People who don't understand this obvious argument tend not to be in love. A simple test would be to look at your wife or husband, and see if you say "I'm so in love with this person that it would be inhumane for other people this in love not be allowed to marry". Unfortunately some influential religions/social structures encourage marriage for the wrong reasons, such as permission to have sex or to enter into adulthood. I find it hard to believe that any person who is capable of abstract thoughts and who has experienced true love would be against gay marriage.
This exact same thing happened in the US. Driver couldn't stop car etc, etc. police cleared the road and blocked all the lights. right before a bad intersection brakes started to work again! Mechanics checked the car and couldn't find anything wrong. The Mechanics were unable to explain how so many independent systems could fail at the same time (ignition switch, transmission, brakes, parking brake...) then it happened again. After reviewing the police tape of the second time, the auto manufacture noticed that the slowed down at corners, and the brake lights would come on right before intersections. It turned out that the driver was upset that she felt the auto dealer had given her a bad deal, and she wanted to trash the car manufactures reputation. Sounds similar to this case. The funny final twist of the story above is that when they announced they were going to press charges against the driver, she drove her car into a wall to total it, so it couldn't be used as evidence against her!!!

This is a good thing as multiple choice got me this far in life...
how they don't pay....

Paid To Spam

· Score: 1
I checked out there web site. They only pay you when you've 'earned' over fifty dollars. If you are running a Spam relay, most ISP will cut you off before you ever get to 50 hours, and so you never actually qualify to get a payment.
I was under the impression that many of these tunnels were filled with inert gasses, such as SF6 to prevent this exact sort of problem. I assume its very hard to keep an old tunnel air tight, but I would expect it would be a higher priority to keep at the major backbones air free.. is this practice not as common as I thought?
If the military want to get a bunch of computer specialists, they can just hire them. Drafts are usually only used to acquire cannon fodder because the people who get drafted are often the unrepresented class. It hardly seams fair to pay one CS student's way thought college with ROTC, and then hijack another grad's career without proper compensation.
Author the DVD on your mac friend's computer, and then duplicate it on your own;)
IDVD and Imovie come free with Macs, and have a nice simplicity/power trade off. I know this is not useful for the person who posted, but is maybe something you want to think about when buying a new computer (plus, you know, chicks dig the mac).
I remember there was a commotion about gifts being given to employees at a VA hospital near me a few years ago. Basically the result was the management said any gift worth more than ~$20 must be given to a charity. I bet a lot of schools and charities would love that software.
This is how companies save money. They give the cheapos to most people, and only give the more expensive items to people who complain. With most companies, complaining can get you some crazy good deals. If you are a 'good' customer, phone companies will go out of there way to serve you.

China's War Against Wires
·
· Score: 5, Informative
The wires are such a mess that they would be considered a clear safety hazard by most peoples standards. I was in Shanghai (one of the most advanced cities in china) and I took some photos of both how low the wires were (as low at 4 feet off the ground!) and the over head rats nest . There was worse, I just didn't have my camera at the time.
I'm pretty sure that by law when phone service goes down (land line) you can get a refund for those times. I assume cell is the same? Watch your bill and be sure to get that $3 back.
but not for internet radio...

TiVo For Radio?
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
It?s interesting to note that this is pretty much exactly what the RIAA was trying to stop internet radio from becoming. Who would have guessed that our old analog radios would have more sophisticated options than our internet radio?
It the RIAA is successful, could an artist (or anyone who makes a mp3 in hopes of a quick payoff) make a similar claim? It seams that Microsoft is just as much (also meaning NONE) to blame than these four kids. The big difference is that Microsoft would not loose this legal battle (and thus would set a good precedent), and Microsoft does have $97B.

Although I'm sure the method you described result in much better roads for seasonal use, they may be overkill for a 1000 mile road that would only be traveled once or twice a year. This would be a similar to the ITASE, an Antarctic traverse that ended up at the South Pole. A photo of the vehicles they used can be found herehere and here. My understanding is that this will be more of a path that is known to be safe, than a road.
As a side note, I'm an Engineer working on IceCube (the project that is justifying this "road") and one of our largest cost is fuel needed to make water. "Paving" an "ice road" 1,000 miles long to the pole would be prohibitively expensive as fuel cost about $20 a gallon by the time it gets to the pole.
I have been on several of these roads. They are more like groomed ski trails than anything else. They are not designed for car use, but rather for large tracked vehicles (similar to large bulldozers). To make the road, a bulldozer pushes excess snow away, and crushes the sastrugi (waves in the snow). Then a large weighed is dragged over the snow to compact it and harden it. The snow will naturally set up, making it hard enough that you can walk on it without sinking in.
The US government has one big wild card. The US government does not allow LC-130 to be sold to other countries. LC-130s are C-130 cargo planes equipped with skis allowing them to land on snow. Effectively meaning that if you want to set up a base anywhere not coastal, you need to ask the US for help. A few tourist operations have gotten around this by finding ice runways, or by using much smaller twin otter planes, bun in general you NEED the US to agree with your plans.
I read their
ELUA , and I couldn't find the part about stealing address books. So I'm not sure they are getting permission. The way I read it, it only lets them get information about me and my machine, not my friends...
