Why not start a 500cc bolus of NS running so you can increase their BP and keep your access, then mix up the freeze-dried blood and piggy-back it onto the NS?
There are many DHS agencies that have a tangental role at best when it comes to "Catching Terrorists". FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency doesn't catch JACK - they pick up the pieces afterward. Several former Department of Agriculture organizations are now in DHS; while surveillance of the food supply for signs of bioterrorism is certainly one of their job functions, it's certainly not what they do all day.

RTFQ (read the freakin quote)! She doesn't say that women arren't affected by such pictures, she's says that they aren't affected in the SAME WAY. In other words, straight women aren't distracted by thoughts of the various ways they'd like to get to know the models; that there may be some envy over body type is irrelevant.
While it does provide "partial functionality," I see my wired remote as a fantastic insurance policy. I'm a bike commuter, and I've already destroyed one ipod by having it fall off of my belt while I was cruising along at 24km/h. With the wired remote I can select my playlist and stash my iPod safely in my messenger bag, without giving up the ability to skip tracks or adjust volume.
Also, using the wired remote and black headphones (as opposed to the white OEM earbuds) could reduced your profile to would-be muggers.
You're not missing a whole lot by not getting the dock and carry case. The OEM carry case is a piece of crap - mine broke within weeks of getting it, it's butt-ugly, and you can't access the controls readily.
As for the dock, the line-out functionality is nice, but for most purposes the headphone-out jack will do.
Speck Products Flipstand is a nigh-bulletproof carry case that includes a "pseudo dock" that allows for docklike vertical syncing (less the line-out). Check it out here: http://www.speckproducts.com/newflipstand/
As for the battery, sites like PDASmart ( http://pdasmart.com/ipodpartscenter.htm ) sell battery replacement kits for the do-it-yourselfer, or you can use Apple's battery replacement service for about US$50 more.
Now that your objections have been nullifed, go out and buy one. Right now.
If you have ready access to a PC, you can install the PC-only version on it, then copy the installed files (via burned CD or LAN) to the mac, THEN install the OSX patch. Not pretty, but it works.
You're thinking of Geoworks Ensemble. It came bundled with a number of Magnavox 8086 through 80386 machines back in the late 80's / early 90's. It did everything windows 3.1 did, except: 1. Crash every 30-60 seconds 2. Run more than the 30 or so apps that came with the distro. Still, a good, solid windowing system for low-end hardware.
The GeoWorks of old can be found at Home Of the Underdogs. A newer incarnation, updated for newer hardware and the Web is called Breadbox Ensemble, and is viewable here: http://www.breadbox.com/ensemble/geocats.asp?categ ory=Ease-of-Use
I definately see both of your points. What *I* find disturbing about the frank talk is that it marks a transition in the way the military has dealt with the public as far back as I can remember. Five years ago, the phrase, "Let's kill people" would have been something more along the lines of "Let's accomplish the mission." It seemed that the military felt the need to project a "softer" image to maintain public approval. Such a sudden change says to me that they no longer care about public opinion. For good or for ill, it makes me nervous.
The First Amendment guarantees a citizen's right to "petition the government for a redress of grievances." Changing the contact method from a well-know, frequently published e-maill adress to an obscure web page impinges on this right. Also the "with us or against us" radio button, would produce a chilling effect on the excercise of this right, regardless of how that information will actually be used.
Why is this even a story? What's next: "Coming May 30, _Finding Nemo_, the heartwarming story of a clowfish's search for his lost son. Produced by Pixar, a company that heavily uses Linux!"
Your choice of words should be reconsidered. "Peace-loving" does NOT mean "Pacifist," nor is the more extreme "warmongering" equivilent to "hawkish."
Your comment seems to divide the world into two factions - total granola-munching-sandal-wearing pacifists and Ronald-Reagan-Meets-Frank-From-Blue-Velvet warmongers. There is a substantial middle ground of people who believe that peace is the ideal state, but that force is justifiable under specific circumstances to defend it.
Would-be replies: Spare me the, "Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity line." I work in Berkeley - it's freakin' old.
In the US evidence is inadmissable if it is obtained _forcibly_ without a warrant. If the cops knock on my door and ask, without a warrant, if they can have a look around, and I agree, just about anything they find would be admissable.

I'm not saying that I have the right to interupt the movie with my pager (in fact, mine is ALWAYS set to "vibrate.") The problem with jamming is twofold: 1. It is indiscriminate - it would block ALL signals whether the reciever was set to audible or vibrate; whether the message has is relatively time-sensitive ("My contractions are 2 minutes apart!") or otherwise ("What do you want for dinner next week?"). 2. It would mark the start of a slippery slope phenomenon - first, movie theatres get jamming gear. Then, the public library. Then, my church. Soon, the only public area without it is the 7-Eleven.
I'm an Emergency Medical Technician on a US Public Health Service Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT). I am required to be accessable by pager or cell phone 24/7/365, so that I can assemble with my team in the event we're activated.

That's gratitude for you.

They DO know that VCF is the trade name for a particular brand of Vaginal Contraceptive Film, right? I guess few geeks have need of such things...
Oddly enough, though, it's one of the few things that loads and views smoothly on my Sidekick II.
