    I agreee with you.

    Line play is probably the most important part of a football team's chances for success. Without it, you either can't stop the other team or can't allow your "skill position" players a chance to move the ball.

    Remember that $50K in the midwest goes alot further than it does on the coasts - especially in smaller towns.

    Payroll is tricky enough that if you've got anything more than a simple run, you're probably better off outsourcing it to someone who does that for a living.

    CPA's and tax accountants can do that with QuickBooks - but they need to keep up with the most current version to do that. I don't think that an accountant with QB2003 can read a file from QB2005. Given that, a good opensource and free accounting platform probably wouldn't take too much to get into good distribution.

    Most of the inkjets that I've seen with lines in the print (where it isn't running out of ink) are hp's where the cleaning area is kind of full of "goobers" and must be cleaned. Not too hard to do and it does a good job correcting that.

    Define ancient? Do middle ages cathedrals count?

    Just because something isn't made of stone and doesn't take more than 80 years to complete doesn't mean that some of the things built in the last 500 years aren't spectacular human achievements - things like the moon landing or the internet show that given enough people with enough incentive, people can do just about anything.

    They just haven't found the right outlet for reflecting the glory of God.

    In the middle ages, the Christians built cathedrals that are works of art and Muslims preserved and expanded mathematical knowledge.

    Science and religion are not incompatible - unless one's religion is science.

    Unlike the USSR (and even parlimentary democaracies?), the government of the US is and has been in continuous power for 200 years. The leadership changes, but the government itself is the same.

    There are tricks for appearing older (eg, grow a beard, act more mature, dress better, add a little grey to hair, etc). Ie, act and appear older, and people will treat you that way. These usually solve this sort of problem.

    Or go bald. Balding men usually seem a bit older than they are - which can be an advantage when dealing with others.

    Personally, I think they should require the .xxx domain for any site above basic nudity, just to make things simple, but what do I know, I'm not a senator.

    Well, it's obvious you're not a senator - you just gave a simple, straightforward answer to a problem that won't go out of its way to hassle those who do not serve porn. I think that kind of a response is against a senate rule.

    Peltier coolers use electricity, which is generated by the horribly inefficient internal combustion engine which produces greenhouse gasses and other toxins by the boatload.

    But is the load on the engine when running the AC more than if it was attempting to cool air using the Peltier cooler?

    For example, the opening day of deer hunting season might as well be a holiday. In the North where I am attending college, everyone leaves and hunts with their friends, family, ect. I am from Southern Wisconsin where hunting is not as popular mainly due to the environment. Southern Wisconsin is farmland for the most part. Forests are few and far between.

    Corn fed deer are better than those hippy deer that eat twigs and stuff :)

    Don't make the mistake of thinking that just becuase there are no forests, there are no deer.
