    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.

    OMG Clarence Thomas issues a Supreme Court decision!

    The "cruel and unusual punishment" clause of the 8th Amendment does not ban capital punishment. Specific language changing the 5th Amendment is required to do so. No such language is found in the 8th. The Court is correct, it is up to the states to decide how juries weigh factors. The Courts...

    girlfriend question...

    There is a difference between someone asking you if you have noticed her new Myspace song and telling you to go listen to a specific one. Which was it? Is she obsessed with Myspace? If it makes you feel any better, I got dumped yesterday. Through a series of unfortunate circumstances, we...

    Wierd Boot Problem

    What do you mean by "it just wouldn't boot?" Does the system just hang? Any hard drive activity? Try just the motherboard, CPU, one stick of RAM, and your hard drive outside of the case. If you want to test your RAM, run the lastest version of Memtest. You can do both sticks at once if...

    Free Sample of Isopure and Tshirt

    I got my shirt and sample in less than a couple of weeks. The shirt is pre-shrunk and the pineapple whatever flavor I got wasn't that bad considering what else was in there.

    cBS poll the left is trying to tout

    I don't know of any Republican who worships Bush. In fact, he is really not a Republican at all. As far as poll numbes are concerned, people feed off of energy, negative or positive. Poll numbers that have been fabricated or resulted from misleading questions (I think we can assume this wasn't...

    ***Bush To Nominate Samuel Alito to Supreme Court***

    He went to Yale...average LSAT score of 171 compared to a whopping 155 for SMU (where Miers went). I think there is some IQ there. Do you have any though? That information is readily found on the internet in a matter of seconds. There is no explicit right to privacy, stop referring to it as...

    ***Bush To Nominate Samuel Alito to Supreme Court***

    The English language has been dumbed down and civic education focuses on being politically correct. Simple as that. What percentage of the population do you think actually picks up on subtleties such as being a long dissenter on a panel of three?

    ***Bush To Nominate Samuel Alito to Supreme Court***

    Planned Parenthood v. Casey was about notification, not permission. There is a huge difference. Way to be illiterate you moron. Or maybe it was just incompetence. The case can be read HERE. *Edit: I'd also like to add that it is impossible for Alito to have been the sole dissenter for...

    Quake 4 + 7800 GTX = Ultra settings easily?

    Only a level or two in D3 takes more than 256MB with everything maxed out. I imagine that Q4 is much of the same.

    why does a person need to carry a gun on a daily basis in america in 2005?

    Anyone who has a basic understanding of the origins, applications, and limits of the government can answer this. If you don't like the 2nd Amendment, pass a constitutional amendment banning it. You will fail for a reason.

    Most spectacular failure in video card history

    Who are the morons voting for Crossfire??? A late delivery doesn't mean the technology is a failure...not to mention it is the only technology listed in the poll. The 5800 gets my vote. Took forever to arrive and was a real POS when it did.

    It is his problem. He voided your warranty by taking too long and using AS5. Magically, after applying AS5, problems pop up.

    Best 64-bit OS?

    I love x64. I don't know why you would get a 32-bit OS now, especially with that hardware. All of my programs work perfectly. The only "problem" I've had is ATI's AIW stuff not being supported yet, but that is ATI's problem.

    Bush's response is not adequate

    And this is the biggest problem that Bush faces...your attitude. You would rather see the President fail than to succeed in restoring the country to normalcy. I wish you were alone, but you're not. Anyone who cannot put aside political differences after their candidate loses is a complete...

    Back in stock! Antec SLK3000B - $44 free ship @ Amazon

    I got that case at Amazon for about the same price a while ago. It isn't the best case, but for the price it is an excellent value. I found my SX835II to have nicer build quality, but the 2x120mm fans, smaller size, less weight, and a better removable HDD rack make it a good case. It's great for...
