Obama also promised MANY times during his campaign that he would not issue signing statements (a violation of the Constitution). Yet, he has already issued signing statements before the end of last year. He is also head of security for the UN - another violation of the Constitution.

Will not use it until at least SP1 is released.

If it has ovaries, fallopian tubes, etc and the rest of the hardware needed to birth a child then it is considered female. If said person contains both sets of parts normally found in the respective sexes, then said person should be considered neither sex by whatever committee is deciding eligibility based on certain advantages to be had over either sex by the other. In this instance, this would only be fair to the other athletes. Fairness in this case is determined not by the exception, but the norm. Like mother nature, sometimes life's a bitch.

Not to mention it jams during combat.

"Our great computers fill the hallowed halls..."

Right. Because dobermans are much better at surviving a gunshot and protecting you than a gun. However, they do make a great addition to a gun for security.

Doh, guess I should RTFA first....

Oh, I see how it is. It's because they're black..isn't it. ;-)

Sounds like the engrish term for Blackberry.

Considering how much of NASA's time & budget is spent on climate research, I don't think it's too far off topic.

These aren't factions of some cult. This is an agenda by the globalists who put Obama in office. They are hell bent on reigning in their New World Order. Obama will bring nothing new to the table because he and McCain are two sides of the same coin. It has been this way for several decades. The American Sheeple honestly believe they had a choice to make a change with their "choice" of candidates. We are slowly being brainwashed to be led to the slaughter. BTW, why fewer than one billion?? Read the new "Ten Commandments" of the globalists:

MAINTAIN HUMANITY UNDER 500,000,000 IN PERPETUAL BALANCE WITH NATURE

GUIDE REPRODUCTION WISELY - IMPROVING FITNESS AND DIVERSITY

UNITE HUMANITY WITH A LIVING NEW LANGUAGE

RULE PASSION - FAITH - TRADITION AND ALL THINGS WITH TEMPERED REASON

PROTECT PEOPLE AND NATIONS WITH FAIR LAWS AND JUST COURTS

LET ALL NATIONS RULE INTERNALLY RESOLVING EXTERNAL DISPUTES IN A WORLD COURT

AVOID PETTY LAWS AND USELESS OFFICIALS

BALANCE PERSONAL RIGHTS WITH SOCIAL DUTIES.

PRIZE TRUTH - BEAUTY - LOVE - SEEKING HARMONY WITH THE INFINITE

BE NOT A CANCER ON THE EARTH - LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE - LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE

These are the on the Georgia Guidestones. Call me crazy but do the research objectively, not with a biased slant. It's damn scary when you connect the dots and follow the breadcrumbs.

By 2020 everyone will be chipped with something similar to the Verichip. Walking through the entrance of one of these scanning stations your chip is scanned, the terminal does a query of your ID and factors the background information in with FAST. This if VERY plausible. We are soon to tagged like cattle. First we will be asked in the form of incentives such as easier commerce transactions. Then it will be mandated in the name of domestic security. There are too many technical reasons for this to be a bad idea. I don't see that as being a barrier to politicians pushing forward with this complete invasion of personal liberty. We are already in the first stages of living in a police state and most people do not even realize it. I have to admit that 2020 is a VERY conservative estimate, as computing power is getting cheaper and faster. In 11 years we will look back at 2009 be thankful for the amount of unmonitored freedom still we had.
I will continue to wear my tinfoil hat even when it's not in fashion.
