295 miles. Well sort of... you be the judge About 14 years ago, I met a German girl in a Jersey mall. Turns out she was spending a week with a "foster American family in NH", something like that. After a conversation that lasted less than 30 minutes, we agreed to meet in a small local airport in Manchester, NH. I rented a 172 flew out there and spent the day and the night with her. I then flew back home in the morning. A couple of months later, concidently (really) I found myself living in the same city of Germany as she. We went out on one more date this time in Dresden and I never saw her again. If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass. Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound.

I have a 99 vette to do this week, and why is it that EVERY vette owner thinks they have the one and only vette like theirs? i mean seriously.. ---------------- I like C5 a lot and thought I would never get used to C6 but in the past seven months I have learned otherwise. It still puts me in a good mood to hit the gas pedal and feel those 436 horses on that 6.2 liter engine go. If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass.

You can't just say National Socialist party because the "intellectuals" who think that the Nazis were right wing, don't know that the actual name for that very clear left wing ideology that they know as Nazism was the National Socialist party. Now I will go back to lurking and watching others argue. If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass. Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound.

Not sure about this but I don't consider myself to be reckless behind the wheel. That being said. I have changed clothes completely while driving, received roadhead, and even pleased a female in the passenger side with fingerwork. Some less challenging things include reading emails on my blackberry and sending short ones or text messages. I don't think eating, drinking coffee or talking on a cell phone are things that too many people have not done. If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass.

Now snow-skiing, I've taken my share of falls and gaffes. Once while riding the lift, I hung my poles on the bar in front of me. Approaching the half-way get-off point, I wondered why the guy in the booth was waving and pointing at me. Chair goes over off-ramp, both poles get bent at 90 degree angles. D'OH! And another time I was fast approaching the end of a run near the line of skiers getting on the lift when I noticed I was about to get beheaded by the nearly invisible rope marking the line-up lanes! Cracked one of my ski boots down the back and broke a pole when I instinctively fell backwards to one side. No injuries. More stuff to buy. Snow skiing I have an exciting one. Don't ASSume that because you are sitting on the chair lift that you can be comfortable kicking your skiis back and forth to deal with boredom. Sometimes that chairlift could be close enough to the terrain underneath that with a pair of 200's on, you might get them caught on a rock and that can lunge you foward off the chair lift. If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass. Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound. Nothing to eat, no books to read.

It's possible to put an impeller on backwards. When this happens no water will cool your boat engine it will overheat and the impeller spinning without lubricant will burn and break to pieces. Keep the propeller on a boat away from shallow water. All it takes is one tap on a high rock to put a small dent on it and make it useless. If you know there is a leak on your automobile airconditioning system, don't ASSume its the more expensive parts that are leaking if you can't find the leak. It could be a $20 pipe. Changing the transmission fluid on a standard shit car is difficult. Strongly consider paying somebody to doing before taking on this project. When learning to carve steep on slalom turns (waterskiing) ask the boat driver to go only as fast as is needed to keep you above the water. wiping out at 40 hurts signficantly more than wiping out at 28.

On a national radio show a while ago they were discussing a military operation. Some guy called in claiming to be ex-special forces. The radio host asked him what his MOS was. The caller's response was; "We went in, got the job done, and got out." Is there anyone in the military that doesn't know what an MOS is? The caller didn't seem to know the difference between MO and MOS. To my disappointment, the radio host seemed to know the guy was fake, but didn't call him out on it.

I think that article accurately describes the differences between cats and dogs. But in my experience more than a quarter of those generalizations are not even close to true. I won't go line by line, but I will just point out one thing in the artical that I thought was a joke. It said that dog people were messy where as cat people were neat. That was pretty funny. I am not trying to suggest that dog owners are always clean. But I think its far more likely that a cat lady's house is going to be a nasty place that stinks to high heaven.

When a person (especially a man) has a dog for a pet, it shows that person know how to take care of obligations, be nurturing and is not purely self-absorbed in his life. -------------------------------------------- I think this statement is to broad. I would agree with it, if it specified more. Many people have dogs, but I would still say they are not necessarily good people. For example I hate it when I see a dog in the bed of a pick up truck. So many dogs have jumped out of the back of a moving pick up trucks and died doing so. Those dog owners are certainly not showing any hint of responsibility. I could go on and cite many other examples of selfish people who happen to own dogs. But I do agree, that somebody who is a loyal dog owner, loves his dog and takes the responsibility of being a dog owner seriously is probably a person with a good heart.

I really don't see the mystery there at all. In 1984 Mondale was leading Reagan in the polls the day before Reagan won 49 states. The polls showed Al Gore winning in 2000 and Kerry winning in 2004. I don't know of one single instance in which the polls showed the Republican candidate ahead. The polls are clearly titled to the left. I have often wondered why Democrats continue to use this same strategy inspite of its failure rate. ACORN already having been busted with election fraud and being sued in 14 different states tells me that the Obama camp is not so sure that they are actually winning. To be honest I am concerned about this. Bill Clinton's presidency was a national embarassment, but we were able to survive as a country. If through the use of election fraud and a lot of clueless people who can't see Obama's Socialist policies for what they are, he were to get elected, then I don't think this country could ever be the same.

if you think o'reilly is "extreme right wing", you either haven't objectively watched him much or at all, or you looking from WAY over on the left. yes he is on the right, but he's far from extreme. i want to see this movie. the idea of a michael moore type character getting slapped around along with a pro america theme is appealing to me. it will still have to be funny for me to enjoy it. i'll probably have to wait for it to hit pay per view though, i'll be using my babysitter time for huning the rest of this month. It was awesome! I saw it on opening night last Friday. It's amazing how fast the hardcore lefties rise to attack that which clearly shows their senseless logic for what it is. I would tell you some of the jokes but don't want to spoil it. I highly recomend finding a way way to see it. I think this election is really exposing many posters real position, if it hadn't been exposed already. McCain is undoubtedly one of the most liberal Republicans in Congress. I can't think of any other Republicans more in the center than McCain. Obama on the other hand is, as shown by his short voting record and his speeches one of, if not the most liberal Democrat in Congress. So we have a guy in the Center and a far left loon. Still we have all the clearly partisan Democrats on this site spouting all the Democrat talking points, defending their loon, absurdly trying to paint John McCain as a far right candidate, and at the same time, claiming objectivity and denying their political affiliation. What a joke! If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass. Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound. Nothing to eat, no books to read.

Interesting, I just did some googling and noticed that I never made the association with 10Gig ethernet being specifically capable of handling an OC-192. The only company that I have seen has come close to filling their 10 Gig links with significantly more than 1 Gig of data is Sprint. I am sure there are others like ATT, I just hadn't come across it. I have yet to see a 40 Gig ethernet link and actually I would expect the next step to be 100 Gig ethernet. If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass.

Well we know that and oc-3 is 155mbits. So then an oc-768 would be 256 times that ( 39680). So yeah 39Gigabits/per sec. But does anybody know how much that will cost monthly?

It's not like they have a bunch of DS3s running into a server room. More likely, they are operating some kind of OC192 or OC748 to manage the massive traffic in and out of iTunes. Plus, there are real live people that are managing the content, hardware, cooling of the servers. A lot of that is outsourced to be sure, but it still costs...I once sold a SONET OC12 to a client in Oregon, the price of that beauty was $15K/month...not including carrier access (which added another $5K). ----------------------------------------- Wow, I must be behind the times. I recall back in 2000 a DS3 costing $11K a month and an OC-192 being described as enough bandwidth for a small country. When did they come out with this OC-748 that you speak of and how much is that currently costing monthly? Inquiry minds want to know. If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass.

I was going to post this link yesterday but didn't want to deal with the partisan denials coming from BillVon, Kallend and others so I held back. But I figure I will post it anyway for the few open minded individuals who could look at the facts and learn from them. Then of course I could just ignore the blatant partisan denials. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxgSubmiGt8 If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass.

\ Hey its not a bad thing to express an opinion. I really don't think I disrespected him by it. And although I don't believe it will be an accurate representation, you or him are welcome to state what you believe my real positions are. However, I have 5 minutes to get to a meeting in which I will be stuck for the rest of the day. So see you all If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass.

Not to get involved in an internet argument. But from years of reading your posts, I will just make a stated observation, as to a more correct discription of you. -------------------------------------- Party - Extremely partisan Democrat, but like most will not even admit that he always votes Democrat. Faction - Conservative never unless its with regard to something that his loyal Democrat party has not stated and opinion on. If the Democrats have a position on something leave it to him to explain why this is the "correct" opinion to the rest of us. liberal always sometimes for the good often for the radical, libertarian sometimes, (I'll say ok to the Libertarian description but only because it doesn't say anything, Libertarian is by definition fiscal conservative social liberal). Legislation preferences - see US Constitution in the few instances when the Democrats believe they could use it their advantage. Otherwise like every other Democrat, read to shred every last copy of the Constitution. Energy policy - too long to list here. Yes has extremely bought into all the Environmentalist B.S. After all that hysteria has been completely proven to the mainstream, will probably live in denial for still another 20 years, before maybe considering opening up his mind. Belief systems - Capitalism sometimes, socialism sometimes, communism sometimes. (Yeah I will add that I would expect my reasonable U.S. citizens to know better than to think that Communism or Socialism would ever be a good system. But at least he is honest in saying that he could line up behind Communists or Socialists as he clearly can. If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass.

I'll play this game. USA,Party- Republican (like the some ideas of the Liberitarian but will not waste my vote because the gravest danger I see to the U.S. is the Democrats) Faction- fiscal conservative /social liberal within reason. Want to do drugs? Great! Want to live with your gay partner and have a Civil Union which grants you all the legal rights of Marriage? Great!, I don't believe the government should be involved in marriages period? But to redefine marriage as something other than between a man and a woman is B.S. too. I also think Common law should be abolished to, that is just goverment regulating the bedroom as well. It would be interesting to define gay common law. Legislation preferences-Pro Firearm,Against killing babies in the womb (call it whatever pretty words you want that is what it is, there is a reason why the crowd who wants to keep this barbaric practice legal does not want the rest of us to be allowed to use pictures),Free Speech,Privacy that doesn't interfere with National security, For the right to hunt but against it personally. Energy policy- Drill! Drill! Drill! and look for alternative energy simultaneously. Belief systems-Capitalist and Agnostic. If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass.

He voted against a bill that was titled as being against partial birth abortions, but in fact was worded as being against ALL abortions. In other words, he's smart enough to not fall for simple-minded tricks. I'll admit that I have not bothered to pull out the bill and read it. I am sure like most bill it would be hundreds pages long. But I have heard enough on the matter to know that your statement is not true. I have heard his supporters try to suggest that it had provisions in it to do other things that he was opposed to, but you are the first person I have heard suggest that it would indeed ban ALL abortions. I am pretty sure you got that wrong but welcome you to back that up with a serious source, that is not some waco liberal blog. If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass.

But Mommy why does Obama want to kill BABIES, who survive murder/abortion attempts? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kINmB6Jj3bc Uh, yeah, I'm sure that video is perfectly documented and is not twisting any truths whatsoever. Lemme just say you really need to find more objective sources. I didn't need to see the video to know his stand on the matter. I have heard him trying to defend his dispicable vote on his own. The video puts that facts together nicely for the ignorant, who have don't know anything about his positions. Simple question is, do you deny that he voted against a partial birth abortion ban? Or do you deny that he stated that a doctor not having the right to kill a botched-abortion baby born alive, would infringe on a woman's right to choose? If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass.

What is it that you don't like about the job he's doing? Maybe he a few of these facts below: (read the rest in http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/77500/barack_hussein_obama_jr_defends_partialbirth.html?cat=9 ) In 1999 he was the only Illinois State Senator to vote against a bill barring early release for (criminal) sex offenders. He voted against filtering pornography on school and library computers and he voted for sex education for kindergarten children through the 5th grade. Also, in 2001, he voted “present” on a bill to keep pornographic book and video stores and strip clubs from setting up within 1,000 feet of schools and churches. Just as unsettling is his voting record on abortion. Twice, Obama voted against bills prohibiting tax funding of abortions. In February 2004, his wife, Michelle, sent out a fundraising letter, which actually stated her concern over the rise of conservatism in the Country, and that the ‘so-called’ partial-birth abortion was a legitimate medical procedure that should be protected.

Well, my mind is still open until I learn more about her (and McCain). But from what little I know about her now, my opinion is that she is not qualified to be President, and therefore not qualified to be VP either. And of course the creationist thing is a pretty big put-off. I'm leaning toward Obama anyway, but there is something weird about McCain's VP choice - seems to be more strategy to get him elected rather than strategy to do a good job running the country. Yeah I totally know what you mean. And what's up with McCain being to scared to have a debate with Obama, always speaking with everything scripted before. And every time somebody asks him a complicated question giving such a stupid moronic answer he displays his inexperience so much that he imediately needs to retract his position the next day. Oh wait thats not McCain, that Obama. Hmmm, and to think the guy Obama picked for his VP (Biden) just a few months ago on a national debate practically said Obama was a joke and said that he would rather run against McCain or as McCain's vp that with Obama. You know with me being completely independent about the whole thing, I think I might be leaning toward McCain now. If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass.

What have you got against rice & beans? Nothing, I try to make them part of most of my meals. But there is a difference between being part of and being all of. I also include beef, poultry, pork, fish or some kind of meat with that. However, it is common when people are close to runing out of money to have rice and beans alone.
