  3. My Account on One Year After September 11 · · Score: 0

    I live in Annapolis MD, about an hours drive away from the pentagon. I got up at about 8:15 and and proceed to get ready to go to school (AACC for those familiar with the area). I had my walkman with me at the time and heard the report that a plane had hit the world trade center. My first thought was of a crop duster sized plane. I thought that it seemed rather odd but didn't think to much of it as I went inside (and lost the radio signal) to go to class. As people and news trickled in to the room, the scope if what happened begin to set in. Getting in contact with people was an exercise in skill. My biggest concern was my mom who happens to work very close to the pentagon. After (finally) getting in contact with her i felt better. I called my job to tell everyone that I would most likley be late today, I was told don t bother they were closing early. Me and my family made it home ok. I tried to watch the news but after seeing so many talking empty heads i couldn't take it any more. I was pretty tired then anyway, so I want to sleep at about 4 pm that was my day. Looking back, the reaction of the government as well as mot people bothers me. "Don't bring em to justice, Send em to hell" Bumper sticker's sprung up everywhere (complete with bad grammar). Every hour someone was on TV proclaiming the start of WWIII. For the next week, TV degenerated (possible?) into little more than i giant play on everyones fears. I actually skipped church that week because I knew what the tone of the service would be.(Way more drama than I was ready for.) Everywhere i went there was some stupid yuppy discussing foreign policy like he was Colen Powell when in fact they were just regurgitating some BS they had heard on the Oriley Factor. For a truly great account of the events subsequent to September 11, Check out http://www.h2k2.net/panels.html Jello Biafra and Aaron McGruder give wonderful speeches on the topic.

  4. What bugs me the most is... on Do Cell Phones Make Us Stupid? · · Score: 0

    people who feel the need to have the speakerphone on their Nextels so loud as to alert a four block radius of their conversation I can understand the desire (NOTE: desire not need) to have them super loud at work if the person has a job that tends to me noisy, like construction. But some people seem to derive some strange life force from the volume of their phone. These people should realize the being excessively loud is not a good way to mask ones ignorance.

    There is a game called Nerf Arena (link). It's Based on the Quake3 engine, but there is no blood anywhere. There will still probably be some parents who will see any game with projectiles as a "death simulator", but these people will hopefully be shunned as the idiots they are.

  11. Re:Q: HP cartridges 15 vs. 45 on Anti-Competitive Behavior in the Printer Industry? · · Score: 0

    If you saw a 45 on a display model then it was prob. the 46G (The half full Version) That came with the machine, not the 45A (The real version). HP Claimes they are diffrent. But I find it odd that their "DIFFRENT" ink cark produces the exact same print quality and only seems to be found in the cheaper machines.

  12. Do The Math. We are paying way to much on Anti-Competitive Behavior in the Printer Industry? · · Score: 0

    An HP 51645A (Very Popular Ink Cart) Costs around $30.00 (US dollars) and Contains 42 Mililiters of ink. That is $0.71 cents per mililiter or $714.29 per liter. I do not care how much "Development" goes into the ink there is no way it costs HP that much to produce it. And Lexmark cartidges cost more than that. Look it up the next time some best buy sales person tries to tell you how good they are based soley on the initial cost.

    http://www.congress.gov Change will not come about until we are able to get the MPAA, General Electric, Wal-Mart, and a lot of other greedy corporations out of the pockets of our leaders. The first step in dooring this is letting your representative in congress know that you are on to them and that you are a registered voter who disapproves.
