Cream on the inside, clean on the outside. Yeah buddy!

Don't think so, still a cost/benefit analysis being done, the same one you hear all the time in political elections: One vote won't change anything, so why should I bother?

There's a concept I haven't heard since some political science classes. It might be more minor but dear god was there a lot of boring writing about it. Political philosophers since Aristotle have been arguing against direct democracy. Aristotle was specifically concerned about regular people who didn't have the time or skills to be able to govern, making it rule by a bunch of people who weren't good at ruling and didn't have time or ability to get good at it. That was a huge oversimplification, but if you're interested in why direct democracies don't work, Aristotle formed the basis for a lot of arguments in the Politics. There is an interesting idea that I think would be terribly hard to implement and not realistic called "open source governance": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_governance . I think expanded policy writing access would be cool but it opens up a huge can of unsolvable worms with voting & policy review, as well as just too much access I agree with Tom's point on rule for the party nowadays, but DD isn't the way to go (that'd create tyranny of the uninformed, or more likely, tyranny of the media opinions even more than today). I think changing SMSP to ensure a bunch of small, competing parties would be the way to go, so each segment has a small, changing amount of representation that all has to work together to make a majority is better, but its much more unstable than our current governmental system, be that as it may.

I lost $110 in one game of acey-ducey. That pot was crazy, got up to 300 some.

What can I say, I work with ticketing systems in my job.

...which he already said still crashed the browser.

.... which requires opening Firefox and loading the homepage first. Easiest thing to do is create a new file on the desktop called blah.html, open that with Firefox, then change the homepage/install addblock/etc. I have a feeling that its probably a flash ad though that is causing flash to crash, which is crashing Firefox. You can probably also go edit some prefs files or the registry to change the homepage, but doing what I said above should be easier. (Or do what fingon said, who beat me while I was typing this lol)

Ah, cool. Those cars are not bad, I was looking at one of them when I settled on my current car. Have a couple friends who own them, and they love em.

Not you, lol, the car: http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/12/detroit...y-as-the-sedan/

You

girlfriend is the key word

Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too happy. Are you gay? Get a lancer.

I bought my first one back in February of 08, bought an 08 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS, and love it; great price/performance ratio, and has all the technology I wanted. Props to Cincy for helping me decide.

CPS here offers something similar, but I'll be damned if I let the electric company control my AC.

Hell yeah it is.

Duh, I work for a hosting company.

Open World, 3rd person

Anyone else addicted? I LOVE IT.

This MUST be because Marshawn got slammed Sat night!

You haven't read ARTICLE XIV SECTION 5 have you?

Correct, teams aren't required. However it is a suggestion listed in the CBA. If you want to look it up look for ARTICLE XIV SECTION 5. Of course he won't care about games, he'll be homeless! Thats why ARTICLE XIV SECTION 5 recommends making sure your players have places to stay.

I'm sorry but its scary that you are laughing at something so basic and tragic.

I agree, its extremely embarrassing. He should sit for the whole season. If you read the language of the last CBA, while its not a requirement for teams to provide houses to players, one suggestion in there is to make sure your players can get a house before you sign them to a contact. Unfortunately, the Bills didn't do that and now we fans look like idiots. They should follow the CBA to the T, no need for the Bills to screw something that easy up.
