My understanding is that NASA designed the rovers to last as long as possible, but only committed to 90 days. Saying its good for a year and getting 6 months would be bad, saying its good for 90 days and making it 6 months is great:)
My family does not, and has never received any sort of farm subsidy. My dad is an agriculture teacher, and all of our livestock and land is used as a teaching aid, without charge to the school.
But thanks for your (worthless, misguided, and uninformed) opinion.
The bailouts were the consequence of government sticking its nose where it didn't belong. Now you want to justify your attempt to control private property by citing a past screwup?
There's a '98 Ford 1-ton four-door duallie, for pulling trailers and family trips. '02 Jeep Wrangler for winter that my dad drives, and a '97 Ranger for daily use going back and forth to work. There's my mom's daily driver, an '06 Acura TL. She also have a 'fun' car, a '02 Mercedes SLK 320. My grandfather has a 4-door Dakota that he drives every day. My sister who still lives at home has a '04 Silverado, and finally, we have a beat-up '88 Chevy truck with a steel flatbed, for hauling wood and such.
Tractors? Why, there's a New Holland that we use for bushhogging and farming - a big garden, really - a John Deere we use for earthmoving, moving hay around, that kind of thing, and an old restored FarmAll we keep around because its cool.
As for this "subsidy" - bullshit. I didn't ask you to pay for roads, or to bail out car companies, or to supposedly pay for disposal (you don't). I'd much rather the car companies go Chapter 13, and would love to see the transportation infrastructure of this country go private. The only exception to that might be the interstate system, because it has a valid use in national defense.
Don't forget about those of us in rural areas. I carpool with a friend as often as I can, but I live 30 miles from my workplace. No one is going to be running a train from a city of 250 to a city of 10,000, so personal transportation is the only option.
My parents currently have 5 people in their household, and own 8 vehicles. That's not so bad, considering they also run a small farm.
I don't understand why people make poor financial choices though, by owning more than they can afford. I also don't understand how people think they have the right to enforce their own judgement over people's finances.
I don't understand why people had such a hissy fit over this. That *is* the correct pronunciation in half the country.

Make it a video camera, and it would be an excellent teaching aid for long-range shooting or competitive events like IPSC or IDPA.
Put one in a casing for a laser, or better yet, in the guide rod on a 1911, and you might have a valuable tool to be used in your defense in the case of a self-defense shooting....
First, you're absolutely wrong. If the US government took a heavy-handed approach dealing with an insurrection, they would only compound the problem.
Second, you have no idea what "assault rifles" are if you think that's what US civilians own right now. Don't try to argue your viewpoint if you don't even know what the fucking words mean.
.308 and.30-06 are military calibers first, and hunting calibers second. They are popular hunting rounds because military weapons are cheap surplus.
I'm admittedly a little skewed - I shoot a lot, and when I do hunt (which is very rare) I generally use a.270 or.22-250 on whitetails, depending on the range. I own a lot of guns, though, and my preference for hunting guns and milsurps are quite a bit different.
I know you're being facetious, but what I meant was that individual fighters would use the 'net as a decentralized command & control. A place to ID targets, get news, and fight the ideological battle.
If the government were to shut down the internet, they would topple pretty quick - there's no faster way to piss off the average American than to take something away and inconvenience them.
We are no longer asleep, though. People all across the country are waking up to find we're well down the path of Socialism.
Also, if you think the US military will fight against the population, you're crazy. A revolution today would be fought on the internet mainly, and by individuals committing individual acts of terrorism/guerrilla warfare.
I would just like to add that there are 12 million hunting licenses sold in the US, while there are approx. 80-100 million gunowners.
Most gun owners are not hunters. Hunting calibers are also not as hard to find as military stuff..243 is everywhere, but 5.56,.308,.30-06,.45, 9mm --- that's what is hard to find.
Not a direct rebuttal to the parent post, I'm just sick of "sportsman" being synonymous to "gunowner".
I use KDE4 on ArchLinux quite a bit. Instead of using the defaults and configuring myself, I installed KDEmod4, which is basically just KDE4 with a sane default config. No, its not perfect for me, but probably 80% of the stuff I wanted done is already done.
In my experience, both KDE and Gnome need to spend some time setting up more usable default configs. Put an option in a config menu somewhere - "restore to default configuration" and "reset to base configuration". For the few users that want the bare-bones, plain jane install to start with, clicking that button shouldn't be too much work...
As an attendee of one of the tea party events, I can assure you that the "movement" nor the individual event I attended was organized by the Republican party.
The one at my capitol was organized by a libertarian with no affiliation. He voted for Baldwin the last cycle.
Hey, I'm with you. I buy as many as I can afford. I also watch the streets carefully everywhere I go, but I've not found one yet on the street. I'll keep looking.
Cavalry Arms, a store in AZ, was raided in Febuary of 2008. Their inventory was taken, along with their complete customer records, including backups. The pretense for the raid was "suspicious of violating federal firearms laws." Today, 14 months later, they have yet to be charged with a crime. Meanwhile, the items seized have been auctioned by the government, and they have not been reimbursed.
I could go on to show cases where ATF agents killed pets - in one case, stomping on a kitten on their way off the property - trashed citizens' houses and left the door busted in, and one case where the person being raided "committed suicide" - in a room that had already been searched for weapons, with an officer 5' away, and without getting gunshot residue on his hands.
Please people, I beg you. Wake up and see what's happening before this becomes more common.

Palin may "sound like" a moron to you, but Biden repeated acts like one.
The truck I drive has a Rand quote on the back glass that I swap out every couple of months. The county sheriff is a hard-core liberal.
I get pulled over every time a county cop gets close enough to run my plates.
If you keep the documents outside the VM, you have a persistent means of re-infection of your VM...

I'll throw my two cents in here and agree.

Try to compete with Apache? This is being done now, and there is quite a growing following: see Lighttpd

I'm completely aware of the legal means they used, and I'm not claiming what they did was inconsistent with the law.
Its immoral, though, and exactly what our founders tried to prevent with the 4th amendment to the Constitution.
Not even close to true. Iraq had very strict regulation on civilian possession of small arms.
This is the kind of thing that gun owners - especially licensed dealers - have put up with for years, from the BATFE.
Coming to America near you!
What's that you say? Just a gun nut talking?
