    I still don't get how you get moderated up when your posts have no basis in fact whatsoever. It's the percentage that matters. The specific percentage is ROI or Return on Investment. Their ROI is not higher so you can take your argument and shove it where the sun don't shine.

    They didn't want to sneak in anything. They wanted everyone to stay so they could discuss their bill! Pelosi has been blocking the discussion. She is not doing her job. She'd rather promote her book then do her job.

    This is the MOST retarded post I've read about OIL POLICY. Did you know that an article to be published in the Energy Journal about how drilling would immediately lower prices was denied because the conclusion was so obvious that it didn't merit publishing?

    Read more about it here:

    The liberals are the ones who choose to go on vacation when their own country is facing an ongoing crisis. Of course Drilling is NOT an energy policy. NOBODY is saying it is. In fact Republicans pushed a comprehensive energy policy that included drilling, alternative energy, nuclear, etc. etc. and Pelosi BLOCKED IT FROM EVEN BEING DISCUSSED!

    Actually you can bike a lot further then you think. In addition it's not a waste of time in places with traffic congestion and you can travel faster by going a constant 15 mph as opposed to a stop and go 25mph. The roads would still exist obviously for an infinite amount of reasons but bike pathways and then offshoots of those pathways into may places of business would ease traffic and promote health and limit pollution.

    Â 2 Grant of license.

    It is THE most powerful database of public records and sometimes not-so public records in the entire world. You can start with a name and city and match a person and get social, dob, city of birth, all their criminal and civil cases, any citations including speeding tickets, any mention of them in other criminal or civil cases, news articles, legal findings etc. etc. etc.

    Needless to say it is very dangerous in the wrong hands.

    I think there is something to hating the latest OS release but with Vista it's different. With XP you could tweak it from day 1 to act exactly like 98SE except with a more stable kernel and protected mode drivers and all that shit. With Vista it's a whole new game. Vista makes me want to vomit. Mostly because powerhouse computers still take total craps with it. The Indexing service has gone to shit. They had MAJOR bugs like the File Transfer bug that just got fixed recently. Still File Transfers take longer then on XP. Why? Then the stupid implementation of UAC. Lastly the running of apps with them disappearing and NOT FRICKIN' ERROR MESSAGE! Nothing! Just click, run, nothing! Right-Click --> Run as Admin ... WTF! (pounds keyboard and screams inflammatory statements at Bill Gates) and nothing! WTF! I will ALWAYS hate Vista and the bloatware it brought to the PC. I hope 7 lets me turn that crap off and fixes the MAJOR bugs.

    Really if you don't want to get out you can always use an elliptical machine and maybe a bowflex for strength training in your home but eventually you just need to get outside.

    Endurance sports are a great way to stay in shape. www.amateurendurance.com covers all kinds of sports from Triathlons to Marathons and 5k runs to Century rides and Ultra-marathons. It's really not that hard to get started. There are literally events happening every weekend. You can train on your elliptical at home if you want and just participate in events on the weekend. You'll be surprised at the wide range of people who participate in these events. You have overweight teens to 75 year old women and everything in between. Trust me, just finishing an event will get you cheers and that's a good motivator to keep doing it.

    Math Classes should focus on Math Concepts and should push students in this regard but should not make it so students have to waste a bunch of time doing multiplication and division by hand say past the 5th grade. Math classes should ALWAYS allow a calculator and a computer with a spreadsheet program and a program like mathmatica would be better. I do ALL my math in Excel now that I actually have a job and I can't figure out why anybody would want to WASTE a bunch of time on mundane math when it's understanding the concepts that matters.

Plus it wastes the courts time and the publics money funding those courts.
