The site is fake and does nothing other than tell you to use IE9. It determines your user agent and responds based on the result. It does not run any security tests against your browser. When I go the the site with IE9 I get a score of 4 of 4. When I go to it with Firefox 8 I get a 2 of 4 score. When I switch my user agent in Firefox 8 with the user agent switcher add-on to report I am using IE9 and go to the site using Firefox 8, I get a score of 4 of 4.

Put the individual rolls on ebay! People will pay to have a roll just as a souvenir. The smell of a roll in the little film can is as distict as Play-Doh or Crayola crayons and can bring back fond memories just as well.

Gosh, how would one go about finding that ... http://tinyurl.com/32xmf94

Canadian Military Changes Transgender Policy

"Under the new policy, Canadian soldiers are instructed to wear the uniform of their “target” gender, regardless of their biological sex. Military personnel are also instructed to give transgender soldier privacy and respect for their decision — for example, not asking reasons when a soldier changes his or her name on military records. "

Any votes on how long the policy lasts after someone 'transgendered' files a lawsuit requesting permission to live in the opposite-sex barracks and wear the opposite-sex uniform?

I gave a co-worker a can of Mountin Dew to write this comment for me.

Yes, but there are moving vehicle applications where a flat steerable phased-array is the superior solution compared to a movable motorized dish arrangement.

And on the opposite end of the spectrum, Russian is a swear-word rich language with the largest swear vocabulary of any language that I know of. Whereas English has its seven dirty words, Russian has entire dictionaries devoted to explaining all the swear words and phrases.

Did you even read your own citation? The Soviet copyrights did not cover performances of classical music which did not themselves carry a copyright. This includes all of the classical music under discussion here.

I thought there was an extensive library of high-quality copyright-free classical music recorded by Soviet, Eastern-bloc, and Chinese orchestras prior to 1989. None of those countries were Berne Convention signatories at the time and no copyright was ever claimed nor desired since they were "the people's" orchestras performing for the people. If I remember correctly, Muzak used to use Czech orchestral performances as they were copyright-free in the 70s and 80s. Why not use those recordings?

The solution is simple -- just tax each trade say one dollar per trade. It's not enough to bother the legitimate trades as all of them are for substantially more than a dollar each, usually thousands of dollars each. This would prohibit using the trading system to make a DOS attack on a competitor. Unless you are prepared to pay the tax.

Because it's not.

Judging by that story learning Morse code should be a requirement to purchase boat not to operate a radio.

No need to start one -- it already exists. Look up "Janism" and their Digambara monks. Senior monks wear no clothes and go around nude. "Digambara" means "clad in the sky" where the sky is your clothing. It's an old religion and is recognized as such by practically every official entity.
