I normally do not support the death penalty, but I think those responsible for gator should be executed in a shocking and public manner, such as public beheadings or a firing squad. These people are a menace to society, and probably cannot be reformed so just trowing them in prison until they change their ways would not be adequate.
No one on earth could do anything about it, but not everyone who goes to the moon is from earth. The Zhti Ti Kofft would probably destroy any U.S. base in no time, or at least conquer it, and say ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!
Coca is becoming resistant to herbicide spraying, and soon it will be futile. It is a shame that this didn't happen in time to save Saskra Root. Coca-Cola tastes like ass since they ran out of it. Read more.
The real reason NASA is ditching the Vomet Comet is that it has become obsolete. It would do nothing to prepare astronauts for the experience of being hurled into orbit with the X-4000 Launch Aparatus.
This is a clear example of how "intellectual property" laws are nothing but censorship. They don't promote the progress of science and the useful arts anymore, they impede it. Perhaps they always did. Locking up an idea as property is ultimately the same as suppressing it.
Actually, all TVs have been spying on us since the V-Chip was introduced. The real question here is what was this guy doing that set the alarm off. Maybe he was trying to disable the V-chip without knowing how to do it correctly.
At last, some good news! Not all the judges republicans have loaded the federal courts with are fascists. This could still be overturned on appeal, though.
The right to assemble is the part of the first amendment most often trampled upon, and least often affirmed, but this is a victory!
I have done some digging, and the reason the Democrats and Republicans have automatic ballot access, and others must collect signatures seems to be in states' laws, not their constitutions. I apologize for just repeating what I have always heard without further research, but it is worth noting that the Kerry/Bush debate went on as scheduled without the Libertarian candidate. Whether by constitution, or ordinary law, there are many hurdles in the way of minor political parties.
The Constitutions of most states clearly establish a two party system. If Arizona's does not, it will by their next legislative session. There is a reason why all minor party candidates are called "third party" even if there are a dozen of them, all nominated by different parties. Right or wrong, that is the system we have, and it will probably never change.
Here's the real story. The Zhti Ti Kofft (martians) were about to be found, and photographed. To avoid this, they disabled the rover. Read more about them.
Like most people under the age of 65, I have to be at work that day, so I can't volunteer to work at the polls. I vote either before or after work. That is why the volunteers are always retirees. If election day were a nationwide day off, us working stiffs could volunteer, too. It will probably never happen though.

Even if the system could be hacked, he said, it could only be done by a person with "unfettered access to the system." Bear noted that elections are not just the machines, but also the people who work the elections.
"Quite honestly it's somewhat insulting to elections officials and volunteers," he said to the idea that elections officers would tamper with vote results.
At every election I have voted in, the officials and volunteers are retirees who have VCRs flashing 12:00! They would never know it if some young whipper-snapper was farting aroung with the newfangled high-tech whizbang voting machines, nor will they be able to help anyone if the machines screw up.
You can password protect every system in the place, install a firewall and every kind of malware scanner, but people can still be hacked.
If somebody calls the twinkiehead receptionist claiming to be from I.T., will she answer every question he asks? If an outsider claiming to be one of the big bosses calls the help desk saying he's locked out, and needs his password reset, will they do it for him? When the guys in the server room go to lunch, do they lock the door? If you sweet talk the fat old man dressed as a cop, will he use his own keycard to let you into a secured room?
People are easy to hack, and hard to secure, but training courses for them are a better investment than new whizbangs.

These would also be a cheaper way than satellites for big brother to watch.
I wonder if he was the one behind the X-4000 debacle? If so, maybe that's why he's being pushed out.
I don't know about that. If the Zhti Ti Kofft are developing biological weapons, they will probably work.

Want a robot for a companion? How about one that actually does something practical. Get grannie and gramps a Roomba.
Funny you should mention an alien attack. One destroyed the last comet probe, CONTOUR.
If you have a genuine copy of Windows XP, the hologram on your CD will say, "genuine". If you have a counterfeit copy, the hologram will say, "bogus".

Instead of relying on the courts to help them in Bush's United States of Avarice, they should unionize, and strike.
Pissing off the Chinese and the Russians by militarizing space is no big deal. It's pissing off the Zhti Ti Kofft we have to worry about!
CBS Sees no Journalism in Blogs... ...and bloggers see no journalism on CBS (or NBC or ABC, or CNN or FOX, etc.)
Last time they had a competition like this, the winning submission was the X-4000 Launch Aparatus, which is yet to be successfully used.

In case no one pointed this out yet, neither A in RIAA stands for artists. It is the Recording Industry Association of America.
It is a bad investment to only buy basic protection when you can get Pre-Paid Illegal Services. Now that's an offer you can't refuse!
