A theory that uses modest data to predict climate change? That never stopped the "OMFG! The US is teh suk for not join Koyoto!!!!!!1111" from believing anything.
Actually, Harley-Davidson is still in the process of trademarking the sound. It hasn't "fallen through" although their first attempted did fail. A trademark is rarely granted the first time around (or so says the trademark/copyright lawyer that works at my company.
I went down to D.C. recently, and when I left on the plane, looking east, I couldn't tell where the ground ended and the sky began. It was a disgusting layer of brown that looked like it spanned five hundered meters in the air... probably more.
It wouldn't have anything to do with geography would it?
Go ask anyone who lives in inland Orange County, California. Those people have had the honor and the privilege of having all the smog blown from LA county over to their county.
Also, how about Mexico City? Think that having your entire huge ass city surrounded by mountains might contribute to you air pollution problems?
Funny how it is, generally speaking, the same group of people who berate the US for our dependence on mideast oil, while at the same time vehemently protesting any movement down any path that might actually allow us to realistically release ourselves from some of that dependence, e.g., new nuclear plan
Much of these same people also support firearm bans. So the group of people who demand the most change from their government shun the most powerful tool in bringing about that change.
If you lose your credit card and someone charges 10k on it, Visa doesn't make you pay it unless they find out you're defrauding them.
If someone steals you debit card and charges 10k of your money, Wells Fargo doesn't give your money back untill they prove you aren't defrauding them.
The rules are the same and you are at the same risk, but in one case Visa is out the money during the investagation and in the other you are out the money.
you wouldn't be writing code while drunk, would you?
I guess I have a habit of doing this. I can't remember doing it, but I find a comment in my code that says: "//Fix Later, too drunk." every couple of months.
Bush ignoring the August 6, 2001 Daily Briefing (more than a month before the attack) is one of the most ghastly mistakes in American history.
I remember my youth where I thought my president was the evilest thing that ever lived. Us old fogeys laugh at the kids who think Bush even breaks the halfway point on the evil scale.
I'm guessing you're about 19, because you sure as hell didn't live through Reagan.
How about the right to have something happen when the trigger is pulled?
If someone is trying to stab me to death, the firearm better operate when I want it to. To many things can go wrong as it is and most of the techonolgy is over a hundred years old.
You would rather we cut off Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East.... for what reason?
What reason? How about because I don't want a Palestinian blowing himself up in the US because he watched a tank (paid for with American dollars) mow down his house with his family still inside.
The only difference between the Israelis and Palestinians is the money Israel gets from the US. If we gave the PLO 3 billion a year they would roll their tanks into Tel Aviv and the Israelies would be blowing up buses on the West Bank.
P.S. Egypt currently isn't using its armed forces to murder people between its borders, so the amount of aid we give them is moot.
And yet, every day someone claims that every word out of a Christian's mouth is about their so-called complaints about religious persecution.
Christian Guy: Geez, these ants are really all over my trash can.
Athiest Guy: Fucking Christians! Always bitching about being picked on! YEEEEAAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!1
And PS: not sure about your hardon with "80%" but the amount of real (practicing) Christians is probably 20% and if 80% of the US couldn't drink the President would last about 15 minutes outside the Whitehouse. I'd put the number at around 5% of the US has restriction on booze.

Actually, thats like saying nobody uses oxygen to breathe.
The percentage of serious designers that use PS is probably above 95%.
Yeah yeah yeah, Windows sux0rs and all, but nowadays the screen is lime green and is common known to the industry as "green screen".
Or go buy a 10K movie set light and have it shine on your face when the alarm go off.
You'll be guaranteed to wake up, mostly likely with your hair on fire.
Yippee-kayay-motherfucker?
Yippee-kayay-mother-fooler!
Or, and I swear I'm not making this up:
Yippee-kayay-Mr-Falcon!
Since it's rained a whole bunch more in LA then in Seattle this year, you have to use LA as your "city where it rains a whole shit load".
NannyBot: Put down that marker! You have 20 seconds to comply.
Your kid drops the Sharpie he has been using to write on the hallway wall
NannyBot: Put down that Marker! You have 15 seconds to comply.
Your Kid: I did! It's on the ground. See?
NannyBot: Put down that Marker! You have 10 seconds to comply!

Yeah, I've lost a term paper here and there becasue my machine crahsed, but I think Bill needs to do much more I consider my life "destroyed".

And how the hell have you lived to be 30 without any form of goverment issued ID? Haven't you ever taken an airplane flight or opened a bank account?

Yep, I'm sure Boston agrees with you!
I find it great that the side with the loudest voice for revolution also votes to outlaw the only tool that will allow said revolution.
Someday the Left will learn that change comes from bullets not protest signs.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It dipped below 70F Monday here in Southern California.

I've had three drives in a row that fail to spin up after 12 months.

Not sure sure about Jersey, but in every state this has come up law enforcement gets an exception to the law.

That means this corporation is filed as a "tax-exempt organization".
