Courts have ruled that users do not have a reasonable expectation that the numbers they dial on their phone line will remain private (basicaly because they show up on the bill) but that they do have a reasonable expectation that nobody is listening in.
I'm waiting for the day some rogue phone company employee dumps a database of all the congresscritters' personal phone activity on to the internet for public scrutiny.
My next project is to create a Ship Inspecting Robot Retrieval Robot (SIRRR), to go in and fetch disabled SIRs, or SIRs with prematurely run down batteries. Of course, I'll also build a SIRRRRR, in case SIRRRs become disabled.
They didn't refuse the vaccines because of a religious belief. For all we know, horrible media coverage and some talk show appearance by Jenny McCarthy may have been what finally pushed them into the decision not to get vaccinated.
The NTSB isn't targeting eating, or car stereos (with fancy graphic equalizers that allow you to remix the songs while you are driving), or talkative passengers, so I can come to only one conclusion: Allowing the driver to talk is apparently what makes cell phones so dangerous.
It is reasonable then to suggest that, rather than banning cell phones, we should require ball-gags as standard equipment in a motor vehicles. Police should the enforce the use of these new devices, and issue tickets to drivers that fail to use them.
In my youth, I discovered that an acetylene torch and a couple of balloons could provide about as big a boom as you'd probably need. I'd fill a balloon with 1/2 acetylene and 1/2 O2, then put some kind of fuse on the balloon, light it, and run.
So the entire video was 45 seconds long, of which about 10-15 seconds seemed to be the actual earthquake. Isn't "the Big One" (in my state of California) supposed to be somewhere about 5-7 minutes?
Also, did their model include refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, and all the other stuff that would be loaded into such a building? Or did they build an empty box and call it a "condo".
The US only recognized domestic copyrights until 1891. Prior to that, foreign works were considered public domain. Mark Twain became a US citizen to protect his writings and lobbied for the International Copright Act.
Wait, Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) was born in Missouri.
No. Local telephone exchanges used to be identified by the first two digits of the phone number, and they used mnemonics to remember the exchanges. For example, in the area I grew up in, in Los Angeles, our phone number was YUkon 7-####. One of the exchanges I saw advertised on TV a lot was STate.
It used to be handy because you could remember which exchanges were local to your home exchange, and weren't toll calls.
My parents knew someone on the inside of the phone company at the time that they dropped the letters for exchanges, and one of the discussions management had was how much more money they were going to make from toll calls because people wouldn't be able to remember the local exchanges as easily as before.

I'll make a fortune!
You must have carried that analogy in here with a forklift.
Toyota's response to the stuck throttle problem: "Next years model will accelerate faster and have a top speed of 250 MPH."
This sucks. Now I'm going to have to mug someone to get the cash for a DRSC equipped phone and a medallion.
I'll finish this comment right after I check the message I just got on my ph

I have some test sheets that should do the job for you.
I'll scan them and send you the images.
I've thought they should split routes into two segments for a long time: MWF, and TRS.
I'm not sure I'm ready to drive down to Radio Shack just to get my mail.
I waved goodby to a coworker and the server deleted the entire Users directory.
3.3 meters is equal to about 2 mobsters, or 4 tommy guns.
So, I guess that what you are saying is that the poster of the GP just caused himself a metric shit-ton of trouble.
What's the difference between a violin and a viola?
The viola burns longer.
The viola holds more beer.
You can tune the violin.
I'd expect a prosthetic bird.
It's worth two in the prosthetic bush, after all.

What if we find out all they ever say is "Swim swim hungry, swim swim hungry"?
the news is promising if in fact it will bring more information to the information-starved masses of North Korea."
Ha ha ha ha! No, stop please. You're killing me.

This is great, but mark my words, when we run out of oxygen we'll have to begin the hunt for yet another power source all over again.
