster.
I think it's great that there are new ideas for ways to develop software, (although XP is actually fairly 'old' in computer science terms). There is no magic formula for producing quality software in a reasonable amount of time yet, but XP is another step in the right direction.
Note: While XP's entire methodology wasn't written down until about 1996, many of the ideas that it uses had been in circulation since the 70s.
I don't understand how you think he was applying a stereotype. He was using sarcasm to make a point.

Keep in mind it may or may not have been her decision to do so. My guess is someone else decided it would be better if people didn't hear what her voice really sounded like live and told her she would be lip-syncing or not singing at all.

I realized a long time ago that Americans are expected to watch the superbowl just as much as we expect Mexicans to eat beans.
Funny, I thought Mexicans were Americans too. Did I miss something?
While I don't endorse their approach, they have realized that most drug users obviously don't care about the immediate and personal effects of drug use (this is your brain on drugs?). So they are resorting to trying to point out the indirect effects of drug use (true or not, far-fetched or not) in the hopes that users will care.
Chances are if you're wasting money on drugs, you probably don't care too much about some poor kid in Columbia or whereever your stuff came from.
I highly doubt that Deep Junior merely brute forces his way through the game. He probably uses highly optimized heuristics to determine what may or may not be the best move to make. This is how he can evaluate less moves and perform better; if he brute forced every possible move all the way to the end of the game, he probably wouldn't be able to finish the game.
I guess they do offer it. I go to IU in Indianapolis, so I guess they must not offer MS SQL in the bookstore, but it is still available. (Or maybe I just never paid much attention since I have no intention on using it =] )
Part of the problem is that small rural areas have large amount of unused numbers in their prefixes and area codes. These numbers can't be used by the other places because of the current system in use.
I don't have too much of a problem if your phone rings in a theatre, or a classroom or whatever; so long as you either then realize your mistake and turn off the ringer and answer the call later, or take it out in the hallway. It just bothers me when people have to answer the phone in class or whereever they are, rather than moving to somewhere that won't bother everyone else.
Just like nonsmokers that don't tell people not to stop around them if it bothers them. I get sick around cigarette smoke, and I have found that 9 times out of the ten if you just ask people not to smoke near you, they'll do it without any fuss at all. Most people are considerate, they just need to be reminded to be.
People seem to have bad ideas when it is a good time to call. Like in an elevator. Reception is obviously going to suck in an elevator, and raising your voice in a small crowded space with other people is NOT A GOOD IDEA!
Most commuter trains I've ridden on are pretty quiet; there's not a lot of noisy kids or parents yelling, just people sleeping or reading a book.
The problem is that a lot of people talk louder on the phone in general than they would to the person next to them. They also tend to have more private conversation that they would not have if the person were seated next to them on the train, but see no problem advertising this information to complete strangers. (I had a girl sitting near me outside school once call up her bank and read off all her personal information on the phone to access her account information. She's lucky I'm nice enough not to write it down and make a few withdrawals!)
Of course, you still have to rely on the other person to give a faithful priority. How often do you receive SPAM marked as high priority? This same feature has been available with E-mail for quite some time, but is seldom used, and more often abused.

Almost, perhaps "A QA Lead", but "QA Lead" is short one A.

I know of 1 person who got pregnant as a result of impaired judgement after getting high. I'm not sure it's all that common, but it does happen.

You usually can't get server apps via those deals with MS though.
Slashdot was successful; not necessarily because of their design, but because they were first.
A lot of these dotcoms failed because they were just doing the same thing many people before them had already done.

The 1 is the country code. I believe it's used for calls to the US and Canada.
