loki

just as a fun/funny thought. why not? a 2.8L v8 twin turbo with ~300 hp and torque, maybe a tad more than that if it was not tuned for economy. yes i realize the size of the engine would be kinda outlandish, ..using the 10% displacement difference, it'd take a ~3.1L CIB engine to make that power. lol a little too micro-block for you dwight? haha shoudl put out a tad more torque than the v6 of that size... rev better? damn, this is seeming totally stupid. oh well, thoughts? how about a 4.2L v12? towards 500hp? what.. it's been done?.... awwwww

happy birthday! what's late 20's? 7 or 8?

hahah

think there was something similar happened in CO, but it's a federal law about "Campaign activity" that was from the mccain feingold (?) campaign finance reform? not sure if it's been changed, but pretty easy to see how having to at least audit yourself (or face the consequences) on one's "politiking" puts a huge damper on freedom of political speech.

clinton did sign something saying we did basically conquered hawaii and forced them to become a state...

not blaming the officers.... they acted. sadly liek the soldiers in "collateral murder" it's the lawmakers fault for pushing them into those situations, but it's still the officers' duty to follow through or reject the assignment. the law is supposed to protect people and their property, this is the opposite of that.

http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sea/1619190174.html Dear University Alumni Office, I'm sorry to hear that the university's $750 million endowment has fallen in value to $500 million because of the recession and because your bank died. I'm also sorry to hear that you're dealing with declining enrollment due to the fact that middle-class families are no longer willing or able to bet their homes on a $45,000-a-year higher education for their children. I really am. So, what I want to know is, why are you wasting money on glossy fundraising brochures full of meaningless synonyms for the word "Excellence"? And, why are you sending them to ME? Yes, I know that I got a master's degree at your fine institution, but that master's degree hasn't done jack $h! for me since I got it! I have been unemployed for the past TWO YEARS and I am now a professional resume-submitter, sending out dozens of resumes a month to employers, and the degree I received in your hallowed halls is at the TOP OF IT and it doesn't do a f@#king thing. You know, maybe if you wanted a little bit of money from me (and these days you'd get about $3) maybe you should send me a fancy color brochure admitting your role in the bubble economics that got us all in to this mess. For example, since 1987, higher education expenses have gone up 450 percent, while personal income in this country has gone up 87 percent, making tuition IMPOSSIBLE to afford without special financing. But, during this time, you were thriving because people could come up with the cash in two ways: 1. Get a home equity loan and use the inflated value of their house to pay for their kid to get drunk and/or raped at your school and then lose the house when the market crashed. 2. Get a federal loan. HAD IT OCCURRED TO YOU THAT NEITHER OF THESE SOURCES OF MONEY ACTUALLY EXIST? THAT IT WAS BEING MANUFACTURED BECAUSE YOU MADE PEOPLE THINK THAT ONE OF YOUR DEGREES WAS NECESSARY TO CLIMB TO THE TOP OF THE BUBBLE? Oh yes, federal loans. I've got $40,000 of those, which are in "forebearance" right now because I'm unemployed, meaning that the feds are paying the interest for a while, which is convenient for me, but not for our government which is now owned by China. You know, the idea behind federal loans was that it would allow more students to attend your university, not let you INFLATE your tuition to obscene levels! I mean, what the f@#k were you spending the $16,000 per semester on, anyway? I was in a public policy program, so that meant we got to sit in classrooms and listen to Professor God up at the front of the lecture hall glorify Himself and Creation as He saw it and talk about how much smarter he was than anyone else and how much he'd learned at MIT and the RAND Corporation. Really, that's about all you did for us -- gave us a lecture hall, gave us an arrogant bastard to listen to, and gave us a room full of computers we could use sometimes, and you gave us a degree that employers look at and say "This guy knows how to write reports. Amusing." And I will be paying for this privilege until I am 51 years old. So I'm sorry that the economy's been rough on you. Maybe, if you wanted to save a little money, you could stop printing and sending brochures to my parents' house (oh yeah, that's where I live because I can't afford rent on ANYTHING). And, maybe I'll donate a little bit of money to you in 2030, when I get the loans for your imaginary education PAID OFF! Sincerely yours, Alumnus

i agree... and more so about the logo

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20004030-503544.html?tag=cbsnewsLeadStoriesAreaMain poll: 51% think the law is about right. only 36% think it goes too far....

I agree to that next paragraph. quotas are just a hint at real economic planning... yes, economically you could look at immigrants as goods moving in the economy, why would you stifle that like sugar is?

no... not really. just have the original iso with a hack to not have to have the dvd.

"real powerful pc to play it"....gotta have a semi new video card if you play on huge worlds... video memory will run out if you only have 128Mb. i know. lol it's a good game, 5 is in the works.

"We are called on today to make a basic choice. The choice is between collapse or salvation," ...yeah, salvation by becoming a puppet, and probably causing a huge loss of their industry because of the tax changes. "The IMF's lead negotiator in Athens, Poul Thomsen, praised Greece's "draconian reforms" that he said could help "shock and awe markets and re-establish confidence." The rest of the money would come from the Washington, DC-based IMF." hahaha. draconian reforms - 2.(often lowercase) rigorous; unusually severe or cruel: Draconian forms of punishment. ....and Greece was once the "pinnacle of democracy" anyone ever research what limits the EU bank placed on countries that joined? i wish i still had my powerpoint with some of that research on it... not sure i still have it. the EU showing more confederacy than their own sovereignty. ...i pushing this to the politics? sorry.

so... an air conditioned room? lol

think that's a tad ahead of our tech right now. lol

i thought power suits were in reserch and were, maybe 10 years away from first field tests? or something liek that, you know, mecha suits...

hehe

i'd rather have my wagon back and make it a sleeper.... either turbo or a ls 1,2,3 or 4. and a 5-6 speed too. lol

happy birthday!

i'd say that's a tad catastrophic. toyota's diesel! LOL!

my stocks... a little mixed, but my silver stock i own is ~155% of what i bought it at, too bad i didn't funnel more $ to it since i bought it. it's price is above what silver is at on the "market" / ounce. still waiting to hear about a job, to get an interview, with a global company that has a place locally. there were several hundred that applied. congrats on the upswing 84, hope it doesn't swing the other way too soon.

sounds like great praise, for what was supposed to be a saturn. we better get this, and maybe stage 1 & 2 kits too.

yes.. what's going on in Juarez is horrible... surprised texas hasn't done something like that. it is a failure of the federal gov, both here and in Mexico, and too bad alot of it has to do with drug laws, also how ineffective mexico is as trying to bring business to it to keep workers in their country.

nice. hahah. pretty sure the second is from a banned sprite or 7up commercial. lol

why the prohibition on allowing people to easily legally work? yes i used prohibition on purpose. do i need to say anymore about it?
