This is your daughter's education that you're messing with, not another opportunity to evangelize Linux or force it into a place where it's not yet welcome.

Just get her a Macbook, top off her debit card from time to time, and STFU so she can be a successful student.

...well, don't believe him. But check out his sources. The ground based version is almost certainly being used as an anti-personnel weapon already.

August of 2008 a similar report was released.

There has also been a lot of chatter that Iraqi insurgents have already fallen victim to the ATL and fear it.

I had a Pro account with Flickr but I had some other issues with Flickr that caused me to allow it to lapse. In the meantime I've been checking out other sites, and the one that seems most Flickr-like without the culture of censorship running it behind the scenes is iPernity.

If you're in the US, due to currency exchange rates their equivalent of a Pro account costs a bit more but it's still pretty reasonable.

Ethernet is not always best. Ring topologies have inherent advantages in environments like this that should not be overlooked. Ethernet caught on in large part because of vendors catering to a dumbed-down market.

It has ELECTROLYTES and makes you FLY REALLY FAST! You'll also WIN at things you're not even supposed to WIN at like BUZZING! BRAWNDO will make you WIN AT BUZZING!

I went to Disneyworld in 1984 with my parents, where I got a Pirates of the Carribean toy pistol. I had it in my carry-on bag and was stopped at the gate. The toy had to be surrendered before I could board the plane. The TSA sucks and should be eliminated, but please, let's not pretend that this is unusual or new.

Warzone 2100. I just saved you a bunch of $$. You'll love this game.

Where in the Constitution does the Federal government derive the authority to require & provide universal health care for citizens of the 50 states?

The analog TV works fine with my digital tuner box. The other analog TV works fine with my MythTV. I'm not worried.

I don't own a Blu Ray player. I briefly owned an HDTV but went back to the old analog TV. Sorry, but I'm opting out. The digital entertainment revolution today isn't selling anything that I'm buying. If that means I miss out on things, so be it.

When it was easy to back up a DVD, I legitimately purchased over 600 movies. As the copy protections became increasingly difficult to work around, I simply stopped buying. Hollywood stopped getting my money. I took all that money that I was spending on DVD's and bought a motorcycle instead. Now instead of sitting on the couch wasting 90-120 minutes of my life at a time, I'm spending that time enjoying getting around (rain or shine) like never before.

It's been a year since I ditched the HDTV and maybe 2 years since I stopped buying DVD's. I don't miss it.

Don't like the terms they are giving you? OPT OUT!

The best ad for the Ford Fiesta ever.

You must be the same people who defend Obama over everything stupid he's done because the fantasy of him is the focal point for you

No, I was the guy at the Raleigh Tax Day Tea Party protest calling for secession and getting armed. Not sure how you could confuse me with a progressive statist.

Before the market realizes the dilution of the dollar's value from Mr. Obama's previous "visions" (we call them "hallucinations" here), he's going to keep printing and spending Federal Reserve Notes with wild abandon on things we don't even need.

Millions of people will have money taken from them to fund a train that will be used by thousands. If this concept made sense, the private sector would have done it already. It doesn't make sense.

The upshot of all of this is that we may finally get the revolution we've been waiting for. The tree of liberty is parched!
