If you used hydraulic principles, you could in effect "gear down" the high pressure, resulting in high-torque that could drive over-size wheels, similar to the way that a hydraulic lift works. It's a rocket, not a car.

no, no, no. You've got it wrong. It will be inciteful.
How can a constitutional amendment be unconstitutional? When it is ratified, it becomes a part of the constitution. It overwrites parts of the constitution which are outdated by the new amendment.
Of course, the Supreme Court could interpret it differently and declare it unconstitutional; they can interpret the Constitution however they like. The Constitution says so. (man, does that ever fuck with your head!)
That's very true. It's just that his/her choice of things to give them were not entirely useful. There were much more needed things, such as, like you said, clothes, tools, etc.
First of all, 6,000 x 100,000 is not 600,000. It's 600,000,000; 600 million. Killing that many would surely start World War III and is definately overkill. six hundred million must pay for the evil of roughly a few hundred men?
And exactly why are American lives worth 100,000 times more than Afghanis?

I should have no reason to hide what I write? Even if it's illegal to do a trivial thing, and the government is likely watching me?
There's nothing stopping them from illegalizing the most trivial of things. They could even have amendments erasing the Bill of Rights if they wanted to. Just because 19% of the population voted for the congressional majority. Just look at the drug war. Look at the censorship laws that already exist, and look at those Joe Lieberman would like to pass, along with a lot of Congress. Look at the draft. There are many more uses for privacy than attacking others.
The government has certainly done it before. The Alien-Sedition Acts, the McCarthy hearings, etc.
My guess is that it isn't the media; it's the government giving him 10 years in prison and a $500,000 fine when they catch him for violating UN sanctions.
Sure, you think that they'll only punish the worst criminals, but how do you know? Not only will this will pave the way for future abuse of our rights, but if we give them the ability to watch for crime, I only expect they will trample the simplest of liberties. I say the potential risk is far worse than the potential gain.
If this passes, I think we will officially be home to Big Brother.
True enough, but this is much, much more incredible. You need broadband to get streaming audio of high quality. This guy is not only getting that over a 28.8, but he's getting VIDEO to boot! That's just an incredible leap in technology.
And it's not censoring. People can choose to see what you wrote if they read at 1 in your case. It's just that there are 400 comments and it's hard to sift through them all to find the 3 truly insightful comments.
And who's to say anticapitalists or anarchists can not be rational? Did rational thought rise out of capitalism and government?
download the next style automatically instead of buying new clothes
You're kidding me. You're letting some commercial tell you what to buy instead of getting what appeals to you? As soon as the commercial tells you that your clothes aren't good anymore (but last year they were a necessity), the clothes suddenly go from good to bad? What changed from last year?
Actually, the article seems to point out that QWERTY is inefficient in a computer and was only developed so that the most common letter pairs were far apart to not hit each other. It says the "Dvorak" keyboard is much more efficient but QWERTY remains a standard.
Good points. The smaller class size works in theory. What happens is that when the class sizes are lowered, the school must hire new teachers. Very often, these teachers are incompetant. We had two math teachers for geometry. I was stuck with the idiot. Everyone in the class wanted to switch into the better teachers class, but the small class size prevented it. Of course, if we also followed #2, we wouldn't have the idiot teacher.
In New York, technology start-up Sensatex Inc. hopes to roll out an athletic T-shirt that will monitor heart rate, track body temperature and respiration and count how many calories the wearer is burning. It could even warn of a potential heart attack or heat prostration. Such a shirt might have prevented the recent death from heatstroke of football player Korey Stringer, the company says.
Korey Stringer was well aware that he was very exhausted. He vomited several times during the practice the day before he died. He was pushing himself to beyond his limits and he knew it. A special shirt wouldn't have helped anything.

Then why are we attacking Afghanistan, when most of the al-Quadians (that might be correct...) are Saudis?
Why would anyone want to get sued?
That is what we call a "sig", appended to the end of comments you post, 120 chars. It has nothing to do with the previous material.
Or send it by every both to be sure. Hell, how about more: fax, phone, anything else you can think of.
Actually, Intel beats AMD there. (price per performance) You're thinking of performance/price (performance per price).

Materialism like TV, jewelry, and McDonalds really doesn't have anything to do with comfort or security.

Hey, when I try to install over my old partition, the installation quits. I've looked, but I can't find anything on how to get around it.

Well, an AC comment since it starts at 0, can only be moderated down by 1. On the other hand, it can be moderated up by 5.

IANAL.
