.. seriousy.. mount a golf bag in the front, put wider tyres on it (to stop it from chewing up the green).. and there ya go. one man, highly maneuverable, golf cart. hell get longer clubs and you don't even have to get off the cart to swing/me runs off to the patent office
it was a collection of shorts/novellas by soem of the top writers to expand the universes they created.
Brin wrote about some of the dolphins from the Uplift Universe, Card wrote about how Ender met Jane, McCaffrey wrote a coda to "the ship who sang" and pohl WROTE THIS AS A SHORT. (there were others but those were my favourites)
now the question is, did he write the short and say "hey this would make a great novel", or when he got the offer to do the compilation did he just hack the novel into a core book and put it out???
i think it was on the discovery channel that i heard this
San Francisco was built mainly on filled up marsh. the 1909 quake shook up the filling which made them settle, collapsing/burying the buildings built on it. later in order to stop land values dropping from the effects of the quake they focused attention on the fire..
i agree with your friend.. quite a few tamils were disappeared by various sri lankan governments. they also did that to a lot of sinhalese, and muslims (odd that a politician who was coming to colombo to dissolve his party's ties with the government should have his helicopter crash into the side of a mountain in good visibility, and that his successor should decide to stay with the coalition) and various other races.
on the other side the LTTE has also had a hand in the disappearances of tamil people (especially people who are critical of them) and sinhalese and muslims..
i am not saying that the ltte or the government is better or worse.. in my view we should just line up and shoot the lot of em
i've lost an uncle to the government of the time, some of my family friends are in exile because if they come back to SL they'd be killed by the ltte
there is little to no government oppression of tamils happening now. in fact the oppression of tamils is by the ltte.. my ex gf's father ( a tamil businessman living in the capital) has been regularly approached by the ltte to "contribute" to the cause (a contribution being in the range of LKR500,000). the punishment for not doing so being death...
trust me on this.. a split is NOT in the best interests of anyone.. if you would like to continue this.. lets take it off the thread to email.
i think you know NOTHING about the sri lankan situation otehr than what you see on TV
this fight we are having is not a civil war.. its a political war in disguise. what both sides (the gubmint and the ltte) want is control over the tamil populace. most of the tamil population just want to be left in peace, as do the sinhalese.
its the uber psycho rightwingers that want separation.
i am sinhalese, my friends come from ALL races... if things work out, i may end up married to a tamil girl.. most of us just call ourselves "sri lankan"
a separation is the worst thing that could happen to BOTH sides. the politicals would love it, but the average person on the street would suffer heavily. imagine a more concentrated version of the 1942 division of india into india and pakistan.
anyway... it was an interesting post.. not exactly accurate, but interesting nonetheless
.. the "highspeed fully automatic self inking rubberstamp"
this bad boy will enable any monkey to be a rubber staming machine, stamping at least 900 patents per minute.
for sale to private individuals at US$199 per unit orders over 1000 units at US$99 per unit to US Senate and House of Reps at US$19900 per unit (battle tested and hardened version.) to Tinpot dictators looking for a rbberstamp parliament at the "please take it, don't kill me" rate
actually iirc the shuttle was meant to be a PROTOTYPE run. it was supposed to be a precursors for a whole range of reuseable machines that would be configured to do different tasks. (ie a space bus, a space rv, a space truck for people transport, research/repairs, load transport respectively)
at least the russians made no bones about the duties of the KGB, and the NKVD and the gulags... they basically told the people 'fuck with the Party and the Party will brutally assrape you until your mouth starts bleeding'.. you knew where you stood with people like that (usually up against a wall with a last cigarette, blindfold optional)
unfortunately the USGOV is telling people 'we love you, we want to help and protect you, now will you PLEASE give us your rights because we're going to take them from you anyway', and people are BUYING it. it looks like shit and smells like shit but they're buying it like it was rare perfume.
so yes if i were to return to the US (and believe me until dubya started all this shit i DID have plans) it would be to help in the liberation if the US. until then i am making plans to meet my american friends in canada or mexico
well there goes my name into the no fly list

ps. if you really want to put your choices into the visa form why not just use that line that says "do you support the overthrow of the US Gov by force or subversion".. just write "subversion" (or "force" if that is your choice).. i've always wanted to.. but never had the cojones

last i heard the 'stang was a fast, powerful and only moderately overpriced hunk of detroit iron.
the last 'stang i drove ('97 GT package) was agile and light on its feet. pretty forgiving of a novice, and a DREAM in the hands of a good driver.

you've made an error in your initial assumption, which gives a wrong answer
..
First we state that women require time and money:
Women = Time X Money
error--^
this should be
Women = Time + Money
and from there onwards
And as we all know "time is money"
Time = Money
Therefore by substituting Money for Time we get:
Women = Money + Money
Women = 2(Money)
And because "money is the root of all evil" we therefore can state:
Money = (Evil)^1/2
And Since
2(Money) = Women
and
(Money)^1/2 = Evil
And we are forced to conclude by substituting "women" for "(money)2" from above that:
Women = 2((Evil)^1/2)
or in words
women are double the root of all evil
which means absolutely nothing
but hey when you're a maths nazi..
