Most 18 year olds are still strongly influenced by the various fads and peer pressures of youth. .. I was in high school when the voting age was lowered to 18 from 21. Many thought US politics would veer sharply to the left (the early 70's were reverberating from the "hippie movement"). It didn't happen. Kids vote pretty much like their parents vote (if they vote at all).
I'm not willing to pay to see the linked Canadian coins article. After a brief Google, this is the announcement (I don't see any rush by the mass media to report the "correction"):
A statement in the 2006 Defense Security Service Technology Collection Trends in the U.S. Defense Industry report which claimed radio frequency transmitters were discovered embedded in Canadian coins is not true, according to DSS officials.
This statement was based on a report provided to DSS. The allegations, however, were found later to be unsubstantiated following an investigation into the matter.
According to DSS officials, the 2006 annual report should not have contained this information. The acting director of the DSS directed an internal review of the circumstances leading up to the publication of this information to prevent incidents like this from reoccurring.
The 2006 DSS Technology Collection Trends in the U.S. Defense Industry report was published by DSS in June 2006. As part of its oversight responsibilities under the National Industrial Security Program, the DSS receives reports from U.S. cleared defense industry to enhance overall security awareness in cleared industry.
When I first started using Ebay I signed up using the Passport. Lost a couple of auctions due to its malfunctions. Ebay forum advised me not to use Passport. Never again, Bill.
Somewhat offtopic, and definitely the wrong site, but...
I like the clean look of Win2k, with Appearance set to "Windows Classic".
I'm running XP Pro now, and I despise the soft, blurry, fuzzy, pastel icons. I've done the easy adjustments MS allows, and found a package of ME icons that I use with Microangelo.
Any links out there for going the rest of the way? In particular, the loudspeaker icon on the taskbar and the Control Panel icons are bugging me.

Thanks for the elucidation. I was wondering if fruid was something from LOR.
Fox News tells me everything I need to know about the world, no passport necessary.
