    That explains all those Star Trek Holographic lollipops.

    I am probably wrong, but what I remember of "projected" holograms is it's an optical trick using curved mirror to "project" the image.

    Too bad we lost Edmund Scientific (well the storefront at least). I wanted to take my wife there since I always loved going there when I was a kid.

    If you ever read the EQ naming guidelines "Luke Skywalker" is an example given of a name that is not allowed and will get you in trouble with the powers that be.

    As a Native American how do you feel about the Bush Administrations failure to obey treties and the mismanagement of the funds that belong to your peoples?
    What has the rest of America done to help life on Reservations?

  9. Re:While we're on the subject... on A Negative Review of Halo 2 · · Score: 1

    The problem is that most games Single Plaer mode takes a back seat to Multyplayer. Just look at Halo. I only have the PC version so no co op for me.
    I will see down the road if PC Halo 2 is a victim of the same.

    No they do not. Instead the money is in conning some kid into thinking he will die instantly is he does not bleed himself painfully 5 or more times a day, needing hundreds of dollard of "testing" gear every month.
    The Razor and blades mentality to health care issues is killing people.

    After some searching I cant find any referance to "free speach zones" as such being common (or at all) in the 60's and 70's.

    Crud, corrections as follows:

    Hum, First time I had ever hear dof one was in the 200 Bush rally sense.

    Is there any good reason for them to be in existance? In the 60's it was probably just a lame excuse to beat up some protesters. Oh wait, there is no difference.

    It should have been required that all the people voting on it actually read it back to front before they were allowed to vote. I think all bills should be that way. but it wont happen.

    Clearly the implication of the handwritten letter is as the Daily Show put it "The entirety of America is safe, except for the computers at the justice department."

    Supreme executive power derives not as a mandate from the masses but from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

    Read your own damn links and educate yourself.

    Notice you have to now limit your thing to "coinage" not the paper money, no one in 1950 did large cash transactions in pennies and dimes.
    Paper money lacked the GODLY anti commie words to protect out bodily fluids.

    From the link (first hit in google) you couldnt bother to read more then the first paragraph of:
    " IN GOD WE TRUST was first used on paper money in 1957, when it appeared on the one-dollar silver certificate. The first paper currency bearing the motto entered circulation on October 1, 1957."

    Why did it show up in the 50's?
    Because of the damn cold war and the commie witchunt.

    So it's more logical for GOD to set up an elaborate lie, including thousands of years of recorded history (many cultures have records back bofore creatinists claim GOD did his thing) then it is for GOD to have set up the elements needed to let things heppen over time?
    What is time to a GOD? Why the rush? Is a day of GOD even close to a day here on Earth (we are talkinga clestial being)?

    "In God We Trust" and "Under God" have not been with us for a long time when we talk about Money and The Pledge.
    Educate yourself. These were added strictly as part of the Cold War and McCarthyism to keep "Godless Commies" out of school and from using money. Like that worked at all. They are a black spot on our histiry and culture.

    Nothing in America relating to government and religion even comes close the the issue of the Taliban and Buddha. 5K years gone in a second.....
