  1. I think the plaintiffs are ignoring the phrase "unpredictable by the user". You don't have to outrun the bear.
  2. Apparently they're making progress without gun control. Who'da thought. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/11/us/chicago-homicides-fall-by-34-percent-so-far-this-year.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 quote from the article: You don't have to outrun the bear.
  3. Four more months. Still plenty of time to make good on this. You don't have to outrun the bear.
  4. Congratulations. And keep the ball-and-chain jokes coming. Wives love those. You don't have to outrun the bear.
  5. Just to emphasize the good advice already given: If you want a bargain, don't look for a house with a problem, look for a seller with a problem. Don't just look at the house. Look at the area around it. Imagine driving out of or into the neighborhood during rush hour. Imagine that you need to go to the store late at night. An inconvenient neighborhood can ruin a great house. My advice is don't get an adjustable rate mortgage, but you might get different opinions on that. You don't have to outrun the bear.
  6. I've wondered about this. How did Satan come to own the kingdoms of the world that he could offer those to anybody? God made the world and everything in it. Did he mortgage it to Satan? Did he sell it, or give it away? If so, why? Implicit in this temptation, as in the Garden of Eden, is that Satan has a lot to offer, but I don't understand how he acquired the right to grant things to people. Did God, like Bill Booth, just decide not to exercise patent rights on things he created? Someone please enlighten me on this point. You don't have to outrun the bear.
  7. How about looking for traffic before deployment, then hold a heading during deployment. Don't worry about where your legs are. Just pick an object in the distance and hold a heading on it while you pull and count to 5. You don't have to outrun the bear.
  8. Not if it's delayed again. One step at a time, young Jedi. edited to add: Every post in this thread ( with the possible exception of this one) is spot on. Y'all should get an award. You don't have to outrun the bear.
  9. Same here. I've been passenger six or seven times for people getting ratings. Really a spooky feeling. You don't have to outrun the bear.
  10. but without Tequila You don't have to outrun the bear.
  11. This should probably be answered by the USPA - or you could just mail the application and see what response you get. My guess is there's no language that specifically forbids it, but doing so would be in exceedingly poor taste. You don't have to outrun the bear.
  12. Just looking around on the web, there are several balloon companies that offer night flights. Hot air balloons fly by visual flight rules, so with proper lights, night flight is legal. Most of these guys seem to use a pre-dawn take-off so they can land after the sun comes up. You don't have to outrun the bear.
  13. This won't affect the whisky, will it? You don't have to outrun the bear.
  14. "Obama to Limit Power Plant Emissions" full story http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-23032890 This should cost the President's party some votes. Lets see what Republicans can do to cushion his fall. You don't have to outrun the bear.
  15. Life imitates South Park. You don't have to outrun the bear.

    Pop Tarts

    Here's a man who knows his pop tarts. You don't have to outrun the bear.
  17. I used to run Linux on my desktop. The corporate guys didn't have to support it. When a guy took his laptop home, let his kids play games on it, then brought it back and "pushed out" a virus to all 4,000 of his co-workers, guess who didn't get the virus and had no interruption in service. You don't have to outrun the bear.
  18. based on your post, i googled "sandwich looks like buddha", just for kicks. result - 6.3 million hits, none of which actually show a sandwich that looks like Buddha. The internet is wonderful. You don't have to outrun the bear.
  19. I was just reading the President's statement, where the intelligence community assured him that Syria has used chemical weapons, and thinking, "This sure sounds familiar". my thoughts: There are about 100 different Syrian rebel groups, most of whom hate the U.S. and Israel. Syria is right next to Israel. What could go wrong here? You don't have to outrun the bear.
  20. Well, there was this buddy of mine in grammar school named Nostradamus. Truthfully, one of the most worrisome things about this type of program is that three-letter agencies will become so focused on this sort of mindless information gathering that they will replace a useful art with an expensive and counter-productive science. You don't have to outrun the bear.
  21. Let's be more positive: If you don't marry someone in California, you don't inherit all their issues. (I'm a glass-is-half-full kind of guy). You don't have to outrun the bear.
  22. Watching President Obama on TV right now speaking about how insurance premiums will go down when I can choose among 5 insurance companies instead of just 2. Somehow he misses the fact that mandates for insurance companies such as coverage for pre-existing illness will make rates go up, and that the underlying cost of health care puts a floor on insurance rates no matter how many insurance companies are involved. Does he not understand economics, or does he think we don't? Rant over - as you were. You don't have to outrun the bear.
  23. It's a 19th century computer mouse. Before plastic was invented, they were all made of wood. You don't have to outrun the bear.
  24. Speculation: Verizon refused to give up records without a court order, so one was obtained. Other phone companies complied when asked, so no order was needed. You don't have to outrun the bear.
  25. In a perfect world, Jodi Arias and Andrew Weiner would have struck up a romance and the news channels would never run short of material. You don't have to outrun the bear.
