Many of us the work for the US Gov't (Especially the military) can't even use IE 7... we're stuck using IE 6 because the webpages won't work on anything else... gotta love this shit.

I think what is being said is that 90% of people are morons or jerks. An SUV just makes you a bigger moron or jerk by a couple thousand pounds.
The whole helmet thing to me is retarded. I may not like the laws (the libertarian in me) but not wearing a helmet or wearing a novelty helmet is suicidal. The varying levels of protection offered by approved helmets is obvious, how much impact they have in a collision is not as much. But you are right sportbike riders tend to wear the real thing where as a good number of cruiser guys fake the funk.
"House Resolution 4279 is an affront to due process and intelligent discourse. Not only is there other grossly more important issues at hand for the federal government, but this is just one more place to waste resources in an effort to garner more lobbyist donations by propping up a failing industry that has failed to modernize its business model.
This does not begin to address the issues with the DMCA or the incorrect ideas about what constitutes theft (copyright violation is not theft as there is no deprivation of property), the inability of Congress to enact rational copyright laws, or appropriate penalties for copyright violations.
Once congress has resolved all the issues with famine, healthcare, education, energy and oil policy then Congress should feel free to address other less pressing issues. United States IP policies do nothing but hinder progress and remove the US as a leader in yet another industry.
As a life long Democrat I have never supported a Republican for any position in my 8 years of voter eligibility. Should you support this resolution in the Senate I will be forced to vote for your opponent and volunteer my services to their campaign."
That was my letter to my senators who currently are both Democrats.
Fair enough. Around here there are two types of riders. We have the smart riders, they tend to be older and ride cruisers. Then we have the stupid riders. They tend to ride sport bikes and are barely legal to drink.
To be fair I think handguns save lives and I should be allowed to shoot most of the dumb fucks driving on the roads no matter the number of wheels they're using.
Yes CA lets you split lanes. Most of us do so because getting hit by a car who can't stop makes for a very bad day. I would never consider splitting lanes at speed. Of course I ride a cruiser and not a race bike, two different mentalities of rider usually.
Don't lump all of us in there. Some of us use full face helmets, armored riding gear, and only ride two up at a stand still (the rest of the time it's staggered).
I also get 60 miles per gallon after rejetting the carb and opening up the exhaust (it was almost 70 before that). I can bring home groceries and run almost all errands on my bike. Leaving my gas guzzling van sitting in the driveway 6 or 7 days a week.
it's about time that people outside of schools are tapping this resource. I would have expected law students to have been tapped a long time ago, not only for this but in general by law firms since they have an expertise in the field in question largely due to having lived and grown with computers their entire lives.
One thing that EVERY person in this conversation about dirt clearing devices is forgetting are the recent developments in windshield wipers. Namely the wiperless kind...
If your primary use is for web and email then mobile broadband may be more useful assuming you have reliable cell service in all parts of your house.
If you like to download much of anything I think you would be better off with the landline service still.
You of course assume that she listens to the voices in her head. I think it rather more likely she ignores them the same as she ignores you and just listens to the sound of her own voice.
First things first. I hate IE in all of its incarnations at this point. I use Firefox and Opera.
That being said I am currently deployed doing IT support for the USMC, which is a sub-unit of the US Dept. of the Navy.
There are very significant portions of the governments web presence that do not work with any browser except IE6 in any way, shape, or form. I do not know how far it extends beyond the Dept of the Navy but I know it is not limited to it.
We cannot use IE7, FF, Opera, or any of the other browsers I have tried (this includes most of the major linux browsers) to access these sites.
IE6 may fall from use at home but it's not going anywhere soon in military sector...
The real bitch would be when the Antarctic ice melts. Arctic sea ice is floating and won't raise sea levels (It may fuck the ocean currents though). Antarctic ice is land based and when it melts would raise the sea levels and possibly fuck the ocean currents.
Think of the ocean as a glass of water. If you have a couple cubes floating on top the water level doesn't get higher when the ice melts. Now if you stack the ice to the bottom so it's stack above the water (not floating) then the water level will raise when it melts.
This is why I like slashdot. I get to feel like an idiot and learn something too. For the record I had previously checked the wiki for refutation of this and it wasn't there.
My mistake I thought my post was obviously a joke.
Seriously though I'm not sure yet since I don't know who is running. And I'm not going to be voting in the Michigan primary from here.
I'm actually hoping for a Obama ticket from the Dems. I have some reservations about Ron Paul I will be looking further into but I would love to see other real outsiders take the ticket.
Besides the desperate lack of formatting your point is the only reason I haven't rule Paul out.
Now that said I'm gunna cut my losses and take my beating like a bad little moron who doesn't get nearly enough time to do research yet (I'll have more in April when I get back to the states)
It wouldn't matter as much to me if his campaign didn't hem and haw over the issue. Take a stance (I prefer the it's their money let them contribute it where they see fit stance for this.) This makes him no better than the rest of the field to me and in some ways less palatable. I don't know who I will vote for yet, but I do not like any of the candidates.
As for pure political stance I AM closest to Ron Paul.

Thank you. It has been hard finding non partisan sources.
I'd certainly be willing to try out an Evil Secular Overlord for four years. It might be a nice change of pace.

Thank you I need a good laugh dealing such a frustrating topic.
