It's Launchcast radio. I just started listening to it at work. It makes you your own station based on your ratings of songs, albums, genres, and artists (which can be done during playtime). They have a 20 second ad every few songs, normally promoting their pay for radio service. The quality is also typical for steamed music.
Correct document, wrong place, check the amended portion. Lincoln first imposed an income tax but it was declaired unconstitutional by the Supream Court. In 1911 or thereabouts an Constitutional Amendment provided for the income tax.
Both are true. The Chechnyan Separatist movement was orginaly a secular movement but now is heavily fused with militant Islam, drawing some of its membership (and tactics) from international terrorist groups. As mentioned, a portion of the hostage takers were not even from Chechnya but from the Middle East. Chechnya once had a legitimate case against Russia, but they've lost all sympathy from me now. These acts are the lowest posible things they could do. I don't care is Russia is there for 1000 more years.
The electoral college elected him President in 2000, and the electoral college will elect someone president this year. Whether you agree with it or not, or whether Florida voted for Gore or not, it all comes down to who they elect.
Just would like to point out that Bush is the least rich of the 4 presidential and VP canidates. Of course he has rich and super rich friends that have benfited from his policies, but so would Kerry.
The Republicans are the party of small government and responsible fiscal policy. Really? The current Republican president has grown the government by 7.5% and created the largest budget deficit in history. That's just Bush? Interestingly it was the last Republican presidencies, under Bush Snr. and Reagan that were responsible for the previous record for a budget deficit. Don't tell me the federal government didn't balloon overr that era too (I unfortnately do not have figures for that).
That's why we need Calvin Coolidge back in office! Seriously, most he is underated president.
Although people have responded to this comment with some good examples, you might be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't pay a sales tax, who doesn't buy milk at its inflated subsidized price, or who doesn't buy gasoline (which is up to 50% taxs in some places in the US, in many other countries it's many folds higher).
Hold a press conference? That would have reasonable? While I might not have finished the children's book I think that holding a press conference would have been absurd. Conspiricies aside, all he probably herd at the time was "Mr. President, an airplane hit the twin towers and the pentigon" and later, "Mr. President, a second airplane hit the other tower". Finishing a book and calmly leaving an elemetary school is not unreasonable. Leaders have a repsonsibilty of holding an air of calmness even when all hell breaks loose. Anyway the president had Ari Fleicher to have press conferences, and I don't imagine he knew much less about the attacks at that hour than the president.
we don't have colonies like europe you know.. Guam Saipan The US Virgin Islands Peurto Rico American Samoa Nah, the USA dosen't have any colonies...
Yes and no. They are territories, and Puerto Rico is a Commonwealth. You may say there is no difference between a colony and a territory but most of the USA's states were former territories. All but maybe 20 (the 13 former british colonies, Texas, California, Maine (formerly part of Massachusets), West Virginia, et cetera).
I have been there. An interesting place. The Rance river is dammed in two places (with the turbines and generators downstream). The basin created by the two dams fills with water during high tide and the water goes through the turbines, generating electricity. When the basin is full and the tide is going out into the bay gravity pulls the water through the turbines again (which have in the mean time reversed their blades).
One might also find information if "la barage de la Rance" is used as well as "L'Usine de la Rance". The french family that I was with always refered to it as the former.
My high school is in West Allentown (pop. 105,000) and our robot the only thing that wasn't done by students was we had someone else sandblast the frame. Everything else was all designed by students and teachers. We actually did very successfuly, 1st place in Virginia, 2nd in Philly, and made it to the playoffs at the championships. We did get a NASA sponsership (along mostly local small businesses) but I don't think we once talked with someone from NASA, they just give out money to teams that apply for it.
I do agree with you that many teams rely entirely too much on outside resources and that the robots are built completely offside but I don't think that even then it deviods the educational experiance altogether.
Definately a cool program. I was involved in it 2 years ago, my team (643) won the Virginia regional and got 2nd in the Philadelphia regional. We also were in the championship tournament at Disney. For about all of January and Feburary (each year's challange is released near the turn of the year) the team worked on designing and building the robot and soliciting funds for hours each day. The championship was great, the school even gave us spending money and FIRST gave us vouchers for meals and tickets to the park. They even rented out Epcot for one night (and they took up half the parking lot for the whole week). Of course Dean Kamen was their with his Segway. It was certainly a great experiance and well worth it. Despite pressure from the school Administration and students, the tech. teachers didn't do it this year or last year, it was too much of a time commitment and they have families (I doubt their wives would have let them).
I think it's unfair to pigeon-hole him like that. He certainly had a large staff, he was a fairly shrewed businessman, and didn't always use the scientific method. It seems to me anytime Edison is brought up at./ he is instatly derided for his accomplishments and how he achieved them. To say he simply managed engineers or that he was a simpleton for not always approaching things scientifically just isn't true. I agree that Edison is too often deified by some but he certainly greatly affected the entire world with all he did in a positive way, if that is not admerable I don't know what is.
While American English is spoken slightly closer to older British English, Modern Commonwealth English is closer in writing to older British English. This is of course primarily because of Noah Webster and other dictionary and textbook makers who supported the deanglification of spelling. (plow, draft, color, learnt, center, meter, program, et cetera...). After the War for Independance, many Americans also deanglified their names (Browne -> Brown). All in all, the English are closest to pre-1776 English in terms of spelling and grammar, but do not speak it as closely as the Americans do.
While Klemens von Metternich was my favorite Congress of Vienna delegate, I do not think Lord Castlereagh is at all deserving of being urinated on in his final resting place. Byron's hatred probably has to do with the 'Peterloo Massacre'.

Hopefully. At my work we all use MSN.
Picture a time when employees didn't spend all day checking their email, surfing the web, and posting comments on /.
Sounds like something Wagner would do.

Don't you think that's kind of long for a title?

This was also a story in SEPTA's(Philadelphia area's mass transit) daily newspaper!

Well I admire him for being a modest, humble, truthful, and forgiving person with a strong and stoic charecter.

Don't worry, Penn State dorms come with Mircofridges.

Is a pre-used computer different than a used computer?
I have a basement full of old computers dating back to 1990 or so that Goodwill won't touch...
I smell BEOWULF!
