That's why REAL AMERICANS kill MILLIONS of turkeys every year by cruelly chopping off their heads, ripping out their entrails, pull all the feathers off the still twitching body, and quick freeze the resulting carcass for distribution to millions of REAL AMERICAN's homes so that each and every one of us can participate in disposing of the carcass.
Too bad we can't do that with all the deer around my neighborhood, but for some reason, most REAL AMERICANs think deer are cute, instead of viscious blood thirsty killers.
Why, did you know that in 2003, in Wisconsin alone, deers KILLED 13 americans, and wounded another 792 innocent REAL AMERICANS? (
Courtesey of the Wisonsin DOT)
You forgot to poison their wells, to salt their fields, kick their dog, and kill their sheep.
Just for completeness sake, after all.
One MUST be thourough about these things, since the idea isn't just to punish the evil-doer, but to convince their friends and neighbors not to commit the same sin too!
Actually, the Democrats WANTED Kerry to lose, since they didn't want the Democratic party to take the blame for the shit coming down in the next four years.
This way (With Bush winning) The Republicans take the fall, and Senator Clinton, who at that point will have become a RE-Elected Senator, can waltz right in to take the Presidency back for the following eight years.
Wow, I wish somebody would mod the parent poster up, as I had not yet seen the "Audio Authority 1154 HDTV Component Video Switcher" that he managed to find.
Could you, maybe, provide a link to one of those "magic" boxes? All I've ever seen (and I HAVE looked) are switch boxes for cable/s-video/Left,right,picture. I have yet to find one that does that with an HD signal (Either DVI, or 9 RCA jacks at a time) (9 jacks=3 picture jacks+6 jacks for my 5.1 stereo)
So, for various and assorted reasons, I have had to recently re-purchase the following items:
HDTV : 2 Antennas, 2 HDTV 3 color inputs, DVI in, 2 Video in, 7 (SEVEN) inputs total
Xbox : Video out OR HDTV Out
DVD Player : DVI out, HDTV 3 color out, Video out
GameCube : Video out
Digital HDTV Cable box : HDTV 3 color out
And I still had my 5.1 receiver.
Between all the weirdness hooking everything up, and then configuring EACH unit, I must have spent a good 4 to 6 hours beating on this system to get it to work (Not to mention that my receiver forgot it had all 6 speakers, and needed to be reconfigured as well!)
The AV Guys (TV/HDTV/DVD/Game Console makers) ALL need to come up with some sort of intelligent daisy chaining scheme. I mean, really, SCSI has worked for years, why can't they get it together for AV equipment. They can put a little push-button on the back of the equipment to select a priority number, and then when I decide to play on the GameCube, it would just automatically override whatever else I was watching, without having to make me select which stupid input I want.
Really, having a printout on the side of my TV to remind me which TV input to use for each device is just silly, and is one of many reasons why grandma and grandpa won't spend money on any of these new gadgets.
I just make up a RAR file of all the stuff I need archive until the end of time, and then name it something like "Deep Throat XXX deleted scenes, ULTRA-RARE (CSG_SD YYYY.MM.DD).RAR", where YYYY.MM.DD is the current year.month.day.
The way most downloaders are, they NEVER delete anything, even if it's totally bogus (Most don't even seen to check what they've downloaded)
Now, all my great grandkids need to know is that they need to look for my old clan nickname (CSG_SD), and they'll find photos and videos galore on whatever that generations P2P network is.
As far as I can tell, the rules say "5 people", but the rules do not say anything about have said people "Return alive from orbit", nor anything at all about them "being alive at launch time".
So, in theory (if not in spirit) you could win by shipping up 5 dead people.
MeThinks this is what happens when you write rules without a lawyer present.
Alaskan Independence Party -- Seeks referendum with choice of statehood, independence, commonwealth, or self-governing territory.
Alaskans for Independence
Free the Bear - California Secession and Independence
California Secessionist Party
The Republic of Cascadia -- Advocates independence for the Pacific Northwest from both America and Canada, with a libertarian and pro-business perspective.
Cascadian National Party -- Advocate secession of the present states of Washington and Oregon from the United States.
Cascadia Confederacy -- Advocates independence of the Pacific Northwest region from the U.S. and Canada, with an anti-nationalist and anti-capitalist perspective.
State of Jefferson -- The rich history surrounding the events leading to the State of Jefferson secession movement of 1941. The State of Jefferson lives on in the hearts and minds of many residents of northern California and southern Oregon today.
Hawai`i -- Independent & Sovereign -- Separatist movement of Hawaiian aboriginal people.
La Voz de Aztlan -- Separatist movement that seeks a reconquista (reconquest) by chicanos (ethnic hispanics of Aztec descent) of the Southwestern United States and creation of a new nation of Aztlan (legendary ancient homeland).
New England Confederation Movement -- Seek independence for New England states. Also see New Hampshire Chapter.

United People's Party (Partido Nacional La Raza Unida) -- Many of them seek to separate the part of the U.S. taken from Mexico from the U.S. and make it an independent Hispanic nation called Aztlan.
RedvsBlue is what you tell your friends and co-workers about in order to make them think that you're ahead of the curve in terms "hip and cool things". Except that RvB is Sooooo Last Year, but it's still funny.
Sorta like telling them about
I Love Bees except that everyone knows about I Love Bees now, and it's time to find something else to impress them with.
And no, I'm not telling what the latest thing is, you'll just have to find out about it from somebody else. (And it's not the Donkey, either. That's sooooo last month, it isn't even funny.)
Slashdot Mirror
- No such event - a mega tsunami - has occurred in either the Atlantic or Pacific oceans in recorded history. NONE.
I'd like to say, for the record...
He said recorded history.
Don't you think we'd all have bases on Mars if the LAST one hadn't of happened when it did?
Almost your idea....

Please let us know when your computer tells you to bring those guns to work for "show and tell".
Unfortunately, whatever day that will be is the day I have an off-site meeting. :-(
But let me know the day before, just in case.
Just remember, REAL AMERICANS HATE TURKEYS!!!

Noooooo....
That's what they WANT you to think.
Those are really the new and improved Mark III Ion Cannons which are disguised to look like mounting points for the emergency escape system.
I hate to say this, but somebody mod the parent post down.
It's not funny, it's just offensive to the memory of the kids at Kent State.
Next time, find another song to use, please.
I work at a cell-phone store...
Dude, you have my deepest sympathies. That's almost as bad as admitting that you work at Walmart!
Couldn't you have lied (like everyone else), and say "I have a friend who works at a cell-phone store"...

Cowboy Neal climbs MY walls!
Fine....
I tried not to...
I didn't want to....
But you just had to hold a bottle of scotch in front of the recovering alcoholic, didn't you?
Fine!
I, FOR ONE, WELCOME OUR NEW WALL CLIMBING ROBOT OVERLORDS!
And, BTW,
In Soviet Russia, the wall climbs YOU!
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these...
But does it run RedHat or SUSE?
And of course, Natalie Portman and Hot Grits!
There, I feel better now allready!
Can someone tell me where I can sign-up for the upcoming Civil War?

Isn't "I Love SCO" that web site that got hacked into by some rogue AI from Halo?
Oh, wait....
That was ILoveBees
