Yeah, his email address is from pa.net, he is using links from timesleaser.net, and he says he is "from across the river".
NEPA has large growth potential due to the large number of Interstates that cross there. Due to problems w/local government the towns (Scranton/Wilkes-Barre) are going down the tubes.
My parents came from NYC and Jersey City. I was raised 10 miles from Scranton and lived there for 18 years. NEPA is a fucking hellhole.
if we hadn't begun development and let the Russians develop it w/us in the first place, there is the small possibility that they would not have been able to complete their weapons in the short time-frame that they did. Thus creating a longer time before their development of more advanced thermo-nuclear weapons and thus our heated confrontations in the future.
exactly, they want you to think of it much like a cartoon. That's exactly what the government did for 20 years after the first nuclear weapon was used in WWII. They would give information out to movie makers, authors, etc, but would limit this info to make a push for movies/stories that were centered on horrendous creatures. Attempting to move the public away from the truth that this is a devastating weapon that causes LONG-TERM, horrific damage to REAL fucking people.
Thermonuclear war is NOTHING like the Acme rocket.
First, at the time the testing went on it was a great feat to have accomplished. Now, after the recent graphs showing exactly how much radiation is centered in that area and how much has spread across the rest of the nation I don't see how you could possibly be proud of this.
Second, how can we be proud of creating a weapon that caused such destruction and left our country (and the world) on the edge of destruction for nearly 50 fucking years (and currently, moving closer to the edge than ever before).
Third, shouldn't the license plate feature the rushing fire-storm, both flash and radiation burns, sickness, and cancer?
What do I know though, I have not been infiltrated by as much radiation as those crazy license plate designers in NV.
Commercial hemp is definitly a great idea. I don't know what the US thinks it is proving by banning a non-psychoactive plant that was part of our agricultural history for 200 years.
I don't fucking care if they think that people will grow regular weed and they can't figure out how to distinguish between the two.
It is a healthy, fast growing, economic resource for farmers in all parts of the country.
Sometimes I really wish that the government leaders would read what is posted on the Internet and not what has been posted into their closed minds for years.
I don't like a lot of his policies but at least Ventura attempts to do things that are positive for his state's residents.
will it work well w/someone using a 56k dialup w/AOL (other than the obvious problems w/AOL)?
Anyone have more info? I have checked the SF site but I do not have the device myself. If I am going to save some money (and pay for two) then I need more info.
I have an "A" paper that I wrote displayed on my website for all to see/copy/plagiarise/get sources from as they see fit.
Obviously this comment doesn't apply to me nor does it apply to most others. Who the fuck cares if the paper you wrote got taken by someone else? If they are going to take it and get a good grade on it, there is only one person losing out here, that's the "theif".
Even if the paper I wrote gets published and recieve royalties for it does it bother me that these people used it for themselves?
How can you expect them to be able to support this service when it remains free? Yeah, it's inconsistent, they are morons when it comes to posting duplicate stories, the CowboyNeal option is WAY old, and they are pushing it w/the MacOSX theme on related stories, but for how many times everyday that I click refresh and see something new that pretty much interests me, I don't see it as a problem.
The $10 I contributed wasn't for me to see pages w/o the ads, they weren't that annoying anyway (in fact some of them were entertaining) it was to make sure that at least some money was going to something I use frequently. I don't need to see this page die off in the future or I will end up having to scour countless other sites for shit I can find in one click.
they show it on COPS and the like all the time. They stage a fake fight between a man and a woman and the one that drove the bait car gets into the car w/the other person. They then leave the scene and wait for the little hoodlums to steal the thing.
They drive for about a minute and the engine shuts off, doors, lock and the little bastard sees the lights and hears the police.
I don't care if they get caught, but I still don't think it is right.
did they really look? Did they do this on purpose (someone wanting to make a lot of money)?
Who knows how it happened. Shit like this has been going on in U.S. government for over 150 years. People wanting to make profits elsewhere, buy a shitload of near worthless merchandise that has already been tested and rejected elsewhere but some moron feels the need to do it on the other side of the country.
We are supposed to learn from history, not let it constantly repeat. I thought politicians were smart.
any computer I have ever used (Packard Bell 386SX even) has outlasted anyone else.
I am still using a generic dual 400 celeon from 3 years ago w/o a single major upgrade, I had a 486SX25 that was from NCR (yeah, NCR) and that was running for over 2.5 years straight, only went off when the UPS died)
I have a Dell LM-133 laptop that is still kicking it (ran straight for 3 years on my desk at school).
I think it all depends on the particular computer and the particular user doing the upkeep.
I guess I have been lucky. Anyone w/a Packard Bell that lastest as long as mine did (it was even running when I recv'd the class action suit papers like 5 years after we bought it).
they might have come up w/the cool technology but they were selling it at rates that just could not compete w/the other vendors.
It was like their PC lines. They were always $500 - $1000 more than anyone else. Who the hell would want to pay that?
I have an IBM Microdrive and I love it. But I wouldn't want to pay extra money for a regular HD when I could get something comparable for a shitload less.
Under $1000 maybe. I don't consider this so much of "vaporware" though.
I just can't see why you would try to hop into a market that has already shunned you several times before w/a device that seems so weak.
256 is nice but the 10G is just too small these days. I have a 10G drive in my desktop that I have to keep under control (I have a 20G just for music) I could not imagine having to lug around a laptop that had so little space.
just b/c you encrypt your convo's does NOT mean you will not get in trouble for what you say.
I seriously suggest that anyone who IMs at work should stop. If you know your company monitors email, etc, I could only imagine that you encrypting your sessions would raise their suspicions even higher.
If you are that worried that you feel you should have to encrypt, you probably shouldn't be doing it at all.
I can name 12 people off the top of my head (of the 81 on my list) that use IM everyday while at work. Two of those people are parents that talk to their kids at school (one is my father).
How much time at work do you really spend doing work? Unfortunatly for me I have a job where I am working no less than 95% of the time I am there. For other people I know this percentage is well under 66%
It isn't that they had nothing better to be doing, it is just easy. Why not do it?
I couldn't see using AIM to send "quick messages" in the sense you seem to be trying to convey.
I use a wireless laptop in the living room to play MP3s from the wired computers in the house. I had to delete IM from the computer b/c stupid college students are fucking addicted to it.
The addiction isn't so much the problem. The poor CPU is only a p133. It can't handle MP3s and IMs. Then the bastards complain that it takes too much time to send messages and to top it off they fight over who gets to send an IM next or see which profile has been updated in the last 4 minutes.
The people that left college and are now working in the real world sit on AIM all day and chat. My father, 55, sits on AIM all day and chats. My mother, working at a funeral home and a church, doesn't chat only b/c there is no Internet connection? there.
Jabber (GAIM, Trillian, etc) would complicate this problem furthur by allowing crazy fools who use IRC, MSN, Yahoo, AIM, etc to talk even more and claim it was for good use.

Get over yourself.
any third world/close to third world nation was supposedly good for communism. Capitalism is the only system that seems to work anywhere.

Thus creating a longer time before their development of more advanced thermo-nuclear weapons and thus our heated confrontations in the future.
Very, very, true. Not the point. The other problems associated w/the weapons far outweigh it's positive impact on our domination.
exactly, they want you to think of it much like a cartoon. That's exactly what the government did for 20 years after the first nuclear weapon was used in WWII. They would give information out to movie makers, authors, etc, but would limit this info to make a push for movies/stories that were centered on horrendous creatures.

he's also pro-commercial hemp.

RIAA, do you see this?
I am a taxpayer, I don't want this. Tough.
so, by posting my work on the Internet (much like making any book available or any article on JSTOR) I am giving people A work? Come on.
Basically it is there to give others sources, information, and my argument into the topic.
That's what I have it there for. If they want to steal it, that's up to them.
what bugs, does it affect quality or connection?
will it work well w/someone using a 56k dialup w/AOL (other than the obvious problems w/AOL)?
Anyone have more info? I have checked the SF site but I do not have the device myself. If I am going to save some money (and pay for two) then I need more info.

That's my reason.
If they really want the 1999 Saturn w/55000 miles, go ahead, take it. It's insured.
if they are going to leave a car in the open, fine. That doesn't bother me. It is staging a situation that leads to a theft that I find wrong.

no one doubts the flood. Hell, there have been many theories about how the story originated. It most likely did happen.
I don't see how the finding of this city (or any other city) or that some city was flooded proves there is a god, and He created us.
