They are not meant solely for wounding and killing. Target shooting is an internationally recognized sport. It teaches patience, dedication, and enforces awareness of your surroundings.
There's no reason that you shouldn't teach your children about those things. If alcohol isn't a rebellious thing, but simply a beverage, then they are less likely to abuse it. Simply ignoring the existance of something dangerous will not protect your children from it; either you can educate them, or society can educate them, and society doesn't have a great track record in that respect.
Indeed! Get the kids BB guns when they're young, allow them a.22 when they demonstrate responsibility. Not exposing your kids to guns yourself (or having a responsible friend expose them) will just leave their first shooting experience to their peers, which can/does end poorly.
They really just need the area code and maybe the exchange for statistics purposes, so you can satisfy their need for data and your need for privacy by faking the last four digits. Or, you can be extra ironic and give them their own phone number and see if they blink.
Is there much point to new SCSI drives, as Serial ATA becomes a more widespread technology? From what I've heard, it can hit similar speeds but has several benefits over SCSI (not least of which is those nice thin cables) at a lower price.
Of course, when your insurance company mandates that you use the cheaper, older drug to cust costs, you'll bitch that big business cares more about profits than your health.
way better internet alternatives to shitty 3MB cable (japan has 100MB fiber to house)
See, Japan can implement a new communications network in much less time than America because of the much smaller landmass and denser population (their infrastructure was also started a while after America's, and thus had more extensibility in mind). There are regions of the US that still can't hit a 36.6 or 56K modem connection, because the economics of running new networks to the middle of nowhere for one or two customers just don't exist. Compare to Japan, where no matter where you run a network to there are thousands of customers.
Actually, its immigrate, if you want to come to America and take part in the selection of a new president. International carpetbagging... now thats a thought.
Yep, pretty much right. A non-American's opinion in the 2004 presidential election is pretty much as irrelevant as it gets. Likewise, my opinion on Tony Blair's campaign is also irrelevant. If you really care that much, you can immigrate.
If you check out windows.h, there's stuff relating to all sorts of platforms (quick glance shows x86, AMD64, 68K, PPC, and IA64). I figure its pretty questionable if versions of windows actually exist that support some of these platforms (for some reason, I just don't see that kind of weight being supported on a 68K...), but at least they were sort of planning ahead...
You mean, you did nothing, riding out the previous few administrations' work, jumping out just as the economy tanked, leaving it all to the next guy... brilliant plan.
Claiming that the other side does not exist is a pretty crummy way to begin a debate. Both sides believe that their position is the correct one, and that their evidence is irrefutable. Either side could be right, that is why these kinds of issues need to be exposed (both sides of them!) and investigated.
Do not mistake your personal beliefs for absolute truth.
There have been systems that can display what appears to be a floating 3D image in existance for some time. They usually are rather large though, essentially a huge box around a little viewing chamber (to hide the bad field of view). They work by projecting onto a vibrating mirror (similar to those parabolic dishes where the penny appears to float in space)
The electoral college does serve a purpose: the average voter is not informed enough to cast a well considered vote. The idea is that they vote for the smartest guy in town, who sorts out the issue and casts a vote. Don't get started with 'but that doesn't allow people's voice to be heard', you're going to be picking an elector who shares your views. The requirement that electoral votes be cast by proportion of popular vote is a bad thing; it groups popular votes together in a bizarre fashion that doesn't reflect the actual result at all.
The key here is that you don't add anything to the existing infrastructure. The brand new signs in Boston work just as well with the system as the signs put up in the 50's in West Bumfuck. Smart driving systems need to drive like people, taking input from visual cues, to be truely useful on all roads (signage is usually good enough that you don't need assistance in places where its replaced often enough the RFID tags could appear quickly)

And then we need to topple the despotic regimes harboring the perpetrators of these particles, free their peoples and establish new democracies!
They missed the deadline 3 years ago, and figured that it wasn't worth the late fee.

And then someone, somewhere, will be bored enough to implement it in PHP.
Apparently, that 1 extra ballot is all you need ... one person illegally registered per polling location isn't terribly difficult to manifest.

If you spend more than $200 on a cell phone, I would hope it was full-featured enough that you don't actually need a Gameboy knock-off ...

It failed, and is known to fail, so you're buying another one? Way to support planned obsolesence. But it doesn't run Windows, so its ok, right?

CO2 also doesn't explode, so it's safe to store.
... neither does nuclear waste. What CO2 does do, that nuclear waste does not, is roll down mountains as a cloud, smothering entire villages.
Um
You, sir, are an idiot. If you want to reform the system by voting, you really need to vote for a candidate whose position you understand and support.

I can pay in MP3s for drugs and hookers? Sweeeet ...

Indeed! How does "R-Texas ... a libertarian" work? Should that nor be "L-Texas", or does the index of senators only support 2 parties?
