If you have a printer, keep it hidden (somehow). Every damn person on my floor wanted to use my printer, but nobody ever offered to pay for ink or paper, which can get damned expensive. Since they were friends I couldn't say know, so after a while I just started telling people it was out of ink, and if they are willing to buy me some more then they can print.
Hopefully these days (10 years later), most students have their own computers/printers.
Why not compare him with JFK? They both proposed tax cuts to spur the economy. Given the context, its a highly relevant comparison.
Now, Bush has higher moral integrity than JFK did. I am sure there are no 19 year old mistresses or naked pool parties at the White House today, as there were during the Kennedy Presidency.
I know you Democrats love JFK... Funny thing is, the best things he ever did (cutting taxes and the handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis) were very much handled like a Republican.
Yes, we need a president who will tax the hell out of everyone, thus making a wealthy nation sending more stuff to space. See how stupid that sounds?
Now, when JFK pushed the space program in the 60's how did he make the economy good and therefore increase revenue for the government? HE CUT TAXES! Yup, even a philandering Democrat realized the way to get more government money and a better economy was to cut taxes.
Taxation inversely (or, perhaps, adversely) affects government revenue.
Boy, the way it happened in close encounters was so much more exciting: bright lights, music, Richard Dreyfus making mashed potato sculptures. Instead, we detect farts. Nice.
Sampling James Brown screaching "eeeeeow!!" is no problem, but what about when Coolio and Vanilla Ice steal entire songs and just rap over them? That takes no talent whatsoever.
I think its funny that Coolio got pissed off at Wierd Al for doing a parody of Ganster's Paradise (Amish Paradise), when Coolio's songs are almost entirely "stolen" (Fantastic Voyage to name one of the most blatant rip-offs).
Personally, I'd rather not listen to "artists" who don't have the talent to read or write real music, but to each his own I guess.
Its unobjectively dimension-less. Listen to any of the crap that is being put out these days- it all sounds the same. A drum loop, lots of bass, stupid sexual lyrics. Years ago, when people like Dylan, CSNY, Hendrix, and so on were making incredible music they had to be poets as well. Nowadays these morons, if they do write their own song, write thoughtless crap.
Very good point. Any good music these days can almost exclusively be found in bars. These people are putting together their own CDs and doing a damn fine job! I'd rather pay $10 to a talent musician than $20 for crap any way.

Mainstream music is so sterile these days, its completely unenjoyable. I weep for the future!
Why? Because it can be downloaded for free (I doubt it). I think, rather, its because NO GOOD MUSIC is being put out these days. You have to go back to the 70's to find most of the good stuff. Today's music is shallow and lyrics are entirely thoughtless.
When a musician had to be talented? Those were the days! Now any idiot with a bandaid on his face can spew dirty limericks and Dr. Suess rhyming patterns and have a number one hit.
Gotta agree. CGI is just going to look ridiculous when the hulk comes around. It would be more realistic (realizing, of course, how unrealistic this is), if they just some huge steroid freak play the part of the hulk. One of the things that made the TV show so cool to watch when I was a kid was the fact that you could imagine what it would be like to stand next to the Hulk (Ferigno).
I have actually been hearing this too... A recruiter called and asked me if I knew of anyone who was looking, when I said no, he said "yeah, it seems like more people are finding jobs."
I was surprised, since unemployment rates still seem high. Regardless, its good news to hear. I have had 3 job offers in the past two months and an interview coming up this week, and I am currently employed. Things may indeed be getting better, albeit slowly.
Sure, the market has taken a negative turn, but the inventive and forward moving spirit of those who love technology will continue to thrive. Recessions happen, and suck, but lets face it, technology is where its at. I still believe that software engineering, as a career, has strong prospects for future growth. If companies wish to get out of their current holding pattern they are going to have to grow their technologies very soon.

Ha! I can't believe I typed "know."
Pretty funny.

Put that in your peace pipe and smoke it...
Yes... I knew that. You are my new friend!!!

Think about that for a while, kiddo...
Uhh... Evil Islamic terrorists woke the US up on Sept. 11. Have you forgotten already? I would prefer that the US stay alert and defend itself!
I knew you were on my 'friends' list for a good reason!!! Great reply to a very ignorant post.
Yeah, but at least space wars will be way cool than the plain old wars we have here on earth, what with the lasers, photos, and cloaking and stuff.

"If his editor had some spine he or she would send his drafts back with lots of red lines through the more egregious sermonizing."
Oh yes, censor anything the liberals might find offensive. Never mind the fact that Clancy's books are incredible sellers.
Become. I thought by the 1997, a huge computer company called Cyberdine systems woud create the perfect robot.
Oh well...

Chicago. Yes, there is a great local seen.
I do listen to current music- just not popular crap. I stick to local music, where the talent is.

Rhyme here, rhyme there, drump loop, bass... done!

Oh, I see... you have no life, so you're going to watch everything that I post and follow up with this message. Who's the nut?
In related news, I keep hearing that the Iraqi regime will soon defeat America. As always, you've got to consider the source.
