Except on the ground the US has lost 3, the Indians 6, the Brazilians 21, and the Russians 176+ (in two seperate incidents). The one in 1960 wiped out almost the entire ground crew with 126 dead. The 1980 accident killed at 50, but the real number is believed to be higher.
Armies staffed by forgieners are never a good idea. It marked the begining of the end for the Roman Empire. If you want your country defended, you should do it yourself.
Enlisting is not covered under the 13th amendment because the amendment doesn't cover voluntary servitude just involuntary. If you sign up for the military you are agreeing to certain conditions. You are not forced to accept it, it is your choice. Also, you are allowed to quit early (under the agreed upon conditions of course), but the military will want the money they gave you when you enlisted back. It's like breaking any oithe contract.
Also, going to jail is not the only way to avoid the draft, there are things like national service for objectors and pacifists. Also, sometimes though you have to do things you don't want to do for the benifit of everyone else. It's not a very libertarian/conservative argument, but sometimes it's the truth. Besides if you are that opposed to war, serving time in jail should be no problem to show how much you are opposed to it.
Improvements and addittions to in the PSOne hardware. You didn't think Sony would just stand still did you?
Besides, the only two "enhancements" claimed by Sony were improved load times (from the faster DVD-Rom) and texture filtering. Texture filtering, while sounds cool, has been a disapointment. The games don't look that much better and a few games even look horrible with it on. By an large it seemed to be a marketing point for buying the PS2 over the PSOne at launch.
Except the emotion engine and the PS2 processor are diabled when a PS1 game is inserted. There is a complete copy of the PS1 inside of the PS2. It's not emulation, the PS1 games is running on real PS1 hardware (processor, graphics, i/o, sound systems are all present, accouted for, and fully functional). When a PS2 game is played the system disables the PS1 graphics subsystem and parts of the processor and then just uses the I/O ands sound systems. No emulation occurs in either case. The games that won't play on the PS2 also won't play on the upgraded PSOne, since it uses the same Playstation-on-a-chip as the PS2. The reason they won't run is that they use undocumented instructions from the original ps1 that changed when Sony implemented the new chip.
They have merged them. Enter an ICQ number as a buddy into AIM or an AIM name into ICQ and it works fine. The backend for both is the same severs running the same protocol. ICQ/AIM difference is kept around to get those people who are too cool for AOL and to get the people who are too afraid to use anything but AOL. It's all marketing.
I was under the impression that the metals in the penny are more valuable then the penny, but I may be mistaken.
The metals cost less than the penny. The reason pennies are still made is that the mint makes a profit on each one made. Once they stop making money, they'll stop making pennies.
Maybe, but part the reason/settlement of the x86 cross licensing agreements with AMD was for Intel to get access to AMD's x87 designs. Which at the time were steps above Intel's at the time.
For one very important reason: this is the first time its happened.
It's the second time. The x87 math co-prossor was developed by AMD and latter incorperated into Intel line of processors. the x87 is now better known as the FPU.
While this may be true, the GA resolutions are non-binding and therefore cannot call or enforce items such as sanctions, peacekeepers, or give clearance to invade another country (i.e. the interesting stuff). Veto on the security council will cause all sort of talk and debate in the General Assembly, but it's very effective for causing nothing to be done on a particular issue.
It was santized when it was transfered out of the Blue Angels not when it was transfered in. The Thunderbirds and Blue Angels both use standard military equipment outfitted like any other military airplane. Radar, bomb mounts, etc. They could be used to drop bombs or intercept planes as long as the ordinace was onhand to do so. The only thing different is the paint job.
My guess is that they removed some of the most critical items but by and large the plane still has its original engines, flight systems, etc. It looks like it just fell through the cracks.
The difference is that if you look at a single frame of film, the picture contains the current picture, part of the previous picture, and then part of the next picture. The movement of the film and the eyes mix all those pictures together to create the motion. Then look at a single frame of a computer game, all the frame contains data for that frame only, no transistions (every thing is crisp.) Games need much higher frame rates in order to trick the eye into seeing motion on static frames, just like how a flip book works. Except that computers can flip the pages at a much, much higher rate to elimiate the flickering and hard transistions that would be visible at 24 frames per second. Granted it does become a game of diminishing returns as you get frame rates higher than 100 fps.

The male/female thing has more to do with the fact that advertisers covet the 18-35 male demographic much more than the 18-35 female demographic. And as a result are willing to pay more for a show that more young men watch. Why they covet this, who really knows.
If the restrictions were placed on you before the job was accepted then it would be enforcable by accepting the job. If they were placed on you after you accepted the job (which usually appears to be the case) then the contract and associated restrictions cannot be implicited accepted by accepting the paycheck.
Backwards compatability also had a great deal to do with the PS2's win over the DreamCast, even before the PS2 launched.
I'm a firm believer that the Dreamcast died for the singular reason that they released it at the wrong time. If they released it a year later in 2000, it would of done well against the PS2, but since they released it in 1999, it was being compared to the PS2 which didn't exist so everyone was comparing it to the PS2 in their heads without comparing it to real hardware. The backwards compatablity didn't play into it, it was the comparison between the "ideal" PS2 to the "real" Dreamcast. As a result, most consumers just sat around waiting for the PS2 to ship (in order to do a proper comparison so they didn't get stuck with a loser) and Sega proceeded to hemorage so much money that they decided to exit the console market entirely before the PS2 even launched. It's sad though, because the Dreamcast compared favorablely to all three of the current systems.
While the name, neocon, was originally derived from the "newly conservative", it has since become a term to describe the policital philisophy that started with those who immigrated from the "left" into the "conservative" during the early 1980's. (Immigrated is probably the best term, since its a group of people who went from attacking liberals from the left to attacking liberals from the right.) It is generally used by both "reactionary knee-jerk anti-war liberals" and "the neocons" and their supporters to describe both their grouping and their positions. One doesn't have to be new to the conservative side of the debate to describe him or her self as a "neocon".
Cheney, Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld have all in the past self identified themseleves as "neocons" as have many other officals and advisors to this administration. Are you saying these people don't know their own positions?
Up until the Nixon administration the US was on average breaking even on farm subsidies. The program used to be based on loans to the farmers instead of direct grants. This helped the farmers along and ended up costing the government nothing The loan colateral was the farmers grain which if they couldn't pay back (mainly because the price of grain was too low due to too much grain being produced) then the government took and stored until it could be sold back at a higher price (like when there wasn't as much grain on the market.) The program wound up costing taxpayer's almost nothing, kept the farmers realitively well off, and the price of grain realitively steady.
The direct subsidies we pay for now cost us billions a year in direct payments to farmers and winds up forcing farmers out of business due to low grain prices (and the fact that most of the money goes to to larger corporate farms). There are now no price controls at all. If the price of grain drops too low the farmers dump the grain for the lowest price, which cuts into the profits of anyone trying to sell unprocessed grain. The only way to make money in the food industry now it to sell giant portions or value add the stuff to make junk food.
The subsidy program doesn't feed you any more than any IT program would. All it does it hurt farmers and waste taxpayer's money.
Even though USPS is a federal corperation it is NOT supported by one penny of taxes. Since 1982 it's operated fully on its own revenue (to the tune of $67 billion a year) while not being able to close unprofitable branches or businesses (they're still bound by federal law requiring those services to be in place). And just because bulk mail is delivered at a reduced rate doesn't mean someone is losing money at it. It's usually easier to process and doesn't cost as much to deliver (because you don't need to forward it if someone moves, if it gets lost no worry, etc).

But if you open the case of the xbox and fill it with lucky charms instead of eletronics, then I'd buy it. It'd be worth more to me that way.

I don't think you'll find military contacts falling in the same vein as those bad work contracts.

Thawte is also a wholy-owned subsidary of Verisign. So if you buy from Thawte you're buying form Verisign.
