It'd be easy to tilt the questions. Ask questions that are bullet-points for Focus on the Family (such as candidates' position on "family values") and you give that bloc more weight. Ask Sierra Club questions (position on environmental issues) and that bloc is favored. Ask trigger questions like abortion, gun control, immigration policy and you mainly get extremists on both sides who know these positions best.
It'd be nice to think you're selecting for interested, educated people without bias. I think it'd be difficult to maintain a bias-free question set.
I always thought that it should be sort of hard to register to vote. Take a written and driving test and have to renew every so often. But, there are problems with that approach too. My version of the test would be blatantly unfair, disqualifying any voter who thinks they talk with a diety that has opinions on political policy.
Whether or not you pass WGA, you still get critical security updates
Wrong. One of our other sites just got nailed by a trojan because some machines weren't updating because they had never installed WGA. I found this behaviour several months ago and ran windows update on the offending machines just to install WGA. (we use WSUS for updates) The machines mysteriously resumed updating after installing WGA. Fortunately I check the patch status of windows machines around here. Obviously our sister site didn't and got burned by MS withholding updates from a company that gives millions to microsoft every year.
Only joking. Seriously, is a G$ the same as a billion? or is it $1,073,741,824? Is it less if you keep your money on hard drives? If I have to hear that ridiculous term I want to know, damnit!
The FBI probably knows about proxies, and may have influence over ISPs. I'd be pretty surprised if they investigated from the official fbi.gov IP range.
Interesting. There must be something the Japanese are doing to keep MSG from making them fat.
I suspect that 1500 calorie meals with 100g of fat will make people fat whether or not there is MSG in it. I can't believe the numbers for most fast food places. 2200 calories 115g of fat in a burger king value meal!
It's odd that japanese and chinese restaurants have been forced to remove MSG from their food while processed foods still have lots of it. I know a japanese chef who spent years trying to make his food taste as good without MSG. He finally did it, but still uses MSG for cooking at home. He was pretty bitter about it, and believes that MSG is perfectly harmless in the amounts he uses. I'm glad it is being studied at any rate.
I don't know about your MSG theory. They have eaten lots of MSG in Japan for nearly a century and they don't have a weight problem. USians eat a lot of meat and processed foods, perhaps that is necessary.
You can't buy a noncrippled capture device. I had to buy a time base corrector so I could convert a few unreplacable VHS tapes to DVD. Those dvd/vhs decks won't copy protected dvd's onto VHS tape. They've crippled satellite radio devices to ban recording the signal.
I have a feeling that broadcast devices will be similarly crippled.
1. find article, any article, which is written in the English. 2. Go to babelfish or to the certain other place of transfer and transfer it into another language. 3. Now, transfer that back into English. 4. Infinite hours of fun, specially thus far vypivayushch.
This either piss iraqis more, or make thm to laugh above is so strongly that they they will stop to bomb.
Just in case you didn't know, plastic bags are much better for the environment than paper bags.
here is some info about energy needed to manufacture and recycle both types of bags.
Personally, I get more bags than I need somehow. Every time I shop I bring my own and get a nickel off for each bag. I seem to get about 5 uses out of each bag, and they come into my life a bit faster than they wear out.
My library already "lends" out heavily DRM'd e-books. You have to use stupid reader apps, and after 30 days you can't open it anymore. They pay a fee to the publisher every time somebody "checks out" an e-book.
Does my ad-blocking self contribute to anyone's business model? Sometimes I wonder if browsing some site I don't want to support helps them even if I don't see ads. If their numbers are better they can charge more for ads. I am making their numbers better. Of course, I am costing them a tiny bit for bandwidth etc. Oh yes, if everyone did it the whole system collapses.
Google has to pay its bills and replace broken servers anyway. Uncle Sam has to maintain our first world glory anyway. Selling $600 worth of software over the uberweb didn't mean google had to install a new server farm, nor did a new canal have to be dug.
Hundreds of people were arrested for simply belonging to the communist party or attending meetings. Much of the evidence was from people scared of the blacklist or jail who would fabricate testimony to satisfy their prosecutors.
You can tell it that the $20 bin is $5, making a $15 withdrawal give $60. Of course, the bank has your account information and will "adjust the error" or press charges.

1914 just called. It seems 1913 owes billions of dollars for an operator assisted long distance time travel call.

My friends don't have a theme song. What are "the Friends" of which you speak? Quakers? I don't know any Quakers.
My dad died from cancer recently. First, they cancelled his insurance. Then, they took his house. Now, they're threatening me to cover his debts.
Oh, and the hundreds of thousands he spent didn't help him.
I'm pretty pissed off at the US healthcare system right now.
$25 is twice better than $23.

I'm not ever drinking Superfund Merlot. Superfund Chardonnay, maybe. It's fun to say at least.

pfft. I bring my own booze into the theater. If I forget ice and mixers I'll buy a $4 drink and make cocktails in courtesy cups.

Plenty of folk are interested in banning on the beaches and the parks
There are entire cities that have banned smoking unless you own your own house. I guess some people are addicted to banning smoking.
Hundreds of people were arrested for simply belonging to the communist party or attending meetings. Much of the evidence was from people scared of the blacklist or jail who would fabricate testimony to satisfy their prosecutors.
Here is a good overview of the McCarthy era.
Possibly worse than prison was the blacklisting, which ruined many lives.
Hm. AOL must not have a very good search engine. All these searches for "cancel AOL" and none of them directed the user to anywhere in aol.com!
Retards. Why obscure your face when you're putting your own card in the machine?

They've had flying cars since the 50s.
