That's pretty brazen since the cat was already out of the bag. So did someone finally figure out whether it was dead or alive? African or European cat?
"In conclusion, we should not be trying to eliminate obesity. Rather, we should establish "fat farms" where we can increase their numbers for our future needs."
Welcome to America. What would you like to eat? Aaaahhhh! Soylent green is fat people!!!!!!
You had me right up until "Vote for anyone but Republicans..." Sheep think in those terms. And you had me right up until "sheep think in those terms."
Republicans are well known for holding the line and sticking to their talking points. They've worked hard to earn this reputation, and there's no reason to forget that they've repeatedly unified behind awful ideas.
Obama voted against the AUMF and filibustered the permanent reauthorization of the PATRIOT act. Additionally, he wont be tempted to hold the Republican line, seeing as how he is a Democrat.
The same logic applies to other good Democrats. It works against the Republicans - we need look no farther than Ron Paul to see what happens to Republicans who respect the constitution and the rule of law. You're comparing one politician to the whole Republican party? Whoopee do! Dear citizen, let me fix your paragraph for you:
Democrats are well known for holding the line and sticking to their talking points. They've worked hard to earn this reputation, and there's no reason to forget that they've repeatedly unified behind awful ideas.
A quick Google search reveals that Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Mark Hatfield (R-OR) voted against the AUMF resolution. So your argument proves nothing.
The GP seemed to imply that part of the solution was to not vote Republican. As if all will be OK when the Dems have control of everything. Not so. Our forefathers warned us against a two party system long ago, and you don't have to be all that bright to figure out why.
A five year prison term might be preferable to experiences like this, especially when ratting out the FBI can save hundreds of thousands of innocent people from further constitutional abuse. I can not demand heroic action by others but I wish there had were more than three in the hundreds of thousands of abused citizens so far. Innocent people going to jail for protecting privacy of other innocent people would shut this monster program down fast.
Vote for anyone but Republicans in 2008 and vote out everyone who had anything to do with the poorly named Patriot act.
You had me right up until "Vote for anyone but Republicans...
Us against them. Good over evil. With or against us. Sheep think in those terms.
The emotional rhetoric from politicians never ends and their simple minded constituents emulate that behavior instead of engaging in critical thinking.
You do realize that there were PLENTY of Democrats that had voted for the Patriot Act. Hell, IIRC 99% of Congress didn't even read the God damn thing!
Orwellian dystopia? I spend a few months over there earlier this year and must have missed that bit... A little at a time my friend. Just a little at a time...
The other advantage of a CD is that the data on a CD is precise, an exact copy of the original, and any functioning CD player will interpret the CD identically. Analog information on a vinyl LP, on the other hand, is subject to an analog input system (the needle) which will vary from player to player as to its mechanical properties, which will influence the sound it picks up from the record.

Given you write manuscripts have you ever given Lyx a serious look? I myself are far from being any sort of Linux guru but after reading about the basic philosophy of WYSIWYM (what you see is what you mean) and trying the program for a few months, I have long given up on traditional word processors. Writing any sort of document in the Lyx tradition just makes so much more sense, even for simple business letters. Professional novels and scientific papers are written using Lyx.
Intel maybe be driver friendly when it comes to video and wireless devices, but they are sorely lacking in the LinuxBIOS dept or any other open BIOS for that matter. Most of the motherboards supported by LinuxBIOS are on AMD or NVIDIA chip sets. Intel is still trying to push EFI, which Linus, on the LKML, called: "this other Intel brain-damage (the first one being ACPI)".
40 years and I still can't find one with a backlight. I can't be the only one who codes in a dimly lit cave.
Ha ha, I never thought about it before, but you're right. I've never seen a calculator with a back light. But in the age of the web, it is possible to find such a beast. But it is surprising that it's not more common.
..., we never had to resort to the level of violence evident in this video.
What level of violence is that? They try to escort him out after he starts to rant. Yes, he is ranting loudly into the microphone. He then resists the officers and continues to yell. At around 1:30 (youtube video) a female office is trying to explain to him to stop resisting and yield his hands. The subject then states that he is NOW willing to walk out. Sorry bud, he had his chance. He's acting like a raving lunatic. If he was my patient I would let PD restrain him and I would definitely do a finger stick and check his glucose level. Look at approx. 01:50! He yanks his left hand free from the officers. He was told multiple times that if he keeps resisting he will get tased. At 01:59 he gets tased while the officers are still struggling to tase him. The officers are calm. No one is punching, slapping, yelling or screaming at the subject.
Yet another poster who has never EVER had to restrain anyone professionally?
I saw the whole video as well. The video is not good evidence.
Where are his hands??? You can't see 'em!! So what if he is on the ground? He is still a threat if his hands are not cuffed! Were the officers able to pat him down for a weapon thoroughly? Did the officers believe -- because of his behavior-- that this person is and EDP (emotionally disturbed person) who needs psychiatric and possibly medical help?
But four officers couldn't remove one college student without using a taser? Give me a fucking break!
I am not saying that police do not abuse their authority. I am not going to debate you on your previous statements, but only on the one I italicized.
This guy seemed (video is shaky) like he was putting up quite a fight.
Have you ever tried to restrain someone who really really does not want to be restrained? Have you ever been kicked, slapped, pushed shoved by someone trying to get away? Someone you cannot hit in the head? I have --and I'm only a paramedic who can only use soft restraints and wait 'till NYPD gets to the scene with handcuffs. And remember: you have to try and restrain them without hurting them or occluding their airway, which makes the task even more difficult!
This guy was resisting arrest. I'm not debating whether it was right to arrest him in the first place. The penal law here (and in most states) in New York State states that it's illegal to resist arrest even when you think that the arrest is unauthorized.
How did they manage police work before they had tasers?
I have seen scrawny seventeen year olds give six hulky NYPD ESU cops a helluva a hard time before he was restrained. And also keep in mid that it would only take one lucky kick to the face for one of these cops to lose an eye --seen it happen before.
Put on my uniform (the one where you are not allowed to carry ANY weapons) and come back to us in a couple of years, or in my case, ten
nobody wins until the balance of power is restored to the people, where it belongs.
Except that "the people" are to busy lining up to get the newest iPhone/Wii/PS3 instead of lining up at the polls and paying attention to what's going on in government.
The buttons are easy to press, even for my sausage finger. It still has a simple "Ring" named ring tone that most new phones are lacking. Great battery life. A simple calendar you can attach notes to. A countdown timer, think parking meters. Easily availble for under forty dollars on eBay. I also picked up a spare. It is a GSM phone.

I find that Christian Fundamentalists have no trouble finding their behinds since they spend a good portion of their
day with theirs heads up in it.
But what I think you were referring to was the Left Behind series of novels: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_Behind

We could make a list. Or, Why I could make a hat, or a brooch, a pterodactyl. . .
When do i get the cell on a standard ATX form factor with an open BIOS for personla Linux home use?
Any plans for that?

It's to toe the line.
