    Congress considering Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2007

    I'd like to know what kind of impact this would actually have on the trade deficit...a fraction of a percentage point?

    Is there anyone out there who isn't scared to death about global warming YET?

    Why would you be afraid of something that is largely outside of our control. Yes, I said it. Humans are not even close to the primary cause of global warming. Go be afraid of Mother Nature instead.

    12" laptops?

    Consider getting a used Thinkpad X30 or X40 off of eBay. There are several variations for each of those lines too. You can probably find an X40 that still has a couple of years left on the warranty. IBM warranties follow the serial number. I went with a T42 (14") instead because I didn't feel...

    choosing between 2 small laptops

    Yeah, Dell pairs 533MHz RAM with 667MHz CPUs. Lenovo does not. I have only compared the e1405 to the M1210...and the M1210 was far superior. It feels quite solid, but the 12.1" widescreen was a little unusal. I think for a screen that small widescreen may not be the way to go, but I only got to...

    NSA Ruling Proves Bush Was Right All Along....

    What does our ability/inability to think of crashing a plane into a building have anything to do with the NSA case?

    NSA Ruling Proves Bush Was Right All Along....

    Say whatever you want about the President. That is your prerogative. We fight for that from time to time. So far I've had two dumb comments...anyone care to offer a substantive response? You might have to read the 44 page opinion to provide one.:Q

    NSA Ruling Proves Bush Was Right All Along....

    The release of this information by the New York Times does damage national security. How? The program "...targets communications where one party to the communication is outside the United States, and the government has a reasonable basis to conclude that one party to the communication is a...

    World Trade Center

    I didn't like this movie. I understand it wasn't about the actual events so much as the story behind the two main characters, but what is up with the marine? The dream(?) where Jesus entends bottled water? I also noticed the omission of certain ethnicities...oh, Oliver. I guess I just didn't...

    WinXP x64 SP2 Beta 1

    It just doesn't seem like we have had enough updates to warrant a SP, but I guess it makes sense if it is a rollup as was done for 2K's SP4. I really hope the Core 2 Duos are affordable...I'd like to be able to use x64 in college. I don't think I'd ever bother with a CPU upgrade for a laptop.

    OMG Clarence Thomas issues a Supreme Court decision!

    The federal government has no such authority to make the application of the death penalty uniform. One word...federalism. The Court is supposed to decide what the Constitution says, not what the best government policy might be. No part of the federal government has any say in the matter...

    FREE Hypnosis Training

    For anyone who is skeptical...hypnosis is very real. Probably the best part of my high school grad party. No, the kids had no contact with the hypnotist. Give it a try, but you do have to be willing to be hypnotized. That's key.
