You think Patton ever said, "Alert my carrier for my arrival"?
No. General Patton wouldn't have a carrier. Perhaps "Alert my headquaters to prepare for my arrival." Ah, but no, he surprised II corps HQ.
Gen Bradley: "George, we weren't expecting you until later."
Gen Patton: "So I gather."
Rock the vote. Be a part of 20 million loud, this November 4.
Uh, just out of curiosity, what vote on Nov. 4 do you want people to rock? I plan on casting my vote on Tuesday November 2nd, which is election day in the US.
How the gun companies have managed to, ahem, dodge the bullet in this regard so long is beyond me.
Maybe because manufacturers aren't responsible for the criminal misuse of their products?
Would you sue the big three if you were hit by a drunk driver?
If a gun manufacturer sold a gun that blew up in your hand, or didn't fire when it was supposed to, then they would be responsible for that, just like any other company who makes an unsafe product.
I learnt a valuable lesson that day my friends. Don't forget your towel (of al foil).
Or, depending on your state's laws, just keep walking out the door. In some states store security can't stop you based solely on an alarm. At the Kmart I used to work at, the anti-theft alarm would go off all the time and no employee would even look up, it was up to the customer to turn around and come back in. Works out great if you're taking a 19" TV out of the store on a cart and don't want to pay for it. (Actually happened, people walked right out the door with the TV in plain sight and no one bothered even asking to see a receipt.)
You must ensure that your activity (including, but not limited to, use made by you or others of any Personal Web Features) does not improperly restrict, inhibit, or degrade any other user's use of the Service, nor represent
(in the sole judgment of Comcast) an unusually large burden on the network. In addition, you must ensure that your activities do not improperly restrict, inhibit, disrupt, degrade or impede Comcast's ability to deliver the Service and monitor the Service, backbone, network nodes, and/or other network Services.
So, what they say about limits being in their AUP is true...from a certain point of view. After sending you one of these letters however, they should at least have the decency to inform you of what, "in the sole judgement of Comcast," is an unusually large burden on the network.
Does the term "foreign terrorism" not include the people who died from exposure to anthrax two years ago?
Sorry, I've been out of the loop the last couple of months, did they ever figure out who was responsible for the anthrax attacks? I seem to remember hearing theories that it was DOMESTIC, i.e. NOT foreign, in origin.
And so does just about everyone else on the ship. Even civilian contractors for the DoD have these cards. So, when can I expect the cease and desist letter that demands I turn over all smart cards and related technology in my possession? Do I get to tell them to fuck off since it's illegal to turn my military ID over to anyone else?
Also, never mind that miitary spending is mandated in the Constitution, Social inSecurity, welfare, Medicare, Medicade, etc are not even mentioned and therefore are unconstitutional as they should be a state option as per the 9th Amendment which states in part, "powers not delegated to the Congress are reserved for the several States..."
Maybe, if they can figure out where all the shit gets hooked up to for the "special" section. It seems that General Dynamics doesn't have any actual blueprints for the ship. It was all drawn on computer and somebody apparently deleted the file, either that or Windows crashed and burned. On the plus side, the current crew will probably never have to take that abonimation to sea.
Why else would one of the biggest tax breaks ever go to the top 1% and not the middle class and poor.
Gee, maybe because they don't pay taxes to begin with? Kinda hard to get a tax cut when you don't pay any taxes now isn't it?
According to the IRS, The top 50% of wage earners pay a whopping 96% of all Federal income taxes. The top 5% pay over half (56%)!
Oh, and before you think that just because somebody is in the top 50% they should get hosed, chances are you're saying you want to get hosed on taxes. The top 50% begins at $27,600. Not exactly rich by any definition, except for most 3rd World countries. I'm willing to bet some/. 'ers who think only the rich get tax cuts fall into the top 5% of wage earners, that block starts at $128,000. Just remember that the next time Tom Daschle, Ted Kennedy, and Hillary Clinton whine about tax cuts for the rich.

Two things:
You're right an F6 tornado is inconceivable, because there is no F6. The Fujita scale only goes to F5.
As far as tornadoes jamming a piece of straw through a tree, that description is kind of misleading. The tornado doesn't just stick a piece of straw through a tree like a needle going into your arm. The straw isn't strong enough for that. The tornado's winds actually twist the tree in such a way as to create space between the wood grains and the piece of straw goes through this space. What's really amazing is that said tree is still even standing after this happens to it.

Further more, it's also significant that changing the foam on the launch vehicle won't necessarily solve the problem considering the number of pieces of junk in orbit. Hardening the leading edges of the orbiter would.
Actually, I read someplace, can't remember for the life of me where, that NASA recently changed the type of foam being used on the tanks to comply with the Clean Air Act's prohibition on freon usage. It seems the old foam contained relatively small amounts of freon, and despite the fact that NASA could have easily gotten an exemption, they chose not to. According to the story, the old, freon containing foam didn't have nearly as many incidents of flaking as the new stuff does. Will attempt to find the source of this story.
when was the last time someone attacked Canada...no wait, when was the first time someone attacked Canada...????
In answer to both of your questions, their neighbors to the South, twice. The Continental Army invaded Canada during the Revolutionary War. Then the US Army invaded Canada again during the War of 1812.
Now that apartheid in South Africa has been for the most part eradticated, Japan and Israel are the two most racist states on Earth
A substantial portion of the Israeli citizenry is of Arab decent, and guess what? Many of them are elected to office!
Now let's compare this to the Palestinian Authority. Non Arabs in leadership roles of any kind - 0.0%. They are all Arabs. While we're on the subject, who runs Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, Qatar, United Arab Emirates (let's think about that one), and Syria? Arab males, mostly un-elected dictators. Percentage of population that is not Muslim-Arab? Roughly zero. Who's racist? Don't believe everything you see on CNN.
Oh, and what about Zimbabwe? The black run government is stealing land owned by white farmers. Now they are facing a major famine, go figure. Let's see who else is guilty of racism to the degree you accuse Japan and Israel of...Rwanda, Bosnia (very few Serbs left), Croatia (again, very few Serbs left), Kosovo Albanians (yet again, very few Serbs left), Macedonian Albanians, gee, that's at least 2 strikes against Albanians that I'm aware of.
Methinks you need to get more informed of the way the world really looks.
I for one don't have to unwad a bill far enough to see a number to tell what is is. If you're exposed to it long enough, you pretty much have the bill photograhed in your brain.

No, if a substantial portion of the bill is intact it can still be spent. Now anyone who thinks the corner is supposed to be taped on and look disjointed....
Hear! Hear! Most Americans when they think of money, think GREEN!! As about 500 other posts have said "read the *&^@in' number!
As for security, on the $10 bill and up, the number on the bottom right corner of the face changes color when viewed from different angles. It only takes a second to verify, believe me, I've done it many times.
And yes, I'm familier with the phrase "Not worth a Continential." Also parlays well with "not worth the paper it's printed on." (23yrs old)
the reason the US has the most counterfit dollars is because we don't chance the look of are bills for very long periods of time
WRONG!
and one of our dallors usually goes a very long way in other countries
Right the second time. If Rubbles were worth more than dollars and were like Visa, (accepted everywhere you want to be) they would be counterfeited at much higher rate than dollars. It doesn't matter how often the money is changed, it's just like whenever some new "unbreakable" code comes out, some kid with blue hair cracks it.
I have several CD's that don't have said offial label anywhere, however, they still work in my PC. I was even able to rip them with no problem. Although, one of them does use the acronym CD on the package. When you say the graphic was small, are you refering to the official Compact Disc Digital Audio logo?
The problem with that is, once it's opened, most stores will NOT give you a refund. The most you can hope for is a never ending cycle of returning and exchanging defective discs.
"This disc is defective, it won't play on my CD player. Can I get a refund?" "Sorry, store policy, you can't get a refund, all you can do is exchange it for the same title." "OK."
One hour later... "This one's defective too." "Ok.."
One hour later... "This one's defective too." "Ok.."
One hour later... "This one's defective too." "Ok.."
One hour later... "This one's defective too." "Ok.."
You get the picture. Of course eventually, the store will run out of said title. And not to mention get real tired of hearing "This one's defective too."
