When I was in the Marine Corps they ALWAYS appointed the taller person in charge on details and other odds and ends. Of course your time in service and rank gave you privllages but they always wanted a taller person in charge.
When the Soviet generals and thier staff came to Camp Lejune in the early eighties to see a Marine Air Ground Task Force excercise The Marine Corps in all thier wisdom chose Marines who were 6ft tall and taller to do the demonstration. The Soviet General Commented on how well the officers executed thier manuvers. The American General said "Thank you. But those are our enlisted men."
The more countries who have the me too attitude the better the chances of the U.S. getting off thier asses and going to mars. If we don't establish a larger presence in space first the other countries will militarize it first.
it's not to say that the U.S. won't do it.
reminds me of the political cartoon of Pakistan developing Nuclear weapons and they had thier bomb strapped to the back of a donkey to deliver thier payload.
You are going to need some very good social engineering skills to try and get that information. Most telemarketers only want YOUR information. When you start asking them for thiers they will get suspicious and hang up.
I forsee a large increase in caller ID being purchased.
I really don't see the need for these cellphone disposible devices.
They are way overpriced and highly underpowered. I guess it all depends on what you use it for. My day planer works a whole lot better for most tasks.
I think it's time for me to get a high priced lawyer and sue the makers of these devices for holding out and stringing us along for the next powerfull device.
I can imagine the cover up NASA was trying to do when the Shuttle did burn up.
Everybody played dumb to the press.
How hard was it to take a fucking picture? Or point a telescope at the shuttle? A picture is a thousand words? The people who stoped that from happening should be SHOT!!!
I feel for that poor engineer, I bet if had went over peoples heads he would have been fired. He probably has a big fat mortgage and two car payments. I could imagine him having a hell of a time trying to find a job.
I for one have noticed an incredible decrease of spam ever since the SoBig virus hit. I used to get 15 to 20 spams a day. Now I am lucky if I get 1. hmm, Now that 30 mins of my day is freed up I don't know what to do with myself.
I guess with the big tech bust and investors very edgy on Tech stocks, Some companies are looking to make a major comeback by outsourcing for cheaper labor. 10% return on your investment isn't good enough anymore, that's if they are making that.
Look at Nike and Rebook. They make millions by paying children 50 cents a day and adulterer basketball players millions to endorse thier products!
I betcha this has to do with the upgrade protection program.
Lets say you buy Office XP and Windows XP and purchase upgrade protection. I believe you can buy it in 2 and 4 year increments.
Well most people will probably purchase the 2 year plan just to save money.
So Microshaft says "hey look at all the recent customers" They only bought 2 year protection programs!" "Ok" says the bean counters we just push back the release of our latest offering 2 years. TaDA! revenue protection program for us! Now my wife can get that tummy tuck.

"This is how it ends, not with a bang, But a whimper" :(
Who said that?
HEHE.
That was clever
Now thats exactly what I want!
Not these trickle down upgrade Plam type devices.
overpriced dayplanners
I hate to say this but think of all the improvised explosive device triggers you could build with them.
Roswell and Kecksburg?
I guess UFO's don't crash in the heart of Brooklyn. Or thier pilots have strict instructions not to crash in populated areas.
Or the aliens technology has improved so much since the 1940's that thier Saucers just don't crash anymore. Better than an SR-71
Overpriced day planners
This is a national emergency!
people will not be able to wallow in thier woes!
That means the rich people better watch out!!

And it will continue to be broken.
On to other news

When does all this bull crap stop? I guess there are no legal ramifications to put these guys in jail for making false claims and statements?
I can trade in all my Mediaplay points and get me a PS2. I love competition.
So that they can capitalize on a big crappy ending.
I just hope they don't waste 15 mins of time showing us a stupid dancing wild orgy scene.

How much do these things cost? .10 cents ?
If I owned stock in Low Jack I would dump it.
WOW did you think that one up all by yourself?
