Some background on the treaties. Interesting thing is that the US has signed, but the Senate has not yet ratified. After the debacle over the Geneva Conventions and the recent history of backing out, I can't imagine it will ever be signed into law.
Melting is an endothermic reaction, cooling the air as it melts. You can say that it's absorbing the extra energy that the planet is gaining and acting as a shock absorber. However, once that is gone and Antartica(who is going to claim it?) it is anyone's guess what will happen. Humans are pretty adapt at changing environment, but history shows that many species aren't.
No you should just say "Oh so I don't need to hide anymore" and take off your pants and walk off like nobody's business. I guess I could have used a tube analogy, but that one would require more skill.
Very nice. I wish people spent as much time educating their neighbors etc about important stuff like this as much as they vent on/. how those people are dumb.
While products like this produce more negative ion than positive and thus impart a overall negative charge to whatever they blow on, its is possible to buy a neutral ion generating power supply from Amazing1.com for instance. These types of ion generators are used in server rooms and clean rooms all over the world as they are designed to remove pollutants from the air as well as neutralize any static buildup at all on any surface. With our ionic filter system, we need to just remove a single diode to remove the negative ion production.
Doesn't mention any diodes later though. I would keep one hand in your pocket when testing this one..
True, but it must bug you that you are also paying for the HD part. Don't think they are going to give it away for "free." Unless you mean "free DRM." Once they get the HD layers integrated in the whole DVD production process and people upgrading to HDMI, it's just a matter of time when everybody will seamlessly be integrated with DRM. Everything clicks into place and you start getting bills for watching those HD movies. Don't pay? Fine we turn off your TV, HD/DVD, toaster, etc. Good deal!
What that means is a power not prohibited by the constitution can be give to a state or local government.
You just outlined the reason why Madison didn't want to include a Bill of Rights in the first place:
"It has been objected also against a bill of rights, that, by enumerating particular exceptions to the grant of power, it would disparage those rights which were not placed in that enumeration; and it might follow by implication, that those rights which were not singled out, were intended to be assigned into the hands of the General Government, and were consequently insecure. This is one of the most plausible arguments I have ever heard against the admission of a bill of rights into this system; but, I conceive, that it may be guarded against."
ALL rights government has are derived from the Constitution and ultimately from the people. If you fail to understand that then you fail to understand the whole concept behind the Constitution.
even paying down some old debts can even HURT your score
How is that a suprise? They are in the business to make money lending you money. They want suckers who take enough cash so they pay the interest for a long time, not ones who default on the loan or keep paying it back without accumulating interest. They use the credit scores to maximize their profits, not to minimize them.
The surface velocity decreases with the cosine of the geographic latitude, so space launch facilities are often located as close to the equator as feasible, e.g. the American Cape Canaveral in Florida and the European Centre Spatial Guyanais, only 5 degrees from the equator in Guyana.
Under federal law -- the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act -- it's illegal for anyone to:
use false, fictitious or fraudulent statements or documents to get customer information from a financial institution or directly from a customer of a financial institution.
use forged, counterfeit, lost, or stolen documents to get customer information from a financial institution or directly from a customer of a financial institution.
ask another person to get someone else's customer information using false, fictitious or fraudulent statements or using false, fictitious or fraudulent documents or forged, counterfeit, lost, or stolen documents.
You both made a valid point, but what you have come up with is a worthy question. Should an artist get paid before, or after a work? As you have shown there are problems with both models. However, why either and not both? As I see it, it is a more interesting proposition to be watching an artist work and seeing what it produces and how it reflects us in that process. Internet makes it possible to see the creation as it is being made and offer support($$) along the way. Some people might catch later on and can do so then. I think the "build it and they will come" methodology is most helpful here. Look at YouTube. Everyone and their grandmother is making amateur videos and experimenting with technology. What is really needed are the tools to make the big recording studios and movie studios green with envy at what a few inexperienced and uneducated 'amateurs' can do. The rampant 'expertism' has been getting erased from the heights of "professional journalism" by those amateurs, and they are not so easily dismissed anymore. We would like to put the 'burden of creation'($$) on the artist and the artist would like to put that burden on the fans. I think the tit-for-tat mentality that made bittorrent popular would be just as useful here. If you are making something that nobody(yet alive?) wants, how the hell do you expect to live off it?
The report published by the Tower Commission, known as the Tower Commission Report, was delivered to the President on February 26, 1987. It criticized the actions of Oliver North, John Poindexter, Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger and others. It did not determine that the President had knowledge of the extent of the program, although it argued that the President ought to have had better control of the National Security Council staff.
But that's not the interesting part:
Some doubted the intentions of the Tower Commission and believed that it was a political stunt. The commission limited its criticism of Vice President George Bush. Subsequently, the head of the commission, John Tower, was nominated to the position of Secretary of Defense by Bush when he became President. He was not confirmed by the Senate. Brent Scowcroft was named National Security Advisor.
And the nail in the coffin:
Faced with undeniable evidence of his involvement in the scandal, Reagan expressed regret regarding the situation at a nationally televised White House press conference on March 4, 1987. Responding to questions, Reagan stated that his previous assertions that the U.S. did not trade arms for hostages were incorrect. He also stated that the Vice President knew of the plan.
"A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages," said Ronald Reagan on March 4, 1987. "My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not."
You scratch my back, I scratch yours. Don't you love politix?
Maybe, but there are 85Mbps adapters nowadays. A couple of years ago at a trade show I was looking at specs of 200Mbps. HD signal needs about 20Mbps so you can have 4 simultaneous HD streams, and that's now. It might have line noise, but its a hell of a lot less than you would get on wireless.

Point taken, but a tiger's gotta earn his stripes.

Yes, the ol' conservation of sludge. Fine example, really.
I have 5 installed. Hard time getting auditions though.
Getting hit by one? *ducks*
It's no joke that the IC industry is dirty. Just ask the people who live there.
