1) You don't need a Security Clearance to go to the White House and meet the President.
if you want a permanent pass to the whitehouse press pool, you do. that's why Guckert/Gannon was getting daily passes pretty much EVERY DAY for almost 2 years.
3) Get off the Halliburton case. It's over
Yea, right, no biggy. No corruption with Halliburton going on now, no questions as to why Halliburton was selling stuff to Iraq/Iran.. Big f'ing deal.
Just like the judge smacked down the suit against Oreo cookies making people fat?
The lawsuit was about how Oreo cookies did not disclose that they contain trans fatty acids (for which the safe level of consumption is 0 grams per day. Each Oreo cookie used to contain 1 gram of trans fat).
This is like suing a company that fails to disclose that they are using a poison to hold the cookie together (which what hydrogenated fats should be, and practically have been, classified as).
(disclaimer: you should read up on trans fats. not all trans fats are man made, artificial, or necessarily unhealthy.)
Moore doesn't hate the system. He hates the corruptness that has pervaded it. By bypassing the system he would be indicating that he's given up on it (which critics would be quick to point out, and call him names like they do now - communist and the like). No, because he does believe in the system, he's going to stay in it and fight to make it work. Don't expect Moore to give up any time soon.
except you drink about one or two or three ounces of espresso in a drink. A tall latte from starbucks, for instance, has one shot of espresso, so that's about 14 mg of caffeine.
no such thing. HTML isn't CODE, it's not a programming language. It's a mark-up language. Say it with me - Hyper Text Markup Language. Fancy way to present text. wooo. Don't delude yourself into thinking yer a "coder" if you know HTML. As such, trying to make yourself feel better by saying "I code pure html in vi!" is ridiculous - face it, yer not a coder, you might as well use wizziwig tools that make it easier.
Intelligent people know when they should feel dumb - they are smart enough to realize that they don't (Can't) know everything, so just as often as they know the answer, they don't.
Dumb people, on the other hand, don't have the intelligence to realize that they don't know everything. They are then thus happy to espouse their views as fact when in reality they haven't got a clue.
It takes a very smart person indeed to know when they don't know something.
riight. would you let just anyone call themselves a doctor and operate on you? Wouldn't you prefer knowing that in order for them to call themselves Doctor they have met certain requirements? Or what about if you went to court, and your "lawyer" turned out to be a guy who watched Law and Order and thought he could do it?
Engineering is a PROFESSION. A profession is an industry that is licensed and regulated. A secretary can't call himself a Professional because you don't need to be licensed and regulated to be a secretary, regardless of how "professional" he or she appears to be in his or her job as a secretary. Likewise, a computer programmer isn't licensed or regulated. An engineer, however, IS.
In Canada it's much simpler. You are NOT an Engineer unless the CCPE (Canadian Council of Professional Engineers) says you are. To be an Engineer, you must have an Engineering Degree from an accredited university. You must have work experience in the relative engineering field (2-3 years), and you must pass a written exam on professional practice (ethics, laws, regulations, etc.) Also, you're obligated upon graduation by taking the Oath of the Iron Ring, which just like the Hippocratic Oath, swears you to uphold the standards of Engineering for the public good and safety.
the movie is glamorized hollywood trash. nash in his earlier days was (and he'll deny this but..) gay. he wasn't at all interested in women. later he had to, cuz that's what guys did. the guy was a big closet case, imo still is, and that didn't help his psychophrenia (sp). read the book, come to your own conclusions.
That's exactly my point. They make these recommendations based on logical leaps. There is not a single clinical study that demonstrates a link between increased red meat consumption and increased heart disease. In fact, the common risk factors such as high LDL and triglycerides, don't appear to be increased by red meat consumption where the HDL or so-called "good cholesterol" is increased when eating red meat. In a cruel twist of fate, a low fat diet often substitutes carbohydrates for the fat to replace the lost flavor. These excess carbohydrates increase triglyceride levels, thus increasing heart disease risk.
couldn't have said it better myself. any moderators reading the above post should mod it up, if you google for the appropriate info you'll see he's not talkin outa his ass on that stuff.
the back of the eye has no pain receptors, unfortunately. that's why you "can" stare at the sun for a while, and only a few hours later will you realize you're an idiot and are now blind.
Come on people, people whining about tools not being used when they should be, and they could be because their GPL'd.
If there isn't a distro out there that takes all these great tools and puts them together, then shouldn't there be? It is afterall open source, and that's exactly the kind of thing you'd expect.... so why is no one doing it? Why aren't YOU doing it?
I'd call it The Best Linux Distro In The World, Ever (TBLDITWE for short).
good grief if you lump that in to illegal copying files, yer an idiot. i'd like to see what your significant other thinks of what you think about oral sex, cuz it'd be funny if u never got any for the rest of your life.
dietary intake of cholesterol has absolutely no effect on blood cholesterol levels. It's got more to do with transfatty acids and the like. Lower fat in and of itself is silly - take look at all the low-fat foods out there, and how many fat people there are. Now take a look at the ingredients of those low fat foods - fat tastes good, without it, you need something else so that the "food" is palpatable. And what's in the top 3 ingredients for all these low fat foods? Sugar. Empty calories that merely rape the pancreas, skyrocket blood sugar levels, and cause diabetes (is it any wonder in the early 1900s the average person ate less than 2 lbs of sugar per year, and now it is typically over 150 lbs! Any wonder diabetes has skyrocketed?)
Read Alton's book, he talks about different fats and cholesterol, and notes just how silly and misguided current low-fat trends are.
Way more expensive, and there are no production models as of yet...I.E.: No pudding to find the proof in.
erm, both cars are in production. in fact i could have bought a '99.5 Jetta TDI a while back but it just didn't have enough balls.. but it's still a sweet car.
and I read a review in the local paper that compared the two cars, and they found that they got better mileage in the Jetta.. so anypoop.
The Jetta TDI has better mileage than the Civic hybrid.. in fact i believe it has the best mileage for any vehicle that still uses a fossil fuel of any sort.
i'm glad someone points this out everytime there is a story about these jokers releasing some whiz bang hardware that probably wont work cuz their drivers are poop!
a monkey? A chicken? hold on... wait a second, a.. an article! Yes!! Yes an article! CNN has an article! Written by a monkey. As such, it's completely classified and we cannot give a link.
In other news, CNN reports that, and so you really should wear lead underwear during the next few days.

Drudge is NOT a reliable source of news, information, links, ANYTHING.
He's very much right wing. That and he's a closet case (read Blinded by the Right by David Brock).
If you think you are informed when you read Drudge, you are dead wrong.
