The JibJab video takes every value that the original "This Land is My Land" enshrines and corrupts them to mean the opposite.
Are you sure about that? Try reading the lyrics, and perhaps This Post. Now, do you still stand by your original perception of the values enshrined in "This Land is My Land"?
In fact, there's too much food in the world, a fact which is most easily seen by its effect: global population is growing.
Elementary studies show that if you supply a population with enough food to support 100 members, it will maintain a population of 100 for many generations. If you consistently supply 110% of the population's food needs, it will consistently grow until the environment is overpopulated and some members can no longer access the food source. Many starve while food goes to waste.
The ad in the sidebar has an eyechart that reads "PORN SPYWARE INSTANTMESSAGING BANDWIDTH MALICIOUS MOBILECODE INTER..." with a little lens magnifying "P2P".

Not only this, but ending prohibition will also decrease drug fatalities. According to DEA figures from the early 90s, cocaine and heroin on the street range in purity from 32% to 90%. The remaining 10-68% consists of anything from benign baking soda to deadly poisonous cleaning chemicals. The unknown quality and potency of these drugs accounts for nearly all unintentional drug overdoses.
If these drugs were legalized, the potency would be listed on the package, much like alcohol or any prescription drug. This would allow users to regulate their dosage so as not to become abusers or dead.
No, I lauded Borland for already bringing the development community a solid (and partially free) tool for use under Windows.
Ah... you mean one of the few C++ compilers that actually has worse standards compliance than VC++ 6.0?
And the worst IDE I've ever had the displeasure of using. Borland was good in DOS; I abandonded their products long before they got the hang of writing apps for Windows. Did they ever? I think the last version I used was 6.0, and it was on par with coding in notepad -- not because of a lack of features, but because the bad features nullified the useful ones.
I don't know about most people, but I went to college to get an education. I love learning. The few people I knew who were there only as a precursor to making oodles of money made me sick.
Depending on a few factors, such as sources & amount of income, # of dependents, and the complexity of your return, most people can file for free on the web. Just go to The IRS and follow the "Free e-File" link trail. I used TaxAct.com this year. It's completely free for everyone, very detailed, very easy to use.
The restrictions may make more sense if you consider that most students are charged a flat fee for rent & utilities living in the dorms. More things pulling electricity means a higher cost of utilities.
Even more importantly, consider that when most dorms were built, students were plugging in maybe a lamp & a radio. The wiring is simply not up to the task of powering high-current devices like heating elements & refrigerators in addition to students' personal computers, monitors, printers, high-power stereos, etc.
In an actual crucifixion, the legs were bent at the knees to some degree before being nailed to the wood. When the cross was raised, you had two options:
Straighten your legs, relieving the pressure on your wrists while placing your entire body weight on the spike in your feet.
Relax your legs, relieving the pressure on your feet while placing your entire body weight on the spikes in your wrists.
There is really no middle ground left between the two extremes.
Each time your body weight is shifted, your wounds reopen and you lose a little more blood. You are exposed to sun, wind, and stinging sand. Death by crucifixion actually comes about as a result of suffocation. When you become too exhausted to struggle any longer, your head drops, closing your throat to air.
I know of at least three Thai restaurants within walking distance of my house -- one of which is a block away. SuperPages found one; local.google.com found four, including the three I already knew, but not including the one found by SuperPages.
Feature I wish was added to local.google.com: sort fields. Distance or alphabetic order would be much more useful than relevance in this particular situation.
I assigned daily homework, deciding whether or not to
take it up on the basis of a coin flip at the end of class
Imagine you're in statistics class, having just listened to the lecture. The professor assigns homework for the day's lesson. Then he flips a coin to decide whether to collect the previous day's homework.
Short form: homework every day, collect & grade homework < 50% of days.
2. Peds have different reactions when provoked. Try it, walk up and whack one with a fist or hand weapon. Some try to beat you up. Some will try if you hit them in the car or if you cause an explosion nearby and hit them with splash damage.
Also some peds are valiant and will start fighting you when you're in the middle of a fight with another ped.
Try pointing with your eyes instead of your finger. Your dog doesn't understand what pointing means. Unless you have a retriever/pointer, and even then, they point with their nose.
Then, think about how dumb your dog thinks you are when you won't perform what seems to him like a perfectly obvious command.
In Gaiman's Sandman series (I forget which book exactly), a character spoke of the behaviour of a parliament of rooks. A whole load of rooks will gather in a field, encircling one of their number, who will 'speak' at some length. When he finishes, the rest of the parliament, as one, will either take off in flight or descend on the speaker and kill him dead.
If i walked up to your door, rung the bell and asked if I could install a really cool appliance in your house, but wouldn't tell you what it was, or you had no idea what it was...
I'd rather just pay a little bit extra (or maybe even a bit less, plus a smidge of extra effort) to buy meat from a ranch that takes good enough care of their cows that they don't get sick very often. A ranch like this is also more likely to notice if a cow does get sick, and take care of it.
You can make this decision too: "I won't eat animals that were raised in a box." Your food comes from living things, have some respect for it.
we regularly get calls... where the people actually went to our website, typed in their credit card number... then FORGOT THEY DID IT!
Those people come in four categories:
Those actualy affected by credit card fraud/theft (Yes, this does happen. I once found one of my credit cards maxed out with charges to an online bookie service, and I've never so much as put money in an office football pool.)
Children who've stolen their parents' credit card
Spouses who haven't communicated with each other about their online purchases
Those who changed their mind about spending money on your service/product and figure lying is the easiest or most effective way out of paying.

But it obviously can spread through carriers (fleas on rats) just like it did in the good old days.
I'm sure every once in a while, some kid encounters an abandoned well and kicks up some plague fleas. Or something similar.
Yes, poor sanitation allows the plague bacteria to linger. But the labs put it there in the first place. Blame who you will.

Clearly, an enormous problem.

It's pretty horrible.
They had this in Florida 2000. Ballots not marked Bush/Cheney were summarily discarded.

If only, if only GTA3 had multiplayer -- then it would be a better game than GTA the original.
I played single-player GTA maybe 1-2% of my total playing time.

Seen on a conservative-funded billboard on I-5 in Washington:
"Politicians and diapers need changing for the same reason."
You do realize that death is a very important (perhaps the most important) part of life?
If you want to be safe all the time, everywhere you go, I have lost all hope for you. Without risk, reward is meaningless.
