  1. Wait until you finish engineering school. Then see if you know how to punctuate properly
  2. A .500NE will fit both bills - and at $10 a shot, cost so much you hesitate unless it really matters. A solution for both sides of the debate
  3. The National Journal picked 62 votes that would give them the outcome they wanted. If Michael Moore did this your panty's would be all bunched up.
  4. 2.5 inches lateral seperation will allow to reproduce the orginal depth of the object (larger/smaller seperation will result in magnification)
  5. I find the whole "Edwards isn't qualified to be President" thread damn amusing, given W was in office for...6 years, before becoming President. If trial lawyers are bad, what are war profiteers?
  6. This was what struck me So how much didn't get recovered? Were we better off with nuclear material in the hands of madman, or not knowing where the hell it is?
  7. Traverse left from the bottom. By now the trail may be melted out. Timewise probably not. Different trip goals really.
  8. Gotterdamrung- As someone who is bearing arms in the service of a cause/nation, but aren't in uniform, couldn't you be classified as an "enemy combatant"?

    un chat andalou

    That has one of the creepiest film scenes ever

  11. WTF is yours Dru? "While the role and authority of the PMPRB are still being examined, the recommendation to maintain the 20-year term for patent protection was accepted. On March 12, 1998 the federal government of Canada implemented changes to the Patented Medicines Regulations (Linkage Regulations) to ensure that pharmaceutical patents are respected without delaying market entry of generic drugs." http://www.merckfrosst.ca/e/health/patent/home.html The original term of 7 years after marketing would be longer than most US drugs receive
  12. Sorry Dru, Canadian patents last....20 years.
  13. Will- You forgot a couple key points there 1) Much of the drug development costs are in regulatory compliance aka the FDA. That's US market specific - and something that could be reformed. Fears of another Thalidomide hamper reform on this front. 2)Novartis and Eli Lilly have operating margins of ~25% That's damn good. The Drug industry has become to depend on blockbuster drugs backed by $Billion in advertising to push their growth.
  14. Raffi Dedayn - 1st Ascent of Shiprock, among others. 1st American Maker of Oval Biners? My most interesting old biner is steel D with the old toothed gate. Too rusted to find out anymore
  15. Isn't it wonderful that the people withdrawing on the credit card will be dead before the bill comes do. They won't even have their estates taxed!
  16. Mr. Kaczynski, I presume?
  17. I had the problem last year with a new pair of Lasers and several miles descending on the road. Took several months to clear up, but once the foam packed out they worked fine.

    Greek Shocker!!

    No, it's for fags and euros. Let me guess, your a baseball fan?
  19. The Bike Gallery is showing the TDF live, at least some days.
  20. And if your interested in the competiveness of American Business on a global scale, look no further than Health Care costs. 15% of GDP currently in the US(the Japanese spend proportionately 1/2 of what we do and live longer). Rising at twice the rate of inflation. The fastest growing employee cost for most employers. So what about a Health Care plan? You say you don't want to pay for Universal Healt Care? You already ARE! Everytime an uninsured, or underinsured person goes to the ER, you foot the bill. Not directly, but in the increased rates you pay for insurance. So either eliminate the service requirement for hospitals - and allow then to turn away people who can't pay (how very French!), or provide health care for all, at least on a catastrophic basis.

    Bicycle Seats

    I'm all for supporting my local bike shop, but lately that's happened to me with about every purchase. I find it 40-50% less online. The Flite saddle's are

    The Second Civil War

    I thought/hoped that this is obvious to the majority of the US population. Please don't tell me that I'm wrong. If anything Will's underestimated the problem. Not only are the politician's scumbags - so's most of their staff (often the staff's slimier than the politician). As for the American Public - count the number of "Vote Kerry/Bush in 2004" bumperstickers.....

    4 Mountain Lion attacks in TWENTY YEARS! And you're getting your Vote W in 2004 Thong in a bunch?
  24. Bottle that stuff and sell it to REI as bear repellent!
  25. Bug- See earlier statistics of who has been attacked. It's not surprising that animals would attack the unaware (bikers/runners) and the young.
