Replace the b-ball court with a pool and or hot tub. I would definitely need a full weight room. Higher ceilings would be nice and a full bar somewhere for entertaining. I would also need a place to setup a home brewery and a place to store the boat and motorcycles. The garage is a tad small.
Overall it's a good home. I'd add a windmill for addition power since solar isn't as efficient in Minnesota.
Huh? Legal Smack down? You mean you want the Democrats to win in this case and prevent a free and open election that the Republicans want. Nader has just as much right to be on the ballot as Bush or Kerry.
The Democrats are the ones trying to stop Nader from having a fair chance in the election.
This isn't the first time that the FL Supreme Court has issued a biased ruling in favor of the Democrats. The FL Supreme Court needs yet another legal smack down.

But who fears President Bush? I would suggest that those that have had deals with countries that support terrorists.
It has been proven beyond all doubt that France, Germany Russia and many other members of the U.N. (Including Kofi Annan) were profiting from the 'Oil for Food' program. The two main countries not involved in the 'Oil for Food' scam were the U.S. and the U.K. Also not involved are the 30 some other countries that are supporting the U.S. in it's 'unilateral' action to stop terrorists.
To those that suggest that George W. Bush and his supports hold the minority opinion should remember this quote by Andrew Jackson: "One man with courage makes a majority."
This is the first time I heard about this. I'm thinking it is being promoted in more liberal circles.
Also shows that these web polls are very inaccurate and can be padded just by promoting in certain places.

Great points on all accounts. I do disagree with banning hand guns. The second amedment does not specify the types of guns we are allowed keep and bear becuase the types of guns available have changed of the course of our history.
Let me also point out that while I was in the Navy Reserves, from 1986 to 1994, these fancy typewriters were very rare. The military does not spend tons of money on office equipment for lowly reserve centers/units. They get the hand-me-downs from the various military surplus warehouses. (Trust me, I've been in some and those buildings hold the best in state of the art for 1950.)
In 1994, we still used old electric typewriters with ribbons for most offices. The 5 new computers at my reserve center in 1993 were old 386 cpu's running around 25Mhz. And those were replacing 286's.
The military, especially reserve and national guards just didn't use high-end office equipment in those days.
Also, in the Navy, we had a requirement that all documents use fixed with fonts so they would be OCR compatible. I'm not sure when they started scanning docs for archiving.
Hell, most people treat the database as an afterthought when designing an application, when, in reality, it should almost always be the *first* consideration.

I just installed Slackware 10.0 and it came with the X.org system. I didn't even know about the change. I happily went into the config file and configed my video card, monitors, screen and all just like I used to with XFree86. After saving I started X like normal and all ran just fine.
I wasn't until I was reading later on that I realized there was a different X on my machine. Even then I was getting confused because much of Slackwares online docs have not been updated to refect this change.
The First Beer:
The University Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Pennsylvania, analyzed an organic residue from inside a pottery vessel dated circa 3500-3100 B.C. from the site of Godin Tepe in the Zagros Mountains of western Iran. Their findings provide the earliest known chemical evidence of beer in the world.
The First Wine: source
Combining archaeology with chemical and molecular analysis, McGovern has carved a niche for himself as an expert in ancient organics--particularly wine. He has already pushed our knowledge of vinicultural history back to Neolithic times (the late Stone Age). Now McGovern is searching in eastern Turkey for the origins of grape domestication.
The scientist lacks the physical evidence to prove his hypothesis that hunter-gatherers made what he calls "Stone Age beaujolais nouveau." But he has shown, through a combination of archaeological sleuthing and chemical analysis, that the history of wine extends to the Neolithic period (8,500-4,000 B.C.) and the first glimmerings of civilization.
Yes you did, you suggested that the U.S. should not have protected the Jews.
The end result would have been they would have been killed by the muslims or Hitler. Then you conclude that noone would have been hurt, meaning noone that matters at least to you.
Suddenly invaded ?!? Jews have lived in the Middle East for thousands of years long before Jesus Christ was born. Where else should they live? Besides, it's the Jews that are living a peaceful life. Others are trying to kill them and they wish to protect themselves. Jews live peacefully in the U.S. where they are protected like the rest of our population. If Jews were the agressors they would be attacking us in the U.S. like the Musslim terrorists are doing.

No kidding. I took me about a dozen installs to get the hang of it. I spent a few days (a few years ago) reinstalling FreeBSD and trying different things to see what would happen if I did it this way. Most installs worked. I figured it was the best way to learn how.
SCO nor anyone else can target FreeBSD anymore. Berkeley Software Design Inc.(creators of BSD/386 and BSD/OS) and the creator of FreeBSD (U of C, Berkeley) and were sued by AT&T back in 1992. All was settled out of court and the result was FreeBSD had to be moved to a new code base (4.4BSD-Lite Source Code) free of AT&T licences before FreeBSD could move on in life.
Another note: back in 1992, AT&T sold the portion of the company that made their UNIX (UNIX Systems Laboratories - USL) to Novell, Inc.

1. The thing to remember with Columbine is none of the guns used were legally obtained by the kids using them.
2. None of the guns on the ban are fully automatic guns. Those have been illegal since the 1940's.
3. So what if some one shoots a bunch of people with a gun that looks like a hunting rifle or a military style rifle. The results are still the same.
Kill the criminals and stop attacking the guns.
