Most who remember the TV show 6 million dollar man, that was footage of a DynaSoar's unsuccessful landing

Nope...that footage was of two experimental lifting-body aircraft from Northrop, the HL-10 and M2-F2. The crash footage was of the M2-F2. Earlier in the credits, the HL-10 is shown being dropped from a B-52.

There are already too many humans on this planet. We are a virus that is wiping out life and resources at a faster rate than they can be replenished.

If you really believe this nonsense, why haven't you done your part and killed yourself already?

Coward.

That's not how it works in America. Only citizens take that risk of actually being punished for a crime. Government agencies are free to do what they want...

...until we decide that they aren't, and take action to stop this abuse of the public trust.

I trim them and put them in a small pot, add water to cover and about 10 percent lemon juice to it, add some salt and a teaspoon of butter - bring to a boil, then cover and shut off the heat. wait 30 minutes.

Great fiber! I've passed some great slashdot articles that way :)

Frequently the bank forces the user to use exploitable means just to communicate with the bank.

IE6+ActiveX required, anyone?

If your bank requires you to use that steaming pile of fail, why haven't you left yet?

Wells Fargo used to throw up warnings when you used a browser they hadn't yet evaluated, but I think the rapid-release schedule taken by most browser vendors put a stop to that. Even then, it was just a warning...it didn't affect functionality.

If you told me someone was selling draft beer supplies (or whatever this crap is), my first assumption would be that it was for bars and taverns, not for home use. Thanks for taking time to point out the obvious.

I take it you don't know any homebrewers, then. Kegging is a hell of a lot easier than bottling. That said, the usual insurance against a keg running out is...wait for it...having a second keg on tap. Cheap and low-tech.
