I didn't know the war in Iraq had anything to do with terrorism. I thought it was about going after WMDs that were in the hands of Sadam Hussein
I didn't know that opposing the PATRIOT act was tantamount to ignoring terrorist cells. The powers of the PATRIOT act certainly would not have caught the 9/11 killers.
I'm afraid that I don't understand your quip about gun rights, or I'd come up with some wise ass remarks about that too.
in Ohio the general rule is that if you can flee you life is NOT in imminent danger.
example:
-- If you are locked in a room with a window, and they are breaking down the door, then you can flee out the window - then your life is not in imminent danger so you may not se deadly force to protect yourself.
-- If the window is on the third floor (or there is no window)- then your life is in danger and you may be justified in using deadly force to defned yourself.
Severe gravitational anomolies... Meteor impact causes the magnetic poles to shift... Global water levels rise 2 feet but without any tidal waves beacuse of all of 'ice bergs'...
Is it just me, of is that article have the stench of bullshit about it?
Let em see If I am hreading you correctly. You're stating that no one that enters into a dangerous career (fireman, policeman, soldier, etc.) can be considered a hero because everything they do is considered to be their duty.
So a police officer that gets shot in a shootout with a bank robber is not a hero, because he was doing his duty. But anyone else that gets shot in identical circumstances IS a hero because they went 'beyond the call of duty'.
That's absurd. Pick up a dictionary. Look up 'hero' before you post a reply.
I''ll be willing to buy his theory that python hackers are better than java hackers.....so long as he buys my theory that lisp hackers are better than python hackers.
yeah, wash and wear!!! My Brother in the Air Force loves the fact that now he can just throw on his cammies and not worry about ironing.
Ya know the old BDUs were supposed to be like that too.
But it wasn't long before the Career Corps decided that the relaxed look of BDU's wasn't 'professional' enough. Before you would say "Rear-Echelon-Mother-Fucker" they had us sewing shut the pockets and starching them flat.
The fact that they were destroying the functionality of the BDU was unimportant to them.
I was going to get a pickup truck, a bug collapseable screen, a sound system and a projector and hit the local festival scene. I didn't figure that I'd get rich doing it, but it sounded fun. Then I found out how much the projectors cost, and since I didn't have a ZILLION dollars just laying around I decided to get a real job instead.
Now I guess the price on the proojectors has come down and I could acutally afford to do this -- that is if I didn't have a wofe and kid to support.
I think you underestimate the stupidity of the American Voter. We can't be trusted to remove the chads from the backs of our ballots. Many of us think it's perfectly fine to vote for more than on candidate. Butterfly ballots send us into conniptions.
If the Australian system were tried in America, it woiuld be the end of Democracy.

Pay raises!
Noting say "Tanks for the good job" like cold hard cash!
The local radio station here is reporting that this is a hoax and that Mr. Jennings streak goes on.
Preach on!
Let's think about that for a second.
Think about all the times the warp core nearly went critical. Think about all the blown relays and all of the power conduits that had to be rerouted.
LaForge was not a good engineer. LaForge was a bad engineer.

Being a hero isn't about trailblazing. It's about bravery and nobility.
zero.
How many astronauts did it take to fix the defects in the main mirror?
Could the mission have been accomplished without the use of the shuttle and its robotic arm?
"I put my life on the line every day when I drive to work, in which I write software used to develop new technology.."
No, that just make you a nerd.

Bold words from an anomymous coward.
They aren't heroes because they died. They're heroes because, like all astronauts, they put their lives on the line for the betterment of mankind.
That makes them heroes.

Yes, but it allows for recounts and it doesn't require reliance on a sole source for election hardware.
Even one better!
How about the EVM just prints out a completed ballot that you then drop into a ballot box. It doesn't need to store the ballot electonically at all.

I applaud your mastery of all things DC!
Bravo!

Must be a Friday.
I read "Rich from inventing a better shuttle?" as "Rich from inventing a beer shuttle?"
"Damn straight!" thought I.
