Paper: a (1) : a felted sheet of usually vegetable fibers laid down on a fine screen from a water suspension (2) : a similar sheet of other material (as plastic)
Cotton fibers are still "vegetable fibers", so yes, US notes are made of paper.
It's called the War Powers Resolution for a reason... it was a resolution, of Congress... which does not have the signature of a President... it was not vetoed... or even pocket vetoed... because it was never presented to a President for his signature... preventing any possibility of a veto override.
As much as I loathe this President... I do have to give him credit for standing up against the WPA... it’s a shame he’s not competent enough to recognize the reality of the WPA and state it... rather than playing these games.
Wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong.
It passed the House on July 18, 1973. It passed the Senate on July 20, 1973. President Nixon vetoed it on October 24, 1973. His veto was overridden by the Senate on November 7, 1973. Thus immediately the bill became law, without the need for Nixon's signature. And this is a high resolution scan of the final bill.
Soviet prisoner #1: So how long is your sentence? Soviet prisoner #2: 10 years. Soviet prisoner #1: What did you do? Soviet prisoner #2: Nothing. Soviet prisoner #1: You liar! "Nothing" gets you 20 years under the PATRIOT ACT.
Being 12 year old, I find this entire discussion incredibly discriminating. It's bad enough that I'm subjected to taxation without representation, but now mandatory censorship?
I'd like to remind you adults out there that the goatex guy and goatex posters are "adults", as are most child pornographers. Maybe it's better to perform censorship on the production end by licensing and regulating the ownership of cameras.
I, for one, do not want to have to explain to some thugtastic DEA jackboots that "hash-based currency" can be acquired by legitimately doing a bunch of math, as well as by other means...
Bitcoins are made of weed? Does the President know about this yet?

My shirt is woven. No water was used during its production.
Let's hope they don't fly too close to the sun again.
worn out banknotes are put into landfill
Do they shred them first? Or should I go get my shovel now?

Bittorrent and uTorrent are sued for using techniques in their clients and the bittorrent protocol
I'm constantly using this technique called "breathing". Please don't sue me.
After the EMP bombs all go off, people will be searching for water, food, shelter, and weapons. They won't be searching for chunks of dead trees.
For absolute hilarity, imagine slashdot editors delivering groceries.

How long until they divide into two camps and fight to the death over whether kilo = 1000 or 1024?

Soviet prisoner #1: What did you do?
Soviet prisoner #2: Nothing.

the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico
What the heck is that?
*googles it*
Ohhhh, why didn't you just say "the dish thingy from GoldenEye"?
then mysteriously wake up in a bathtub full of ice...
With his iNtestines, iRis, iSchium, and iNcus missing?
Why is this marked "offtopic"?
I personally found it hilarious. A VOIP company telling you to "call our technical support number" if your VOIP phone isn't working.
Income tax as well.
Throwing a tantrum and yelling "I'm only 12 years old!" doesn't work on the IRS.
Trust me, I tried it.
Well done, detective Sherlock. Very well done.
You have successfully detected the sarcasm in my language.

What's the news, exactly?
Florian Mueller is getting rich from from spreading FUD.
That's the only piece of solid fact that I got out of TFA.
I hope the EM waves don't disrupt any US networks, because then DoD would consider that a cyber attack and retaliate with thermonuclear weapons.
Is it sensitive enough to also detect cannabis?
Yes, that would be why the joke is funny.
The other day I saw two gentlemen exchanging stolen merchandise for narcotics. Why hasn't goods and merchandise been banned yet?

My wife shot bin Laden in the left eye. What's your point?
The solution is obvious then.
Lock those pesky kids in school 24/7.
That's because NASA employees are much more competent.
Try imagining slashdot editors launching space shuttles.
