Support the War in Iraq or not, we went there under bad intellegence (WMD, Al-Quaida link). That means that either a) Our intel agencies are horridly inept and incompetent, or b)We were lied to. Both of these warrant a new president, either through elections or impeachment.
Or c) we had the correct intel and ignored it. Because W and dick want that oil.
Hey! You stole my sig!;-> And I am glad! It is my favorite quote for these political times and when you get accused of being un-American if you dissent against a regime that is headed towards facism.
The secret service did indeed try to get him out... but for some reason, he stayed, for a lot longer than 7 minutes. Please read this: url:http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/time line/ma in/essayaninterestingday.html
It documents what the POTUS did on that day pretty clearly and references many sources. Micheal Moore was kind compared to the actual events.
The VP isn't authorized to shoot down commercial aircraft. All Dick could do was twiddle his thumbs and wonder where The POTUS was. Read Richard Clark's book, he tells exactly what happened that day from inside the White House. And if you think he is a Leftist dissenter, keep in mind that he served under Reagan and Bush H.W. too. The Right wants you to believe this because he exposes how unprepared the White House really was, even though they had been warned. The POTUS's 7 minutes that Moore refers to in his movie is nothing compared to the truth. NORAD knew of the first hijacking and thus so did the POTUS, and still he went into that classroom for a PHOTO OP. Then even after being alerted to the 2nd and that the country was under attack, he still did nothing. Not for 7 minutes, but far longer. Here is a well researched timeline of what happened that day and wht the POTUS did and DIDN'T do. http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/timeline/m ain/e ssayaninterestingday.html
You decide. (if you haven't made up your mind already)
Perhaps you should read this. http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/timeline /main/e ssayaninterestingday.html 7 minutes is only what was on the film of that photo op. Chances are Bush knew the moment the first plane hit. If his staff didn't alert him, they should be fired. After the Photo Op with the kids Bush continued to linger at the school still not asking questions and not DOING anything related to leading our country while it was being attacked. Only stating that he woulld make a statement later. Now, there are some that will say that his staff could manage the situation and he didn't have to react. I say this... ONLY THE POTUS CAN GIVE THE ORDER TO SHOOT DOWN COMMERCIAL AIRLINES.
He at least needed to be elsewhere when it was all going on so he could get info and make some decisions, or do ANYTHING at all.
To me, this was the most alarming part of the movie and the most illuminating evidence of how poor a leader W really is... And if it wasn't poor leadership, then he obviously knew what was going on and was waiting for it to be over so he could then swoop in and be our saviour.
This act (or failure to act) deserves further investigation.
I got the beta version about a month ago and have been using it for some time. Since then I have noted that that "ikernel.exe" has been corrupted and I can't install anything. [been all over the MS help pages as well as 'installshield's', to no avail]. Also, I can't seam to search my hard drive [right click (C drive) > search > nothing happens ] Highly annoying, and even our sysadmin couldn't get it going. Anyone else experiencing this?
Hmmm... I am not sure if running is the trigger. He is gonna poop regardless, but sometimes he runs faster after that bit of business is taken care of.
Re:#4 >a. data is not protected against alteration
You can protect data. Just lock the cells and protect the sheet with a password only you know.
b. formulas are not protected against alteration
See above.
Using XL to manipulate data that I pull from a DB is probably the the coolest thing M$ has ever given us. Spreadsheets are more powerful than most imagine when used this way. (or for dungeons and Dragons Character Sheets;->)

Yes... another good example would be the Bionic Man in Handcuffs. His right arm is Bionic and very strong, his left arm is just a regular arm. He begins to pull with his Bionic arm. Which can withstand more tension? The handcuffs or his shoulder socket? You do the math.
This always bothered about that show. That and when the Bionic woman used her hearing, there was this pulsing noise. How could she hear anything over that racket?
In tTT extended version, Merry and Pippen both quaff quite a bit of Ent draught, resulting in them growing a good 6 inches each. Yet, in RotK they are back to being of similar height relative to the other hobbits, Sam and Frodo. Did Pete film 2 versions of RotK? One with a bigger Merry and Pippen and one with them normal sized?

I worked in a bar in Alabama a few times (Roadie for a hippy band). I forget the name of the place, but the tradition was that when you finished your bottle of beer, you just threw it on the floor. This made for a wonderful time of packing up the gear and cables. They were all coated with a sticky slime of beer, vomit and broken glass. My favorite joke was "I saw a guy wearing flip-flops in there once. You know what he was doing? BLEEDING" I think this place was in Tuscaloosa, but can't be sure, things were much 'smokier' back then.;-]
Investing in a house was definitely the best thing I have ever done monetarily. Bought a townhouse in NoVa 4 years ago and the property value has almost doubled. If a subway/metro line goes in nearby (still in deliberations). I am sure it will triple. Bottom line...if you can do it, do it soon. the real estate market is out of control right now. Well, in Northern Virginia anyway. Good luck!
I have given up on the ROCK/POP genre all together. Classical is the way to go (god, I sound old) but you can go to http://www.secondspin.com and get GOOD classical discs for $1.99 each.
I like the music, it is all new to me, it is all technically and melodically good and VERY cheap. [I bought 9 CDs for less than $30, including shipping, you just can't beat that]
I suggest we all adapt this philosophy and we can all "F" the RIAA, cause we all know they deserve it!;->
Some Music Suggestions
TOOL; Heavy, but very much like Floyd IMHO.
Queens of the Stone Age; Not as heavy, but along those (Floyd, Stones) lines as well.
foo fighters; Just good rock and roll!
Pearl Jam; See foo fighers above.
None of these are new, and chances are you have heard them before.

Let's get irrelavant and uniformed people to bitch about politics on a site that should be about technology and geekhood.
I think you took a wrong turn... this is: http://politics.slashdot.org
I disagree that this section is silly... it keeps all the politics OFF the Tech site.(hopefully)

I wrote Santa and asked for a pussy.
Stan:I want to be a woman... from now on I want you all to call me Loretta.
Reg: What???
Loretta: It's my right as a man.
Judith: Well why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
Loretta: I want to have babies.
Reg: You want to have babies?
Loretta: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
Reg;: But you can't have babies.
Loretta:Don't you oppress me.
Reg: I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb. Where's the fetis going to gestate? You going to keep it in a box?
