So wait...is this one of the few federal entities that actually has net income instead just spending it all?
dubya should base all his initiative programs like the DNC.
so does Santa have to charge vsales tax if he has a business prescene in China? or is he still operating on the Amazon business model and only putting wholly owned subsidiaries while maintaining corporate offices in the North Pole?

don't you mean
Fear is the path to the dark side.
Fear leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to suffering.
Yoda said it so it must be the truth.
it's still funny how these handgun bans are supposed to work. Ok you can go buy an AK47 and a Mossberg 12ga shotgun but you can't buy a 2 shot Derringer because it's a pistol.
next up, my hometown Chicago's pistol ban! down with daley!
Exactly. That it passed is scary. Constitutional rights are for American citizens and don't apply to the rest of the world. This issue was already decided, correctly I might add, repeatedly in the past. Look it up.
I suppose we just toss habeas corpus out the window if a non citizen commits any crime? we should just torture and execute them on the spot, right? because those damn immigrants have no bearing in our Bill of Rights.
A wise asian person (me) once said(5 seconds ago) that you don't need a sledgehammer to put a thumbtack in the wall.
likewise, you don't need to commute to work by yourself in a 5000pound 6 person SUV. sure you may need your 6 person suv people carrier when you and your buddies go out, but not when you're commuting to work.
we as commuters need to realize that the size of the car should reflect the number of passengers. why isn't there anything in the market for a 1 or 2 person enclosed commuter car with a 500cc engine? a commuter vehicle doesn't need to go 0-60 in 5 seconds and have a trunk capacity of 100 cu ft. it just needs to go 0-60.
commuters in europe and asia have already realized this with submini's and kei cars. why are us americans so thick in the head?
I have two things to say about terrorist and airports. you may not like it, but I think it's the truth and a reasonable person can't deny the truth
1) the terrorists won. not only in terms of 9/11 attack being carried out, but the repercussions of that event. it was the purpose of the attack to strike fear into americans and change their american ways of freedom. look where we are now. we have changed all this infrastructure and spent billions of trillions of dollars to prevent such another attack. if you analyze the dollar economics of terrorist attack on NYC, it was a very good investment on their behalf. they spent a couple of weeks in an small plane training course, took over a couple of planes with box cutters and plastic knives and proceeded to kamikaze into the enemy's central financial and political centers. they probably spent like...$10,000? $50,000? compared to how many dollars have we spent as a result?
2) airport security. as mentioned, it's such a scam. ppl aren't secure. you're not safer than you were before 9/11. you only think you're safer. you really believe that 20 extra police cruisers sitting at the entrance of the airport terminal is going to stop another terrorist from parking a van full of fertilizer like the 1993 WTC attack? come on people. traveling by airplane is no safer than it was before. NSA and FBI will probably come after me for saying this but....if anyone intelligent (like us folks here at/.) were to devise ways to bring down an airplane given current security measures, I will wager that we could come up with a handful by lunchtime.
Is it just me or does no one else recognize that as the handle of a lightsaber?:)
This can take Jedi Knight II to a whole new level if the game supported it.
wouldn't it be great to be the sys admin in charge of that firewall? u could smuggle in packets of data for a price. hehehe

here I am reading this article in a classroom... in a class "Introduction to Perl Programming" ..... how ironic.
engine searches you!
that's what it is anyway. We already have an AA law....and we all know how well that works *sarcasm*

and 640K ought to be enough for anybody
why not just define a kg as 1 Liter of pure H2O at 4deg C?....it is that way anyway.

Santa will have to move his business to a new warehouse at the south pole instead. Oh noes!
