    Dude, this is Manhattan - people park their Rolls on the street. Besides, if you have all that stuff, you probably have a house in the Hamptons too.

    Meh, Armani is like dressing up in sex. I'm not wearing it to make you like me. It's for me. Of course, I usually do the tshirt and jeans thing.

    You'd sell your family out like that? What kind of man are you?

    Would that make your wife safer on the streets alone at night? Having a random guy in jail while the real rapist is still out on the hunt?

    Don't buy your wife a rock, get her a glock. Stops rape dead.

    Not only that, but when the person he delegates something to messes up, he takes the blame and protects his people, thus insulating his delegation from public scrutiny.

    Yeah, that worked so well for the fallout from the plame incident.

    What the FUCK?! Market Garden was such a famous fuckup that it was made into a major motion picture and Cheney wanted to go do it AGAIN?

  7. Re:Cheaper than parking on the street on Very High Tech - Elevator Garages in an NYC Hi-Rise · · Score: 1

    When I went a couple years ago, NYC charged $7/day for subway access; that means that, for $7, you can ride as much as you want. Service was great in manhattan. Not as good in brooklyn.

    I dunno, glocks put holes in things just as well as my SIG. I'll keep my sig, though.

    Forgery is great today - you can, with the help of a complicit person, set up a highly trusted fake ID that's produced by the feds. Best part is that the bar for renewals is almost always much lower than initial issuance. If you were able to get an ID from someone that would soon not need it and they were similar looking to you, you might be able to renew it with your info and have it as a second ID. examples: moving to NYC, going overseas, etc. Food for thought, but not really digested.

    No it isn't. It's only a discount if the advertised price includes the service. Otherwise, it's just gaming the expedia type sites.

    The first. The second choice leaves the option of martyring the guy for the cause and recruiting a whole bunch of people. This is why we can't kill usama bin ladin - he needs a priavte room at some supermax for the rest of his natural life with accomodations made for reasonable religious things. We won't even be mean to him; he just can't leave.

    For the same reason, indiscriminate bombing and killing leads to more enemies than when we started.

    Roaches don't inhale - that requires lungs.

    Of course you can. If you do, the gub will probably take it by force, laws or no.

    Yeah, so what? There are about 8-9 channels I watch with any regularity - networks, comedy central, discovery, and a couple other.

    How about Spike? They seem to absolutely awful with commercials - movies run an extra half hour.

    What does that tell you? Ha? Ha?

    You've got too much time on your hands?

  18. Re:"unconstitutionally excessive"? on Jammie Appeals, Citing "Excessive" Damages · · Score: 1

    The constitution doesn't grant any rights - it gives the federal government certain powers. It recognizes rights that people have, but only those rights that the founding fathers found to be absolutely essential. A right not being mentioned doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. It is presumed to exist unless it violates someone else's rights or a part of the c'tion. So yeah, you have the right to buy beer on fridays, but it isn't mentioned. You do have the right to travel freely, and that is explicitly called out.

    Of course, if you really want the key, you can usually get it with a set of pliers. This assumes that your subject knows the key at all.

    The question is whether the gub si within their rights to tell people not to go there. I'm talking about legal support, not realpolitik.

    Try reading for context. We have the right to free travel between states. It's questionable whether the ban on travel to cuba is actually legal, but nobody, to my knowledge, has pressed the issue. They just go there on a boat (no stamps) or use a student visa. Hell, you can go to Pakistan or N Korea and we're technically at war with N Korea.

    Metal Detectors test for guns sold in the US, not guns sold outside the US with lower metal content. Or Ceramic guns. Or Knives without metal (say those nice expensive Kyoceria ceramic knives).

    There's no such thing as a ceramic gun. glocks have metal barrels and plastic frames.
