There's nothing more irritating than trying to get support from MS and then they say, "oh but you have an OEM license key, you have to call XYZ computer company for support." It wouldn't be quite so bad if XYZ computer company usually had pretty good support, but of course they don't - at least not for the Microsoft OS. However, if it's a licensing issue, they still might be able to help you out. Might be worth a try if it's preventing you from downloading updates that you really need. Or, you could just prevail upon one of your friends here (even me) to email you the update(s) that you're trying and failing to download. -- D-LO From kenbrody at spamcop.net Mon Aug 1 17:51:03 2005 From: kenbrody at spamcop.net (Kenneth Brody) Date: Mon Aug 1 16:55:06 2005 Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Microsoft erases Apple from the face of the Earth Message-ID: <42EE8B37.4FCF186C@spamcop.net> Apple's headquarters are located at 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA.

The more probable explanation is that Republicans have their hands in everyone's pockets. For years, the middle class has been disappearing - the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. The Republicans think the economy's fine because the laws favor the way they earn their money. Those who had middle class jobs have seen them go out of the country and all that is left are jobs at Walmart and fast food. The people who used to have to take those jobs now have no jobs or temp jobs. The people who own the businesses are making more money by eliminating jobs in the US and if they weren't Republicans before, are now because they don't want to be working at Walmart.

It's happened to me twice in the last few months, one was a link I'd saved, so someone must have taken over the domain and trashed it - thank goodness for Adaware, my McAfee went off but no viruses were found.

Adaware got rid of the lot. On Indi's suggestion I installed > Spywareguard, so far I haven't tripped it. Y'all are cruisin' around too loose, IMO. You need to give up some functionality of some websites in your 'default' internet condition. I'm using IE and never get spyware or viruses, and it is notorious for being insecure. I use all 4 of IE's security settings all customized, restricted is totally tight and is the config for OE, internet is very tight and interferes with the functionality of many sites, intranet is more 'flexible' and is my most commonly used strategy for loosening up for something, but there's a philosophy about that, trusted is very trusting and I almost never use it except for MS updates and such. The philosophy of allowing loosening for a site which won't function properly for me depends on why I might want to let it do more, like javascript. You shouldn't trust major sites who like to make important juicy deals with marketers to have their way with functionality which requires too much scripting. It's a gig. They design the site so that for your full 'enjoyment' you need to loosen up. When you loosen up the marketers get to help you have full enjoyment of their ware, which is not to be trusted. The major sites, say MSNBC or something, shouldn't be allowed to have a loose configuration. And you certainly shouldn't be surfing around to uknown sites loosely. The internet security should be very restrictive. The business of having to depend upon AV ware to catch the viruses and antispyware to catch the adwares or remove them is no good. Eventually you will be catching a virus whose template isn't in the AV dat yet, or the next bright idea about the spyware or adware which isn't recognized. 'Needing' AV and antispyware is a sign that something is way too insecure. -- Mike Easter kibitzer, not SC admin From MikeE at ster.invalid Tue Aug 2 19:18:23 2005 From: MikeE at ster.invalid (Mike Easter) Date: Tue Aug 2 21:20:09 2005 Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Re: Dude, redux References: Message-ID: Charles wrote: > Dell is?

This 10th planet business and Pluto has got me onto the anti-Pluto the planet kick again - so I'll just belch this out and maybe I can put Pluto [and any consideration of this new guy as a planet] out of my head. There're many significant problems with Pluto besides its distance or solarsystem 'zone', its funny ecliptic, and its small size; not the least of which is that its so-called 'moon' Charon doesn't actually orbit Pluto -- but they orbit /each other/, so they are sortofa twin mesoplanet configuration, as opposed to an expected planet + moon behavior. Naturally Charon is smaller than some of the other 'mesoplanets', so you kinda /have/ to consider it a moon, which 'artifically' escalates Pluto's status. However, other mesoplanets are significantly smaller than Charon while several are larger, and now even larger than Pluto. We've got the 'cubewanos' and the 'plutinos' and other 'unclassified' transNeptunian objects. To say nothing of all of those big asteroids like Ceres. Pallas and Vesta are pretty big, also. For asteroids. We have to keep those things organized. We've got some big things that /some/ people, especially their discoverers, would like to have be a planet including this new guy - we've also had some 'wars' before about whether Pluto should be a planet or not - and nothing is actually getting any simpler. The naming and classifying people are doing their best, but it seems like there is also some kind of popularity contest.. -- Mike Easter kibitzer, not SC admin From heybub at gmail.com Tue Aug 2 23:05:21 2005 From: heybub at gmail.com (HeyBub) Date: Tue Aug 2 23:10:02 2005 Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Re: Consumer Confidence Slips References: Message-ID: Frog Prince wrote: > "HeyBub" > >>>> Becoming a Republican improves your view of the economy. >>> >>> Hmmm, cause and effect... how about destroys your BS filters so they >>> in fact have negative value (aka Fox News levels!) :-P >> >> It's not that fox has a high BS factor, it's that the other networks >> worked at such a pitch that Fox, being neutral and therefore so far >> away from what we're used to seeing, stands out. > > Now we know the origin of your damp yellow socks!!!

The point is that service area jobs are there, but do not pay as much as manufacturing or middle management jobs. Now you are either a servant or are being served.

I consider my security pretty tight, with the exception of allowing java so I can see the weather radar loop, but everything else is set to 'disable' or 'prompt'. Generally I say 'no' first to each prompt anyway, unless I find it restricts something I want to see, I just want to know what's going on. What I'd really like to know is how to disable Flash from running automatically, (besides uninstallingit completely), the flash ads that cover what you're trying to read are really really obnoxious.

Reiterating that I use 4 security settings customed -- internet is all of activeX is disabled, java is disabled, all of scripting is disabled. I do /not/ 'reflexly' give a site intranet security status just because things don't work there. Very often I decide to 'pass' on a site's functionality rather than loosen up. Sometimes I look at a page's source to see what kind of javascript is there before I let anything happen. If I'm somehow satisfied that I can loosen the site's privileges up to intranet, my intranet settings are activeX nothing is enabled, mixed disable and prompt, Java permissions medium safety, scripting enabled. An example of a security workaround is the problem of .pdf/s. My internet setting is so tight that the Adobe reader doesn't open a .pdf file when clicked on. Rather than upgrade the security status of the site so that I can open the .pdf, I R click the target and 'save target as' which writes the .pdf to disk and then asks me if I want to open the file - to which I yes. -- Mike Easter kibitzer, not SC admin From nobody at devnull.spamcop.net Wed Aug 3 11:14:49 2005 From: nobody at devnull.spamcop.net (Neil) Date: Wed Aug 3 10:15:03 2005 Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Quality TV Alert - BBC America - 'Teachers' (comedy) Message-ID: Heads-up for those that enjoy quality television.

Tchnically, all planets and their moons orbit each other. Take the Earth/Moon pair, which both orbit around a central point called the barycenter. (This point happens to be within the Earth, but it is not the center of the Earth. A quick Google on "earth moon barycenter" seems to show it as about 72% of the way from Earth's center to the surface.) There are some decent sketches on it towards the bottom of: http://library.thinkquest.org/29033/begin/earthsunmoon.htm Even tiny Pan causes a wobble in Saturn's orbit, though I doubt it's detectable. The difference with Pluto is that the barycenter is above its surface. [...] -- +-------------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------+ | Kenneth J.

Or if it is supposed to be there, why the shoddy workmanship? Did this ever occur on previous missions? Or was NASA just ignorant of the problem because they never saw it? Seems this whatever it is would just burn up anway....and likely so fast that the heat tiles would never really be affected. So, I'm not sure why the concern.

Flashblock for Firefox is pretty cool. It leaves a button there instead and if you want to see it, like the Fiore cartoons, you can click it and it activates it. Otherwise, no flashing things, just like I like it.

A hole in Columbia's shield let the heat in. The material doesn't conduct head, as a heat sink would.

However, they've only been seen after landing, so they don't know how far they were sticking out while on orbit. (They've been sticking out as much as 1/4 inch after landing, from what I understand.) This is the first mission where they've examined the underbelly of the orbiter while on orbit. -- +-------------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------+ | Kenneth J.

Maybe they are trying to get out of having 'employee prices' by making everyone else gripe about the high price of cars because they give away so much to the employee. And in spite of Hey Bub's optimism about the abundance of oil, prices may keep going up. Not only will it be more expensive to make cars, but fewer people will be buying them because they can't afford the gasoline so they are unloading their inventory now. Or a really optimistic viewpoint is that they have discovered a really efficient non-gasoline powered automobile and are trying to unload the gas hogs before they launch a new line. I like the way you think, obviously!

I saw a report noting that eleven new Hydrogen-powered cars are in the pipeline (no pun intended). What most people don't realize is that the Hydrogen used to power these cars comes from oil - either directly by refining or by electrolysis of water, powered by oil-generated electricity. There's lots and lots of oil. Getting it out of the ground and moving it to where it needs to be is the bottleneck. Twenty percent of known reserves are in Iraq and it'll be a couple of more years until that oil begins to make a dent in the world's supply. Another 20% of reserves are in Siberia. We can beat the environmental problems with the tricks we learned in Alaska, but the Russian government is so dysfunctional as to make access prohibitive. I expect China to invade Siberia if Russia doesn't get is stuff together.

In fact, you can run semi-automated hydrogen factories on solar power. A few test facilities were no larger than a common gas-station, and they created hydrogen on the spot from ordinary tap-water and a few dozen large solar-cells.

In fact, you can run semi-automated hydrogen factories on solar | power. A few test facilities were no larger than a common gas-station, and | they created hydrogen on the spot from ordinary tap-water and a few dozen | large solar-cells. The amount of power required for electrolysis is much greater than the power obtained from burning H2. BTW H2 is not an alternate fuel but an energy transfer system. Likewise the same electrical power could be better used if fed into the electrical grid. Then there is the safety issue as H2 compressed to the level required for transport auto ignites violently if there is ANY leak. Consider that H2 also permeates the container and in doing so overtime makes it less able to carry the pressure.

She mounts the horse, unassisted, and the horse immediately springs into action. As it gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, the blonde begins to slip from the saddle. In terror, she grabs for the horse's mane, but cannot get a firm grip. She tries to throw her arms around the horse's neck, but she slides down the side of the horse anyway. The horse gallops along, seemingly impervious to its' slipping rider. Finally, losing her frail grip, the blonde attempts to leap away from the horse and throw herself to safety. Unfortunately, her foot becomes entangled in the stirrup, and she is now at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves as her head is struck against the ground over and over and over. As her head is battered against the ground and she is mere moments away from unconsciousness, to her great fortune, Frank, the Wal-mart greeter, sees her and unplugs the horse. -- GregR - Another Beemer Biker ...o&o> From nobody at spamcop.net Thu Aug 4 00:14:33 2005 From: nobody at spamcop.net (GregR) Date: Thu Aug 4 02:15:07 2005 Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Re: Motorcycle Road Test coming up In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Borgholio wrote: > http://www.indianlarry.com/ > > He's not scared of death.

Message-ID: Here's a prime example of "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" offered by an English professor from the University of Phoenix: The professor told his class one day: "Today we will experiment with a new form called the tandem story. The process is simple. Each person will pair off with the person sitting to his or her immediate right. As homework tonight, one of you will write the first paragraph of a short story. You will e-mail your partner that paragraph and send another copy to me. The partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story and send it back, also sending another copy to me. The first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on back-and-forth. Remember to re-read what has been written each time in order to keep the story coherent. There is be absolutely NO talking outside of the e-mails, and anything you wish to say must be written in the e-mail. The story is over when both agree a conclusion has been reached." The following was actually turned in by two of his English students: Rebecca and Gary. THE STORY: (First paragraph by Rebecca) At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she wanted. The chamomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked chamomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him too much her asthma started acting up again. So chamomile was out of the question. (Second paragraph by Gary) Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about than the neuroses of an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with whom he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. "A.S. Harris to Geostation 17," he said into his transgalactic communicator. "Polar orbit established. No sign of resistance so far..." But before he could sign off a bluish particle beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a hole through his ship's cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent him flying out of his seat and across the cockpit. (Rebecca) He bumped his head and died almost immediately, but not before he felt one last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing the one woman who had ever had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stopped its pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4. "Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel," Laurie read in her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously excited her and bored her. She stared out the window, dreaming of her youth, when the days had passed unhurriedly and carefree, with no newspaper to read, no television to distract her from her sense of innocent wonder at all the beautiful things around her.. "Why must one lose one's innocence to become a woman?" she pondered wistfully. (Gary) Little did she know, but she had less than 10 seconds to live. Thousands of miles above the city, the Anu'udrian mothership launched the first of its lithium fusion missiles. The dim-witted wimpy peaceniks who pushed the Unilateral Aerospace disarmament Treaty through the congress had left Earth a defenseless target for the hostile alien empires who were determined to destroy the human race. Within two hours after the passage of the treaty the Anu'udrian ships were on course for Earth, carrying enough firepower to pulverize the entire planet. With no one to stop them, they swiftly initiated their diabolical plan. The lithium fusion missile entered the atmosphere unimpeded. The President, in his top-secret mobile submarine headquarters on the ocean floor off the coast of Guam, felt the inconceivably massive explosion, which vaporized poor, stupid, Laurie and 85 million other Americans. The President slammed his fist on the conference table. "We can't allow this! I'm going to veto that treaty! Let's blow 'em out of the sky!" (Rebecca) This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of literature. My writing partner is a violent, chauvinistic semi-literate adolescent. (Gary) Yeah? Well, you're a self-centered tedious neurotic whose attempts at writing are the literary equivalent of Valium. "Oh, shall I have chamomile tea? Or shall I have some other sort of F---ING TEA??? Oh no, I'm such an air headed bimbo who reads too many Danielle Steele novels!" (Rebecca) Asshole. (Gary) Bitch (Rebecca) F*CK YOU - YOU NEANDERTHAL! (Gary) Go drink some tea. Whore. (TEACHER) A+ - I really liked this one. -- GregR - Another Beemer Biker ...o&o> From nobody at spamcop.net Thu Aug 4 08:41:59 2005 From: nobody at spamcop.net (Dave Lerner) Date: Thu Aug 4 07:45:04 2005 Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Re: Women are from Venus, Men are... well, men...

I know about one of those and it was built years ago. There are companies in the US who are foreign owned (their US owners having sold them to make more money), but I don't think, in the whole picture of the economy, that that is a gain since the profits all go out of the US. > Good.

We have eliminated many sub standard living conditions in the past 50 years. Maybe we could have competed with the children in Sri Lanka, if we hadn't done that. If history repeats itself, there may be more people emigrating from the US to where the jobs are than trying to get into the US.

Leaving the displaced gap fillers as they were would create a disturbance in the boundary layer of gases that forms upon re-entry. That can cause severe overheating to the adjacent ceramic tiles -- the risk of damaging the tiles is greater than the risk of hot gases getting in between the gaps. The boundary layer actually protects the shuttle from overheating -- those gases (plasma actually) are something like 10,000 F, while the shuttle surfaces don't exceed 3,000 F.

But, my point about "shield" versus "sink" still stands, I believe. Whether RCC or ceramic tile, the purpose is to prevent the heat from reaching the inside, which is done by nonconductivity (shield, to prevent the heat from getting in) rather than conductivity (sink, to dissipate the heat elsewhere). -- +-------------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------+ | Kenneth J.

I'm surprised that the constitutionality of this hasn't been challenged yet. According to Article II section 2 paragraph 3: The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session. The phrase "that may happen during the recess" was clearly meant to mean "became vacant during the recess", as opposed to "remained vacant when the recess started because the current nominee can't get confirmed". (I guess the real reason it hasn't been challenged is the fear that they won't be able to use it themselves in the future.) -- +-------------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------+ | Kenneth J.

Since then, more than 675 local stations have gone on the air in 50 states, forming the national backbone for community broadcasting. Now, local radio (LPFM) needs your help to survive and grow. The FCC is considering critical new measures that would prevent commercial stations from pushing our community broadcasters off the dial. Before the FCC decides, they need to hear from you. Write the FCC and tell them to protect Low Power FM radio stations now at http://www.freepress.net/fcc/comment.php?d=99-25 It's taken commercial saturation of the radio waves to create demand for something as revolutionary as LPFM. These stations are locally driven and noncommercial, providing news and information to communities often ignored by mainstream radio. The FCC is modifying the 2000 rules that created LPFM stations. If you have and value a local station, or wish you had more homegrown broadcasting in your area, the FCC needs to hear from you right now. Act now to protect and support local radio. Visit http://www.freepress.net/fcc/comment.php?d=99-25 . Onward, Robert W. McChesney President Free Press www.freepress.net P.S.

There was a challenge to the recess appointment of William Pryor to the federal appeals court bench in February 2004. SCOTUS refused to hear the case, letting the lower court ruling--and the appointment--stand. But the questions in that case were whether recess appointments could be made during short recesses instead of only during the December-January adjournment, and whether a recess appointment for judges was constitutional since one so appointed must leave office when the current session ends, while the Constitution elsewhere provides that judges are appointed for life. I don't know if the specific question you raise has been addressed by SCOTUS. -- D.F.

Here's a few of my favorites from the past (paraphrased). The princess stood, stark naked, at the foot of the bed, tiara slightly askew, and, with her fists tightly cleanched, she looked down at the sweaty, but satiated, amphibian and cried: "You lied!" Running Bear studied the signs as only a native born and bread on the Dakota stepps could do and, after suitable reflection, said to the patrol leader: "Tracks still fresh - train go that-a-way." She had but one thought on her mind her first day on the job in the Pentagon: "Amber, staple; Amber, staple; Amber, staple." "The senator must have been on a real bender," said the sheriff, "he left the party last night about eleven and this morning he and his car were found in the smokestack of a British aircraft carrier in the Formosa Straights."

It's constitutional. It's common. George Washington made the first when he appointed John Rutledge as Chief Justice. Clinton, for example, made 140 recess appointments in his eight years. Earl Warren and Thurgood Marshall were recess appointments. When the Senate fails to do its duty, the president must do his.

Most administrative posts have the exemplar: "... until his successor be qualified..." All Bush has to do in January 2007 is not name a replacement and Bolton continues to serve. I'm sure the president's decision will be based, in part, on how many more Republicans are elected to the Senate.

The Bush twins are every conservative man's fantasy. Triplets are even better. And quads or more are guaranteed news anywhere. Whenever a family has a litter or so, it's all over the news for a little while. Companies often fall over themselves in giving the family help as a PR move, and it usually works. Unless, of course, the company is Wal-Mart. And the "help" they are asked to give is very specific. This morning's Boston Herald has the story of a family that just welcomed quadruplets into their tiny home. They were going to put an addition on the house to make room for the new babies, but zoning regulations forbid them from increasing their septic system to handle the additional size of the house (and household). A solution appeared ready-made: a nearby Wal-Mart had a large sewer pipe, with a bit of excess capacity. If they would allow the Lynch family to connect to that pipe, they could put up the new addition and not force the family of seven to somehow all live in a 750-square-foot, two-bedroom ranch. Of course, Wal-Mart had absolutely no obligation to let the Lynches use their sewer pipe. Or even to answer the request at all (they didn't). But here the world's biggest retailer had a chance to score a huge PR coup, to show their human, compassionate side, to help out some little people with a big problem. Instead, they sat on their collective thumbs. Wal-Mart is a sponsor of Paul Harvey. When he plugs them, he ends with "you couldn't have a better neighbor." I suspect the Lynches would disagree with that.

Their teeny little 750 sq ft 2 br house is apparently only 400 ft from a public well, so expanding their sewer isn't going to be allowed so they can add on. They were happy to pay for everything, just to be allowed to connect to the Walmart sewer line, they don't want a handout. All this was started when they thought they were only having one child - no mention of fertility drugs, and if she was working, he was working 2 jobs, how would they have afforded that? I feel bad for them, the father's working two jobs now and obviously the mother can't return to work with five kids. I hope someone steps up and offers them a new house to live in. > > And, no, as far as I know, the Lynches didn't embark on some kind of > ill-advised fertility enhancing program, but I'm suspicious.

IMO, 750 sq ft is barely adequate for 2 people, nevermind 7. They need to find/build a new house anyway...I can't imagine there being much advantage to building new or adding on to one on the same property. And who would want to live next door to WalMart with 5 kids, given traffic and other potential issues? That's crazy. WalMart's lack of action is doing them a favor...they should rethink their plan. In any case, I don't have much sympathy for people that have litters of kids without being able to afford the upkeep.....fertility drugs or not. But quadruplets rarely occur naturally.

If they still have a septic system near a public well, the house was probably grandfathered in. The house and land may be paid for and was a legacy from grandparents who originally lived in the country. In that case, it definitely would be cheaper to add on. It generally is cheaper than rebuilding from scratch. > WalMart's lack of action is doing them a > favor...they should rethink their plan.

The point was that since quadruplets rarely do occur naturally, they were a good publicity stunt for corporations. Before fertility drugs, people were sympathetic with families who had four babies at a time - just as they are if some other natural happening affects a family. The fact that there are many more now due to fertility drugs may have lessened the publicity factor. The odds are the letter got lost in the bureaucracy at Walmart rather than being deliberately ignored. Do you know the post that started this thread is more like gossip than anything else? As well as the numerous FW: FW's I get. Now gossip is not confined to small towns, but is globally spread via the internet! I suppose it was inevitable.

Then an engineering firm hired by the couple contacted the Avon store manger and, according to Lynch, "they said no" to the hookup. Lynch said since they have not heard directly from Wal-Mart, they are assuming the answer is no. If they moved, their mortgage would be much more expensive, he said." http://news.bostonherald.com/localRegional/view.bg?articleid=96524 The couple, who spent $2,700 on an engineer to design a septic system, asked the giant retail chain for help. Wal-Mart said no. Wal-Mart was researching the situation but didn't have an immediate response yesterday to why it rejected the request, according to a spokesman. ``I always heard they do things for the community but I guess not this community,'' Chris Lynch said. The point is Walmart didn't respond until the people went public with their story, all of a sudden they're "considering" it, translation, they'd look like real badasses if they denied the request for four new babies. Oh dear, more bad PR for Wal-Mart. Oh, and in case you're interested: "Lynch said his wife had not taken fertility drugs."

But they can afford to build one? In most areas, the addition/renovations required would cost more than it would to start from scratch. Why add on to a structure that is not much bigger than a garage? And even if it costed less than buying new, doing so isn't going to help resale value because of their proximity to WalMart.

If they're living in a 750 sq ft house with one child, I'd say they really couldn't afford to have more kids anyway....they should have taken precautions. I see the "problem" as poor planning in multiple respects. Charity in these situations only encourages more of the same in the future and the same behavior from others. Whether they have them all at once, or sequentially/individually, prolific breeders should bear the responsibility for their offspring and not expect everyone else to support them.

Message-ID: http://www.seacoastonline.com/news/08052005/news/56211.htm BRENTWOOD - The "family jewels" of one Brentwood man recently were locked up for two weeks - literally. On Saturday, July 30, at about 3:40 a.m., Brentwood police assisted ambulance and rescue personnel with a 39-year-old man with a padlock on his testicles. According to police, the man, who police are not identifying, was intoxicated when they arrived on scene. The man reported that the padlock had been on his testicles for two weeks. Cpl. H.D. Wood IV said the man reported that a friend put the lock on his testicles. He was allegedly severely intoxicated and passed out. He told police that when he woke up the padlock was placed around top his scrotum and his friend was gone. "Never in my 13 years have I seen anything like this," Wood said. The man reported to police that he allegedly attempted to remove the padlock with a hacksaw after the key broke off inside the lock. He was taken to Exeter Hospital, where a locksmith was called to remove the lock. The hospital reported that the man was treated and released without sustaining lasting injury.

Sure, but so what? Did John Adams or Thomas Jefferson or James Madison intend the Constitution to permit abortion? Evidently, the way the Constitution is viewed "evolves" to fit new situtations. If the courts can find a "right to privacy" or determine that the star-faced-toad (who never moves more than ten feet in its life) affects interstate commerce, seems to me the president can find that "recess" means "recess."

How could anyone in their right mind look at Fox and think 'neutral'? They push the GOP agenda. Therefore they are not neutral. Even if they 'balance' out the subjects of their stories so that they equally represent both sides in terms of airtime (which I doubt), they negatively present the Democrats while they positively present the GOP. That doesn't mean they're fair and balanced in any way that a normal person would regard the true meaning of those words.

Message-ID: Story in USA Today Friday 8/5/05. California actually gets a break (for once...) since we phased out MBTE a few years ago. ------------------------------------------------- http://tinyurl.com/c3v6e "Motorists could face even higher gasoline prices ? perhaps as much as 9 cents a gallon more ? if other refiners follow the lead of Valero Energy in quickly withdrawing a controversial fuel additive. "One of the nation's largest refiners, Valero decided this week to stop producing and blending the additive MTBE in gasoline. The company said it was taking the action because refiners didn't receive liability protection regarding the additive in the energy bill passed last week by Congress. MTBE, a petroleum-based oxygenate aimed at reducing air pollution, has been blamed for polluting wells and groundwater. "The decision could cut Valero's production of gas for the U.S. market by 2.5 million gallons a day, the company warned. The biggest effect would be felt next spring after the bill has taken effect. "If other refiners follow its lead, Valero said, the market could lose a total of about 10.9 million gallons of gas a day. None of the other majors could be reached for comment. It could take about a year to restore even half of the lost capacity, Valero spokeswoman Mary Rose Brown said in the statement. "Valero said it refines one out of nine gallons of gas in the USA. "The MBTE issue is "throwing fuel on the fire" of rising gas prices, said Seth Kleinman, market analyst for consultant PFC Energy. "This could add a few cents or more to the price of gasoline" ? just how much is difficult to estimate, he added." ------------------------------------------------- -- GregR - Another Beemer Biker ...o&o> From nobody at spamcop.net Sun Aug 7 16:42:28 2005 From: nobody at spamcop.net (GregR) Date: Sun Aug 7 18:45:02 2005 Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Re: Off on vacation!

This might make it even worse for CA, since this is one of the ways the California formulation differs from the rest of the country. At least, that was the excuse the oil industry gave before for CA prices being higher. If gas formulated for CA can now be sold elsewhere, then the 2.5 million gallons a day less output claimed in the quoted article might be siphoned off the CA supply. Thereby driving CA prices up even higher.

Perhaps not a formal campus but they do have medical facilities under the UT Med school cover in Austin. I know because I had to go there for some serious test that could not be performed in Dallas. But back to the original question: which finger did you lick ... or did you audition for the job of poke-ee?

Well, if I understand correctly, the landlord (JT) has said that he doesn't have time to deal with it, and if he gets too many complaint he'd just as soon shut it all (the NNTP server) down as take any other action. > fuck off and die Moron > > I feel so much better > Bill Don't we all.
