Wow. Thanks for sharing. I wouldn't have guessed in a million years that the phrase has anything to do with black people, and in a derogatory way. Chatting on a porch seems like a good thing to me.
How would you fail a test with speaker cables? I assume that you're talking about proving that standard speaker cables conduct electricity, right? How could anybody fail that?
I support your suggestion on revoking, and sunsets.
The comphrehensibility concept is good too, but it would be easy to game if people didn't support it [e.g. "Oh, I don't understand. Whoops! I guess we can't pass the law." etc.]. I'm not saying that it wouldn't work. I'm just saying that I'd like to see implementations tested first. Comprehension is such a huge aspect. Then again, if people didn't support it, and gamed the system, then maybe that is all the information we'd need.
I came up with an idea, just as I read your post. I'd be interested in your feedback.
Maybe a house of commons for representatives of the geograpical people group could represent 49% of the power, and a senate of technical experts would control 51% of the power. The house of commons would represent the people and the lobbyists, so that everything would hopefully be in the open, while the senate would represent people who have experience in the industry which they govern.
Every minister in the house of commons would be offered a pay rate at the election. It would be up to the constituency to name a price. By running in the election, the minister is agreeing to the pay rate for the full term. There shall be no negotiation once the job has been accepted.
Every senator would bid for a job, and the entire country would vote as 1 constituency for who gets the job as minister of foobar. The same would go for every position. The senator would have to campaign on how much he wants to be paid.
I don't mean to be rude, but you definitely misunderstand him. 1 of his points, and the point of others is that the fishermen are required to throw back great fish, just because of the rules.
Well, most fishermen don't work during off-season. If they took only minimum wage jobs during the off-season, then they'd be able to supplement their income. That being said, maybe they have stuff that they need to do during the off-season. Anybody know?
I couldn't find Fort Lewis on that site. There is so much wind a there, and so much open space, that it would be a great place to set up a wind farm. The military could start earning some money.
With open source software, I think that it is a little different. With open source, a lot of volunteers have tried to make something that is truly usable by lots of people. Every time something is released, it is a significant achievement.
So, in my opinion, Ubuntu release parties are nerdy, but they have some value. It could encourage camaraderie, and develop social skills.
It is necessary, because there are new technologies. If the cell phone didn't cause any problems, then there would be no need for rules. The truth is that the driver should be isolated from anything else that could distract him. At the very least, insurance rates should go up to reflect cell phone use. Perhaps a black box approach to cell phone use would deal with most situations.
How do they eat the blackberry leaves without getting pricked? I believe you, but it doesn't make sense, because those thorns are so tough, I think. Don't the goats bleed when coming in contact with the stuff?
I don't know if you did it on purpose or not, but you just made it easier for me to remember the correct spelling. For some reason, "loser" & "looser", are easier to remember.
With particular things that were Cheneyisms (like the White House's treatment of CIA information), that could not have been duplicated under a hypothetical Gore administration. Would I have preferred Gore?
I don't understand. Maybe I misunderstand you. I'm not very familiar with US politics. Under a hypothetical Gore administration, couldn't we have a hypothetical Cheney under his command?
Yes, I did mean mainland China, and not Hong Kong, Macau, or Taiwan.
My friend & his friend showed me their phones, and they had wifi. I'd be surprised if they got it from outside of mainland China. Maybe they got an import or something like that.
I don't know how to flash my N96 with the HK model's product code. I don't know at all how to flash a device.
That is so weird. I thought that it was just Chinese people.
I taught English in China, and I would often ask 2 questions at once, via IM or email. They often respond with only 1 word. I tried to teach a lesson on the proper response. 1 of the classes got the message, and got bored quick. 1 of the other classes just couldn't grasp the concept. I was stunned.
Hmm. I thought that I knew what cooties are, but it turns out that I was wrong. Cooties are body louses. They are little bugs that literally suck our blood. I assume that the solution to that specific problem is to just let the hair sit for a while, so that the bugs die. Also the hair could be used only outside, so that it's harder for the bugs to find something to suck.
As for the chemicals, I kind of wonder about that, too. Hopefully, the chemicals aren't absorbed by plants.
No. I could get around it in some manner, but the idea was to pretend that I was coming up with original content. I believe that some students copy text, but change it a little, hoping that it would be just enough to fool the teacher.:^)

It doesn't work for anybody. We, Canadians, have waiting lists, and people visiting the US.
I can understand how you feel.
That being said, imagine how you'd feel if your questions were met with the same response, every time you disagreed with somebody.

I'm not American.
Ah, yes. That makes more sense: they are testing the sound quality of the cables. Thanks!

I agree. That is within the spirit and letter of the law.

After 2 tries, people still didn't get it. :^D You seem to be very patient considering the circumstances. Good on you.

What if the answer is a number, and he says, "5"?, and if there are 9 other choices? It's not always a choice between 1 thing or the other.
Plus my battery was really old. It would send and receive text messages okay, but it would run out of juice quite quickly when calling.
I don't understand your question or statement. Could you rephrase? Are you trying to make a point?
I don't know if you did it on purpose or not, but you just made it easier for me to remember the correct spelling. For some reason, "loser" & "looser", are easier to remember.
He doesn't even have to mention the same river. His comment discusses the merits of the technology. His comment is extremely relevant.
In my opinion, pigeon protocal is not practical or pragmatic.
