Maybe I should change it to: Poverty enables terrorism. But I also believe that poverty enables religion so I guess I'm stuck in a loop. And yes, it is a broad trollish statement. I guess the day I wrote it I felt like using a two-by-four to whack some sense into people. I seem to have more and more days like that.
Damn kids, get off my lawn!
But that thanks for the reply Ingolfke, it's well taken.
Damn Colin, I was looking at the book list on that site and one blurb scared the Jezbus out of me:
We are living in the last days. An annointed generation must come to earth to help prepare the way of the Lord. Many in this generation will be children. Will these chosen children be allowed to come? Satan is trying hard to prevent their conceptions and births. Birthing God's Mighty Warriors exposes how Satan has used the secular idea of choice and modern medical advances to convince God's people to limit their family size through birth control and sterilization.
Now I see why some have marked me a foe because of my.sig.
Agreed, Doctor. A light pickup with a small 4 cylinder engine actually gets decent mileage. My '89 Ranger 2WD with the 2.3l engine still gets about 23MPG (when not loaded with firewood.) I'm five miles to the nearest services (except espresso, this is the Northwest after all;) so mileage very is important to me. What pisses me off is that one can not buy a DIESEL light pickup in the US. Ford, et al, sell them in South Africa and Oz but not here. I would sure love to get on the biodiesel wagon but I'm not moving to a full sized diesel pickup (my dick isn't that small.)
Considering that the new Consumer Product Safety Commissioner just appointed by Bush & Co. was the lead lobbyist for the Manufactures of America... we may need all the help we can get.
Damn! I hate to admit this but I did just that on a CM400T (I miss that bike.) I got on my bike and got into a long chat with my friend, started up the bike, eased out the clutch and went right down. I think he's still laughing. Really, this happened to me. The label was looking me right in the face as I pulled the bike back up.
In Washington State (US) if you rear-end someone, you will get a 'following to close' ticket. And for good reason... you were! Following too close is also bad for traffic. see anti-traffic: http://amasci.com/amateur/traffic/trafexp.html
Airbus A380 tanking before liftoff Production of huge jetliner bogged down with delays and national rivalries By David Greising Chicago Tribune
HAMBURG, Germany - In Airbus' sprawling Hamburg plant, one of modern industry's biggest meltdowns, lies a tale of two airplane-production hangars and two countries, Germany and France.
Nearly 600 people should be hard at work in the key production hangar here, where Airbus planned to assemble the giant sections of the world's largest passenger airplane, the A380. Instead, the quiet is broken only by music playing softly on stereo speakers that an employee sneaked in. Only a few dozen employees tinker on eight airplane carcasses clogging a production line that cost some $15 billion to develop.
The workers essentially are hand-building some of the company's first two dozen A380s.
Airbus' super-jumbo jet program was launched before Chicago-based Boeing's big hit, the 787 Dreamliner. But the A380 now is two years behind schedule -- and the production delay will cost Airbus' parent company, European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co., $6.1 billion in operating profit over the next four years.
In Hangar 42 nearby, it is a different scene. Dozens of aerospace engineers are in a mad dash to untangle the A380's myriad problems. They huddle in front of computer terminals set up on 15-foot-long folding tables so they can be in constant contact with workers in blue jumpsuits who are investigating a hobbled A380. The workers, confronted with bundles of wire that won't bend in the right places and cables that come up short, explain the problems to the engineers and urge them to design new ones. And quickly.
The design engineers are bogged down by computers that can't talk to one another. One displays their work in three-dimensional images, the other is strictly 2-D. The breakdown fouls the effort to design and build parts and get the A380 back into full production.
The A380 line won't run full speed until 2010, if all goes well. Biding their time until then, thousands of workers are idle or on part-time shifts. Yet others labor furiously, redesigning parts and installing them as they arrive, all in the rush to get the A380 on track.
The production problems are especially tough to manage because the rest of Airbus' system is running full steam. The company will deliver a record number of smaller aircraft this year, 430, outdistancing archrival Boeing and topping 400 for the first time. In addition, the company last month announced it will launch a midsize aircraft, the A350, designed to compete with Boeing's hot-selling new 787.
But no matter how well the rest of the business might run, though, Airbus can't declare success as long as the A380's problems remain unsolved.
What's gone wrong
An examination of what has gone wrong with the A380 is a much broader issue than parts that don't fit and computer systems that can't communicate with one another. Indeed, corporate and European politics are as much to blame for Airbus problems as the breakdown between computer-design systems in France and Germany.
A bitter battle for control of European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co. last summer came to a head when the A380's emerging crisis should have demanded top management's attention.
Cultural issues also are at play. Workers in France and Germany don't necessarily trust each other. French workers suspect the Germans covered up problems or ignored them in an effort to keep work for themselves.
To move forward, the company has had to work out labor agreements in both countries, and a massive reshuffling at the top of Airbus also has occurred.
At full production, Airbus hopes by 2010 to produce four of the massive A380s per month. But it will deliver only one next year and 13 in 2008. The reason: It will take years to redesign significant parts on the production process and move those planes clogging the line.

Reading most of the comments the one I didn't see was the solution to PUT THE BUG IN THE BATTERY. Even then if you take the battery out, the bug is still on.
"..so long as it is 120db down from my primart transmitting frequency, i'm legal."
But as a good ham, if notified of RFI you would stop transmitting and look at getting a notch filter. Now you've got me trying to figure out what combo of ham freqs or harmonics would cause interference at the gov 300MHz band.
If you are hamsexy then you would be monitoring that channel anyway;)

There is a saying that if your god hates the same people that you do then he's fake.
