But since when does any kind of logic work on the screwed up protectionist ways of the US?
Look at all the trade practices the US does that are so unfair towards other countries, whining all the time that its really them who are getting hurt somehow.
Why should I believe that on this particular topic, the US is actually in the right when in 100 other examples its just US protectionism that in the end hurts both the US and the world?
It's called Marked Gas, if you need enough of it, you can have it delivered by the fuel companies into tanks on your property... your typical 400 or so gallon tank up on a stand, with a lined berm around it.
At one time, they would give you the packet of red dye to add to the fuel yourself, but I think there must have actually been one canadian somewhere that couldnt be trusted, and some law got changed over it so that the delivery guy must ensure that it has been marked.
The gold exploration company for whom i worked for several years fueled all their work vehicles with it on the understanding that the vehicles were to remain on the mine property.
And I swear they never eeeevvvver left the property. reallllllly.
So what are those damn US politicians going to do when one of them bothers to figure out that AMD's main CPU making plants... FAB30 and FAB36 are in Dresden Germany?... and that many people consider AMD processors to be as good or better than Pentium 4s?
I'm guessing the almighty demi-god Dubya will be forced to launch a pre-emptive first strike against Germany to destroy the AMD factories, and prevent the chance for the Germans to take a third stab at world domination in less than 100 years.
AMD! choice of der next Furher! zig hail!
Personally I think Dubya just wants to make some money exporting those crappy 1st generation P4's that totally sucked. By making them appear fobidden, they will be more desirable.
For those of you who decided to speak before becoming informed...
the music industry wanted to impose a fee on ISP's because they felt the ISP's were a part of the pirating problem. The music industry would have received money from every single internet subscriber whether or not the user was pirating music.
The ISP's argued that they are the conduit for internet traffic, and do not / can not / should not control what their customers are doing with their bandwidth.... They do not support pirating, it just happens that the files get transferred through their pipes.
The case was a blatant money grab scam by the music industry.
For them to be in the right, you would also have to argue that:
-- the phone company controls what people say to each other on phone lines. -- The post office controls what people write in letters to each other. -- the paper boy controls what stories are in the newspaper you read. -- and on and on and on.
It was such a scam! The music industry deserves to be punished for such a blatant mis-interpretation of reality.
It was nothing less than the music industry trying to create a stream of income from something that has absolutely nothing to do with how they make and sell music, and it would have had people paying them even if they never downloaded a song.... and even if you want to side with the music industry just a little bit, the government already decided that sharing mp3's is not copyright infringement in Canada.
Thanks to scummy actions like this, I vow to never spend a dime ever again on music where that dime would go to the record companies. I may by used CD's, I may pursue the legal downloads, but I won't buy a new CD again.
You have the PRIVILEDGE of calling other countries through the private company Telus (non-government)
You dont have the RIGHT to call anywhere.
The government isn't restricting anything.
And this action was the result of a dumbass fool surfing porn sites who let a dialer get installed on his computer, then would'nt take responsibility for the results.
He kept paying his regular phone bill, but not the $3000 the dialer wracked up.
Sure he was attacked (through his own stupidity), but he is responsibile for how his phone is used. I think Telus should deny him any phone service in the future.
You talk about running around destroying any threat to the US as if you somehow have the right to destabilize the world for everyone, ignorant that you've created the enemies you are presently fighting... and think that I am out of touch.
DAMN no wonder you're stuck with such a dumbass president, there wasn't anyone with a 3rd braincell down there that could out do him.
What gives you Dubya lovers the right to lie to your countrymen and the world (where are the WMD's?) yet opposing views should be held back?
All documentaries are biased.
The Victor always rights the history.
Moore has simply shown the point of view opposite to that being shoved down your throat by Dubya.
In fact, if you would listen more to the opposing side, perhaps you yourself would be less biased, and accept that Bush has been manipulating you just as much as you think Moore is trying to do.
Have a closet full of Duct Tape?... there are a lot of ignorant americans that do because they listened to Bush's terror scare: buy duct tape speech!
I can't wait to see the movie, went to see it Friday night but it was sold out!
It would appear that the great strength of this movie is how Moore let's Bush and his cronies sink their own ship... with the words they thought they could say, as if the typical american is a total fool.
The crowd here had similar responses to Bowling for Columbine.
Hey buddy, you're own government gave Hussein the chemical weapon's technology back in the 80's to us against Iran.
Your own government trained, supported, and armed Osama Bin Laden to fight against the Soviets when they were occupying Afghanistan.
You stomp around the world like a bull in a chinashop, breaking everything you touch and then are somehow surprised when the enemies you have created come back and bite you?
Treat the world with some respect! Accept that other peoples, other countries have just as much right to be on this planet as you do... and just maybe you will find that you've created less threats to your country!
Oh, and by posting your political statement, then complaining how such statements shouldnt be on slashdot, you've made yourself a typical american hypocrite. you can't have it both ways!
you are the perfect example of what is so damn wrong with your people!
You don't like someone's opinion, so you make fun of his appearance!
I love it when you Dubya lovers make yourselves look so stupid!... by the way, BUSH IS A MILLIONAIRE why do you trust him?
You must have at least seen the commercials for the movie, where bush himself jokes about being with his own kind of people.. THE HAVE's and THE HAVE MORE's
Ya it was a joke he was making, but his choice of humour so blatantly tells us how he really feels about things.
Funny how it is the people in power, and the supporters of the people in power that so desparately want you to not watch the movie... the same group that is taking away your rights with the patriot act.
If they truly respected YOU, they would encourage you to go see the movie and let draw your own conclusions instead of treating you like a dumbass and hiding you from it.
America! where you're encouraged to not watch the evidence for yourself, where you're encouraged to keep your head in the sand and just tow the party line! baaaaa baaa baaaa!
Since when is posting that the respondant missed the damn obvious example of poisoning by Heavy Metals to be called 'flamebait'.... when he claimed that radioactive waste isn't poisonous?
Damn someone around here had his slurpee straw in the mercury jar too long!
How exactly is it Trolling, when I pointed out that there has been a huge amount of ecological destruction due to the bastards that ran the nuclear energy program of the former soviet union?
I'm not trying to say you are wrong, i would just like you to try heavy metal poisoning. It would suit you. Symptoms of heavy metal poisoning would definately explain how you could make such a dumbass response to my post.
They won't find great new ecologies full of living fossils.
They will find the remains of those ecologies, that have died in only the last 50 -60 years... poisoned from the massive dumping of radioactive waste into the Arctic Ocean basin by the former Soviet Union.
There is no tower, and exactly how do you think a tower 62,000 km high could be built?
at the ground, the cable is attached to a platform that can be moved. It must be at or near the equator.
at the top, there is a large counter weight in geosynchronous orbit around the earth so that it stays above the same point over the earth's surface. The counterweight want's to fly off into space, the weight of the cable keep's it there (not the connection with the ground)
effectively the entire system, cable and all is in orbit around the earth. It's a satellite with a cable that hits the ground.
You can climb up the cable. This is much more cheap and efficient that launching a rocket.
The cable material is so strong that it will only weigh about 26pounds per MILE of cable.
The base of the cable can be moved to protect it from storms. other sections can be moved to protect it from space junk.
Slashdot Mirror
I had my body cavities banned once.
let me tell you.
OUCH.
And you would believe Dubya when he says otherwise?
History is written by the winner, from the winner's point of view.
All documentaries are biased because it is impossible to truly know and document all details, and generally its the winner that survives to write it.
While 9/11 may not be anywhere near 'unbiased', it is still a valid, and important point of view.
Open your eyes! The emperor has no clothes!
I really don't understand why only everyone outside your borders can see this.
I do understand the point.
But since when does any kind of logic work on the screwed up protectionist ways of the US?
Look at all the trade practices the US does that are so unfair towards other countries, whining all the time that its really them who are getting hurt somehow.

Block the US from the rest of the world!
You need to show them that most fraud actually comes from the US, even much of the 'Nigerian' stuff.
Then perhaps they will block themselves from us instead.

hehe
I think my typo actually gave that line much more meaning if you think about it.
And the same must be said to all of you who would base your opinions just on the BS scare tactics that the Dubya lovers spout off every day.
take away freedoms? what? not guaranteed freedoms that thousands have died to ensure and protect?
oh wait, now where did i put my copy of THE PATRIOT ACT.
I bet you think that Rush Limbaugh is a god.
... there are a lot of ignorant americans that do because they listened to Bush's terror scare: buy duct tape speech!

huh? huh? how is that trolling!
dumbasses!
Try heavy metal poisoning.

So, you aren't really dumb enough to listen to the job postings that say they equire 3+ years experience are you?
.. that will give up at the first sign of an obstable.
Apply to them anyways! If you can pull the load, then you'll get the job.
What they are really doing is weeding out the passive wimps that won't work hard enough
Are you that person?
