That is axactly why I do not and will NEVER give PayPal access to my back account. With my CC account, I have the CC company (in theory) on my side and can challenge any crap PP tries to pull.
My, what a PC term! We are talking about individuals who violate the borders of the U.S. illegally.
In Arizona alone, the border patrol catches 1,400 illegal border crossers, over a million a year. And that's just the people they catch! Like drugs, they probably catch less than one in ten. Since they don't exactly stand up for census counting, we really don't know how many.
We watch for terrorists in all legal crossings, but I wonder how many just walk across the border?
I mean, metal provides you shielding, dissipates static charges, and all that other good stuff.
My media box is a mini-itx system built into plastic toolbox. Other than a little arcing across my fillings when I get too close, I haven't had any problems.
It's called a "GFCI" (ground fault circuit interrupter). They also prevent you from getting electrocuted.
They are supposed to prevent minor shocks, too. Last year while camping, I was plugging in some of those dumb xmas-type "camping" lights. One of the bulbs was broken and I was leaning on it (D'oh!). The lights were plugged into the camper, which was plugged into a long cord plugged into a GFCI outlet. The breaker tripped, but due to the capacitice in all the wire, I got the SHIT knocked out of me!
IIRC, if Yellowstone goes up, we are all screwed via Nuclear (or Volcanic) Winter.
As to the New Madrid fault, I grew up in New Madrid county and still live in the danger zone (Memphis).
Tornadoes, ice, earthquakes, "Hurricane Elvis", asteroids, plague, nuclear terrorism, so what? You make basic preparations for any disaster and go on. Or wring you hands and worry. See which works better.
How much laser power would be required to instantly punch a hole through a human torso or head?
Have any non-classified studies been done on this? Since humans are basically just walking bags of fluid, how would evaporation of fluid effect the damage?

SHIT!
CSI Miami is a re-run tonight.
Time to hit the sci-fi Friday night stuff I Tivo'd.
See, that's why I make my kids take their muddy shoes off OUTSIDE...
If your Maxim gets hot enough to burn, you obviously need more water in the water jacket.
Duh.
TIM-MEH! must be a baseball fan.
Or he watches too fucking much CNN...
Depending on the state, whistleblower laws sometimes have CRIMINAL penalties too. Contact the state AG and let him have a go.
Maybe not, but they are every bit as tasty as bears.
Since they don't get ad money, what's the problem? Free publicity and free distribution.
Look, someone on the inside leaked the episode. Did he have unofficial permission?
Maybe...
But I shouldn't have to do that just to enjoy a movie the way I want to.
Welcome to the real world, pal.
Never fly as is.
How about the "Clean Environment and Save the Children Act"?

"Paperless Immigrants"?

Nope, Koala Bear.
Yep, Sealab.
Hm - I wonder how much food they'll be able to buy with a copy of "Cryptonomicon".
About a pallet load of "Cap'n Crunch".
Really?
They can't stop millions of illegal aliens or hundreds of tons of drugs, but they can catch a container of tuner cards?
House is GREAT!
So good, in fact, that I don't see Fox keeping it on the air.

To steal from Dilbert: do you need to check your driver's license to see what sex you are in the winter?
Exactly how does someone have $700 worth of fun with a laser in a responsible fashion?
Use it to "key" cars in public, without being noticed (in day time).
Write your name in the snow.
Light a chicks cigarette from across the room.
Use it to heat your coffee.
Modify billboards.
Just don't hurt people with it. Unless they really, really need it. Could you toast a cell phone with it, I wonder?

I wonder how powerful a laser it would take to kill a person? Are we to the stage yet where anti-personnel lasers are looking likely?
...and giving hummers!
Dan Rather?
("What's the frequency, Keneth?")
Adult Swim should run those two episode back-to-back.
Some good publicity there. Just the commercial for it would be a hoot.
