well, IANAC(hemist or Physicist) but I believe liquid mercury can carry current, apparently it was used in thermostats before people realized they didn't want carcinogens in their dwellings
So there is something behind.Net, a giant global filestore ran by taa daa, Bill "G money" Gates and the M$FT hustlers. I gamble that the next thing we'll hear is "An XTC (X-box thin client) in every home, and a chicken in every pot"
Welcome to one of the great mysteries of the Catholic church, hey lets send pieces of our dead holy people to churches. Still, I get a chuckle out of our local church's name, Our Lady of the Caves
Good thinking, bring your girlfriend into a town that is currently filled with thousands of drunk assholes yelling "Show yer tits". But, if she does, please take pictures...and post them
its the fast save feature, turn it off, and file sizes shrink. A fast save apparently appends to the end of the original file with routing for where this and that section needs to go, in addition to the edits, its apparently not real efficent but it beats waiting for 10-20 seconds for msword to finish saving so you can shut down your system in MS marketing's eyes, dig around in options and you'll find a check box for it
Big difference, (Disregarding the post-9/11 bailouts, more on that in a second). Boeing gets $defensecontract for $billion. Boeing uses it resources and workers and suppliers resources and workers to make $number of aircraft. If Boeing does this on time and under budget, the DOD has its planes, workers have their jobs, and taxes flow into the treasury from wealth created by these jobs. If boeing doesn't make contract, they lose money, stock value drops, workers lose their jobs, and Uncle Sam doesn't collect taxes from these unemployed. With airbus, they screw up, lets say orders drop because they used cheap materials to hold the tail section on, the EU covers their losses without punishing the company in any material way, so nothing is learned.
As for the post-9/11 bailouts, I see this as a situation similar to old Ron Regan bailing out Chrysler in the 80's with a series of extremely risky loans (Not quite as bad as webvan or pets.com but close). If Chrysler went belly up, thousands would have lost their jobs and the federal treasury would have been hammered by loans it couldn't collect on. Fortunately, Chrysler used that cash to turn themselves around (Who knew the mini-van would take off?), making automobiles that stood out from the rest of Detroit (Other than the K-car, but I digress). They paid their loans off early, and the federal treas made more money because these thousands were working and paying taxes, instead of drawing unemployment or flipping burgers for mid-eighties minimum wage
It ain't vaporware, unless the truckload of nextlevel head-end equipment we unloaded Wednesday was all a dream. If you live in between and Louisville, KY and the Tennesse line on I-65 and you use one of the Co-ops Brandenburg Telephone, Duo County, South Central, North Central, or Logan telephone, and live within 19,000ft of the CO, you can get dsl, video, and phone over the same pair of copper that your telephone comes in on now.

That's not the case in our situation, 3 TV's get the full ~150 channel lineup, with more to come
