let me clarify it for you then, half-wit. 2 things, 1 concept. apparently, things have to be specifically spelt out for you since you obviously can't grasp what I'm talking about. you're splitting hairs: memes? genes? don't mean shit. once they're committed to terrorism, they dead meat in my book, no matter what they look like.
as the original poster said, why are we screening 70 yr old white-haired grandma's? out of sheer fucking stupidity. but then we have to do that because otherwise "we'd be discriminating". bullshit. there's only one thing we're screening for right now and that's for terrorists. if it was such a big deal before, they'd have been screening for other mofo's but they haven't been. so their actions belie their words. I can think of at least 5 different weapons I can carry on board without being detected. Will it enable me to get into the cockpit? Not unless the pilot is dumb enough to come out of their. Let the passengers take care of the problem while the pilot flies the plane to safety, even if some passengers get hurt.
Try thinking about the problem and maybe you just might contribute a solution.
you've got it wrong. put down your 2nd year Psych textbook and quit spouting all the high-sounding language like you're an intellectual. understand 1 thing:
-we would leave them in peace -they don't want to leave us alone
the terrorists want to kill all the other people in the world that don't agree with their brand of radicalism (99% of the world?). we just want to kill the terrorist motherfuckers (less than 1% of the world). we were willing to let them live but they won't leave us in peace.
therefore, we are justified in our need to protect ourselves. if I found someone breaking into my house, where I live with my wife and baby daughter, I ain't giving them a Get-Out-Of-Jail FREE card. they made that choice, now they're paying the price.
1 dead terrorist = 1 less scumbag polluting the gene pool
as an Anonymous Coward, you're assuming that the product improvement is just an extension. if the product itself has been improved significantly, but the basic design has not changed, it's obvious that the patent still applies to the old design also.
you obviously don't know a whole lot about records.
Doctors dental records in Texas
www.tsbme.state.tx.us
go there and review the disciplinary records of doctors. some are private agreements for minor fsckups. most are public for screwing the public
you can also go check on your dentist in Texas at www.tsbde.state.tx.us
my dentist was shocked when I asked him about the complaint that had been filed against him, wondered how I knew about it. (I did the initial install/setup 6 yrs ago):) when the real story of the complaint filed against him came out, we had a good laugh about it.
- sell your customer base to a couple of neighborhood kids after your summer is over and you move off to college
- think of it as your last chance to to get proper exercise. once you start sitting in front of a terminal, you magically start gaining pounds. and it ain't cause of the cheezy poofs!
14-odd years? yeah right. what usually happens is that the company then makes an incremental but substantial enough improvement to the basic patent which then qualifies it for a brand new patent which then extends ANOTHER 14 years.
well, if she was laying down and had a whole mound of them poured over her, he could right to the licking and eating of the candy:)

After reviewing other responses to your post, I found that no one had even mentioned that some of the questions asked are illegal. I don't mean that you have a choice to answer them, I mean the people asking those questions could get in seriously deep shite for even asking them. That means that your friend could easily have sued the company and gotten money. At the very least, he needs to report this behavior to the HR department of that company and tell them that if something is not done (whether it be a written apology, hiring him, or firing of the interviewers) then you will be reporting the incident to the state agency responsible for prosecuting this type of activity.
That kind of crap does NOT have to be put up with.
CTS is a real problem. I experience it myself a bit unless I am using a gel wristrest, the foam ones don't cut it for me. And my wife also experienced it to.
RSI is also an actual problem. Try doing physical repetitive labor that allows no variation for changes in range of motion and you'll never disbelieve someone else's complaints ever again.
correction: It's not hard to open an Ethiopian restaurant in the bar-b-que belt where I live (Austin, TX).
The problem is actually getting people to go there time after time so that the restaurant will make money and stay open. Austin is extremely liberal but we have a lot of "funky" and "off-the-wall" local restaurants already. Personally, I love Ethiopian food. When I was visiting Chicago 4 years ago, I made it a point to get to Mama Desta's Red Sea restaurant. Growing up overseas in a military family exposes you to a lot.
Most of the slobs in America that never want to try anything are people that have never travelled anywhere. And, NO, crossing the state line to visit Oklahoma City or Nuevo Laredo does NOT count as travelling-to-expand-your-horizons.
Back in '95, I actually got NT4 to run on a 486DX50 with 8MB RAM (or was it 4?). Anyway, the system would actually boot and run but I never could get it to shut down as it always ran out of memory trying to shut down. either way, the amount of RAM spec'd by M$ was more than what I had installed. when I added RAM it shutdown properly; pulled it out, didn't shut down.

"Oh, George, you can't do no wrong! Oh..Oh..Oh! Let me have my refund big boy! That's right, give it to me! I'll be your whore and vote for you!"
as opposed to a King Dubya Republican handing out tax-refund/loophole largesse to his rich buddies while screwing the common working man? in other words, treating you like a serf....
as a military dependent, I grew up in Europe with all the cool toys, including wooden blocks and legos and handmade toys.
do you make the blocks with letters on them and paint them? or do you make plain blocks? you have a website that shows how to make them, including plans and wood recommendations?
as a childrens store owner, I can tell you that people just don't buy their kids these types of toys anymore unless they really care for them. they think all kids have to have electronic stuff. hell, my best friend's kid got the latest Gameboy Advance, from his parents, 6 months ago, WHEN HE TURNED 5 yrs old. and that was to replace an earlier edition of a Gameboy the kid already had.
Americans are breeding a new generation of complacent lazy non-creative type kids. and they wonder why we can't compete any more?
Why then are people submitting this crap here, and why are the editors approving it?
Because, you shithead, people are not asking for legal advice here, they are asking for life experience. You forget how many people read/. every day (several hundred thousand?). Out of all the readers of a particular post, there will usually be at least several who have experienced what the poster is requesting info for. A lawyer doesn't know EVERY single piece of case law, just like a doctor is not aware of EVERY mode of treatment for a disease, especially a rare disease. If you can get an idea, or legal angle, from/. to present to your lawyer who can then research it and say "I never heard of that one but it's right here in the book", then you've saved yourself time and money and can now proceed with more confidence in your case.
So, you piss-ant AC, SHUT THE FUCK UP and learn to read between the lines.
I'm thinking it'll be more like the 'Hyperion' series of novels by Dan Simmons. Where the artificial intelligences use our brain power to exist and compute when we transfer locations thru the network.
the point is though that you shouldn't have to go thru this bullshit monkey-shine routine everytime you go thru security. forcing this only makes the terrorists more inventive in finding a way around security that can't be detected. I can think of at least 5 different ways to get a weapon around security, LEGALLY, and they would never know I did it.
Lucky you. If you had gone to school back in the mid to late 80's there would have been no large paycheck every couple of weeks for you.
I worked for 20-30 hrs/wk when minimum wage was $3.35/hr. You couldn't get a better paying job than that unless you went full time. You could make $6/hr cleaning out and loading trucks at UPS if you could be there at 4am and busted your ass for 4 hours (and all those jobs were taken by local kids not going to college). All you kids in school nowadays that make about $7-8/hr just standing there at the cash register are lucky. Some of us know what it means to make $60/wk after taxes, then have to pay for rent, heat, water, groceries. If was lucky, I had a few extra dollars for a 6pk of cheap beer every week. And that was after eating a lot of Ramen, spaghetti, rice, and pasta (things that are cheap and easy to make). Whenever I went home (1000 miles) on break, my parents filled up my $500 beater with groceries that lasted about a month. Shit, one time I went 1-1/2 days without eating because I had no money (previous paycheck was quite smaller than usual), no food in the cupboard, and didn't get my paycheck until the next day. And then during the summer I had to work my ass off, if I could find a job in those economic times, to make enough money to pay my share of the tuition for the fall semester.
College students today have no idea what economics is like in the real world, whining and crying about the state school that just raised their tuition to $3000-4000/semester.
Am I bitter? No. But college students today have it comparatively easier than I did with larger paychecks and lower interest rates on loans.
