  1. I get to be Darth Vader... on George Lucas to Resurrect Dead Movie Stars? · · Score: 1

    This is the first step to any of us being the characters in a movie or game. Cool concept.

  3. Here's a clip on YouTube about the bill on House Passes Massive Medical Insurance Bill, 219-212 · · Score: 1

    Look, we are all smart enough to know that there are SOME things about our health care system that need to be addressed. However, a majority of Americans DO NOT WANT the government involved in our health care. Poll after poll shows us about 65 percent of Americans don't believe the government needs to be involved in health care. Do you realize that it will take LESS THAN 300 PEOPLE in Washington to pass a healthcare bill and make it law? The other 300 MILLION of us have to live with the rules pushed on us by these 300 Nanny politicians. In other words, regardless of the views of a majority of Americans, these 300 people will decide what is best for YOUR FAMILY. Here is a 10-minute clip on YouTube about the Healthcare bill (H.R. 3200). This is a point by point description in "non legal-speak" on the Government Healthcare plan taken from the actual proposed bill. I usually don't pass things like this around, but in this case I believe we have to know what is being agreed to by these 300 people behind closed doors. I know it may be tough to watch a 10-minute clip, but this is highly worth your time. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcBaSP31Be8 Unfortunately, our so-called "representatives" REFUSE to listen to us on this issue. You know the stories about them. If a plan like this does pass and it has the tragic effect that so many people expect, hopefully the American voter will vote these 300 politicians out of office in the next election. Most voters have a negative view of the federal government, but still continue voting for "their" incumbent locally. If YOUR "incumbent" is one of these 300, it is time to use your vote to send these Nanny politicians to the unemployment line. Hopefully, it isn't too late for the majority of us to make a difference! Please view the clip and pass it on.

    In my old spot ( a bank), we kept drinks cold under the raised floor, added a tuner card to a server and hijacked cable from the board room. We could view breaking news as needed and football games or whatever during system backups. Armed guards brought us all the coffee we could drink. No one could disturb our habitat without our written permission. Life was good.

  20. Re:Actual, serious question on Deja Vu Recreated in a Lab Setting · · Score: 1

    I've had this all my life and as I get older (now 48), it seems I can remember the dream more clearly and associate a time frame with it. It's almost precognition. In the most realistic life-like dreams, there is usually 1 or more items, people or situations which just "don't fit" and the deja vu usually ends just prior to the appearance the thing that doesn't fit. It's really pretty cool to say so and so is coming or the phone is about to ring and then have it happen within minutes. Anyway it used to be very creepy, but now I look forward to those times so I can gain more insight. And now for a joke. Bet you didn't see that comming...
