I used to get to look with a home made 8 inch telescope. Living down the road from DR. Clyde Tombaugh had it's advantages. Also got to hear the lecture about the discovery of Pluto several times. A very nice man.

The link is to an article where Snowden claims he got the job just to do this. That means his oaths taken to get the job were lies. He is just a traitor. There were other means that were legal to expose this program, he could have sent the data to every member of Congress, and acted like a true whistle blower instead of running to China like a thief in the night.

There will be an exchange rate like with any other currency. In every country I have ever been to there is a an "official" exchange rate" and an under the table one that is much better. Why would this be any different? Just another scam in the making.

I still love my Nikon F2 that I got in 1977. Best 35 MM camera ever. Since it takes a DSLR capable of 24 MP to equal it and I don't have $2500 + laying around.... I stick with the heavy old workhorse.

20 years ago if you saw a man with a cell phone you knew it was someone important like a doctor. Today you see someone that is on a leash to a higher power, like a wife.

I have yet to be leashed, but have had a wife for 29 years.

There are 2 simple reasons why this isn't being done.
1. Cost for the indentification unit is prohibitive. It would double the cost of the weapon.
2. It has been proven over the years that you can not make something idiot proof. I don't care if it's a weapon or a power tool, some moron will always come along and try something nobody else ever imagined and injure themselves or someone else. Look at all the safety warnings in any instruction manual and realize that someone actually did that.

Teaching people to have a respect for human life would do more to stop these mass killings than anything else. When I was in High School (class of 74) half the vehicles in the student parking lot were pickup trucks with a gun rack in the back window. There was always a rifle and/or a shotgun in the rack. We never had anyone shot at school because we knew the difference between right and wrong.

I forward every single SPAM email to the Federal Trade commission for prosecution. If you live in the United States forward all SPAM to uce@ftc.gov it's how people like Ralsky end up in jail.

Why does every windows application programmer think their program is so special or important that it needs to run in the background? The first thing to speed up any computer is to kill all the crappola trying run at start up. A program should run when started and when exited from it should completely shut down and even delete any temp files it created. I did a cleanup on a customers machine once and deleted over 10,000 temp files. That is lazy and stupid programming.

Having grown up where the best Chile in the world comes from, Southern New Mexico, I object to the spelling of the chile without the e. 80% of the commercially grown chile was developed in the horticulture lab at New Mexico State University by Dr. Roy Nakayama from the 60's through the 80's.

One, Justice Roberts took something that was not written as a tax, only defended as one, and changed the legislation.

Two, Justice Roberts confirmed that every time Pelosi, Reid, and Obama claim something isn't a tax, they are liars. Which most of us already knew.

He left the US and renounced his citizenship a year ago. Only now is it news because of the IPO? Schumer is one of the worst for totalitarian Marxism in the senate. He should be tied to a tree upside down and fed Ex-Lax for a month.

Where I am it could be hydro-electric, nuclear, or coal at any given time.

There is a reason that AT&T was broken up 25 or so years ago. Those reasons still hold true. They were the worst service and most dishonest company around in the 70's. I have not dealt with them since I was given a choice and never would again. They don't need to buy other companies and become bigger.

I'll never tell, you'll have to0 beat it out of Cowboy Neal!
