Didn't they try to recount the republican counties 3 times but not the democratic counties
Look here for a complete recap of the recount. It was Gore requesting recounts in democratic counties, not vice-versa.
From the site:
Thursday, Nov. 9--Gore's camp requests a hand recount of the approximately 1.8 million ballots cast in Palm Beach, Miami-Dade, Broward, and Volusia counties, Democratic strongholds
am happy that the Chinese will now not be able to procede with their plans to build a self-sustaining lunar base from which they planned to dominate the earth.
i see a robot moving around cubicles or something to deliver a memo at the speed of a person running.
I can deliver a memo to everyone in the office on multiple floors and even in offices around the world in seconds (or minutes at worst).
I don't need a friggin robot zooming around the office delivering 'memos' and waiting to run me down as I pop-out of my cubicle to replenish my caffeine supply.
Now give me one that can fetch my coffee and then we're talking.
A $4.99 monthly charge on your phone service with a line item description of "Number Portability Fee". After all, the telcos will certainly claim that they will need to spend billion$ to implement number portability. They will certainly be entitled to recoup their costs.
Nope. International treaties entered by the United States are given equal weight as the US Constitution
So by your logic, all the US needs is one other country (it can easily buy one's cooperation), 2/3 of the Senate, and the US can re-instate slavery with a treaty
Taken to the extreme, the same scenario could establish the President as "Dictator for Life" with the complicit Senators retaining supreme legislative authority and disolving the House and Supreme Court.
Substitute the USA for UN in your post and your statements remain true (except for the WHO part).
No world wars? Check! M.A.D.
Negotiated and enforced peac treaties? Check!
Economic Sanctions? Check!
Has had its power seriously challenged only a few times? Check!
Has, respectively, saved the countries of Korea, Kuwait,and many others i'm forgetting by leading multinational forces to defeat a common agressor enemy? Check!
I liked Arthur C Clarke's idea better (Song's of Distant Earth (I think))
Let anyone vote, but the representatives/candidates are chosen at random from the population at large.
The kicker? Anyone who actually wants to hold an office is automatically deisqualified from running.
Imagine phoning in your vote in the recent CA recall election....
To vote for Andrews, George press '1#'
To vote for Brown, Jane press '2#'...
To vote for Zorowski, Ronald press '134#'
To repeat the list of candidates again press '*'
6. The machines could put the food they are feeding the humans to more efficient use by using it to generate power directly. It is a tremendous waste of energy to use humans as AA Energizers. This is Thermodynamics 101. Why are the machines so damned stupid?
A major cog in the Star Wars revenue generation machine over the years, but Boba has the lowest screen time to action figure sales ratio in the history of merchandising.
Boba could be editted out of the original trilogy w/o imacting the story line any more than the Solo/Greedo cantina shootout re-write.
Funny, in Ohio (which purchased many of the infamous hanging chad prone punch card machines from FL at a discount), we've had no reports of voting irregularities.
Unfortunately, when price wars erupt the best technology and service rarely wins out. Case in point, the explosion of dial-up Internet access in the 90s. The big winner here certainly not the best provider (anyone who thinks AOL was the 'best' step closer so I can smack some sense into you).
Same with airfares, poeple whine and moan that service sucks, but then they go ahead an shop for the lowest fare regardless of service.

Don't say it can't happen. 6 months ago you would've laughed at me if I said Arnie would be CA governor now.
That leaves us with a mere 25% who do have a problem with Bush.

The guidance software was Linux based so SCO likely siezed the prototype since the Israelis did not pay the Linux license fee.
If not initializing was the problem, then their test plan was:
vote for one office
if total votes cast is 1
whoo hoo! It works.
else
Doh!

- game playing
- playing annoying ring tones

Anything marketed as a "collector edition", by definition, isn't collectable.

Good point, and that got me thinking. What is the most important event in the last 1000 years that did not involve bloodshed? I can't think of one.
