I thought air superiority was useful in sinking the Bismark and the Yamato, however, I'm sure the Luftwaffe was no match for the much superior ships of the Royal Navy.
If I were running a train system, I think it might be a tad more efficient not to switch locomotives at every point where the track ownership changes. I might find a way to make passenger rail service not suck quite so much, probably easier than putting a man on Mars.
The only thing worth preserving is the part that has not yet been ruined by people. Paramount is the stinking swamp where the bugs come from. Money seems to trump any concerns over the viability of life beyond next quarter. YMMV, I prefer a planetary to a monetary perspective.
I haven't run anti-virus since '99 or so, and once I trained the kid how not to click pop-ups and stuff when he's surfing porn, I quit having to format and re-install the OS. It's all about which sites one visits.
I'm using my last gallon of real alkyd paint to do the kitchen walls. Next time if I don't want to use latex paint, I will have to smuggle my product in from Nevada.

I have always assumed that any chip available to the tax-payers would have remote command-and-control built into it, (for public safety). The price of Freedom is Eternal Vigilance.-The NSA never sleeps.
I sure hated when they deprecated my old SETI account, I was just about to earn a new (100,000 unit) certificate. bastards. see ifn I bother to install the new program.

Historically, a beat cop's job was to go around and black-jack the thugs into the shadows and make the street safer for the tax-payers. Somehow a confluence of enforcing numerous new laws and civil-rights lawyers for the unlicensed thugs has made actual public service a lower priority; A pretext now, actually- if crime rates continue to fall, expect new laws to criminalize more of the tax-payer class as they are much safer and more convenient to arrest and incarcerate than professional felons.
If you'd read the articles instead of just shoot from the hip, you'd know.
Yes, they torture one rat, if you define "trap the rat in a small clear tube long enough that they might pee from the mental stresses of discovering they're trapped" as torture.
If you'd read the other article, (Sorry, I couldn't read past the part where they mentioned painful chemical injections.) then you might, indeed, define this as torture. Or not. As I said, I didn't actually complete that.
The first thing I thought of was the Military chopping bits off other country's satellites, and then a maybe Star Trek episode with a rogue robot wandering the galaxy cannibalizing stray hardware, slow-moving starships, &c.
We called semiconductor devices solid state for a reason. A lot of players are satisfied with a vacuum-tube preamp, and I can't discern any defects in my friend's digital emulation of divers tones. Tubes deteriorate with heat and age, but I think that the Russians plan to continue making new ones. I have only my Super Beatle, but if I could afford new, I'd go with tubes for purely irrational reasons.
I was a precinct inspector in November, 2008, and was really stretched trying to accomodate the needs of all the first-time (and probably last-time) voters. Another thing, that you didn't mention, go and observe a few criminal trials to see the state of your local judiciary. (Efficiency and expediency seem to be the priority in most jurisdictions that I've witnessed, and several judges have ejected me for sitting quietly and watching, rather suspicious methinks.)
I spent a couple of hours today trying to research PERF, and find out their corporate sponsors. Motorola and TASER intl. were the only ones I could find, aside from, of course, our tax dollars. I tend to want to follow the money when I start seeing Think Tank propaganda being cited in National "News" stories, and I found their website's lack of disclosure rather disconcerting. Has anyone any leads on them? Funny how they were formed in 1976, about the same time that our government took the gloves off in the war against the people.

I always thought decimate meant one tenth of the legion was killed. must. learn. English.

Awful nice of Jeff Rense to promote Lawrence Britt to "Dr."
I want "Prof.", I'll write something too.

Right-oh. I couldn't remember that name when I posted.

Let's see a comparison of the People's trust of our "Elected" Leaders versus our self-appointed Federal Reserve Board.
aren't weak faults the cracks which duct the cocktail into the water table?
I would modestly propose Nationalization of the Federal Reserve, as they seem to keep turning up at the various crime scenes.

Hey, thanks for the ustream link. It's been highly entertaining what with the battery drama/D.O.S. attack &c.
I wonder when the hammer's coming down.

Another Marvel character, I thought.
... and can't.
'Twas probably the teen-age punk from next door, hiding in the shrubbery with Dad's old pipe.
Maybe someone could sponsor a bill making it explicitly legal and protecting our RIGHT to record our "public servants" at "work". ...ROTFL
