believe it or not, our IS dept looks like a jungle with all the plants. One of the guys is good at keeping plants alive (he just waters the the right amount), so he gets everyone's near dead plant. We do have a rubber tree, btw.
Obviously a dog is going to be by far the best solution. Get a young dog from a local shelter, most even have pictures of available dogs online.
Although traps or guns might sound like a good idea, they'd probably get you into legal problems, and a hightech scare crow would probably end up being more silly than scary.
Uh, guess what age 1/2 the people who obsess over star wars were when ep 4 came out. I'd be willing to bet alot of them/us grew up in the 70s and 80s. Jar Jar isn't any worse than the ewoks were. Heck, he's a better actor than the guy who played aniken in ep 2.
The religious right is simply a tool to gain support. The republicans currently in power use both religion and nationalism to gain favor with a sizable chunk of the population. The situation we have now is exactly why government and religion needs to be kept separate. Dont get me wrong, I think there are some good, honest republicans out there, but they dont mention god in every speech.
The right has been doing the same thing, but for many years. And the right is MUCH better at it. They twist phrases much better than the left. How many of the urban legends spread through email have a left slant? Almost none. Most politcal ones are heavily slanted to the right. It doesnt matter that very few things forwarded through email are true, most people aren't sketical at all and automatically believe them. This isn't even touching the right wing loons like Rush or Coulter. Expect things to get a lot worse in the coming years as the left learns to fight the way the right has been fighting.
As everyone knows, the real problem is waste disposal. The ideal solution would be a safe plant/fuel design that solved the disposal problem and could use up the current high level waste we have now. The lower level stuff is still a politically hot topic, but not near as bad to deal with.
AFAIK, China's in a pretty good situation where they didn't end up building lots of plants while the technology was in it's infancy. If they succeed, then it may convice alot of the population in the US.

The theme of my jr year in highschool english class was banned books. Every book we read was banned somewhere in the US. I respected that quite a bit. I'm not sure if the teacher could get away with that now though.
I'd settle for a log of the day's disk write activity. Just log the process that accessed the disk, what time it did it, and what file it wrote or changed.
From that article: some of the common psychological factors linked to political conservatism include:
* Fear and aggression
* Dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity
* Uncertainty avoidance
* Need for cognitive closure
* Terror management
* Fear and aggression - war. duh... * Dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity - religion and black and white thinking. * Uncertainty avaoidance - republicans arent known for being spontanious, unless it involves combustion (see above). * Need for cognitive closure - I'll leave this open for debate. * Terror management - "better that we bring the war to them, than us bring it to us."
I agree with you that many of the "government programs are hurting instead of helping." The problem with most of the programs that conservatives complain about is that they're either on or off when it comes to benifits. The result is in many cases, the people are better off not getting off the program even if they want to. There should be a safety net, but it needs to be possible to get out of the net after it catches you. Instead of removing or adding new programs, our (paid) congressmen need to be change the programs so that people can improve their lives and get off of the programs gradually.
There are quite a few good republicans in congress. The problem is, those arent the ones making all the noise. Right now, I'd say the best thing that could happen for the country and for the republican party would be for Bush/Cheney to lose in November. Then maybe we'd see some good republicans win the primary in 2008.
I'm guessing that if you hate them both, you probably lean towards the libertarian end of the spectrum (vs the authoritarian end). The problem is, left or right, most candidates tend to be more authoritarian than many in the population.
Sims2 might force a bit more of an upgrade. Id games tend to be very well written, while the first sims was a buggy mess of a game. Simcity isn't much better. So I'm guessing that the sims2 will probably require a fair bit more horsepower than doom3 will. The sims2 will probably outsell both HL2 and doom3 combined, so I'm sure the vid card companies will be thanking pre-teen girls this time around.

One good thing about lucus "fixing" ep4-6 is that he might fix ep1-3 in the future. Fix number one: Anikan poops first (before going on set).

If you overclock it, does that mean your mp3s all start to sound ike Alvin and the Chipmunks?
Wait - what happens to the Chipmunk mp3s?
They sing backwards

The problem is he went up against a pretty popular president, one that's still popular, even with the scandal.

Based on the name of the site, asking planetdoom about doom3 would probably be like asking a baptist about jesus. You won't get an objective answer.
I used to work in a shop that had a simm tester as well. I stopped trusting it when it passed a stick of memory that tested bad using a software test.
Why type when you can just point and click?
I point at putty, then click twice on putty really fast. After selecting a server, I type.
