Has anyone out there done it with Debug or Norton's Disk Editor? I have a drive with scrambled partition tables that I used a recovery program on and then discovered it might have been Chernobyl infected so now it's worse than when I started and it looks like I'm going to have to copy to another drive in small handfuls of bytes at a time. Any helpful suggestions, dire warnings, etc.?
An ammendment to the Constitution, once ratified and in force, becomes part of the Constitution, and as such, cannot be unconstitutional. It may conflict with previously in force parts of the Constitution, but that's what ammendments are for, to make changes and additions.
Of course the example you cite, the 18th Ammendment, is excellent proof that a ratified ammendment isn't necessarily a good or smart ammendment. We in the U.S. are free enough, however, to institute changes in our constitution whether they are good for us or not. (I freely admit that whether or not they are good for us is a matter of opinion and subject to unending debate.)
Some of the hijackers went to a strip club the night before. When your religion basically tells you "Don't think about sex." chances are that that will result in a lot of sexual obsession.
Also, they probably included the pictures to be sure to get the people who saw the letter to spend a lot of time looking at it and handling it and showing it to others, even if it was just "Hey boss, look what kind of filth was in this returned letter.".
Of course, since it was returned, it never got to the addressee, and since it was sent to a country with lots of censorship, maybe it was mailed out with that stuff in it, opened at the P.O. in Indonesia, the porno was seen, and the envelope was re-sealed and sent back to MS-Reno.
The stuff I get on eBay arrives sooner and for a lower fee via USPS than it does via UPS. If the only shipping offered is FedEx, I don't even bid because of the higher fees, might as well go to the store and buy it new.
The other day I had the pleasure of handing my mother a letter in her late mother's handwriting, one which had been received, opened and read in 1969 and then used as a bookmark. It languished in that book for the next 30+ years until I chanced upon it.
I don't think finding an old file in a long ignored sub-directory would have been quite the same.
By the way, that Levy guy works at Newsweek and the article is posted at MSNBC, not NBC.
"I don't know how much economic development the State of Maine would get out of subsidizing folk's high-speed internet acess that wouldn't be better invested in roads or schoolbooks..."
Yeah, we wouldn't want to attract residents with high incomes who pay lots of property taxes and have a lot of money to spend in local businesses.
If bin Laden thinks getting George ticked at him might have been a mistake, wait'll he faces the wrath of Bill.
At least George has to try to make it look as though he's staying within the limits of the law and for the most part respecting the sovereignty of other countries. Bill, on the other hand...
"I think when all of this flag waving, go-America sentiment dies down, laws like this may be struck down or repealed.."
The Federal Income Tax was instituted as a temporary measure to cover the cost of the Spanish-American war. I hope that you are right, but I'm not very confident of it.
"First off, your house has to be networked - this does seriously reduce its saleability!:-)"
Why? Assuming that you did a professional job of it rather than just punching holes in the sheetrock and leaving cables hanging out. Isn't this like saying that wiring for telephones or cableTV reduces resale value?
However, since this only transmits the analog audio output from your soundcard you still have to leave the room where your stereo is to go to the room where your computer is to get it to play the song (as opposed to transferring the file) and then go back to the room where the stereo is, and if you change your mind and want to alter the playlist you've got to go back to the room with the computer, lather, rinse, repeat.
While a frat party might be an excellent place to test the maximum capacity for amplitude of a sound system, I'm not so sure it's the ideal environment for assessing other qualities such as fidelity in reproduction of the input.
If you think that the Department of Agriculture isn't a critically important government agency try going without food for a week or eating tainted meat.

Thanks for clearing that up, I was starting to wonder if I could increase resale value by giving the mildew and the termites free reign.
When I used to sweep the floor at a printing shop I didn't go around telling people that I was a publishing executive.
How do you know that his wife isn't part of the RIAA secret police, searching for pirates?

Next time include a little bit of talcum powder in the envelope, you'll be sure to hear back from the government.

Isn't pacbell Pacific Bell? Aren't you talking about Packard Bell?

Perspiring minds want to know, where other than home do you keep your non-legal MP3 collection? :-)
You are a true visionary and I salute you.
In Windows relying on things to be stored in places that make sense can often lead to severe disappointment.
Wonder if "Tourist Guy" is on the phone screaming at his press agent about being upstaged.
As long as the bet is based on American currency, right?

Which brings us back to my original question--What about one of these would need to be anything other than text?
