I dislike Bush as much as the next guy, but "Shock and Awe" was not about maximizing civilian casualties. It was to dishearten the Iraqi regular army. Looked at from that POV, it was a success.
I love the knee-jerk "US Army bad". Have you ever dealt with any of the US military? I have. Without exception, they have all been intelligent, capabable, and professional.
Nope. Frying eyeballs is against the laws of War. And believe it or not, the US Military *does* believe in them.
This is for tactical operations, most likely mounted in an AC-130 or some form of chopper. Think of situations where you want to take out enemy targets, but conventional weapons won't work (i.e. in an urban area with civilians around, dropping a bomb might release toxic or NBC materials, target is right next to a culturally significant building/object).
Or even a situation where none of those occur, but you want stealth -- you want to disable enemy equipment without a huge KABOOM to alert the enemy.
CC *Used* to have good salespeople. When my daughter was little, we decided we needed a camcorder to do the "proud parent" thing.
The sales guy actually steered us to a lower-priced model that met all our needs, rather than pushing all the bells and whistles. That led us to go back there for our second generation camcorder. Same thing happened.
The point is that *all* persons (I'd say parties, but I don't want to sound like I'm talking about political parties) can observe the votes being counted.
That's what the movies they showed us in civics class back in the dark ages of the '70s said, anyways.
Note that the escaped angle brackets are to limit search to whole word search, so that embedded search targets are not found. The key is \([Ss]\), which stores the first character for the later \1 substitution.
Well, obviously for the Earl Grey, you have to say "Hot", as in "Tea, Earl Grey, Hot", or it comes cold. For the black tea blend, you get a cup of a drink that's almost but not quite entirely unlike tea.
Socks, bubble wrap, pieces of Styrofoam, and duct tape work great. Uhh, or so I heard. I never did that. Nope, I, uhh, machined a soundproof case and engineered an active noise canceling solution. Yeah, that's the ticket! But I had help from, um... Morgan Fairchild
Of course you did, because the socks were from Old Navy!

Does an 8.5x11 format MOSTEK 6502 manual count?
How about a vintage 1981 iAPX86 manual on onionskin?

If you RTFA (yeah yeah), you'd see how fracking OLD Cleese is! I was shocked.
"Dewey, You Fool! Your Decimal System Has Played Right Into My Hands! Ha Ha Ha Ha!"
Although I guess OCLC is saying that instead of the giant brains.
And she blew, too.
Get it right.
Rule 1: You do not talk about the Fruitcake.
Rule 2: You DO NOT talk about the Fruitcake.
It'll be Die Hard on a Starship!
To be honest, Starship Mine was a pretty good episode.
Thank you for mentioning "Teenagers". The only way I'd watch that without it having riffs is... WITH TORTURE!!!!

Hey, our air quality is a hell of a lot better now. I can't even remember the last time we had a smog alert.
P.S. I like your slashdot login. Shalom!
Turn in your geek card. There's a reason the show was called "Space:1999" The Moon was blasted out of Earth orbit on Sept 13, 1999.
Any appearance of the Moon since then is simply a ridiculous liberal myth.
Does your Dad have AIM? It's bundled with AIM. Of course, they don't *TELL* you that prior to install.

Just got caught with the tequila at work, and had to come up with an excuse quickly.
Umm... we're... um... um... trying to make diamond nanospheres with it! Yeah, diamond nanospheres! That's the ticket.

Parent is right. The Enquirer is nothing but celebrity crap. But WWN covers important stuff like Bat-boy!
These two pirates are talking in a bar, and the tail of the story goes...
"... and that thar seagull splotted in me eye, and I was a-fergettin' that I'd a-just gotten me hook... and that's how I got me eyepatch! Yarrrr!"
Have you asked roblimo?

No more fucking campaign ads (for at least a week).
Here in CA, I guess we're supposed to vote on whether to put all the gays into larger solar powered cages so that the chickens can marry meth dealers.
At least, that what I think all the ads are saying... (They sort of run into each other after a while).
