I'd love to see more invested in our space program - perferably by a Global Allied Space Association. I guess GASA doesn't have the same ring....
But then again, at this point in time, we can't even solve our problems on earth... and running from earth is pretty expensive last time I checked. It makes me wonder... if all the cash that the current administration has invested in the war was put towards space, where we would be right now? Its very cool that we are getting all this info about Mars, but in reality, what else are we going to do? There isn't any sort of hope that we will be able to develop any sort of fast transport in space, so unless that happens, it will remain 'unmanned missions with cameras'.
my point is that we can't even do the simple stuff - mail... how do we expect to beat encryption over myspace, proxied through an FTP server in thailand? i'm sure we could go on and on, but lets face it... these terrorists are not idiots... they can carry out what they plan... The leaders probably got their educations at the same places we did!
I'd love to see some percentages on this stuff... sure I had my fair share of spills on my bike when I was a kid but no helmet would have done much to help me out, but yet you won't see a kid under 15 without one. I swear they are just a way to make some cash.
But thats what we get for living in a world run by people who fear the unknown so greatly. Maybe our next president will be an atheist or something... I'm not say it would be better, but different could always be good. Don't get me wrong and call this flamebait.... I've seen lots of the personal clips of our current president, and he seems like a really fun guy and i'm sure I would have liked hanging out with him... I just don't want him in the seat he is.
there were no tests, but they could have NOT taken blood from prisoners with the same needles, then concentrated it down.... I'm just thanking whatever god is out there that I didn't get HIV... My doctor when I was very young suggested a treatment that would have given me AIDS 100% chance. Luckily my mother had done her research enough to know it wasn't safe enough yet. I think I got the medicine that infected me (monoclate-p) after they developed the HVC test, but i'm really not quite sure. Frankly, after six months of interferon + ribovirin treatment, then having atrial fib from the side effects, then trying it again, and 8 months in having the same thing happen, but continuing the last 3 months, and then having the treatment not work, i'm sick of caring.
I did hear that overseas they have developed a treatment that affects the RNA of the virus directly istead of tricking around with your body, but i'll just have to wait for the FDA to take their slow time with the process of approving it... anyone care to start a fund so ill be able to afford it?:)
yah, i try to use styptic pencils but they just mostly sting more than do anything helpful. Yet another downer. The really sad thing is that the pharmco's are making so much cash off the few of us (i think the ratio is 1:10,000) but do you ever see any charity jars in your local stop and shop for hemophiliacs?
I'm not going for a sob story, i've long ago made peace with my situation and the lovely hep C that was given to me by Bayer when they were so kind as to make 'the newest, latest and greatest' product back in '88 or so that eliminated long stays in the hospital while bags of plasma were injected. Instead, you just mixed up a batch of freeze dried factor IIX that came from *dubious* sources.
Sorry to get off topic there... I havn't made peace with Bayer for that.
this would be great... if I cut myself shaving its a real pain in the ass... I have to doctor myself for a good hour to get some litle nicks to stop. My shots to stop bleeding cost around 1,000 bucks a pop, so its not like I can just give myself a shot for a minor nick - granted this won't help with joint bleeds, but hey, as long as they don't charge an arm and a leg for the stuff, i'll be happy.
Now if I could just rub it on the skin to stop joint and muscle bleeds... wow... a gift from heaven?
M$ didn't do this to shut down pirates... they know that people will easily get around any protection they can muster. Its so they can work less and concentrate on other things - and to not worry about the people who havn't bothered installing SP2 yet for some reason.
I remember back when adult swim was getting big and they got the highest ratings of any cable channel. I cheered... and then family guy came back on fox.
HURRAH FOR ADULT SWIM'S NEILSON RATINGS!!!! And thanks for all the/.'ers who contributed... becuase I know a lot of you did:)
John Stewart is a true patriot. He was on crossfire a while back (i'm sure its on youtube or something). He reamed the hosts up and down for how they are doing a piss poor job of doing thier job, and instead are making it nothing but drivle. The hosts even had the nerve to compare their show to his, and he laughed at them and told them it was on comedy central.
and I can say no chance with 100% accuracy becuase of one event that we all know and love. Ashley Simpsons' lip sync on SNL.
People want to see people playing instruments - we can hear a synthesizer anywhere... chances are about 10% of the people who read this will use some sort of synthesizer along with their guitar playing or whatever. I really don't feel the need to say more...
its more likely the plants are using the force... i'm not kidding man!!! Have you seen the size of the midichlorians on tomatoes??? I'd want to get close to them too!
Thats what I heard at least. And ~120 odd of these malls have closed down to become places of business... and guess what most type of the business is? Low paying wage jobs with people who know about computers...
Lets do some math..
low paid people + people with computer knowledge (at least enough to fire up limewire) = low CD sales.
anyone care to check my math here? Or could it also be said that we could have all had about 300 more CD's than we currently have now if gas prices weren't what they are?
I could care less about this sort of thing... I'm sure we've all seen the vid of arnie toking it up, so what is a couple of free speach (legal) remarks going to do? I for one am really against dumbasses and actors in our seats of government, but this is just... well... i dunno... First off, if there is a master race on the planet, it is going to end up being blacks mixed with other races. I mean, its pretty sad, but we selectively engineered them to be the "best slaves you could" get... so if you end up mixing a black person with a white person (or hispanic or latino) you are going to end up with a 'hot' person. Its all about genes, and lets face it, when it comes to physical aspects, blacks probably have an advantage over every other race... well, african americans - that should be HIGHLY clarified.
If you found anything in my post racist, well... sorry - get a sense of reality/sense of humor.

everyone can be tracked.

On a totally unrelated note, i'm LOVING the spell checking in firefox 2

I know of people who recieve cardboard boxes from FEDEX filled with 20 lbs of weed... I think the internet is the least of our problems.

Fox News... no particular show... that channel is evil
skateboarding how? I guess the large price tag already proves you can get laid, so you don't need to do flip tricks and grinds.
I believe crossfire was canceled soon afterwards

they don't list the one I use... is that selfish? YUP!
you have so many old and senile volenteers (sp)!! To miscount for you!
this will be the final stake through the domestic car production's heart.. if you think that is a good thing...
I have problems don't I?

no one else said it, so I must... thats a really 1337 number you have there....
