Project cars are wonderful. Depending on how far you want to go just having most of the pieces initially is enough even if they are in rough shape. With the right project car there can be a very large community and market so tinkering and getting what you want or need is easy. I have a MG midget that I am in the process of restoring and basically you can get every part ever made for them so part availability is a non issue. Add in the large number of vehicles with A-Series engines that weren't really developed much during their production and a healthy racing series for little British cars and you find that there are lots to hacks and improvements that can be made. Personally I am going for a lightened, better handling, supercharged, alcohol burner for mine.

Well if the SCOTUS ruled they were a cable company couldn't they just tell the lower District Court to eat it since what ever the SCOTUS is the final word on any legal matter?

Well I lost all faith with the ACA ruling where it was ruled not a tax (used to decide standing) and then in a different part of the same ruling a tax (to determine if it was constitutional). If you are for or against Obama Care it was just a bad ruling. At leas with other rulings there seemed to be some logical coherent reasoning even if most would agree the court created a bad ruling. Then again I am young enough to not have paid much attention to what the court has done until recent so maybe others have other examples of truly shitty legal theory like "Walks like a duck" or "it is not a tax and a tax at the same time" coming from the court.

It is enough to run Linux.

So you are saying we will all be frozen in a giant block of ice?

And by walls I assume you mean a single bullet will go through multiple walls.

Not everyone is in that boat. If there is a system outage with the systems I deal with it will make the news, sometimes even the national and international news. That problem wasn't with one of the systems I deal with or was provided by the company I work for but was a wake-up call to the industry.

Apart from the first question these are questions that should have been asked of every one of them about 4 weeks ago and the results published by the media.

My guess is that they are just getting better at spotting them. It isn't like they have been doing a bang up job on stopping things. Hell I have personally brought a number of prohibited things through security without attempting to conceal them any more than forgetting to empty pockets after hunting.

So like any number of regulations. The one I am most familiar with is NERC CIP which from what I can tell from practice means whatever the regulator thinks it means. I design for the most strict interpretation as that just prevents any future problems but that gets expensive and customers don't always want to pay.

Racist! [/sarcasm]

Some people just find it too difficult to believe that someone may disagree with the president not because of the color of his skin but because they have a different view on various policies. Then there are the people who just lack a sense of humor.

I always thought it was lobbyist pole.

Given how much stuff Dayton doesn't know or understand in bills he signed I'm not sure how dry he is, if he isn't drunk then he is very incompetent and should not be holding office. There was the seat license he didn't know about in the stadium bill, the various taxes he didn't know about in the last budget, the whole budget he shut down the state over because he didn't understand and then signed. Also add in that he has been on every side of most of the big issues including the minimum wage one where he believed that we may need to rethink some of the provisions he signed into law. Keep in mind that the Minnesota state governor has line item veto authority so if there are questionable provisions he could just veto them.

I would have preferred any of the other democrats running against him in the 2010 primary as they would have at leas known what the hell was going on but Dayton had the name recognition.
