However during a federal election we vote for one person.
Doesn't sound like much of an election...;)
In our district the ballot was several pages, we voted on local representitives, and laws, state representitives and laws, judges, plus the federal positions (senator, congressman, President).
When flying, if you veer around by 100 feet or so, you are still OK. An airplane has GPS, which can pinpoint the position to within 10 feet, and there are not obstacles. In short, a GPS and a computer will do you just fine (as long as air traffic control does their job properly).
Modern planes do take-offs and landings, too. I don't think missing the runway by 30m is an acceptable error:)
Do planes capable of automated landings use GPS for it or do they triangulate their position based on sensors at the airport? Same theory but I'd expect that to be a lot more precise than triangulating from a sat in orbit.
Hmmmm, commute for 45 min, have 5 acres with a large house and a $200,000 mtg, or commute for 5 min have a 2 bedroom apartment that I have to pay $1,500+ a month for. You're not going to see many people in the west give that up to save gas money.
You say a murderer should be killed, because they have been found to have killed. So isn't killing committing the act they have been found to have committed and found to be 'wrong'?
Ignore fetuses for now, just concentrate on the 'killing is right/killing is wrong' contradiction.
Killing in and of itself is neither right nor wrong. Murdering someone is wrong. Killing someone in defense of yourself or someone else, or as punishment for a crime is not wrong. There isn't any contradiction at all there for most people.
Do you seriously see no moral or ethical difference between some serial killer murdering people and someone killing that person?
I can't belive people actually want to change the Constitution to allow this fuck to run for President.
Fortunately I don't think it's very many people who want that, just a few with enough money to buy commercials for it. Even Arnold himself isn't pushing for it, at least publicly.
My guess is that this is all covered in the EULA (a contract).
You keep saying this over and over in replies, why don't you go research it and back up your opinion with some fact instead of repeating your empty, worthless "guess"?
You've also got about 3,000,000 people in London vs 590,000 in Boston to spread the cost of upgrading to. How much of the UK's infrastructre was rebuilt after the bombings 1940's?
Modded as funny but technically true. The electoral college doesn't cast the real votes for President until sometime in December. The popular vote in November doesn't really, legally, elect anyone.
Or Windows 2003. Yes, it's a server OS and you shouldn't browse using your server but some companies, like the one I work for, uses Win2003 as the client for everyong in R&D (site license).
The data show a variation in height of only about 150 meters (490 feet) over the 400-kilometer-long (250-mile-long) track, indicating that in this region Titan is remarkably flat.
That sounds like the Red River Valley in MN. 315 miles long, 60 miles wide at its widest and only changes elevation 229 feet over the entire length. The only hills you see there are man made for highway overpasses.
Maybe the rest of Titan is as mountainous as Earth, hopefully more passes of the probe will let us know.
Lies? Every time Kerry opens his mouth it's to spout another lie. Missing explosives in Iraq is just the latest in his series of lies.
A vote for Kerry is a vote for another 9/11. Everyone including the terrorists knows that he will bend over any time pressure is applied. Even the Russian president agrees that the world is safer with GWB as president.
You want to strengthen Al Qaeda vote for Kerry, I'm sure he's already setup a UN trust fund for them to get back on their feet.
IE is still dominating, but what kind of website do you have that still has 99% IE traffic, and how much traffic does it see?
Even my wifes embroidery site is showing a slow but steady decrease in IE traffic this year:
Mar 94.9%
Apr 94.8%
May 94.7%
Jun 94.1%
Jul 94.3%
Aug 93.5%
Sep 93.6%
Oct 92.2%
Netscape/Mozilla has seen an increase of 1.7% over that time.
Frys sells PC's for as little as $179 (no monitor) that is more than enough for word processing and enough for the vast majority of games. From memory, that PC was a 2.x ghz Celeron, 128 meg ram, integrated sound, video, NIC, 40 gig HD, CD-ROM. Not a bad system at all except for some games.
You may not be able to find a decent PC for $100 today but it won't be long until it will go for $100.
What does it matter anyway? The legislature writes the laws and the courts uphold those laws as long as they are constitutional. So why do people care what the president's opinion is on this issue. They should be more worried about what representatives they are sending to the house in this election.
People always forget that the executive branch (aka president) only enforces the laws. You should ask whether the candidates will set up task forces to break down your door and arrest you.
Have you never heard of Executive Orders? The president can do quite a lot that has the same effect as passing laws without going through the House or any representitives.
Maybe I just get more cynical over time, but these two make Al Gore and Walter Mondale look good!
I don't know about Mondale, but I'd agree about Gore and I'm voting Republican. I still wonder why Gore didn't run again, it would seem he would have won easily against Bush in todays political environment.
Kerry is just mouthing what his publicist told him to say. He'll say anything he thinks will get him the most votes. Kerry doesn't give a shit about you or your rights he only cares about getting into the oval office.
The Windows Search is also crap that misses a lot of files, especially on Win2003/WinXP. GDS or even using the find in Ultra Edit is not only faster but far more accurate than Windows search.
I think my next car will run Holly or Edelbrock and not have any computers in it. As overpriced as new cars are today I can build a very nice late 60's muscle car and still get 25-30 mpg and not have a crashing OS or spying black box.
You're dreaming if you think Kerry isn't just as big a friend to the mega corps. In case you've forgotten he, or at least his wife, owns one. His running mate won't want to hurt the mega corps either, who will he sue for mega bucks if the large corps go under?
The current version of Open Office is very competitive with MS Office for the vast majority of people. I'm sure there are some specific features used by a small percentage of people who couldn't switch away from MS Office but for what I use Office for I didn't have a problem switching, in fact being able to export documents to PDF from Open Office was a major plus that MS Office can't currently do.

Thoughts? It sounds like more BS from the ultral liberals who will say or do anything to get Bush out of office.

Quote from the article: "The flaw affects versions of IE up to 6.0.2800.1106 - which includes systems that haven't yet installed Windows XP SP2,"
When will you apologize?

It would be nice if it had the ability for you to specify which drives or directories to search or exclude though.
Not quite in the same location as yours though.

It's still very fast, and has indexed MP3's, at least by name.

With the wind blowing the ash to the W/SW I'm sure you're right. Longview or Portland might get a little dusting though.
