If it's the Sandra Day O'Connor who would normally advocate restoration of states' rights in the new Federalist manner, but chose to override the Florida State Supreme Court in the matter, then I think it's the same one.
corn is used to produce ethanol, ethanol is burned and gives off carbon dioxide, and corn uses the carbon dioxide as it grows
Ixnay. Politicians know ethanol is crap. It just gives them a better story when pushing for farm subsidies. For more information, see Homeland Defense Funding
I don't use Live Bookmarks; I use Bloglines because I can access it from any computer. But...
I noticed the ads on some of my feeds. They're images instead of text, which bothered me because they are sizeable. Unintrusive is not a word I would use to describe. Sure enough, AdBlock will get rid of them.
From the article: At a minimum: name, birth date, sex, ID number, a digital photograph, address, and a "common machine-readable technology" that Homeland Security will decide on.
* Social security cards have just a name and an address on them (mine is 25 years old, so I could be wrong on this point). * There are at least 50 disparate driver's licensing systems in this country * Ditto for birth certificates. You carry yours around? * Credit cards are not identification, even if Bank of America put your picture on the front. * Ditto for your video card, insurance card, health insurance card, and AAA card.
Passports could work, but they are awkward and not everyone has one. That means you still have to force people to get something.
It sounds to me like you really have two gripes: Two much crap in your wallet and identity theft. There's a simple way to fix the first problem, and I sympathize with the second.
The reality is, though, that because individual states value their own autonomy, there is not currently a federally administered identification method.
In practice, though, corporations' stances on social issues are of importance to consumers. Disney's theme parks are being actively boycotted over partner benefits. Proctor and Gamble's products are being boycotted over perceived animal testing policies. Apple Computers efforts in the area of computer education in public school are worthy.
Saying that no coproration should have any influence or opinion on any matters of public policy is just ludicrous.
And why would that stop the US Government? It didn't stop it from going to war, or continuing it, or providing an extension in welfare programs (drug benefit).
As it turns out, the power-boosting effect is no marketing concoction; it's real. In identical flashlights, Oxyrides produce an obviously wider, whiter circle of light than Duracell Ultras. You can immediately tell the difference in portable fans, too, because the Oxyride fan hums at a higher pitch, a musical step higher than the Duracell one. The Oxyrides even make power screwdrivers spin faster: 364 r.p.m., compared with 316 r.p.m. for the Duracell Ultras.
I would venture to guess that if the vibrator doesn't have a power regulator, it'll vibrate faster. If that'll increase the intensity of a woman's orgasm is left as an exercise for the class.
Isn't a tax just a quicker, more efficient way to raise the price in order to encourage people to drive more fuel-efficient cars?
Put aside all the anti-tax hysteria. Where the additional revenue goes is wholly unrelated does not reduce the effectiveness of the tax - to encourage better vehicle usage.
Would you likewise gripe about a tax cut for people who buy fuel-efficient hybrids? It manipulating taxes in order to reach a goal. Except the tax cut for hybrid owners is worse because there aren't too many poor families that can afford the hiked up prices on hybrids.
After this guys emerges from bankruptcy protection, can I look forward to a steady stream of "recovering from bankruptcy" spams to go along with my "refinance your house" spams?

It is not in the PUBLIC interest for you to be looking at slashdot, posting to wikis, or surfing porn at school. The community has (in thoery) come to a certain set of agreed-upon standards for Internet usage in your high school.
In China, the community did not set the standards for Internet usage; the government did. Just because we have free speech here doesn't mean you can surf porn at school.
I would also like to add that tomorrow you don't sleep through your U.S. Government class. If you've already taken that class, retake it.
If Barry Bonds or Jason Giambi or whoever wants to take steriods, risking hairy backs, tiny nuts, and swollen heads for the sake of their craft, let them! So much the better. Who are they harming?
Does it bother you that your kid takes steroids because they think a professional athlete is? That's a bigger indictment on your inability to instill your values in your kid.
And just so no one thinks this is the only problem in baseball... it's a pretty good chance that if you have Tommy John surgery and can make it back to the bigs, you're going to have a lot more zip on your pitches. How long before pitchers start having this surgery voluntarily?
Weren't the financial markets in super-dire-grave danger because of the effects of the supposed Y2K bug? And now, you're saying that the end of support for VB is going to bring financial markets to a grinding halt? Financial markets survived COBOL and Y2K. It'll probably survive this.

There's no one as short sighted as a bureaucrat. I should know: I am one, and I work with them every day. We regularly do foolish things, to achieve short term, counter-productive goals.
<Nothing personal> So you would think that bureaucrats have high turnover, but it's been my experience that they're more like lifers. How did shortsightedness become job security? </Nothing personal>

Not only is it feasible, but we know where to buy some!
People still make videos, but only under the guise of putting together a Making the Video episode.
While that may be true, no one touts Firefox as "still buggy but releasing fixes faster", is it?
