The US has been quagmired every time the bullets flew since WW2, mostly because politicians and political correctness started dictating targets and rules of engagements as opposed to letting the military do its job.
Me too, since with a little more glue code and maybe integration into some existing Free software it could be several parts of a really good learning management system.
9 years is plenty of time for plenty of training classes. Throw in some sniffer dogs, locked cockpit doors, a marshall on every flight, and the billions that have been wasted on work projects and theatre could in fact have paid for an efficient effective system like the Israelis use...

We tried that, back in 1860... the Fed government didn't like it, not one bit at all...

And there is something wrong with the whole security theatre to begin with...
I've seen instructors fail students after using Turnitin.com's service. What was "non original"? The bibliography page... but on a 2 page paper, the bibliography is 30% or so, and the instructors never looked to see what wasn't original, just how much wasn't original.
Having had plenty of programming before algebra where they actually used the term "f of x" or the f(x) notation, it confused the heck out of me - until one day the instructor let slip with "so what function of X would give this value if X=3". And the 0 turned to a 1 and things became *much* easier for me...
I've been doing the odd stop motion stuff for years w/ webcams, linux, and hte mjpeg tools from Berkeley. Things like an empty conference hall being set up for a large education conference, building construction, etc. Set up a cam on a tripod or other fixed mount, take one pic every minute or 3, save w/ sequential file names. Slam 'em all together at the end using the mjpeg tools.
For a business, you have to multiply many of those needs by as many people using them at one time.
For home too. I have 1.5mb DSL (very far out, bad S:N ratio if I up it to the 3mb service). Just me and the wife surfing and doing email, no problem. ISO downloads and Windows updates while we sleep, no problem. However, if we use Netflix on the Wii and I want to surf or perhaps listen to some streaming audio, the connect gets very bogged down, Netflix pauses every so often to rebuffer, etc.
I'd be happy to upgrade, but w/ the 3mb service I have to manually reset the power switch on my dsl "modem" every hour or so.
There are a few non-toxic shot types available, such as bismuth and soft iron. Required for all waterfowl in the US, also required for many areas due to wetlands, etc.

Except February is the coldest month of the year here in Fl.... which has been known to cause an issue or two with critical parts on the shuttle...
Indeed. After all, what I can do with a measly 8 hints? Why not make a calendar for a full year instead?

Ah, it works fine, most of the time. However, it will eventually catch up to you.
Don't believe me? Ask my wife on 11/22 around noonish when they are delivering humanware release 3.0
Yes, but most were seized by the DEA ...

55 acres in Hawaii. Any idea on cost for the land? $2mil for building something on it is just a drop in the bucket...
Bah, much more impressive when you use your spear and magic helmet...
Because I pump it out of my well, that is tapped into the same aquifer that several water bottling companies use....
And if you lean more towards statistics you can hack away at R
Except Windows NT 4 had a PPC build/install disc option ...

OK, so the "steel" and "steel shot" should've been in quotes.
Copper plated pellets are common in larger birdshot sizes and buckshot - think loads for geese, turkeys, etc.
The steel in steel shot is soft iron. :)
Copper plated pellets are usually lead on the inside.

Or if you work as an instructor (even an adjunct) :)
Of course, my local library system (aclib.us) just got a "site wide" Safari subscription, so I can get it online free.
