In my experience an engineer's talent is in finding twelve ways to do the same thing and rotating through them over a period of years to justify his existence. And what does any of this have to do with Dr. Freud unless the previous poster what referring to the concept of a "Freudian slip"?
It has been my policy over the years never to deal with anyone who can't manage to render his ideas in passable English. Any legitimate operation is at least going to hire somebody to keep an eye on their official verbiage. And anyone smart enough to speak and write decent English is probably not going to need an illegal means of earning a living. This policy has served me well and has been virtually foolproof.
The one word I keep hearing here is "cheap." Apparently those of you who can't afford LCD TVs are trying to convince yourselves that you really have it better than those of us who can, because, wonder of wonders, it's BETTER! I have only one word for you guys, and it starts with BULL...
Somehow I don't think they'd be selling these things at Paper Clip Depot if they could blind someone. "You, in the second row, yes you, the guy I'm pointing at, you had a question?"
The real question is, how do the bozos in charge think this kind of prosecution is going to make anybody safer? Won't it actually make most of us less safe because it takes resources away from bona fide terrorists? This all harkens back to the McCarthy witch hunt. While Crazy Joe located exactly zero (0) actual Russian agents, the real Russian agents were laughing themselves sick at how easy the guy was making it for them. In both cases, it was about political and monetary gain, not about the phony hunt for spies/terrorists.
The crater in question resulted from a very rare toroidal meteor. Because of its shape the meteor rotates and is often mistaken for an alien space ship. Because these meteors are metallic, they generate an electromagnetic field that distorts brainwaves in such a manner that observers think they are seeing aliens.
This public service announcement was brought to you by the Martian Defense Force, who, we repeat, is not interested in invading your wonderful little planet...
Since the surface of our own planet went belly up and we had to move underground we have been looking for a suitable replacement sphere. Come to think of it, YOUR planet is rather nice...
What's the point of this? The folks they're afraid of either won't have the proper tracking equipment or they'll tell the Guard they're hauling bananas.
Gently coat with egg wash, dip in flour, then drop into your favorite hot oil filled wok. Flip when browned on bottom side (about 5 minutes). Serve with hot mustard and sweat and sour sauce.
This is actually very close to the system used in ancient England and parts of Gaul. The 56 Aubrey Holes at Stonehenge are based on this system (circa 3000BC). It was called the Even-Week Year and consisted of 13 28-day months, 52 weeks, and a single holiday that didn't fall on a weekday. This was called Fool's Day and is directly related to our modern April Fool's Day. Hence each day of the year always fell on the same day of the week and there were solar equivalents of our modern Easter and Christmas that fell on Sunday, the 25th of March and the 25th of December. For details, see "Origins of the Tarot Deck: A Study of the Astronomical Substructure of Game and Divining Boards."
None of this would be an issue if the current crop of Washington idiots would bother to read the constitution. I know, I know, most of them can't read--but they could get Condoleeza Rice to read it to them if they really cared....
Actually, it sounds pretty rational to me. I don't necessarily agree with his slant on Bill Clinton, but I don't see anything at all trollish about him. I have said things in a similar vein myself and I certainly don't consider myself a troll. Apparently, being consistent in ones dislike of a particular group of individuals is considered trolling, though this only seems to be applied selectively. Gee, freedom really is a pain in the butt, isn't it?
I suggest you watch Maroru Oshii's "Avalon." In the movie, some folks actually earn their livings in the game. And if you advance high enough, you may actually be admitted into the small group of people who run it.
The scary thing is, this doesn't sound all that outlandish....
By the way, some guy at work, after installing Firefox, asked me if his firewall would still work. Apparently, he thinks spyware and trojans use IE to get to the internet.
So let me get this straight....You fell into Monkey Island at the zoo and landed on an orangutan, and when they patched you both up they got your brain and the ape's mixed up? Is that about it or am I missing something?
I have tried Google popup blocker and third party blockers and the Firefox one is the best, least obtrusive one I've used. It almost seems to be psychic with what it blocks and what it lets through.

You mean herbal Viagra is made from Spam??! Does the FDA know about this? Why hasn't Spam started an ad campaign about this? "Eat Spam and grow large in TWO places!"

"...slip through your fingers.
"Paging Dr. Freud!"
Does this have something to do with Ms. Fiorina's underwear?

Sounds like YOU are the one with the anger problem...

If you think this is great, just wait till we have privately funded national defense. Then you'll really see some scifi scenarios!

It's a losing battle.

The answer, of course, is a eugenics virus.

Yeah, it comes only when there are serious impacts.
Yes it does.
"are the models built realistic?"
No model I've ever seen has been built realistic. They're always skinnier than hell and walk like they have a rotorooter up their ass....
