    Bill Hicks

    I have that effect on people. *shrug*
  3. Absolute zero can never be reached. Ever.
  4. Nope. He's a cool kid. Goofy at times, just like his Dad.
  5. Have to work in the am. Fuck this "job" shit.

    Bill Hicks

    Though he's been dead for some time, I really appreciate Bill Hicks' approach to life. He was one quoted as saying "Hitler had the right idea, he was just an underachiever". He defended this by saying he was not anti-semitic, but rather hated all of humanity. His response to a female heckler If you ever get a chance, rent one of his performances. I would not recommend it for families with younger children.

  9. This has been in practice for years. Tennessee State University had a car that held the speed record for a hydrogen powered car in 1991. You could never use tap water; there are too many impurities and inconsistencies. You should only use distilled water.
  10. Yes, a couple may be different, but for the most part that is what you will see. My Lincoln (stock) had the blue 24# inj., and the injectors I sold out of the Lightning engine were green 42# injs.

  12. What is your resolution set to? I saw someone with 600x800 today and I was sad for him. What does everyone run? I'll start: 1680x1050

  14. Absolutely, but at your age, growth should be your concern with investments, not security. Just don't put everything into one stock.
  15. Those give a terrible return. There are cash accounts that pay more than those will. You would want to first max out your IRA contribution, then invest in growth stocks.
  16. Let me know what you need for those, and how much HP they support (per 6).
  17. Update the firmware before you do anything else. http://www.linksys.com/connect
  18. Absolutely. However, I don't consider myself either. I listen to both sides of an argument and form my own conclusion. In my opinion, not enough people do that. Just a few paragraphs ago Scott argued that "liberals" point the finger at everyone else, and here you are doing the same thing. Every administration needs its flaws pointed out. Our government was designed with a system of checks and balances. One of the beautiful things about our country is that anyone has the freedom to speak out against our administration. You may not agree with what is said, but you don't have to. If another administration comes along and fucks things up even worse than they are now, you would be free to point out those inaccuracies in the administration; and in my opinion it is necessary to hold the administration responsible. If there are outspoken dissidents, it makes those in charge think harder about the decisions they make. This isn't done enough.
  19. Dictionary definition: a often capitalized : a movement in modern Protestantism emphasizing intellectual liberty and the spiritual and ethical content of Christianity b : a theory in economics emphasizing individual freedom from restraint and usually based on free competition, the self-regulating market, and the gold standard c : a political philosophy based on belief in progress, the essential goodness of the human race, and the autonomy of the individual and standing for the protection of political and civil liberties d capitalized : the principles and policies of a Liberal party From wikipedia: Classical liberalism emphasizes free private enterprise, individual property rights, laissez-faire economic policy, and freedom of contract, and opposes the welfare state. Classical liberals support equality before the law and hold that economic inequality, arising naturally from competition in the free market, does not justify forced wealth redistribution. New liberals advocate a greater degree of government influence to protect individual rights (in a broad sense), often in the form of anti-discrimination laws. New liberals support universal education, and many also support welfare, including benefits for the unemployed, housing for the homeless, and medical care for the sick, all supported by progressive taxation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you can see, there are many different definitions of the word "liberal", and very few people follow any of these ideals to the letter. Too often people concern themselves with labels and specific groups of people. In my opinion both sides of what you consider to be liberal vs. conservative (which is too broad to define, that is the point I was making) have wonderful ideas. We need to focus on making the country better, rather than making the "opposing side" (in quotes because we are all Americans) look wrong. Generalizing only allows you to close your mind.
  20. Pony up and answer the fucking question. You say that liberals are destroying the country, yet you can't define what a liberal is. You might as well say that gremlins are destroying the country, or gnomes or elves for that matter. Tell us who you are talking about. One of my very good friends owns a very successful law firm, and has stated that he would trade jobs with me any day of the week. I have done everything I have on a high school education. While I take pride in my achievements, I really don't feel the need to justify them to you; but if you want to get together and do just that, I'd be more than happy to do so.
  21. Are you going to respond to what I posted, or just attempt to insinuate that your inferior intellect makes you a superior person?
