Frankly, I'd like to see a very limited provision for rescheduling the election in place before it's needed. Would you rather have a law on the books allowing, say, state governors to move their state's elections back up to 30 days, or have a terrorist attack occur on election day and be met with the administration delaying the election "indefinitely"?
You could probably better spend your time finding real sexism, rather than imagining it based on the word choice of a sentence. Your logic that the subject of a sentence is "afforded higher status" is inconsistent with English usage.
To confirm this, I could ask my well-educated professor. Other college students could ask their professors. Enlisted military personnel could ask their commanding officers, while religious people could pray to theirgod. Are you really going to make the case that those sentences afford higher status to the subject?
Basically, you're passing on data from the windows URI handler... so it's almost like importing a windows IE/Web insecurity into Moz. Perhaps if Moz just imported the windows URI handlers as a datafile, and stripped out known baddies?
Relying on stripping out "known baddies" means that what you're really relying on is your list of known baddies. Any new baddie is, by definition, not on that list. Stripping them out is a start (web pages don't need access to shell://), but it's not a complete solution.

Stick a camera on the bottom of it, and I'm sure the government will have no objections whatsoever.
The thing is at 65,000 ft., so you're not really going to be able to see much of it except during launch and landing.

I don't think they're going to replace ground-based cables anytime soon, but they present some neat possibilities for replacing things we currently do with towers and satellites. They say that one of these platforms can have line-of-sight to an area the size of Texas. That could do amazing things for cellular phone and wireless Internet coverage.
During the primaries, the Bush campaign called voters in South Carolina and conducted a "poll" that consisted of asking "Would you be more likely or less likely to vote for John McCain for president if you knew he had fathered an illegitimate black child?"
So a drone with exposed pistons that can't be piloted from more than 5 miles or so away represents an imminent threat to the US? The 9-11 commission found links between Iraq and Al Qaeda, but no evidence of cooperation or a "collaborative relationship". Only two of the rounds found by the Poles tested positive for Sarin, and those were determined to be 20 years old (from the war with Iran) and "were determined to have little to no impact if used".
On the subject of Bush and his administration lying, how about the assertion that John McCain has an illegitimate African-American child? Can you back that one up?
In any event; I'm done with this thread. The original claim was that nobody ever produced evidence of Bush lying, and I've done that.
All of this, of course, ignores the fact that when the President of the United States decides to embrace the doctrine of preemptive war, claiming that there is an imminent threat to his own nation, the burdern of proof is on him to support those claims. Let's see the evidence of WMDs in Iraq. How about those aerial drones that could be used against the US? An Iraq-Al Qaeda link? Some uranium from Africa? Anything?
It's not necessarily true that lowering the prices would result in sufficiently increased sales to offset the losses from the price reduction. Don't you think that maybe, just maybe, they've considered this, and they don't think they'd get enough increased sales to make it worthwhile?
And that's just the software side of it. You also have to replace/upgrade the machine that stamps the VIN at the factory, you have to upgrade the proprietary VIN barcode scanner at the mechanic, etc.
I believe that he is doing things because he thinks they are the right thing to do. I haven't seen any lies that bush has used. I've seen plenty of people claim he's lied, but haven't backed up those claims at all, or atleast with evidence that was relavent and not easily disproved.
Actually, the difference is that a degree is an academic title given to a student when they complete a course of study, while a diploma is a piece of paper signifying that the holder has earned a degree.
Example: I was awarded my degree at commencement, but I had to wait a few weeks for my diploma to arrive in the mail.
You (and anyone else who still plays Civ II) should check out Civilization II: Test of Time. It's Civ II with better graphics, multiplayer, and an option to continue the game after you colonize Alpha Centauri, letting you play on the new world while you simultaneously manage things back home.
When it first came out, the graphics seemed to make the game run slowly, but on today's computers it runs just fine. It'll be on the discount rack, too, which makes it that much better.
Davis said that once the account is set up, the software will allow for e-mail, remote printing, spreadsheets, calendars and other computer tools at any computer. Users' documents are then stored on a remote, secure server and can be accessed via the Internet.
Sounds good to me. I can't think of any reason not to trust government contractors with my personal information.
I agree that this is probably where telephones are headed, especially if you keep in mind that the system could easily first look for a Michael Joseph Smith in NYC that you have called before, and only prompt you to resolve ambiguities if they arise. Maybe there'd be something along the lines of "NYC, Michael Smith, I'm feeling lucky" that would just connect you to the first Michael Smith it found.
What I think is really interesting, though, is that this was all possible 100 years ago, when you picked up a phone and got an operator on the other end.

.kr domains are South Korea, while .kp is reserved for North Korea (don't think they actually use it yet, though).

Wow. The most I've ever gotten is a date with one of the girls who works at the Earthlink kiosk.
You know you're a geek when you complain about getting a date instead of assistance with electronics.

And people think that geeks have poor social skills.

Yeah, and in 15 years you'll be complaining about your job being outsourced to Uganda.
I hear they have a great restaurant.

Now who's ignoring the facts?
They are. One for the scientists and one for the servents quarters.
Any chance of getting a third one, for the telephone sanitizers?
