If you have a job where you work on a computer every day, talk with your manager about telecommuting for a couple or three days a week. As long as you can insure a secure connection, the computer in your house will work just as well as the computer in your cube. This could cut out the process of commuting all together for those days.
There's actually three major interpretations of the Book of Revelation which are espoused in the modern Church. Pre-millenialism is the belief that the Revelation to St. John represents a prophetic vision of the end of the world, and that it hasn't happened yet. Post-millenialism is the idea that the Revelation was a prophecy of the Church's persecution by Rome, the fall of Jerusalem, and the eventual rise of Christian Rome. Amillenialism is the belief that Revelation is an allegorical writing about the kingdom of heaven and the conditions which have existed for most of history on earth.
Pre-millenialism tends to get most of the attention, mainly because its sensational and sells lots of books.
Personally, I lean to the idea of Revelation as allegorical. However, I'd be opposed to the idea of putting a chip anywhere in my body just in case the pre-millenialists are right.
Why do I have the feeling that the poster would have sat at Kittie Hawk and say "but it only got six feet off the ground!"
Progress sometimes starts small. Henry Ford's first car only moved 12 feet before it died. It took Edison many attempts before the first light bulb worked.
As for power, there's always nuclear and solar to consider. By the time we get this built, we may even have hot fusion and microwave energy transmission figured out
Why not. First though, we'll have to invade, jail your politicians, and dismantle your healthcare and social welfare systems. Also, your children will be taught in bilingual schools which for some reason will only be taught in English and Spanish.
After an initial pacification period, we'll annex France as the fifty-first state, at which point they'll be assigned a number of electors through apportionment.
You could take the individual frames and print them onto paper. Then you could use it as a flip book and play the soundtrack on your computer. The only problem is that we'll pretty much wipe out a whole forest just to run one movie.
Okay, I feel for the guy in the article, but why did he wait until after he lost the house to find work in another location? Also, if a hotel costs $58 dollars a night, why doesn't he find an apartment?
Moving to where the work is has always been a reality in the job market. I have family members in six states as a result of this, and I've worked in three states since I graduated from college. (And that was only six years ago.)
I agree that it should be open to corporations or individuals in other countries, but I don't believe that we should allow government funding. The point of this is to allow free enterprise to develop cost-effective solutions for spaceflight without getting bogged down in a government bureaucracy.

It seems that everyone's happy to live in a democracy, until their side loses. It's still America, and it will hopefully still be America in four years. We'll see what happens then.
I'm glad not to be stuck with seeing Kerry on the news for four years, but I'd have liked to have at least one house in Congress controlled by the opposition. That way, we might be able to get a better check on spending for the next term.
Anything which reduces the health barrier to nicotine addiction is a bad thing. Period.
Why? If nicotine isn't harmful in and of itself, what's wrong with someone voluntarily using it? Nobody seems to complain about caffeine addiction after all.
And Kerry will do what to stop it? Probably not much of anything, since he's still going to have to cut deals with a Republican controlled congress to get anything done. That, or have a completely ineffective presidency.
Just a nitpick about the pocket veto: a pocket veto is only effective if the Congress goes out of session in between when the bill was passed and the set time limit for the President to consider it. If Congress is in session, an unsigned/unvetoed bill will automatically become law after a set time period. (I don't have my copy of the Constitution in front of me, but I think it's about a month.)

I've had all that happen at my house, and I still don't have fiber! That just isn't fair.

I'm sure he has a paralegal to take care of such mundane details.

Sound good? I didn't think so.

See if you can shoehorn in Howard Dean an Terry McAuliffe while you're at it. It'll give Dean something to scream about.

When I see a "peacekeeper" in the US, I don't plan to stop shooting till I'm dead or out of ammo. And there are 50 million or so more, just like me.
I'll second that. If you think holding Iraq is bad, wait until you have to hold Texas!
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

So you're not into democracy anymore? What a shock.

I've got some background on my .sig lines here. It truly is intended as a joke and not a political statement.
Also, my last girlfriend would fly into a rage if you said "nucular". It was kind of fun to watch.
The same could be said for alcohol. Although it takes relatively large quantities before it becomes lethal.

It is John Kerry! And he is something like a 7th cousin to Pres. Bush and Jeb.
Also, has anyone noticed that they act like old frat brothers when they think the cameras are off? Oh, wait...

Is Snow White's house anywhere nearby?
Hey I worked for the FAA! And you, unfortunately, are very much correct.
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one to notice that resemblance.
I agree. I'm also planning on changing my name to "None of the above" right after my 35th birthday.
