But, wait, how can you be sure it's not already happened? Maybe you should put all your foil in the microwave and zip any RFID tags - if it arcs, sparks or sputters, there was probably a tag...
Every year for the past 10 years or so I get phone calls from the Paralyzed American Veterans wanting to sell something at inflated prices to raise money for their cause. Their sales spiel contains the phrase "I see here that you bought trashbags from us last year, could you use more this year?"
but I found a quote several years back that went something like this...
A late game is only late until the moment it launches A bad game is bad forever.
Games like Anarchy Online that ended up being decent games, suffered drastically at launch and word got around that the game had issues, wasn't worth trying, etc. and they no doubt lost a lot of potential customers over this.
Get the game right and then launch. You're always going to have isssues with someone who is using a 4 MB video card or only 64 MB of RAM on their mobo, or some other issue - that's going to happen - don't let the people who bothered to read the minimum requirements and have met them suffer because you wanted to get the game out first.
I think the biggest concern I have is that I'm most likely going to be out of satellite range for times usually longer than 5 hours (i.e., I'll be working at my desk inside a building - usually for 8 hours). Also, a majority of the "two funny guys" radio shows are 4-5 hours in length already, so you have room to record only one day's show?
With the rock bottom prices on Flash RAM these days, this seems pretty pathetic...
Where do most of those Canadian drugs come from? The United States.
The Canadian government meets with US pharmaceutical companies and negotiates price breaks for bulk purchases. The US pharmaceutical companies go along with this because if they don't, then they will sell almost zero quantities to Canada.
You really think that the US pharmaceutical companies are going to willingly double, triple or even quadruple the amount of pills shipped to Canada in order to meet the needs of US citizens who want to re-import the drugs back to the US?
If you're allowing the idea of re-imported drugs from Canada to influence your voting choice, you really need to re-think your decision.
The president wants a bill introduced? Make a phone call.
The point is, Kerry doesn't have to make a phone call, he's a Senator - that means he can start a bill any time he wants, and has he started or supported any bills that are important to you?
If he has, and you think that he will continue to do so, then by all means - vote for him. If, however, you review his history and find that he has instead done nothing or voted against issues important to you - vote for someone else.
There was also the mysterious Shadow Square Wire found on the Ringworld that was never fully explained, but it was apparently of a similar construction and could sever just about anything.
I have an older JVC DV camcorder that I bought used off of ebay and I love it. It uses DV tapes, which while more expensive than VHS tapes (4 for $24 is typical), I wouldn't trade them for solid state.
As the parent stated, it's much easier to run to a 24/7 dept. store or convenience store and buy a pack of tapes than it is to try and find a place with a good deal on solid state flash RAM.
A co-worker just borrowed my camcorder to take to Hawaii for his wedding and he shot 37 minutes of video with my camera and a bunch more with his "King of the Toy Cams" (one of those all-plastic flash RAM camcorders like Gateway sells), which by they way, you shouldn't use sunscreen when using one of those cheap cameras, it apparently disolves the plastic and eats the paint right off of it.
It took me exactly 38 minutes to transfer the data to my PC, 1 minute to hook up the firewire cable and get the software running and 37 minutes to transfer the data in real time. It ended up as 7.5 GB of uncompressed AVI, which indicates to me that DV will give me better quality than a flash RAM camera that tries to fit that much time into a 1 GB card.
He tried splicing my cameras video in with his (his camera produces a proprietary.ASF video format that requires a dozen different steps and 5 different software packages to get into something usable) and the video quality difference is drastic, not only does his look pixelated and compressed, but the color and contrast are drastically different, with my camera looking more "real" than his.
Once he got all the video put together into a 1.6 GB compressed.AVI file, I put it onto DVDs for him to send out to his family, all of whom appreciated the video.
The original poster used the phrase "family planning doctor", I am more familiar with the phrase "planned parenthood doctor". Wasn't trying to indirect anything, and I did say what I meant.
Actually the killing of family planning doctors (or more accurately, planned parenthood doctors) is a type of terrorism. They (the activists) are hoping to frighten (and thus TERRORize) the doctors from commiting further acts of what they consider to be unspeakable cruelty and murder.

Actually, about 32.47% of statistics are made up right on the spot.
And 83% of people will believe them, whether they're accurate statistics or not..
Hey, I'm a poet and wasn't aware of the fact!

Does that count?
if you're watching them in order, then this isn't the ending... you're only half-way there...
Not sure if you're calling the poster a homosexual or if you mis-typed the name of the union, which is S.A.G. for Screen Actors Guild.
wow... and if you thought most Americans were ready to nuke the entire middle east on Sept 11, just imagine their reactions on Superbowl Sunday...
Did you play Enter the Matrix?
Did you think, "This would be so much cooler if I could play it with thousands of uber-loser-geeks who are playing from their parent's basement?
If not, then you're probably not the intended target audience.
you could have just stapled it to your head... or used duct tape...
I can tell you from personal experience that a nail gun loaded with brads doesn't work nearly as well as you might think...
It is also a fact that you have failed to account for the non-gutless French. Who do you suppose they would vote for?
In a recent poll of all non-gutless French, both of them said they would vote for Kerry.

If you attach the electrical wires to the genitals you can also increase verbosity, but it sounds more like Turet's Syndrome...
Those are all important items, but does that really make him presidential material?
20 years as a Senator and his greatest accomplishments are naming buildings and awarding medals?

not very... that's why I had to work in a coal mine... as a shovel.

You can get free game pieces, but you are forced to "do something" which usually means you have to submit a SASE to an address.
