Driving in the right lane, 55 with a big smile waving the peace sign to everyone and being friendly.

190 million dollars for each fighter plane, think about that for a moment...

show that promiscuous mice are at higher risk of contracting disease, I wonder if the other mice were disease-free, what's the point of altering DNA if a mice gets ill and dies before passing on to other mice.

Of course they're going to back circumcision, most US doctors are of Jewish faith.

"Curiosity sent a picture down to us, and it looks a lot like Earth." "Curiosity sent a picture down to us, and it looks a lot like Arizona." "Curiosity sent a picture down to us, and it looks a lot like Utah."

Go back to where you came from :) Kidding, welcome to the US where everyone is either an immigrant or the descendent of one.. Have you tried Boost Mobile?

I recall the old days of EMS where a piece of software would double your memory by compressing/decompressing on the fly, whatever happened to those?

No need to blame anyone when they openly take credit.

Check out cpio under Linux or many Unix flavor OS, cpio can span backups over multiple target media. Make sure to test backup AND just as important: restore.
