Unfortunately, IE still has a strangle hold on website designers, *especially* when it comes to javascript applications and web based email programs. My university uses a javascript based email program for it's students. The *only* browser (and trust me, i've tried them all) that works with this program is IE. The university is also very reluctant to release the POP and SMTP server addresses so you can use a outside email client (not outlook!!). Somebody stop Gates from changing the industry standard to his own personal preferences!!
Well, in America we've pretty much taken over all of the land suitable for settlement. In fact, way back when, oil companies would follow around behind tribes and wherever they would settle, the oil companies would immediately displace them again and start drilling for oil. The oil companies believed that Indians had a supernatural sense. And they tried to harness it.
i feel terrible about what their culture has become, and I applaud those who try and uphold and continue the tradition. However, their culture antiquated and they are surrounded by one of the most technological advanced nations in the world.
I still find it funny that the US government pays current American Indians for it's actions in the past. Not that I'm saying this is bad. But do you really think that monetarily reimbursing Indians is a proper justification for practically annahilating their race, pushing them further and further into the "frontier", until at last we decided to give them Ohkalhoma....and promptly took that too.
On another note, you could say that technology enhancements in farming (the plow, mechanized machinery, cotton gin) were one of the major reasons for pushing the Indians out of their land. American farmers needed more land, so push away those Indians. Does anyone else think it's funny that technology is once again screwing them by not paying them???
Interesting that this asphalt is much more expensive, which you would think would lead to a bigger budget for state DoTs at first and as the new rubber asphalt roads become more prevalent, their budgets would slowly diminish. Bureaucracy at its best right? Bureaucrats only looking out for themselves at the cost of billions to the average Joe.
What ever happened to the great nation that I read about in my history books?
Most car noise these days is not from the engine running. Technology these days allows new cars to run incredibly quiet. Probably 99% of the noise you hear while traveling down the highway is road noise. Noise produced from your rubber tires against pavement. I saw a news flash a couple years ago about a new type of pavement that dramatically reduces that noise, but it's too expensive to be widely used.
