Dunno how accurate rotten.com library is...tho i take it as having some interesting reads. There's no constitutional law against foreign-born nationals becoming Governor of California, of course, but there is certainly one against them becoming President of the United States. Article II, Section 1: "No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States." This presents a problem for any presidential aspirations for Arnold.
But don't worry! Our fine lawmakers have made the occasional stab to remove this limitation out from under us.
In July of 2003, Senator Orrin Hatch introduced a proposed amendment to the constitution to allow anyone foreign born and a resident for twenty years to be eligible for the office of President. Hatch and Schwarzenegger are old friends, and it is widely held that this amendment was a favor, should the governorship turn out to be a potential stepping stone as it was for the previous actor.
Interestingly enough, Congressman Barney Frank introduced similar legislation in 2000 to remove the natural-born requirement from the presidental rules as well, citing the lack of opportunity given to people who have joined the country and shown throughout their lives to be fine citizens. And even more interesting are the following words between Representative Frank and one of the witnesses during the Judiciary Committee meeting in which the bill was killed, which we'll leave you thinking about:

with a form factor like what theyre using, i have my doubts if its possible to easily upgrade that video...or anything else (except hdd and add ram). basically this is a laptop with a wireless keyboard/mouse.
Honestly speaking, for 1700, I'd rather spend that on a laptop that comes with a battery and true portability.
Ok, and to prove i'm not talking out of my ass that "a laptop is cheaper" Dell Inspiron 8600 Notebook: Mobile Pentium® M Processor, 715 (1.5GHz),15.4in WXGA Display, Internal NIC/Modem/Sound Microsoft Windows XP Home @ delloutlet.com for 1352. service tag EP0M0TWV. pay for tax and shpping to calif, you still have 300 bucks in your pocket.
Oh, and the display card is upgradeable...i think. Know it is upgaradeable on my 8100, but then I don't play games and i'm happy with the radeon 7500. Grump.
Only problem with the fireworks/anthrax spore idea is that: 1. when the firework is launched...how are you going to package it so the sports don't "burn up" 2. when the firework explodes, how do you protect the spores?
Well, (In America, dunno Canada), most people are more than happy to give out their social security number- for stuff like cell phones, credit card, etc.
There are people who refuse to give out their SSN, and so they are on a prepaid plan, cash basis. Hey, its a personal choice. Personal liberity/freedom or a phone plan that doesn't have night/weekend. personal choice.
The RCC says that it has the support of 90% of game retailers in the voluntary program
Does this mean 10% WILL NOT ID? Well, if this is on a voluntary basis, then you (hopefullY) have those 10%. And those that won't ID will be rewarded by your business. That simple.
I had a Pilot 1000 years ago...7 or 8 years even. I had to change batteries in that thing maybe once every month, and I used it quite extensively for games.
Now, I have an Axim X5, with the extended capacity battery. I went on vacation for about 5 days, played jawbreaker for about 2-3 hours per day and some light mp3 playage. LCD was set to lowest. In the end it was about 50%. Meaning it could last about a week and a half- a far cry from the pilot, but then it has color and can play mp3s.
its asking me for a subscription! i'm a college student here! My rent/utilities/gas/food/imaginary girlfriend (after all, on/. it is illegal to possess a real girlfriend) comes out of my paycheck!
Dunno, I got some color hp laser at work and it seems to disappoint me.
1. After sending a print job to it, it takes about 2-3 minutes (maybe more) for it to "warm up" and do its "calibration.
2. even after a calibration, its still off! print a straight line of color and the 2 colors don't blend perfectly, leaving a thin border of slightly off.
What am I to do? Will a small company (Radio shack down the street) lose my personal info? They must have asked me like 20 times...is that because they lose my info each time and have to get it again?
As a former driver or a 01 insight (got totaled at 25k mi when rear ended by a ford exploder)
Toyota and Honda took very different paths to engineer their hybrid vehicles.
the way I see it, Honda chose "lets make it as simple as possible, manual transmissions are the most effective (lowest loss) at driving power from the engine (gas and electric) to the wheel. Hence, this would allow us to put smaller (and lighter) gas and electric engines. Hence, a 1 liter 3 cyl engine making 73 hp and 70 ft-lb of torque mated to a 5 speed manual tranny. To further add efficiency, the engine is capable of "leaning out" and burning at 21:1. Couple all this with an aluminum body construction and hand assembly, and it is possible to achieve up to 100 mpg at 50 mph.
Toyota on the other hand chose to utilize CVT transmissions (nothing wrong, except I much prefer driving manual trannies). The transmission is like a T shape, with the gas and electric engines on opposite sides, and the drive shaft coming out. To mate the two motors together, they use some god awful configuration that the service manager at my local toyota dealer has no idea how it works. (great huh?)
In order to maximize city mileage, the vehicle is able to run without the gas engine being powered (but it is still sparkng away...just no gas). Highway mileage is improved by using an atkinson cycle engine- where the engine expands more than it compresses (more efficiency). Lastly, to save weight, steel construction using their smallest platform (echo) is utilized.
probably thermal paper, because its much easier to deal with than other means.
dot matrix (as another poster mentioned) is not pleasent sounding
laser- well its just too expensive to have one laser printer per booth, yes it is possible to have one printer per precient, but that presents other problems too (like getting in line, getting them mixed up, etc)
ink- well ink goes dry, and cartridges need to be replaced (kinda difficult)
thermal- thermal does fade, but they aren't that bad, unless you keep the recipets in your wallet.
