In the United States Freedom of Speech has
been stretched this FAR since the Supreme
Court ruled on Playboy.

This is when my country went to h**l.I was
only a child in the 1950's.

Bill of Rights
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

You see I don't BELIEVE the above right to speech was meant go go where
our Supreme Court went.

I think it meant you could (verbalize an opinion) without being bothered by
government officials.Anyway if anyone still thinks an anti-Christ could be
among us see Hugh Hefner.

Yes, we have people doing interpretations of the bible and the
United States Constitution.

Find a place where it is actually written in the US Constitution

He is one of those "strict' Constitutionists who thinks the money (US Dollar) is not worth the paper its written on...

Solve : Interesting Court Case Shame we don't have Politicos?

Answer»

Good day to you Chris.-->
COL! Sorry about clicking on your head so much today.




US law: OhBwahahaha! I may get an ABRAMS...

You can have a cannon,fighter jet,nuclear warhead ect..but, not a sawed
off shotgun....... ???See below.
Notice this quote:Certainly it is not within judicial notice that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment.


In UNITED States v. Miller,4 the Court sustained a statute requiring registration under the National Firearms Act of sawed-off shotguns. After reciting the original provisions of the Constitution dealing with the militia, the Court observed that ''[w]ith obvious purpose to assure the continuation and render possible the effectiveness of such forces the declaration and guarantee of the Second Amendment were made. It must be interpreted with that end in view.''5 The significance of the militia, the Court continued, was that it was composed of ''civilians primarily, soldiers on occasion.'' It was upon this force that the States could rely for defense and SECURING of the laws, on a force that ''comprised all males physically capable of acting in concert for the COMMON defense,'' who, ''when called for service . . . were expected to appear bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time.''6 Therefore, ''n the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a 'shotgun having a BARREL of less than 18 inches in length' at this time has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well- regulated militia, we cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument. Certainly it is not within judicial notice that this weapon is any part of the ordinary military equipment or that its use could contribute to the common defense.''7

Well, this may be old news to most of you (but I've never heard of it): Link.

That site links to this one, which comes this final site. Notice in the last link how it suddenly CUTS off before telling us how the hackers did it? That's because someone must've modified it after it was posted, because both the previous links contain the code.

Sheer coincidence, or some deep, hidden cover-up........? You decide.

Answer»

Good old 'Little Billy'


Little Billy's STORY

One day at the end of class, little Billy's teacher has the class go HOME and think of a story and then conclude the moral of that story...

The following day the teacher asks for the first volunteer to tell their story.

Suzy raises her hand...,"My Daddy owns a farm and every Sunday we load the chicken eggs on the truck and drive into town to sell them at the market.Well one Sunday we hit a big bump and all the eggs flew out of the basket and onto the road."
The teacher asks for the moral of the story...
Suzy replies, "Don't keep all your eggs in one basket."
"Well done, Suzy. Now who wants to go next?" Asks the teacher.

Lucy quickly raises her hand. "Well, my Dad owns a farm too and every weekend we take the chicken eggs and put them in the incubator. Last weekend, only 8 of the 12 eggs hatched."

"And the moral?"
Lucy replies, "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched."
"Excellent, Lucy. Who's next?"

Billy jumps up. "My grandad fought in the Vietnam War, his plane was shot down over enemy territory. He was able to jump out before it crashed with only a case of beer, a machine gun and a machete. On the way down, he drank the whole case of beer. Unfortunately, he landed right in the middle of 100 Vietnamese soldiers. He shot 70 with his machine gun until he ran out of bullets. Then, he PULLED out his machete and killed 20 more. But, the blade on his machete broke, so he killed the last ten with his bare hands."

The teacher looks at Billy with a shocked expression, "My goodness Billy.
Can there possibly be a moral to this story?"
Billy replies, "Yeh...Don't f**k with grandad when he's pi$$ed off."

Nobby's is Australia's largest producer of pre-packaged nuts. Crisps are also sold under the Nobby's brand. The company is owned by The Smith's Snackfood Company. Nobby's products are typically sold in supermarkets as well as pubs.

In the early 2000s their products also started to appear in the UK. They are manufactured there by Walkers under licence, but they have kept all references to this off of the packaging.

Nobby's famous sexually suggestive marketing campaign is "Nibble Nobby's Nuts". In the UK, this advertising campaign featured glam-rock group Slade's lead SINGER Noddy Holder shouting "NOT NODDY, NOBBY!", after a crowd ASSEMBLE to attempt to 'nibble' Noddy's 'nuts'.

Solve : I must share this joke*?

Answer»

Two rednecks are out hunting, and as they are walking along they come upon a huge hole in the GROUND. They approach it and are amazed by the size of it. The first hunter says " WOW, that's some hole, I can't even see the bottom, I wonder how deep it is?" The second hunter says" I don't KNOW, let's throw something down and listen and see how long it takes to hit bottom."

The first hunter says " There's this old transmission here, GIVE me a hand and we'll throw it in and see". So they pick it up and carry it over, and count one, and two and three, and throw it in the hole. They are standing there listening and looking over the edge and they hear a rustling in the brush behind them. As they turn around they see a goat come crashing through the brush, run up to the hole, and jump in headfirst. While they are standing there looking at each other, looking in the hole, and trying to figure out what that was all about, an old farmer walks up.

"Say there", says the farmer, "you fellers didn't happen to see my goat around here anywhere, did you?"


The first hunter says " Funny you should ask, but we were just standing here a minute ago and a goat came running out of the bushes and jumped headfirst into this hole here!"

And the old farmer said " Why that's impossible, I had him chained to a transmission!"And the old farmer said " Why that's impossible, I had him chained to a transmission!"

Solve : Blind Woman Hits Historic Hole-In-One?

Answer»

Extremely impressive..

Sheila Drummond didn't need to see her hole-in-one. She heard it.

Drummond, blinded by diabetes 26 years ago, EXPERIENCED the highlight of her golfing career Sunday, recording an ace on the 144-yard, par-3 fourth hole at Mahoning Valley Country Club.

Playing with her husband and coach, Keith, and two friends in a steady rain, the 53-year-old Drummond hit a driver on the hole. The shot CLEARED a water hazard, FLEW between traps and landed on the green, where it hit the flagstick before dropping into the hole.

LinkIf you can do that 18 times in a row....You can actually beat
the game of golf.Heh. Good luck with that since many golf courses have at least one par 5 or greater, which I would think would be impossible to get a hole in one. Although I am curious what the most holes in one anyone has ever hit. I did happen to find an article of an 82 year-old WOMAN hitting two holes in one, but couldn't see anyone hitting more than two holes in one in a single game.Which is my point.Golf is such a challenging game

Solve : Flamethrower now an option on S. African cars?

Answer»

I used to live in Joburg, i am might go back just to get one of these babys

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (CNN) -- Crime-obsessed South Africans have a powerful new weapon with which to stop likely criminals: the car flamethrower.



Casting a man-high fireball, reportedly with no damage to the paint, the Blaster has been placed on 25 South African vehicles since its introduction last month.

At 3,900 rand ($655), it offers a cheap, dramatic defense against carjackers. It has yet to be deemed illegal.

South African courts allow killing if convinced that it's in self-defense. The defense is not unheard of. In last year's 13,000 carjackings, criminals OFTEN brandished weapons or used them with little provocation.

The Blaster squirts liquefied gas from a bottle in the automobile's trunk through two nozzles, LOCATED under the front doors. The gas is then ignited by an electric spark, with fiery consequences.

Both sides flame at the same time, regardless of whether the attack is coming from just one side of the vehicle, or whether passersby are on the other side. But the breadth and depth of blast can be modified according to individual preference.

Fire blinds, not kills, maker assures
Blaster inventor Charl Fourie, 33, disputed concerns that the flamethrower could burn someone to death.

"My personal feeling is that it would definitely blind a person. He will never see again," he said

Firefighters, medical personnel and the police agree 100 percent "that it will never kill a person," Fourie asserted. "This is definitely non-lethal.... A person is not going to stand there for a minute while you roast him. It will fend off the attacker, and that's the end of it."

Fourie has filed an international patent application. He anticipates thousands of orders nationally and from abroad. "The demand is huge," he said.

First customer a Johannesburg police official
The first buyer, Police Superintendent David Walkley of Johannesburg's crime INTELLIGENCE unit, is satisfied the Blaster is legal, provided it is used correctly.

Solve : Tar and feather attack 'barbaric'?

Answer»

Tar and feather attack 'barbaric'

The attack is believed to have been carried out by two men
Police have described as "brutal and barbaric" an attack on a man who was tarred and feathered in south Belfast.
It is thought the attack was carried out on Sunday evening by two men wearing balaclavas, as a crowd including women and children looked on.



The victim was made to wear a placard READING "I'm a drug-dealing scumbag".

Elements of the UDA were blamed for the attack by politicians, although its political wing denied the loyalist paramilitary group was responsible.

Frankie Gallagher of the Ulster Political Research Group said "local people had gone to the UDA to ask them to sort it out", but that it told them to go to the police.



He CLAIMS that the police then failed to act on information passed on and that people in the area decided to take the matter into their own hands.

In a statement, the police said there was "no place in civilised society for people taking the law into their own hands resulting in such a brutal and barbaric attack".

"We have been working closely with local community groups to try and address these issues and find solutions.

"If people have concerns and grievances about what is happening in their local community they should bring that evidence to the police."

Despite denials from the UPRG, most people will find it very hard to believe that the UDA was not involved in this despicable act

David Ford
Alliance Party
Although the police were made aware of the incident at Finwood Park in Taughmonagh, by the time officers arrived in the loyalist estate, neither the victim nor his attackers could be found.

Alliance leader David Ford said: "Despite denials from the UPRG, most people will find it very hard to believe that the UDA was not involved in this despicable act."

'Thuggery and violence'

Northern Ireland's Social Development Margaret Ritchie warned that UDA involvement would have serious repercussions for government funding of a loyalist project.

"If the UDA is involved, it is a stark demonstration of the thuggery and violence which I made clear has to end if the funding to the CTI (Conflict Transformation Initiative) project is to continue," said the SDLP assembly member.

Ms Ritchie's direct rule predecessor initiated the £1.2m scheme which aimed to encourage redevelopment in loyalist communities through the UDA-aligned UPRG.

Earlier this month, Ms Ritchie said she would withdraw support from the project UNLESS there was clear evidence of DECOMMISSIONING and reduced criminality.

A New Development...

Huh. That's pretty interesting -- 1 billion light years across of nothing. Makes my head scratch too how something like that would be even possible, it's almost like it's a section of space that's still under construction.The announcement was held back because they were collectively perplexed...at first they assumed a Black Hole...would have been the largest to date.
But there were no nearby collapsing galaxies to support this theory.
2nd theory was it was the largest collection of DARK Matter...that theory disappeared when they discovered it had no radio signature which Dark Matter does...

I think it's fascinating.Indeed.I love outer space, it's so facinating. Only today did I read that now there are officially 8 planets and 3 dwarf planets in our solar system. So much for Pluto....New 'super-Earth' found in space

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6589157.stm

Astronomers have found the most Earth-like planet outside our Solar System to date, a world which could have water running on its surface.

The planet orbits the faint star Gliese 581, which is 20.5 light-years away in the constellation Libra.

Scientists made the discovery using the Eso 3.6m Telescope in Chile.

They say the benign temperatures on the planet mean any water there could exist in liquid form, and this raises the chances it could also harbour life.

"We have estimated that the mean temperature of this 'super-Earth' lies between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius, and water would thus be liquid," explained Stephane Udry of the Geneva Observatory, lead author of the scientific paper reporting the result.

Moreover, its radius should be only 1.5 times the Earth's radius, and models predict that the planet should be either rocky - like our Earth - or covered with oceans."

Xavier Delfosse, a member of the team from Grenoble University, added: "Liquid water is critical to life as we know it."

He believes the planet may now become a very important target for future space missions dedicated to the search for extra-terrestrial life.

These missions will put telescopes in space that can discern the tell-tale light "signatures" that might be associated with biological processes.

The observatories would seek to identify trace atmospheric gases such as methane, and even markers for chlorophyll, the pigment in Earth plants that plays a critical role in photosynthesis.

'Indirect' detection

The exoplanet - as astronomers call planets around a star other than the Sun - is the smallest yet found, and has been given the designation Gliese 581 C.

It completes a full orbit of its parent star in just 13 days.



Indeed, it is 14 times closer to its star than the Earth is to our Sun.

However, given that the host star is smaller and COLDER than the Sun - and thus less luminous - the planet nevertheless lies in the "habitable zone", the region around a star where water could be liquid.

Gliese 581 c was identified at the European Southern Observatory (Eso) facility at La Silla in the Atacama Desert.

To make their discovery, researchers used a very sensitive instrument that can measure tiny changes in the velocity of a star as it experiences the gravitational tug of a nearby planet.

Astronomers are stuck with such indirect methods of detection because current telescope technology struggles to image very distant and faint objects - especially when they orbit close to the glare of a star.

The Gliese 581 system has now yielded three planets: the new super-Earth, a 15 Earth-mass planet (Gliese 581 b) orbiting even closer to the parent star, and an eight Earth-mass planet that lies further out (Gliese 581 d).

The LATEST discovery has created TREMENDOUS excitement among scientists.

Of the more than 200 exoplanets so far discovered, a great many are Jupiter-like gas giants that experience blazing temperatures because they orbit close in to much hotter stars..... Continued on the above web site

I am working on a network PC. all PCs in our institute are USB disable. but some how i managed my PC to be enable for USB support.

A FARMER is standing on one bank of a river, with a fox, a chicken, and a bag of grain. He needs to get to the other side of the river, taking the fox, the chicken, and the grain with him.

However, the boat used to cross the river is only large enough to carry the farmer and one of the things he needs to take with him, so he will need to make several trips in order to get EVERYTHING across.

In ADDITION, he cannot leave the fox unattended with the chicken, or else the fox will eat the chicken; and he cannot leave the chicken unattended with the grain, or else the chicken will eat the grain. The fox is not particularly partial to grain, and may be left alone with it.

How can he get everything across the river without anything being eaten?

Man floats 193 miles using chair, balloons
OREGON resident fulfills childhood dream with 105 helium balloons
( The picture -see link below is really awesome ! )

Updated: 3:19 p.m. ET July 10, 2007

BEND, Ore. - Last weekend, Kent Couch settled down in his lawn chair with some snacks — and a parachute. Attached to his lawn chair were 105 large helium balloons.

Destination: IDAHO.

With instruments to measure his altitude and speed, a global positioning SYSTEM device in his pocket, and about four plastic bags holding five gallons of water each to act as ballast — he could turn a spigot, RELEASE water and rise — Couch headed into the Oregon sky.

Nearly nine hours later, the 47-year-old gas station owner came back to earth in a farmer’s field near Union, short of Idaho but about 193 miles from home.

“When you’re a little kid and you’re holding a helium balloon, it has to cross your mind,” Couch told the Bend Bulletin.

“When you’re laying in the grass on a summer day, and you see the clouds, you wish you could jump on them,” he said. “This is as close as you can come to jumping on them. It’s just like that.”

Couch is the latest American to emulate Larry Walters — who in 1982 rose three miles above Los Angeles in a lawn chair lifted by balloons. Walters had surprised an airline pilot, who radioed the control tower that he had just passed a guy in a lawn chair. Walters paid a $1,500 penalty for violating air traffic rules.

It was Couch’s second flight.

'It was beautiful'
In September, he got off the ground for six hours. Like Walters, he used a BB gun to pop the balloons, but he went into a rapid descent and eventually parachuted to safety.

This time, he was better prepared. The balloons had a new configuration, so it was easier to reach up and release a bit of helium instead of simply cutting off a balloon.

He took off at 6:06 a.m. Saturday after kissing his wife, Susan, goodbye and petting his Chihuahua, Isabella. As he made about 25 miles an hour, a three-car caravan filled with friends, family and the dog followed him from below.

Couch said he could hear cattle and children, and he said he even passed through clouds.

“It was beautiful — beautiful,” he told KTVZ-TV. He described the flight as mostly peaceful and serene, with occasional turbulence, like a hot-air balloon ride sitting down.

'Fulfilled his dream'
Couch decided to stop when he was down to a gallon of water and just eight pounds of ballast. Concerned about the rugged terrain outside La Grande, including Hells Canyon, he decided it was time to land.

He popped enough balloons to set the CRAFT down, although he suffered rope burns. But after he jumped out, the wind grabbed his chair, with his video recorder, and the remaining balloons and swept them away. He’s hoping to get them back some day.

Brandon Wilcox, owner of Professional Air, which charters and maintains planes at the Bend airport, said Thursday that Couch definitely did it. Wilcox said he flew a plane nearby while Couch traveled, and a passenger videotaped the flying lawn chair.

Whether Couch will take a third trip is up to his wife, and Susan Couch said she’s thinking about saying no. But she said she was willing to go along with last weekend’s trip.

“I know he’d be thinking about it more and more, it would always be on his mind,” she said. “This way, at least he’s fulfilled his dream.”

I'm a slave to the spelling! i thought he was just making a comical remark directed at george bush's accent with that ''spelling error'' QUOTE from: Dilbert on July 08, 2007, 10:37:58 PM

I'm a slave to the spelling!
Not always a bad thingAs far as the Iraqi war goes the below is what changed it all.
This is how the WMD's had time to be moved dispersed, or
destroyed.


The Big Change In Events,

In January 2003, the division primed itself for Operation Iraqi Freedom. Big RED One soldiers formed Headquarters, Armed Forces-Turkey and prepared the way for the 4th Infantry Division to enter Iraq through Turkey. When the Turkish Government denied access through their border, ARFOR-T collapsed the lines of communication it had built and the 4th ID deployed to Iraq via Kuwait.

So,What happened to -->'Iraq and are troops' <--d****t! I liked the title
of the original post.

Solve : Do you have problem remembering username and password??

Answer»

and then the keyboard breaks and you have to take out the CMOS battery... That's not completely true...

It may be, if you forget your login to Windows password, however...that's one password I have a tendency to remember...and will NEVER forget.

If the reader breaks...I simply type in the password. If the keyboard breaks...I just grab another keyboard and type in the password.
if the password is forgotten and the keyboard breaks?
and the battery implodes?
then what?
lol probably time for a new MOBO >.
We can always count on you...always the "optimist".too right
you spelt it wrong though.. How about if the fingerprint reader goes belly-up?
happened to me and I had a nightmare trying to log in, the security to prevent people disabling it worked against me.
The fact that I was able to remove the fingerprint check is both good and bad - good, if I hadn't been able to I would not be able to use my PC - bad, a thief could do the same.I'm the only user on my computer...

The only password I have to remember is my Windows login.

If the reader goes "belly-up", I can still log into Windows. From there, I can uninstall the software that came with the reader....thus disabling the reader.

If I were to allow anyone else to use the computer, the reader would work for them as well, however, the other USERS would be setup with Limited accounts...so there is no reason to program the reader in order to prevent anyone from changing its settings. They can't.

If it happens to take a dump...no PROBLEM...I still KNOW my pasword and can bypass the reader at anytime by simply typing in the appropriate USERNAME and/or password.

I just replace the reader.I guess I just had a cheap reader then . . . no simple way to bypass it to log on with a password, as it replaced the Windows login screen.
Uninstalling the software required a fingerprint too, which was why it was so hard to remove when it wouldn't recognize my prints.DigitalPersona Password Manager is the software that came with the reader. Great program.

Solve : Broken computers what do you have??

Answer»

How many of you are like me with a ton of broken and unused parts, so far the tally is 3 broken laptops, 3 broken computers. Now the laptops are assorted busted like a screen on two of them and a videocard out on a decent alienware laptop, the desktops that are broken my media center is b0rked vista died on it so TIME for a reinstall already My linux box keeps getting parts stolen from it so its not really broken just not assembled and then my main system with its random BSOD's in vista I consider that broken also.

For parts I have a closet full of parts spare hd's a bag full of ram old MOTHERBOARDS processors that i don't use anymore i have at least 6 cases between the garage my closet and the basement

So how much junk do you have laying around either waiting to get fixed or just saving for a later project?I cant say that I really keep a bunch of broken junk, but I do sit and collect my computers... even when 4MHz is more outdated than imagined...

I have 13 computers...

A list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Zylstra555I probably have 5 computers including the old compaq EN

I torture now and again.i remade the frankenstein story with parts from my old atari 7600 (something like that) , mega drive, ps1, and xbox. unfortunately, it didn't work until i took the xbox parts out... *censored* microsoft copyright nazis >.< I have no broken PCs, unless you count my laptop which is in the process of being fixed.
I am looking into acquiring several other PCs, which will soon be broken (lots of tinkering - that's what a cheap one's for) you butcher!!! I have an old Tochiba TECRA notebook and the only part I use is the DVD-reader.
But it the BIOS of my sisters Dell won't accept it . But it works if you put it in after the BIOS is loaded.

Jonas maybe you need to use a hammer? that USUALLY makes things like that work for me...Don't have any broken computers, although the oldest one, a 200MHz Pentium, rarely gets used anymore. Now, parts, yes, I have some parts here and there, including two CRT monitors not being used and a non-working Canon BJC-2000 printer. I got rid of some stuff during a local computer recycling drive in May of this year.

I'm thinking about offering some money to someone for a computer that's not working. It has an AMD Athlon XP 2200 CPU and an 80 GB HD and Windows XP Home. I know the history behind it and I'm fairly sure it just needs a power supply.

By the way, perhaps this topic could have been posted in the Other forum; seems to me it's not really Off-Topic.No broken computers, per se, but I have an E-Machine. It's not dead yet, but it's dying a long, slow death. You all know what all I've replaced on it by now, and... add a monitor to the list. 4-5 broken / inoperable computers. Sometimes I need to sacrifice computers for computers I need with failed parts or to temporarily upgrade a computer (e.g. swapping out memory).

Solve : Cake in the face?

Answer»

Against my better judgment I watched a television program in which the bride and groom, at their wedding reception, pushed a piece of their wedding cake into each others face. Is this an accepted part of an American wedding reception, is there a RELIGIOUS aspect and is it accepted practice in countries other than the U.S. of A. Is there a 'hidden' meaning to the act or is it just a bit of fun and did you do this to your spouse at your wedding reception

Maybe I've led such a sheltered life that I've never seen this at any wedding reception I've attended. I wouldn't call it a tradition at all.
And I also wouldn't call it extremely COMMON, or popular among the US CULTURE.

It was just TV drama it's a bit of fun called "Budweiser Brave" Quote from: honvetops on July 06, 2007, 03:54:27 AM

it's a bit of fun called "Budweiser Brave"
How about "One Too Many"maybe this was just a good old case of helminthophobia..What's a wedding reception ? Folks round here just go to
the justice of the peace.

It could have been that phobia too. Wedding reception is like the celebration after a wedding.

Sometimes, if a couple goes to... say... Las Vegas for a wedding, they might come back to their general area, say... New York and have a reception so that their family around that area can be a part of it.

Sometimes, receptions follow directly after a wedding... like a party

More information:
# a reception for wedding guests held after the wedding
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

# A wedding reception is a party held after the completion of a marriage ceremony. Some sort of post-marriage party is traditional in most societies around the world, but with considerable variety on the details.

Perhaps it's not a tradition, but I'd say it's FAIRLY common. I've seen it happen at several weddings. Of course, it's usually done after the reception.Gamophobia- Fear of marriage.

Choke partner to death with cake...Fear over. wow... at least your phobia was related to the topic..
mine wasn't >.<
Helminthophobia- Fear of being infested with worms.Also during the days of the Roman empire, wedding cakes were baked of wheat or barley. At the reception, they were traditionally broken over the head of the new Bride by the Groom as a symbol of her fertility. Guests would then scramble for pieces of the cake, and take them home for good luck. It later became a tradition to place many small cakes on TOP of each other as high as possible. The newlyweds would then try to exchange a kiss over the top of the tower of cakes without knocking them down. During the reign of King Charles II of England, the baker added icing, and the modern style of wedding cake was born. It is unclear when the tradition of the newlyweds smashing wedding cake into each other's face first began, and uncertain if such marriages are consummated later that day or evening!
