Wait, what? I kept paying for insurance for my daughter (who's generally healthy and therefore a source of income for the insurance company) instead of dropping coverage for her, and that caused rates to go up?
No, I picked mine up from the VW factory in Wolfsburg. Still my favorite car so far, though less reliable than the Subaru I had after it (but not by too much).
Only two? Jeeze, I think when I heard that joke, it was like seven, with all the jobs listed out, and finally ending with the 'you got a problem with that?' line.

Hmm, I might be ok with that, if they did it on Wall Street!
"Awful Pity" doesn't begin to describe it... This quote: "officials say all seven dashboard cameras in the police cruisers coincidentally malfunctioned" is a couple pages in, but the whole article is worth reading. http://reason.com/archives/2010/12/07/the-war-on-cameras
Weird. I can't test it now (I've got Caps-Lock physically rewired as Control on this keyboard), but I swear that Caps-Lock was more of an Alpha-Lock, and didn't affect punctuation keys. But then again, I guess that depends on the software.
The key to the left of 'A' (US English Keyboard) was Control, not Caps-Lock. Caps-Lock was activated/deactivated with Command-Shift. Caps-Lock as a key in such prime real estate on the keyboard is idiotic.
Interesting. The data download on my ancient DirecTivo stopped yesterday or Sunday. It reports one receiver getting 89% and the other 0%. I figured it was the Tivo going bad (it's been rebooting itself a lot lately), but maybe it's the satellite.
Unfortunately, the government's opinion on the Constitution is a reflection of the people's opinion.
In general, it seems most people aren't in favor of freedom if it means risk. See the reaction to the new TSA procedures and how much actual opting-out and protest there really was.
Certainly during the Bush presidency, the administration was promoting fear, (and there is probably still more of that going on, but I haven't seen nearly as much of it, but I'm certainly biased) and even now the media pushes fear for their own purposes. But if the public weren't so easy to manipulate that way and so willing to trade freedom for "safety", the press and the political machines wouldn't be so successful.
I do the same thing, but there's a good argument to be made that the medium should separate from that information. Perhaps meta-tags on the message, combined with settings on the receiver's various devices.
Yeah, because he, like most Christians is blind to the fact that any government support of a religion is effectively the same as an official religion. Imagine for a minute if the decorations he decries being removed were Muslim rather than Christian.
He's so steeped in Christianity that he's blind to it. And he's a damn liar: "and the Constitution, both replete with references to God". What a bunch of shit. The Constitution explicitly does not mention 'god', and the closest thing to it is a single "year of our lord".

You probably think Republicans are good for the stock market too...

Well, it allowed me to keep my daughter on my (from work) health insurance even though she's graduated high school... So, I'm in favor.

Or, it was the one laptop which made it out the door before the new employee's poor work was discovered and they were fired...
The machine is 2x as fast as the one I bought last year, has 10Gb I/O, for the same price.
Please have the "analyst" compare my 1989 VW Jetta to today's model for a "ho hum" upgrade...
You might care that there's a snowstorm or airline employee strike in Chicago, or riots in LA...
Sure, I did :-)
Ok, but you're wrong on that point. The physics and empirical data show you're wrong.
Ah, my kingdom for mod points...
Why are you bringing factorials into this discussion of addition?
Only two? Jeeze, I think when I heard that joke, it was like seven, with all the jobs listed out, and finally ending with the 'you got a problem with that?' line.
I just tried to do that, and realized, i don't see any ads because I run an ad blocker in my browser. Doh!

Depends on how the brick wall is constructed. If the car is going 62 mph, it might just go right thru the brick wall and not decelerate again.

Perhaps because the machines really do use x-rays, which are 'ionizing radiation', rather than microwaves like cell phones and wifi gear.
