What we need is a giant sheet to cover the Gulf, then we can drag it through the water to capture all the oil.
So easy a caveman could do it. Why didn't anyone think of this before?
If they think it falls into the range of child porn, then by showing the images they themselves become distributors of the pornography.
There was a case a while back where a FBI(?) agent was arrested for child pornography, but it was his job to lure in the real pedophiles and he needed the images to do it.
Then your corporation is an idiot. Nothing on the web is private. At the very least, Google retains the rights to those documents.

Far as I know if you can solder something in, you can re-heat and take it back out again.
I've been doing it for years to replace worn batteries on my RC race cars. Saves space since you don't have to add connectors and increases the electric throughput since there isn't a gap for the electric to have to jump across.

Wind is mostly caused by pressure differentials... air rushing from high pressure to low pressure. While heat is one reason for a pressure differential, its not the only reason.
No, but they have a staff, and they pay impartial experts to explain things to them, where necessary.
Actually, they don't. They give it to staff (the intern who is a friend of a friend) or to experts (which are better known as lobbists). I don't recall any impartiality in the process.
It's a lot more complex than what your grade school teacher taught you.
No doubt, but you can't deny that each branch of the government is supposed to be equal. There is a push/pull as each branch tries to assert its will, but in our current government, there is only push. The Legislative Branch time and time again has rolled over when its powers have been ursurped, as last year when Bush signed a budget bill that had not been passed by the House of Representatives. That is not a law by the definition in the Constitution, however Congress just rolled over and said it doesn't matter.
Investigations? Nope.. don't need to swear anyone in. Nor do they need to provide an answer. What is that about.
The sheer arrogance displayed by the GOP and the spinelessness of the Democrats is just staggering.
What you are missing here is the basic concept of our government. The Executive Branch (President) enforces the laws, the Legistative Branch (Congress) makes the laws and the Judicial Branch (Supreme Court) intreprets the laws.
Equal, but Separate. Checks and Balances. Remember those terms from grade school? What you have here is an Executive Branch that has set itself above all the others. We call that a Dictatorship.
Is it beyond redemption? Absolutely not. All that is needed is for Congress to get a spine and conduct some oversight like they are supposed to. Which, unfortunately, will never happen as long as the Party Line is more important than the Nation. I hate to say "I told you so", but the moment the GOP made public their "Contract For America", I could see that the GOP would no longer be able to vote their conscience, but will be required to vote according to some hidden GOP agenda.
In other words, they would no longer be Our Representatives, as was intended.
This is yet another liberal urban legend people like to spread around that Diebold somehow tampered with the election. Please stop spreading this FUD.
Unfortunately not FUD. There are documented cases where Diebold's machines subtracted one out of every 100 votes for a democratic candidate. Its only been caught on minor elections and other irregularites with Diebold's machines. From California:
"At least one voter was able to vote twice on her "smart card", and 10 votes were inexplicably
lost.
John Pilch, a retired insurance agent who worked as a polling place inspector in San Carlos,
said that when polls closed at 8 p.m. Tuesday, the number of people who signed the voter
log differed from the number of ballots counted by computers.
"We lost 10 votes, and the Diebold technician who was there had no explanation," said Pilch,
who registered complaints with elections officials, his county supervisor and several others.
"She kept looking at the tapes."
At least 250 polls opened late because poll workers were unable to start up the machines, so
hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people were turned away - many of them disenfranchised
because they were unable to return to the polls at a later time that day"
The job of the jury is to ensure that _justice_ is done, not that the law is followed.
Funny. the times I've sat on a jury we were specifically instructed to follow the law, not whatever our concept of 'justice' might be.
The only time a jury gets to question the law is if that's the constitutionality of the law is the case. A juror can't ignore a law they think is injust. That would cause a mistrial.
No, the very real problem is that the solution being proposed does nothing to secure benefits, it actually reduces them. It also adds uncertainty to your retirement since your benefits are now tied to stock market which, as we know from the Dot Bomb/Enron crash, isn't the safest places to put your money.
One of the other little mentioned side effect will be on the federal debt. Right now, the surplus from Social Security is invested in the worlds safest stock.. Treasury Bills which are used to finance the US debt. If Social Security surplus isn't financing the debt, then someone else will, such as China or Japan, if you even can find a buyer these days.
While the neocons are runnning around claiming the sky is falling and SS will be bankrupt, the reality is it CAN'T go broke unless the US Government defaults on its loans.
Uh, the fact that the Bible-believing 50+% of Americans find homosexuality immoral. I disagree with them, completely and utterly and totally, but their moral code says that condoning homosexuality would be immoral, and that sanctioning a marriage between them would be condoning their behavior.

There are winds moving at 1000 mph and it doesn't occur to anyone that there might be some friction generating heat?
Looking at the books again and you are correct. I've been out-geeked.
Actually, it was 7 books, not 6.

That's because its easy to use a Mac.
