"you can never have too much ram". This is a popular misconception. Every Os that microsft has put out has had ram liitations and I belive at least before the miriad of patches was 2GB for XP, so anything above what the OS can adress is a waste.

I love it when people argue against personal responsibility. Beer is an inaniment objet unless acted apon it can cause nothing. In other words it can not cause even 1 accident unless you choose to drink it. The problem is most people either don't know or don't care what their limitations are.

There are a few reasons I like Farscape. The first being it took the Humans in space concept in a whole new way. Instead of us being a galatic power one lone astronaught is dropped smack dab in the middle of a part of space that humans would not be considered a super power in. One human eeking out an existance in scenarios that he could never train for. It was a fresh look at a tried and true concept. The second is the relationships that developed between the characters over time it was great, not one of the reaccuring characters was really generic or throw away ala Star Trek or Star Wars. Lastly was I thought the writing was great and kept the show interesting. I also liked Babylon five because it was Star Trek with a more here and now flare. It would be like if what we see happening in the world today was happening in space and instead of different countries it was different species.

Since you seemed to miss the whole point of the post. He would have fell under distribution charges with a manditory minimum sentence of 5 yaers. The important word is manditory the only thing that gets a lighter sentence is if you turn informant as pointed out in the earlier quoted article. He did not do that and still git a lighter sentence for his part. Not only that but there were things said that had he not been in the public spotlight would have never been a concern such as. I have yet to see a prosecuter do this for a normal person unless they were turning states witness. I have yet to see a judge give an shorter than minimum term to any normal person for those same thing, and a lot of people admit their guilt hoping for that exact thing. So please tell me how he was treated like everyone else again, and remember in the US there are manditory minimum sentences that must be served if convicted on drug charges.

First there was the strange statement that the witness was a criminal so he couldn't be used or trusted when we know this happens all the time. Even a man with money and a good law team would face a hard time if it was levied against them. If you doubt the scrutiny this case would be under and the circus it could turn into just look at the crap going on in the Michael Jackson case. Oh thats right everyone is allowed to moonwalk on the car that brought them to court. Copyright

I like how Volo said I know nothing but doesn't understand were I come from. Take your pick Volo of my relatives and they are either police or corrections officers. While there are altenative methods of sentencing, weekend incarceration, house arrest and of course probation they except for probation are rarely given esecially in drug cases. Most normal people facing those odds goes to jail hands down without a say when he goes. As for the judge having said what he did about the informant ha what a crock of **** as most of the cases start with or turn informants to get at bigger fish.(Which they are then used as witnesses, why because they have first the first hand knowledge) Basically the judge said I don't belive you talked to Lewis on the phone, or delivered to him before, because you sell drugs.

1.) Man was this a long time ago. If I remember correctly it was a guy that was hurt or killed or lost early on in the show thus forcing the Princess into action. Remember the mentor was charged with protecting the Princess so he didn't want her to help in any way. 2.) There were actually quite a few Voltrons, but the one you were taling about had futuristic vehicles and yes didn't look as cool. I think he was just in a differen't part of the universe as there was one or 2 episodes were the lion voltron made an appearance. You want to talk about good shows how about Thundar the Barbarian, Space Ghost, Birdman, Galtar, and Mask man the eighties were a great time to grow up in.

This shows how truly pathetic our legal system is. If you are famous you have your own set of rules, and penatlies that normal america doesn't get. It happens with all of them Robert Downy Jr., Michael Irvin, Darryl Strawberry, the list goes on.

What else does the country give? I am just curious becasue even though I am not sure what welfare doles out money wise I an tell you here in Illinois the people using it get a link card that will buy all esential food products. (it excludes luxury items like veil, lobster, alcohol) So even though the money might not be exact it might even out because of the fact we are given a food allowence seperate from the check. As I said earlier also this might change from state to state.

Rosbjerg in America ; or maybe it is as lcalised as states; the amount of our unemployment depends on how much money you make on your job. Take me for instance a union laborer in the off season I get 400.00 a weak that translates out to 1600.00 a month. when I was only making 12.65 an hour I got 300.00 thats 1200 a month. You might have been better off comparing to our social program wellfare.

But you learned spanish as a second language correct? Could the same be said if a Mexican was talking to a Spaniard? Europe is an interesting place I studied german in school and know there are 2 dialects of german.

Understandable but for all intents and purposes wouldn't mexican spanish and Castillian be the same as American english and Proper english? Only very minor differences kind of like an american talking to a brit we both speak english but don't always understand what the other has said, especially when slang is used. We being somewhat ignorant of other cultures lump it all together people from Mexico and Spain both speak spanish even if there are minor differences.

You wan to know whats really sad my sister in law's parents ar from mexico and speak very little english she translated for them most of her life. She took spanish in school and the teacher continuallytold her she was wrong that words she used didn't exist and that she used them wrong. Pretty bold considering she was second generation Mexican.

I concur with this having the Nazis as your cieling for Authoritairan is a little harsh.

Since it took you so long to post I came up with some numbers from the military and some intersting facts. Taken from olivedrab.com In the late 1990s, an Army and Marine Corps team produced the Interceptor Multi-Threat Body Armor System that provided improved protection while weighing about ten pounds less than its predecessor, the Personal Armor Systems, Ground Troops (PASGT) flak vest. The Interceptor system was put into quantity production for troops serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Interceptor Multi-Threat Body Armor System is made up of two main modular components: the outer tactical vest (OTV) and the small-arms protective inserts (SAPI). The unisex Kevlar OTV is also equipped with removable throat and groin protectors. With the front and back SAPI ceramic plates inserted, the vest can stop 7.62 mm rounds. Origins of the Interceptor Flak Vest Interceptor Body Armor stems from the 1994-vintage 24-pound Ranger Body Armor (RBA) designed by the U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick, MA) at the request of the 75th Ranger Regiment. The 9-pound RBA vest gives the wearer high quality handgun ballistic and fragmentation protection. With the addition of 7.5-pound aluminum oxide ceramic armor plates placed in the front and back chest pockets, the RBA wearer is further protected from armor piercing rifle ammunition. The success of RBA led to a materials research program to achieve the same performance with less weight. The RBA vests continued in Army inventory through the early phase of the Iraq War, until replaced by Interceptor. The Interceptor Flak Vest Goes to War The Interceptor Multi-Threat Body Armor System went into production in 1999 under a five-year contract awarded by U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center to Point Blank Body Armor of Oakland Park, FL. The new Interceptor body armor is being worn by soldiers and Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Army and Marines rushed to get enough body armor into Iraq and Afghanistan by December 2003 for everyone who needed it, as fast as it came off the assembly line. For many Marines, the PASGT flak vest is giving way to the new Interceptor body armor-an effective and highly valued piece of gear in the global war on terrorism. Because the Interceptor body armor was in relative short supply, deploying service members got priority at their points of issue. Accounting for two armor plates for each Marine in the ground combat element, the Marines fielded 94,056 plates for active forces and 39,284 for reserve forces. Interceptor Flak Vest Ballistic Protection The Interceptor's inter-changeable components give troops the ability to dress to the level of a particular threat. By itself, the Interceptor vest insulates a soldier from shrapnel and 9-mm pistol rounds. When the protective Small Arms Protective Inserts (SAPI) are added, the system acts as a ballistic barrier to 7.62-mm rifle ammunition. The PASGT flak vest only offered protection against fragmentation. The Interceptor outer tactical vest consists of a very fine Kevlar weave that will stop 9mm pistol rounds. Webbing on the front and back of the vest permits attaching such equipment as grenades, walkie-talkies and pistols. The Small Arms Protective Insert (SAPI) is made of a boron carbide ceramic with a spectra shield backing, an extremely hard material. It stops, shatters and catches any fragments up to a 7.62 mm round with a muzzle velocity of 2,750 feet per second. It's harder than Kevlar. The four pound high-technology plates cost approximately $350 each to produce, a considerable cost reduction achieved by Army-industry cooperation. The vest comes with neck and crotch protection attachments. It will work with all current and anticipated load carrying equipment. With the fasteners along the right side, the vest still protects the front of the body even when open. The vest also has a quick release feature, so if the soldier needs to drop the plates, one tug and they
