I wonder what FCC/ologopolies will have to say when someone else starts using their hard lobbied/bribed frequencies.
You meant to type:
I wonder what FCC/ologopolies will have to say when we starts using our hard lobbied/bribed for frequencies.
"
We? Do you mean we as in "We, the People"? If so you are mistaken. We the people didn't lobby or bribe to obtain those frequencies, we already own them. Of course we did have to go through that little unpleasantless with England some time back.
Unless of course by we you're including yourself in our new multi-national corporate overlords.
" So all we need to do to get rid of terrorism is to undo the past 1000 or so years of history."
If only it were that simple. I'm afraid we'd need to set the dials on the wayback machine for at least ten thousand years ago.
(for those who would argue for a literal interpretation of Judeo-Christian scripture, if we wind up a couple or so thousand years further back than the beginning of history you can say we told you so)
"The worst GUI decision ever was to place the Close button in the top right corner in the first place..."
What made it bad was putting it right next to the maximize button, which they did with Windows95. This was after getting survey results which told them half the people responding wanted it left in the upper left hand corner like in Windows 3.x and the other half didn't care.
Of course we are talking about the people who change the shortcut keys for creating a new directory with just about every new version, apparently just to screw with people.
"Part of the problem is that in addition to doing "Sci Fi on the cheap" is that it is most often "Sci Fi on the crap" as well."
I for one would be willing to put up with an effects budget of $1.97 if they'd spend big bucks on good plot, good writing, good characters, good acting, good directing, good editing, etc.
I am extremely disappointed in whichever of my fellow moderators was so lacking in a sense of humor and an appreciation of sarcasm as to have modded the above as a "troll".
"Be warned that the previos poster's opinion is wrong and he's not entitled to it. The PDF isn't related and the other blogger isn't better."
You have mis-understood the (to you) parent poster's attempt at humor. The PDF, which is about what makes web sites credible, is related to his remark that he finds the earlier blogger more credible because the photos are better (and they are). His assertion that the earlier blogger is more credible is arguably humorous because, good photos notwithstanding, the explanation given is that the coffee is heated up by annoyed demons.
" All Gibson SGs are Les Pauls. He designed it to be a more modern looking guitar for the 60s."
If you ask the gentleman in question I believe he'll tell you that he had nothing to do with it. Gibson put his name on the first ones because they still had rights to the use of his name. When the contract expired they quit using his name on them and went with the internal name SG (for Solidbody Guitar).
If you think (as do I) that Krieger did some nice tasty stuff, you might want to give a listen to Gene Cornish on some of the lesser known Young Rascals songs where the keyboard isn't as dominant.
Also check out the Randy Bachman song "Blue Collar" or some of Lenny Breau's work.
"Even sadder still, there are many @#$%ing idiots who actually believe that going to Iraq is flushing out the existing terrorists and not creating new ones!"
Shouldn't that be "...many @#$%ing idiots running our government who actually believe that going to Iraq is flushing out the existing terrorists and not creating new ones!"?
"Secret chatroom...well, it ain't that "secret" anymore now is it ?"
Of course it is. And that "Secret Organization Group of al Qaeda of Jihad in Europe" that are supposed to have put up a web page claiming responsibility for the explosions in London? Yep, still secret.
"The entire stated purpose of the US opening global markets with the WTO to China was to create their dependency on other nations..."
And, of course, it instead will result in their ownership of those other countries. (They underprice everyone else, get lots of country X's currency in exchange for the goods they sell them, then use that currency to buy up X's bonds, T-bills, etc, and various properties and businesses in X.)
Perhaps if you had offered something a little more specific than "Google for it and see for yourself", or, if the location in question had been a bit less at the center of controversy than is Israel, or both, you would have been modded differently.
Also
Your search - "israel phone records" - did not match any documents.
The word "Israel" has to be moved outside of the quotes to get any hits.
" I defy you to even remotely prove that the minority in any branch of congress has the RIGHT to filibuster. What law? What amendment?"
From Article 1, Section 5 of The Constitution of the United States of America:
"Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings..."
The Rules of the Senate currently allow for filibuster under certain conditions, although I doubt they use that specific term. You are correct that it is not a right, as it can be overturned by a sufficient majority of the Senate voting to change their rules, however it is, at present, part of those rules which the Constitution gives the Senate the right to determine for itself.

It's now official. April Fool's Day is no longer necessary.
Jenna or Barbara?
Well sure, if you don't ever plan on coming back. :-)
Until we actually encounter some. Then it'll be business as usual.

Or perhaps anyone who's been in a Best Buy, Circuit City, OfficeMax, Staples, etc. in the past 2 or 3 years?

Really. You'd think that either Sci-Fi or Spike would have stumbled over a no-brainer like that by now.
Perhaps they will be aired in September and the Sci-Fi channel schedule web page only shows July and August listings at this time.
Bulgaria is looking better and better.
From Harry Harrison, creator of "The Stainless Steel Rat", perhaps.

Well, Irene Cara was pretty attractive in her day.

Do these guys understand the meaning of "secret"?
