I'm also from IL, and I'm glad he has no chance. I will even be doing my part to vote against him. A month ago he talked of corruption in IL. Absolutely nothing backing it up, just more fear mongering. There is a good reason he is down so much. Some other polls suggest that he may be down less than 45 though, so please if you're in IL make sure he has no chance.
The fact that this comment was modded 4 Insightful is very sad to me. What would you do if you had a candidate that wasn't very bright running for office? You would lower everyones expectations about how smart he is, and then when he speaks everyone will be surprised and think he is smarter than they thought. It's also a great marketing ploy. Make fun of your weakness. For example, the Avis slogan is "We're number 2 so we try harder".
Is this what happens to Blair? BTW the current administration is doing everything it can to stop, or at least limit the debates with Kerry. They did the same thing with Gore.
just remember that new tech != more jobs. Many companies would rather patent all the new technology. And keep it stocked away and unused so they can still have a job to do.
Color only matters at the very top level. The current World Champ, Kramnik goes all out with white and just tries to draw with black. Every other level below that doesn't matter. Even Kasparov, the former World Champ didn't care. This is why when it's a match for world championship, they will play an even number of games at a rate of about a game per day. At all other levels, and in tournaments, the directors just alternate. And in tournaments its basicly the people who have the same number of wins play against each other. Personally I don't care which color I am in any version of chess.
A better place is freechess.org. I suggest using the Thief interface, especially for bughouse games. There are about 10 times more people on there playing bug than on ICC. Don't know about normal chess, but I've seen quite a few GM's on there. Played a couple too(it's not fun).
Because anyone unemployed over 6 months is considered not actively looking and is not part of the working force, therefore not part of that 5.6%. The average time to get an Engineering position in IL after unemployment is 8 months. Other states is over a year. So the statistic is slanted since it doesn't account for people who just can't find jobs.
Politicians have a job to do. Their job is to be elected. And if studies show that telling lies and deceptions about your opponent will give you a better chance at winning than if you tell what you want to do, guess what they're gonna do(long sentence over).
Psion 5mx, and it does everything I need it to, other than play Doom(1), and is a hell of a lot cheaper than the JVC micronotebook, and smaller than a budget laptop, with a much longer battery life than both.
And in light of the recent Clerks news, you better not be a Psion Salesman.
I think a credit card is perfectly fine for those who have self control. I know some people who won't get a credit card for that very exact reason. I tell them to get it because it will help them with their credit history in the long run. But in some cases I agree a debit card would be much better.
You can have all the extradition treaties you want, but the local police there are still not going to lift a finger trying to find this guy. I read that even though we have an extradition treaty with Columbia, they still wouldn't send the perp even if they had him sitting in a jail cell. They wouldn't want our cops snooping around their country, and would laugh at us if we told them to find somebody.

People said they should focus on those who "misuse it" thought it would be either impossible or a bad financial idea for the RIAA to go after them.

Just like here, where everyone reads the articles.
The original definition of flip-flop was to say something and do something else at the same time. It sounds worse than what it actually means.
Every poll in Illinois is currently showing that Bush is down over 10 points, some over 20. Bush has no chance in IL, we don't even need corruption.

If all states split the Electoral Vote, Gore would have clearly won.

Auther found.
firesafe weighs too much to steal without special equipment
I first read that as firearm weighs too much to steal without special equipment. In that case I could seriously see why you wouldn't have problems.
Uha right... Hey Bush, I think I saw some oil barrels sitting over there, get the A-Bomb.
That's disgusting, shes like a hundred.

And open source developers don't do it at all.

And if you're caring something expensive down the hall, the first thing you wanna do is wet your pants.

The heading of the article about it will be "Darwin Award Winner..."

And besides till SCO came along all their lawyers were doing was sitting and playing with themselves, now they're playing with SCO.
