No. Every time I saw Kerry on t.v. he was "take the troops out of Iraq". This means one thing "Take the troops out of Iraq". He didn't bother to make his viewpoint better known. I lived at a college where it was very hard for the media of any sort to make any penetration and all it came across as was "get the troops out"... incase I havn't made that any more plain.
I liked Bush better because he favored a long term solution to the government in Iraq. We don't need troops from other countries to come especially as most countries (not all) are not on our level of training or readiness. They also lack our money to spend on logistics and force projection. All we need is thier sanction. The Iraqi troops will not be able to "take over security" detail in fact or in name UNTIL there is peace or subjugation of the rebel forces ("insurgents").
I also know that Bush will aprove funding for keeping our boys safe. I don't know any servicemen who dislike Bush... but Kerry seems dishonest to them. I know that Kerry served... and that makes me wonder why they get this impression. That Kerry makes them uneasy should make us uneasy... well, it does me.
As for being informed... I'm not terribly informed I'll admit. But I know what I was hearing and even though neither of them is perfect Bush and the Republican party seemed most in-tune with the way I think things should be run.
I take responsibility for my actions though, even as most voters do not. If gas prices are the fault of a Republican government... then... "oops" and oh damn well. It probably would have happened either way... what with Oil Factory bombings and the backlash that has been going on for several years to catch our gas prices up to the rest of the world's.
I also hate (not the parent but a few posts up) that people say that Bush was in it for the oil, but it is his fault gas prices are up. Think about it for a while. Look at it from an ironic perspective and its pretty funny, I'll admit. BUt it doesn't make sense. If Bush was "in it for the oil" we'd be "getting the oil" not "paying out the ass for it".
Maybe someone was in it for the oil. They didn't get thier way.
At least we have a president who will respect some of our civil liberties (hey, don't do anything wrong if you don't like the patriot act... don't be a terrorist!) like the right to own fire arms and defend ourselves. Death penalty as a deterent (though not much of one, I'll admit) and as a way to remove people from society that we no longer wish to burden ourselves with. They violated the social contract... so bye bye. He'll also bonk terrorists with big sticks until they have to hide in thier own shit.
It is a funny freaking world we live in when before a certain date Democrats say "We need a smaller military" and then after that date they say "We need to protect our soil!" and the Republicans (at least of the relevant last few decades) say "UGH! Military Good! UGH!" It may seem barbaric but at least you know where they'll stand tomorrow.
I got what I voted for and am happy with the situation. I have a job and things look great.
Peace
Actually I thought I was not voting for Kerry.
Thats what I figured in any case...
Horribly uninformed goes both ways... and I don't give a crap really about gas prices. They don't really creep into my income... I mean sure, transportation prices for ALL goods go up... but they seem to raise anyway.
Gas is expensive, big deal. Maybe it'll hit US$20/Gallon and we'll see some real interesting shit. I want to see the first/. mo-mo build his own nuclear reactor. His server will have a real meltdown *rimshot*.
Seriously though... I didn't want Kerry to just jerk us out of Iraq. Thats why I voted bush. I want our men and women to come home goddamnit... but I know (from a huge number of friends in the service) that they don't want to leave the job undone.
temperance
1. Moderation and self-restraint, as in behavior or expression.
2. Restraint in the use of or abstinence from alcoholic liquors. See Synonyms at abstinence.
I know you said "i.e." but still... that is not the context/meaning of Temperance in the Bible. When they mean absitnence they say "shall not", "do not", or "abstain" or some such.
Yes some people take it as far as abstinence but that is not what the word "temperance" means in all cases. Self-restraint from over-indulgence and things. Don't get smashed and do somthing stupid... pretty sound advice if you ask me... plus it keeps you healthy.
The latin and hebrew and other languages that the Lord's prayer came from probably had similar or equal words for those English words... and similar contexts. This has nothing to do with the fault of the worshipers. The prayer is then taught from generation to generation and remembered that way. Some sects also focus on different things... and that comes out in the translations.
I pretty much agree with the rest. "Day" is a rough construct when talking about creation. A lot of God's ideas would be hard to express to a mortal mind... I think. And God's presence to inspire you to write the Bible would also probably be fairly overwhelming and such. Think about it. People go all babbly over Brad Pitt or Cameron Diaz... they'd fall to pieces over God.
I supose someone has to try and make sure that the shores are safe for the relief forces... but the thing about the Legion is true. You are correct.
Somthing odd about the way that foriegners in any country (or at least peoples who come from other countries) are more willing (or thier descendants) to serve in the military (or police or other services).
This... is absolute crap. Of course not much to do to complain about it. Just odd to note that the difference in the forecast b/t Richmond and S.F. is that great. Also it is worth noting that Charleston is unusualy cool/dry for this time of year, IIRC. I know August will be just plain brutal.
And to bring this back on topic... I've seen the same things done with a box-fan and a wet towel... though this is more intricate. If you want to go all out... the local Publix (to me anyway) sells dry ice. Get some dry ice and some salt water, throw a lid on the garbage pail... and you should be rocking out. Serious cold. Impress your friends. Use only in a well ventilated area.
The PS3 will launch with an already impressive library of games as it is fully backwards compatible. The Xbox360 will not be backwards compatible with all games. And the Xbox managed to launch with craptacular titles and keep them rolling.
I've loved my PS2 since I've bought it but lived with a roomate who had an Xbox. The Xbox rocked for modding but the "got to have" games were almost always PS2. Especially RPG.
I've also loved my Gamecube... but I'll admit I'm only going to buy the Revolution because: it is backwards compatible, we'll be able to buy/download older games (sweet sweet classics), and I am a consumer whore. Also there will be Zeldas and Metroids. I imagine. And maybe a return to Final Fantasy for serious.
But seriously... I favor the PS3 for its past library. Xbox360 can wait.
If regular suplies were needed I'm sure that the first supply ship would need to be in orbit 3-4 months after your colony ship was launched. A series of ships would be sent out later. Logistics my man, logistics. Of course it would take incredible logistical foresight. It *would* take 18 months for any emergency suplies to reach there.
**This assumes an 18 month travel time for Mars. Adjust to your own liking.
Simple, more people know how to use the windows layout. It isn't a matter of "right" and "wrong" but a matter of market share. Windows has lots. Furthermore... why take a hardcore stance on buttons. Windows lets you change the keymap... OS/X should too. I know you can do all sorts of crazy stuff in Linux/X-Windows to change things like that. Make it all Space+Click+Cmd. Oh, and a two button mouse makes for one handed opperation. Seven buttons and a scroll wheel are awesome.
Most college courses seem to be rooted in the theoretical. In theory most college students know how to build bridges or design multi billion dollar systems. In reality (practical app courses, internships) we can barely find our assess with two hands and a map. I can't imagine that it would be too much different anywhere you go.
Actually looks like to me he could only have missed by a few seconds as his minutes and hour stamp is the same as the FP'er. Oh, and way to be completely insensitive and not in the normal clod way.
To turn off a whole dorm here they just pull a plug from a fiber optic socket. They do this with impunity if a worm gets loose inside one of the dorms. They like Firefox though and it is required on ever computer. Most people don't use it though because they don't know.
Delta_t... isn't that some kind of frat? I understand the whole EE majojr thing; my roomate is one and he stays up to all hours studying. Now is exam time and he fell asleep at the wheel from this crap. Not really the course's fault... he's just bad at studying/staying awake. He's fine though. Back on the subject: The culture here makes little time for recreation except on Wed from 1500-1950, Fri from 1800-0100, Sat from 0500-0100, and Sun from 0900-1950. Most children stay in and do work... and even the liberal arts kids are pretty smart compared to other schools. And before you speak ill... we have a top rated EE and CE department. However my own CSCI department isn't even on the charts though we have some bright minds. Most of the CSCI kids "liked computers" and wanted to be in the Air-Force or some such. The Air Force and other servicies like kids who "know" CSCI.
Hey in some places 20-23 is full load now. We don't take 6 years to graduate and the 5th year student is rare. 127 credit hours required and there are a few other classess that you have to take but get zero hours for. Most students here tend between 16-19 hours and it is almost impossible to take less than 15. I'm only managing 14 hours next semester. Twelve is the bare minimum: you register for that many or you don't register. Its not that hard and it makes me sick to hear people whine about their 15 hour load; especially when I was taking 21-22 hours. I've earned my rest.
Right on... here where I go 15 credits is the lowest most people get,18 is the average load, and 21-27 is the high end of the range. Of course special permission is needed to go over 23. I've taken 20 for three semesters in a row. We also have a lot of 0 hour required classess. On top of that a computer competency exam (really really easy) must be passed for you to graduate. With regards to IE and FireFox... our school has nominaly switched to firefox but most students have no idea why they had to install firefox to register for the internet. Nor do they have an idea what it actually is. Every student computer in the school has at least 0.8 though. However our network is so screwy I think we loose 10%-20% traffic through packet loss. (Is that possible?) In short: 1 credit hour is nothing, firefox is great, and most people don't understand exactly what it is even if it is on their computer; underscoring their ignorance about what is on there. I have some horror stories from working in the student ITS department.
When I was in HS there were hot chicks in drama club... but they were all, how shall I say, mentaly alarming. By that I mean "misunderstood, uniquie snowflakes", "dumb", "ate lead paint", or "need psychiatric evaluation". Plus they were surrounded by gay dudes.
You don't own a GC... thats really sad. A lot of people bash it for the lack of title selection. I would have to say that owning Metroid Prime, Zelda, the Zelda Collection cd's, some of the Resident Evils, and this new Metroid as well as future Zelda games make the GC quite a good purchase; especially for someone who appreciates finer titles. Kinda like you have to own a PS2 to play good RPGs. Thats changing though.

Anyway... yea, dry ice. (cooling, air, heat bad, ontopic)
No... but they are angry. And they don't like it...
But last time a despot tried to take over thier country... they wanted help real quick. I guess it is a matter of perspective.
But in any cases US soldiers would liberate/defend either country as they are called to do.
May the French should be envious of that. Of the ability in any case. Of the dedication of our fighting men and women.
Oh, and I hope California falls off.
Location:
Charleston, SC 3247'N,7956'W
Richmond, Va. 3733'N,7729'W
San Francisco, CA 3747'N,12226'W
Hmmm... thats... (69.2 * 5).. 346 miles north (Both Richmond and San Fran) of Charleston. Let us see.
Weather (Today's Forecast... High/Low Humidity%):
Charleston---- 90/74 83%
San Francisco- 63/53 100%
Richmond------ 94/72 70%
This... is absolute crap. Of course not much to do to complain about it. Just odd to note that the difference in the forecast b/t Richmond and S.F. is that great. Also it is worth noting that Charleston is unusualy cool/dry for this time of year, IIRC. I know August will be just plain brutal.

This is CHEAP
This is actualy a solution

(Belated note: Putting a lid on the pail and using in a well ventilated area are a bit contradictory. I don't know which one I mean.)

Or you could scramble about like a moron trying to remove the batteries from your wireless keyboard.
