Then we must rule that most female California residents and 99.9% of porn stars aren't human either. Their breast to waist ratio is far from the mean and more than 2 standard deviations off; and the damning evidence is that most male humans wouldn't touch them for fear of dying from some invisible illness....
image if something like the hard drive died in your PVR thingy and you have to deal with the woman whining about how she lost the episode of Friends, Elimidate or Joe Millionaire that she hadn't watched, and that she won't be able to record her all-important tv shows for a couple weeks...makes sense to never set one up...
These drones it just might eliminate those damn drunk pilots, just put a breathalyzer on the joystick of who gets to control it, if you're drunk....it won't let you fly it.
Now all we need is a 15" or 17" flat-panel with a spot in its base for this little sucker to slide into and...tada...something like an imac. I could see some companies maybe wanting something like this: Low power consumption and if the monitor fails, you can just slap the pc into the base of a new monitor. Or easy monitor upgrades...harder to do that with an imac.
What good does this new-fangled crap get me when I can't even get decent reception, much less any reception, when I'm back home? (right betwen Eau Claire and LaCrosse, Wisconsin). Get service(digital-2G) in > 95% of the US and then worry about other shit. I know a lot of people who would get cell phones if they could just get decent(if any) reception. They're missing out, from what I see, as a lot of potential customers. But, there must not be enough possible customers to turn a profit by introducing digital service in certain areas....so we'll just have more hicks without cell phones for a little while longer.
good point. didn't think about that. Yet i would guess creating rain would have more of an adverse effect on the weather than standard irrigation; a lot more moisture going into the air, and likely less falling as rain in the spot desired.
"People have been trying for many years to modify the weather, from tribal rain dances through to experiments in which small crystals were dropped into clouds to attract moisture."
I don't know if anyone has noticed, but to me the weather the past few years hasn't seemed quite normal to begin with. Floods and heavy rain where it normally doesn't rain much, tornados in odd parts of the country, lack of snow where there's usually plenty....So why would we want to modify it by adding extra moisture in the air and making it rain in places which normally receive little rain to begin with? What would be the effects a few hundred miles away? Really, what's wrong with normal irrigation? It works, and doesn't affect the weather.
ok, if something isn't there to affect you...how are you going to get affected by it? do some reading
oh, and CWD has been around for over 20 years...started in the western US....nobody's died from it.
based on what we know is what i stated...where i got my info is easily available from the WI DNR...but, the disease is not found in the meat...testing told us that.
again, like i told someone else....it's not found in the meat, even though the meat has tons of nerves in it. it's only found in the brain, spinal cord, lymph nodes and eyeballs....i doubt anyone will eat those parts of a deer...but eating the safer cuts of meat is a good idea until we really know more about the disease
Some people might not understand that CWD can/is a threat since it is not found in humans and we're not sure if it can spread to cattle and humans. CWD is serious since it is going to require time and money to understand the disease. And, without much understanding, hunting license sales are down and less money that could be used for research is not being spent. We NEED to know what this disease really is and what its possible consequneces to humans and other animals might be. If this disease goes unchecked, what are we going to say when it's too late and humans and cattle get it?? Supposedly, when it was discoverd, mad cow disease wasn't able to spread to humans, yet it's now known that it does...and how do we know that CWD won't spread to humans if the research isn't done, and people are misinformed or uninformed on the issue. Yes, this is important, and the best for all hunters to do is to continue to buy licenses, participate in hunts to erradicate diseased areas, and to do anything they can to help. This disease is critical to the future of people and to the states we live in.

Sorry, but i have to...
Don't worry! With M$ Palladium BIOS Utility you won't be allowed to go near your BIOS. Any BIOS upgrades will be distributed to you unknowingly by M$*
*Microsoft is not liable in the incident where your computer stops responding during a BIOS update. You're screwed. Thank you, have a nice day.
I could use this...always wanted a PWC (personal water craft for you non-educated types) that could do 150+ mph.
One question... What if they run into a school of tuna? ;-)
Kinda makes me think of the "Bass-O-Matic" commercial on Saturday Night Live...
same here!
They're not just looking for an entertainment lawyer...it sounds like they're looking for Bush.

coulda used this a few years back. File...open...Penis.doc...file...print...tada
I wonder if the UN weapons inspectors in Iraq are wearing these watches...

We are having major server problems at the moment. Something is up - we will fix this
maybe the US governement should secure their equipment a little better before they try to secure the internet.....

the DNR advises boning out the meat, not sawing thru the bone...guess they're thinking the same thing.

WI DNR site has a FAQ and other info on CDW here
if you'd read anything or listen to anything, the disease is not found in the meat, even though the meat is filled with nerves....
um...you've never heard of bow-hunting, or still-hunting...go educate yourself on the merrits of hunting before bashing it you fucking retard.
