    What's your point? Are you trying to imply with those pictures that it is a lifeless wasteland and so the drilling will have no environmental impact?

    No, i'm not talking about people who like being outdoors and having fun. I'm talking about people who lie around all summer obsessed with getting tan. Vanity lines might be a better name for them.

    Cancer is only one potential risk. The sun worshipers I've known still are wrinkled way beyond their years.

    Why shouldn't Mike Disney be able to buy disney.plumbing? It would be confusing since he's an astrophysicist.

    Languages change. It isn't corruption of the language, it's just language doing what is always has and always will do. Be glad for it, if they didn't change we would still be grunting like our ancient cave dwelling ancestors.

    Thanks for pointing out the obvious jackass. I know exactly what he meant, but this isn't the 80's and people don't call it Taxachusetts anymore. The tax burden in MA is right about average for the country these days. So the same goes for you: get a clue.

    So you've got a short attention span. Do you really think that makes you as efficient as someone who has trained their mind to be focused?

    Come on, you've got to have some legitimate reason for the extra price. If I was going to sell $599 cables, I would be sure to treat them with my special quantum acoustic enhancer first. This patented device "entangles" the audiotons ensuring "instant" transmission with "no" signal loss.

    One possible option for this contest is to hide information in the lower bounds of each pixel (stenography like) Sure that's easy without the source code, but how do you make setting black to something other than 0 look innocent in your source code? There's the rub.

    You're locked into iTunes, but not locked into the iTunes store. The iPod's would never have gotten so popular if people weren't able to supply their own mp3s.

  17. Re:Msn Friend List on Spit Will Be Worse Than Spam · · Score: 1

    I am too amicable to outright disagree with you, but for me, people only call me after I GIVE THEM my phone number Good choice. If you outright disagreed with me you would have looked foolish assuming that something is true for everyone because it is true for you.

    I use my phone frequently when working from home. I frequently get calls from people who I either don't know or from a phone number that I don't know. Also it happens outside of work once in a while, such as when my girlfriends phone dies so she calls me from her friends phone.

  21. Re:sigh on 35 Articles of Impeachment Introduced Against Bush · · Score: 1

    Wow, so much controversy over one little comment.

    I'm not sure how you got that I am a screaming wacko from that question. I am not, and never have, advocated for charging Bush with charges of mass-murder. It would simply never happen. Not like "impeachment" never happen, more like "red space faeries beaming me to their ship" never happen.

    That said, Bush started a war of aggression which results in hundred of thousands of dead Iraqis and thousand of dead Americans. The official DOJ definition of mass murder is 4 or more victims. Maybe it's outrageous to say that Bush is responsible for the death of more than 4 innocent people but I can't come up with any good reasons why.

    Clinton was impeached and was found not guilty, that's why it didn't "get you anything". It got Bush something though, since the process was politicized so much that our congress is now afraid to do anything despite the very real crimes this administration has committed.

    The UN Charter is an international treaty that we signed on to, that makes it US law.

    And as for how impeachment works, it doesn't.
