Something tells me my Email inbox is going to Skyrocket when this baby is released.
There are thousands of rich Princes and Dignitaries in the Third world that need US bank accounts to transfer their 40 million into, I just hope I am one of the lucky ones to get their email!!

He gets my Vote... if I lived in Utah, also one of his previous jobs was a Computer Tech, which makes him over qualified for Politics... but oh well:)
How exactly are any of these sites offering illegal content?
These Torrrent link sites DO NOT host any files, they are providing a search index.
Shutting down sites that provide information is a very bad precedence. How about google? You can find torrents indexed there, lets shut them down. Maybe we will soon start seeing corporations requesting for sites to be shut down that gave bad reviews to their products? Or maybe the MPAA has a case against movie critics, since their reviews damage their profit margins. And those damn libraries, they give out Authors products for FREE!! THEY NEED TO BE DESTROYED!!!
Why do people try to control information... Just let it be free.
I think keyhole has more Sat. Imagery of Iraq and Afghanistan, than all of the U.S. put together. This is pretty much a good way to tell if you are on the US hit list, when more and more Imagery is available for your Counrty (At least in the Middle East, otherwise Italy and Greece need to watch their asses).
Otherwise, I think this is a great step for Google to take if they are developing their own in-house MapQuest. Plus it is too much fun spinning the planet in circles.
There are many great ideas that people came up with on how the driver could have slowed the car. But nobody has listed the obvious one yet.
He should have kicked his way through the floor boards to the engine compartment. At which point he would have seen 6 wires, 2 of them being blue, 1 brown, 1 orange and 2 red. He would then have taken the brown, orange and 1 of the reds and spliced them together with a bit of electrical tape. But making sure that he was at all times grounded and that the blue wires did not come in contact with the red ones (Then you would have a whole new set of problems).
Once these wires are connected together, it is all downhill from there. You just have to use a screwdriver to crack open the steering column where you will find 4 more wires (blue, green, yellow/blue, red). Take the connected wires that you finished with earlier, use a 3 foot spare wire to run a bridge to the steering column connecting to the green and blue wire. Once this is all done, just push your horn 3 times in rapid succession and the car will slow right down.
Still makes me laugh that this guy never thought of this. Silly French people.

Yeah, I had a real bad experience with an HP Laptop and then I tried a Compaq Laptop after, yet with no luck :)
Something about this reminds me of glass houses and stone throwing, but I just can't put my finger on it.
You obviously aren't a student of the Rules of Aquisition...

Ignore my last last post, I didnt realize you were talking about Orrin Hatch, good call, he does need to get the axe :)
Not according to his site. Do you have any links to provide back up for this? Not flamming just curious.

This would probably have to be marked a "stub"...

Yeah! Who needs Oil and searching for WMD's, when we could corner the Hockey and Canadian Beer market!

Maybe they will expand on their Video Game campaign and start using Porn and Free Beer to get people to vote.
I want to be encouraged in this way.
It will motivate me.
Please?
"Whore in a Can", this definately sounds like a family product.
