Rocket launch, nope. US Army Signal equipment, yes. I've received all six shots in the Anthrax Vaccination series, the first five when I deployed the first time. I'm on yearly boosters now, and I declined the one I "should" have received before the current tour I'm on now in sunny Iraq.
The vaccine doesn't really have any adverse effects. The shot site swells a bit, and you get a knot but nothing terrible. You don't hate your life, and you can definitely function fine. You gotta remember, all our troops have already gotten at least one shot in the series, and we're still a fighting force and we're not falling over dead. No big deal.
Funny, I was thinking that the first thing I would do if I ever got my hands on one of these is change the useless-to-me windows key, and bind it to my favorite pr0n site. Bewbies on demand, with just one keystroke!
People are willing to pay good money for a retro cassette drive for their computers right now to gain points with the geek crowd.
Wait a minute; I'm going to sell my "crap box" full of floppy drives on eBay for the retro crowd. I'll soon be a thousandaire. Or at least a hundredaire.
If it walks and barks like a dog, it's a dog, no matter what you call it.
Have you ever called 1-800-COL-LECT? Have you ever called 1-800-COL-MECT? Same thing. You get a "collect call long distance provider". Just not the one you wanted. Profiting off of other peoples' errors isn't exactly a new idea. This is just a variation on a theme.
On a funny note, I originally heard about this 800 number scheme while reading Jenna Jameson's autobiography, "How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale". Her husband apparentally made quite a bit of money in the mistyped 800 number business.
I quit smoking. Because, coughing, smelling terrible, yellow teeth, cancer and a premature death weren't enough.
Now, the reason I finally quit was not monetary. Once you start paying for smokes, the 30 bucks a week doesn't kill you, because you are accustomed to paying for it. Hitting people in the pocket books isn't going to make them quit. Taxing the hell outta them isn't going to make them quit. The bottom line is, if they want to smoke, they will. It's taxation masquerading as the Gov't helping people quit smoking, and generating revenue at the same time. Baloney.
Now, kindly stop harassing these online retailers, and let the smoking masses get back to systematically killing themselves.

Definitely a good idea. Definitely. Definitely.
By "PC refurbishment and training charities" he means me. Just wanted to clear that one up.

Cat: What is it? Kryten: It's a white hole.
Obviously, the "Department of redundency department". Obviously.
While I truly love any chance to insert a Heinlein reference, I wish do god that quote didn't come from the horrible adaptation of the book.
I was wondering how long it would take before someone brought up Starship Troopers, although I figured the debate would be a little hotter.
It's called bendable porn, silly.

Two scoops of ice cream, and two scoops of PowerBook.
Hate mail goes here!
That's funny. I'm also from Missouri, and I find that comparison surprisingly accurate.

"...described by some scientists as part of the brain's 'oops' center..."
My brains "oops" center is located in a more southern and groinular region.
