I wish i had more time to explain hunting to all the people who bad-mouth it and have never experienced it. I also wish people who don't care for hunting and don't want to learn anything about it before spouting off would just shut the fuck up.
the only possible threat to humans is in the brain and spinal cord....i didn't say that's how it's spread. And, why are you asking me how it's spread? The article says that they don't know how it spreads...
In Wisconsin we sure as hell care about deer. Not "deers" you bonehead. Deer hunting is a vital part of the economy of many states and important to the culture of the people in these states. Maybe if you lived there you'd understand, so don't go saying nobody cares about deer.
They know it's carried in the brain and tissue of the spinal cord. If you don't cut into the brain or spinal cord when butchering the animals, you have nothing to worry about. You can handle all the meat from the animals that you want with no effects to you at all.
does tv even really matter? go get yourself a mountain bike, or skis, or a motorcycle and get out and enjoy this country before we can't enjoy it anymore.
Hey, if this can be done, market the sucker to celebrities that want to get away from the media...have one of these tucked into a hill...and the stalkers, paparazzi, crazy fans..won't even know they're hiding there.
Only a retard would stop or try to dodge a goddamn squirrel in the road. The best way to get in an accident is to attempt to miss the animal in front of you. The best way to avoid an animal is to aim at it. It's more likely to get out of the way than get hit. I've seen enough screwed up cars because some dumb-ass city bitch swerved or tried to pile on the brakes for a little animal and end up wrapped around a tree or in the ditch or rear ended by the other stupid city driver tailgating them. I live in the middle of nowhere in northern WI. If you want to die, swerve for a squirrel.....
Oh, "Accidents happen becuase people are dumb" Yeah, dumb in trying to save the life of one animal and risking their life and the lives of others on the road.
p.s. I drive a SUV. And, if you swerve for a stupid little animal and hit me head on, we'll see if you live, and who's to blame for the accident and paying all kinds of $$ after I sue your stupid ass.
I can already see that this new chip is going to work great in notebooks...but why not push it toward the desktop market too? The noise created and the amount of electricity used by some of today's desktops is horrible. This chip would allow a fast, ultra-quiet desktop (or tiny footprint computer) and won't ratchet up your electric bill by turning the computer on. Back to 200 watt power supplies anyone???
i just wanted to get the first post, yet say something that meant something - unlike anyone else who gets first post, just had to do it quick, got the second post though:-(
My brother lives in LaCrosse, and he gets ok service w/ USCell... Sucks that it will be getting worse though, cuz when i go there i know my phone uses USCell towers, if it gets too bad i can go without a cell phone, done it before, can do it again. Maybe the loss of quality is all those FIB's coming up 90 and 94 and taking the connections from us:-)
Haven't had any real issues w/ my Verizon service while at school in Milwaukee, WI. or anywhere else in the state, can't complain at all...maybe cuz back in my hometown nobody has a cell phone, hell, we're all hicks anyways...
Being a farmer, there is nothing to worry about in this case, or really any other crops. Corn and soybeans have been genetically modified for a long time, mostly to result in larger harvests, and lately to resist some herbicides that would normally kill it(RoundUp). The tiny bit of corn that grew in this soybean field is 2nd generation, known to farmers as volunteer corn. Any volunteer corn is far from the original in its chemical makeup. It will never grow to what its parent was due to the treatment the original seed corn gets at the seed corn plant. (Seed corn being the corn you buy in bags to plant in the spring.) So, if you think you're going to be harmed by this genetically altered corn, it's too late, corn has been altered for years. Although, this corn was altered for a different reason, but a tiny bit of this mixed in with thousands of bushels of soybeans isn't anything anyone should give a shit about.
15" wireless screen for $1299....plus whatever you pay for the box running Windows....just get a friggin' laptop w/ a wireless network card. And, what's the battery life on one of these gonna be anyways? My guess: shitty.
If anyone has noticed, hard drive warranties have been shrinking due to the quality, size, speed, etc of newer drives. It's getting hard to find a 3 year warranty on IDE drives lately, 1 year is becoming standard and there's even DOA warranties on some drives now. This boils down to huge sizes spinning fast...so if we wanted 10k rpm IDE drives today, that would essentially make warranties on drives nonexistent. I think the best bet us consumers can do is only purchase IDE drives with 3 year warranties, even if it will cost a couple bucks more. Manufacturers will keep pushing crappy IDE drives on us, and if we tell them we don't want short-life drives with our $$ they might decide to up their quality and evenutally we could end up with 10k rpm drives that are reliable and fast as hell. I don't know about you, but i'm sick of RMA'ing drives...
Ok, so it supposedly acts as "virtual dual processors"....so where the hell are the benchmarks against a dual Athalon setup? It would be nice to see if it can even stack up to that....
WD said there wasn't a 3 year warranty on that drive..which doesn't make sense, it's a WD300BB, pretty new model. I mean it isn't that old. Plus the place i bought it from won't do anything about it either....guess i'll have to file a complaint on both.
I can't really take sides when it comes to hard drives nowadays. Best bet I can say is buy ones with 3 year warranties. If we all continue to buy drives with 1 year or DOA warranties, the manufacturers are just going to keep pumping us with crappy equipment. But, some of this might come down to how we take care of our equipment. We have to keep these newer drives cool, and we have to pay attention to what they're doing. If you catch one odd action right away, you got a much better shot at saving what you have on the drive. I can't take sides on brands. I had 3 maxtor 20gig 7200 rpm drives go, 2 within one month of receiving the drive. The latest is still working. Sucks that I lost a ton of pictures from my digital camera. (dumped them to the drive to wipe out my laptop's hd, which normally holds the pictures, then the drive died) I just recently had a WD go, and somehow they won't honor the warrany...i won't buy one of theirs anymore. I have a couple Fujitsus, and they are running good so far. And, i've yet to see a Samsung drive go.... I guess we just gotta keep backed up, and take care of our drives. Just don't sell out for the cheaper price if you're not getting a decent warranty.
This opens a whole can of worm on ethical issues. You can look at it that pigs will die just to help people out and that the pigs will have no choice to die and to just be raised for organs. For all you animal rights wackos out there, think of it this way: If your friend, brother, sister, father, etc... is going to die, and they say the only way for them to live is to raise a pig with a new organ for transplant, I'm sure you'll want that important person to live. Pigs aren't very unique, granted some are pets and they can be one of a kind, but your brother, sister, mom, so on is a very special one of a kind person that you could never replace with just any other human. So, think using your heart, not using ethics when thinking about something this.

I think the environmentalists that protest cutting down forests are great....they go protest, then go home to their house made out of wood. Idiots.

"The amount of radioactivity is so miniscule that you don't have to worry about it as much."
yeah, if you don't drop it, shake it, burn it, eat it... sounds great to me!
