My email has become like my regular mail with the advent of electronic billing. Since I don't do very many mail lists anymore all I recive is the occasional junk mail and bill notifications. A far cry from years ago when there was close to 100 a day from mailing lists and friends.
I'll go you one better. When we bought our house and got a new phone # at the beginning of this year, we went to Sears to buy some appliances. When they pulled up our phone number in thier database everyone except me with that number was named Osama ben laden. Really freaky.
"A" Miller brewery outside of Ft. Worth Texas. Like most major breweries and soda makers they have plants all over the country and the world. This allows them to distribute with less spoilage. I used to work for a company that installed industrial controls. I have been in 3 Coke plants, 2 Budweiser and 4 pepsi plants including the one in Hawaii.
Like, Farscape has been picked up indefinately. Also the **AA's and Microsoft have been shutdown. The DMCA has been repealed. And while we're at it... Linux is ready for the desktop!
150 years vs millions? Volcanic activity has fucked with the atmosphere of the planet more than man ever will. Add into that shit falling from space plus other natural phenomena and it makes our little bump in the road of existence pretty meaningless.
The best form of education against bigotry that I have ever experienced, is to listen to a bigot. I agree with you 100%, however... While they are just plain stupid, they tend to attract others that are just plain stupid. Especially those with some percieved grudge against someone of another race. Nazism gained a lot of ground because the party catered to what Germans in a depression wanted to hear. The same goes with any of these organizations. They tickle the ears of the frustrated and people who arn't intelligent enough to pick themselves up by thier bootstraps and continue no matter what is put in the way. It's hard to fight against that sort of thing. Outlawing or banning Hate-speech or organizations that promote it won't make it go away, it will only engender more of the same. And its a natural disposition of all organisms on this planet to fear/attack/dislike those that are not like them. The only solution comes ironically from what Hate mongers want to do. Breed them out. Raise children in a way that they are not attracted to such things. The problem may slack off but a person is a fool to think it can be legislated away.
I call Bullshit! This is nutz. Well hopefully there will be somebody keeping track of all these crippled CD's like Consumer Reports does for products. Fat Chucks does.
I agree with you about the TV. Most people in the States have been watching TV since they were born. Normally we don't sit as close as we do to our monitors but it's still a lot of exposure. The article was kind of light on substance. I believe it was just another trolling attempt by the editors.
well i'm just a bit younger. I was 240 when I got married 8 years ago, now i'm 300. Of course I've been big since playing football in high school, I was 265 then. Being 6'2" helps with the distribution a little. My biggest problem though is inactivity. Work a regular 40hr week at a desk, another 5-15hrs/week consulting on the side and raising four kids. Not a lot of time for personal improvement. I'm sure many here can relate to that kind of schedule. But I walk them to school in the mornings and play with them when I have time. So thats a little.
It's not just the CRT, it's the SITTING. All day in one position, gee I wonder if thats going to have an effect on you. The only damage I've had from sitting in front of a monitor at work for 10 years is 100 more pounds on my frame than I should have.
I think it is a victory. The people that provide cash registers and POS systems are always looking to lower the bottom line to increase profits. Licensing OS's to run thier software on adds that much more. They also need to have a stable platform to base thier systems on to keep the customers happy. If Linux succeeds there, then it will get noticed by others in the industry and word will spread by mouth and trade magazines. Maybe partially related... Compaq's new Smartstart 6.0 CD is Linux based. this allows them to get out of the licensing from MS for thier server configuration software. Before they had to pay MS for each CD they pressed because they were using a Windows platform.
Joe Sixpack may not notice all this, but the people that spend the big money are starting to.
Personally I think all drugs should be legalized. Impose the same restrictions on them as Alchohol and gain money by taxing it.
The thing that really bugs me about that subject of all the poor black people losing thier right to vote is that they knew it was illegal and they did it anyway. You can wrap the subject up anyway you want and put whatever spin on it. But it boils down to "You do the crime, You do the time." What needs to take place, other than getting rid of the crappy laws covering narcotics, is for the black communities to get the message through to thier people that they are giving up thier rights if they get caught. Better to abstain till you have enough numbers to change the law. Thats how I feel about it anyway.
I've only read a little of his work. A SFBC compilation called "The Proteus Manifest". It contains Sight of Proteus and Proteus Unbound. I actually got it as a filler during one of the times I've joined the Club in the past 25 years. I've read and enjoyed it several times but never took the time to read any of his other work. I suppose I will now. R.I.P.
Yes I have read it recently. I think most of the disinterest is not because of the confusion but the misrepresentation of the so-called learned men. Lets face it. In how many wars have priest blessed both sides in the name of god? For over a thousand years the Church has used it's power to squash out the truth, keep people down, and insinuate itself into governments, when as a representative of the Kingdom of God it has no business being involved. I understand perfectly the frustration that many face. The key is not to put faith in man and let him get between you and god.

It was pretty obvious (to me anyway) that the orion chick on the prison planet episode didn't seem to be wearing any.
Gee thats an easy one, Rodenberry is dead, therefore the plebes B & B are free to run amok.
quite possibly the best question posed here.

Not a troll.

Um, the Catholic Chuch if it were to liquidate it's assets, real (estate)or otherwise would surpass most countries on the Earth in wealth.
All people need to do is READ the Bible to discredit Modern Christianity and the Catholic Church.
Of course they'll have to lay 15,000 of the cardinals
Are you sure the Cardinals will accept this.
After all there is that vow of celibacy...
