I didn't say farmland is an improvement, it may or may not be. It just happens to be what what there before the forests re-grew as American agriculture moved west for more fertile ground.
It would seem then, that the reforestation of large tracts of former farmland in the Northeastern USA over the last 150 years or so isn't neccessarily a good thing, climate-wise?
You may be right, I wouldn't know since I've never met a DeVry instructor. In my experience, good programming instructors are exceedingly rare, and the ones I've found, I've found on the job.
I'd have to say that "addiction" is a badly overused term these days. Anytime someone has a bad habit, they'll call it an addiction, as if doing so removes any responsibility for changing their behavior.
I hope you're right, but if not, I'll probably pick up one of the last PPC powerbooks. That new 1680 x 1050 display is sweet. If only it was 1920 x 1080, though;-)
I see you're still winning friends and influencing people as always. As for "pretending to be a tough guy", you were the one posting your lurid fantasies of physical altercations, not I.
Personally I think the whole idea of corporations or organizations donating in any way to politicians is wholly corrupt.
Ross Perot suggested limiting contributions to those who could vote. That means no money for a campaign from any organization, or from any person not registered to vote in the area where the election is taking place.
It would drastically cut the spending on election campaigns, for one thing. It would also pretty much preclude national parties from pushing local candidates. It might even lead to the demise of political parties, which might not be a bad thing. One would probably have to read the candidate's position papers and maybe even attend a debate to decide who to vote for. Imagine!
It means that Christians now have more power in this nation than they had when it was founded, and yet all of these nimrods are complaining about being overly persecuted.
They have the same amount of power that they always did, no more, no less. They can vote, they can run for office, they can sit on juries. So can anyone else.
If I were an officer pulling you over, I'd actually be less worried if you were a registered gun owner. Not a lot of perps bother to register their weapons or apply for carry permits.
before it is marked as being destroyed by DVLA, but after insurance has paid out to the original owners.
I don't quite see how that would work. In the USA, if a car is a "total loss", title for the car is assigned to the insurance company in exchange for the payment of the claim. In other words, the insurance policy is a right to sell the car to the insurance company if the insured contingency occurs. Is that not the case in the UK?
I learned more in that class I think than in almost any other class I've ever taken.
Sounds like your other classes weren't nearly challenging enough.
BTW, if you'd like to read a rebuttal of the male-bashing you were handed, pick up a copy of Rene Denfeld's The New Victorians. It's probably the most effective shredding of the current "feminist" establishment I've seen to date.
I'm still trying to figure out how Clinton can get sacked because of a blow job
First of all, he didn't get sacked. He beat the rap, because his fellow democrats voted for him against their conscience.
Secondly, he was impeached for lying under oath, not for having sex with an underling. It doesn't matter what you lie about, lying under oath is perjury. What he should have done, is refuse to answer the question on the grounds that it wasn't relevant to Paula Jones' case, which it wasn't.

Well, one thing the whole USA has been procrastinating about for decades is fixing the tax system.
-jcr
So, instead of green trees if there were white or glass concrete buildings?
Farmland, more likely.

Does he even have jurisdiction for this? Isn't this a federal matter?

If C# was invented for that one reason, why did MS release Rotor for FreeBSD?
To check off a box in a brochure, of course. It's not like anyone deploying an app on BSD would be using C#.

Merom will be the 64-bit update to Yonah, showing up sometime in Q3 2006.
Thanks. For some reason, I'm just having a hell of a time remembering which intel part is which. I think they could use some more memorable codenames.

So, for $380 bucks, I can get a GPU card that exceed the computing power available to the NSA in the 1980s? Is that about right?
The video transcoding supports sounds very nice. If I can get hardware-assisted H.264 encoding, I'm all over that.

So what would it take to get the current mob to answer questions under oath?
A subpeona from a relevant jurisdiction, or from the congress.

They're not. That's just the currently fashionable rationalization for every hare-brained scheme a government comes up with today.

Clever. Very clever.
The difficulty is, that printing unique T-shirts is probably cost-prohibitive, and lots of t-shirts with the same number would be easy to filter out.
It's probably also quite simple to ignore images of license plates that are more than a couple of feet above the ground.
