I see this all the time with photographers. Bottom line: your photographs are not all that valuable. Some are, yes. Most are not. Pare them down. Delete the bad ones, the failures, the misfocussed, the bad exposures. The greatest photographers the world has ever known are only known for a few dozen photos at best. Do you really need an 8 TB photographic archive? Who's going to ever look at them all? Save the best. Delete the rest.

Let me second this. I have an old LG Versa which is not a smart phone but does have HTML browsing. Activating it on PagePlus costs $10 for four months access for 100 minutes and 5 cents per text. You can top it up whenever you run up against the $10 limitt. And if your are very frugal, that $10 can last the whole four months. That's $2.50 a month. And it's on Verizon's network, so the service is rock-solid. Beat that.

And the extra weight of the additional water in the Atlantic Ocean won't push down on the expanding and deepening Atlantic Rift causing sea levels to stay the same? Why does this effect only work in one direction?

There were worldwide protests AGAINST our invasion.

The protests were so bad that almost none of our allies going into Afghanistan joined us in our Iraq invasion.

We sent 150,000 troops.
England sent 46,000 troops.
Australia sent 2,000 troops.

Everyone else sent a total of under 2,000 troops.

Talk is cheap.
Dead troops are expensive.
No one else believed the talk enough to risk the political expense of dead troops.

US population 307,006,550 and at 150,000 troops sent, 1 soldier sent for every 2,027 residents.
UK population 62,218,761 and at 46,000 troops sent, 1 soldier sent for every 1,353 residents.
Australia population 22,328,800 and at 2,000 troops sent, 1 soldier sent for every 11,164 residents.

Looks to me like the UK supported the war even more than the US did using your figures.

I hear you. Last time I had a problem with my FiOS, when the tech showed up rather than waste time going thru my stuff, I took him outside and plugged a laptop directly into the ONT and showed him how bad the connection was right there. He traced the problem back upstream from the ONT and said a connection on the buried fiber optic line had come loose and gotten mud in it. When he opened it water and mud came pouring out. He cleaned the connection, reconnected it, and put silicone wrap around it. Problem fixed.

However, in this case the quote is disputed because it is completely spurious.

While it's not a warrantless wiretap, it could be a warrantless pen register.

Burke: "Look, those two specimens are worth millions to the bioweapons division. Now, if you're smart, we can both come out of it as heroes and we'll be set up for life."
Ripley: "You're crazy Burke, you know that? You really think that you can get a dangerous organism like that past ICC quarantine?"
Burke: "How can they impound it if they don't know about it?"

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

Not so fast:

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?
