Wouldnt' any bill allow for exceptions like the use of pretexting for criminal investigations?
You don't need pretexting for criminal investigations. You need a search warrant. I explicitly distrust anyone who lobbies for this kind of cloak and dagger crap.
It's ABS, not PVC. And the cost of the raw material is one of the least expensive contributors to the price, particularly for one-sey two-sey (or 30-sey) spare parts. Really what you are paying for is the premium ALL manufacturers place on spare parts. Do you have any idea how much a Hyundai would cost if you bought it one part at a time? Or a TV? Manufacturers charge a lot for these items in part because it is a non-standard method for selling them, the volumes are much smaller than for their normal product, and because they can.
First set realistic tolerances. Use with good quality raw material. Use good quality tooling. Use well trained, alert, and competent employees. Have quality control verify that everything is according to Hoyle. And most important: ELIMINATE EVERYTHING ELSE. If QC is finding bad parts, there is either something wrong with the material or something wrong with the tooling or (most likely) some unnecessary thing gumming up the works.
I call bullshit. Newt has about as much a chance of successfully running for president as Dean. Sure he has great ideas, and can raise funds, and motivate the base, and all that. But he inspires too many bad associations with the moderates and independents. He would be better served staying behind the scenes rather than running for national office.
Wow! Both Sony and Nintendo are coming out with new consoles? I had no idea. Ooooooo, and the article has all their specs too. Thank goodness I have been paying careful attention to slashdot, otherwise I would have missed this.
I agree. This is my biggest peeve with the IT industry. Its like the old joke about janitors being reclassified as "sanitation engineers". "Architect" is becoming popular and is almost as bad.
Tabbed browsing largely negates this. It takes me more than 4 seconds to digest any given page, so even if I am looking at only one slow site, I can still flip back and forth between two tabs, reading the one while the other loads.
I disagree that it is unambiguous. yyyy-mm-dd can be easily mistaken for yyyy-dd-mm prior to the 12th of any month.
I agree that it makes date sorting very easy.
I wish I had held on to the guy's name, but I was too disgusted. I gave him my resume and heard nothing for three years. What was the first words out of his mouth? "So, are you still looking for a job?"

I know I should not feed the troll, but I hate seeing people use the incorrect plural of penis.
But some terrorists are not interested in flying the plane. They want to crash it.

Just the sort of comment we can expect from a Godwin's-law-nazi like you.

A Trill and an Augment can mate...
You forgot Final Fantasy.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of those!

But isn't obscurity the most profound failure?
What is this? TV Guide? Game journalism is bad. TV journalism is worse. TV game journalism is horrible.

And a fat lot of good its going to do him in the car.
I think he was referring to BF2142

Relying on reverse psychology to add positive mods to a mediocre and inflammatory post. Pretty amazing how many people fall for it.

I always use ddMMMyyyy, where MMM are the first three letters of the month's name. So today would be 02NOV2006.
My cell phone is off by 42 minutes. I have yet to figure out how that works. It makes calls just fine. Just can't tell time.
So scary!
Actually you have almost two months... 31oct = 25dec
