DV- For a country which is trying to deny evolution exists, its kinda funny that our compassionate pencilneck economy is getting more & more 'survival of the fittest'. Good luck with the changes! ps what state are you in now? confusion?

My Notebook "healed" itself

All systems boot correct, sound and mouse work.

I HAD turned it of for a while during my tests.
So maybe a thermic problem or parts not fixed.

Strange things happen...

---------------
Concerning Jobs and others:
I am without one since 5 years now, just made some small jobs payed by a special program from the state.
But though I don't have lot of money and have to look for what I buy and what not (no beef, just porc), we still live relatively good here in germany even without a job.

I think the states are very fascinating, but the hard and rough social system makes me quite happy, we don't have these circumstances here (yet, there are tendencies however).

I wish you good luck in finding an acceptable solution. You can organize with no work if you find something sensefull to do (like working on Puppy),but if you don't know what to buy to eat or how to pay a room it is really a human catastrophe for the person itself and for a modern state too...

OK, I like Germany, I was forcibly removed from Germany by some loving American GI, and forced to eat hamburgers at McDonalds. I spent the first seven years of my life in Germany, and hated hamburgers (ground meat at that time & place had small bone chunks and grisle ) So I only had maybe two hamburgers in Germany (no McD's at that time). So we come to the states, drive forever to go anywhere, messy looking streets, flowerless yards and McDonalds. My mom who had not eaten at McD's in seven years wanted to show us American Food. My sister and I where crying NO HAMBURGERS, and raddled off a few german food items we would rather have, most ending in 'wurst' That cause many people to stare at us in the local McD's
The most active rescearcher for my medical problem is in Ulm.

Gack! What a sorry-ass ragtag bunch we are. Maybe we should start our own country.

lets just take over Tuvalu(.tv). Sunny Island, free internet whos main source of income is the internet and a former British island, English speaking. one-half of the way from Hawaii to Australia so it would be a logical place to overtake. Here is the secret government plans

Let us declare independence first.
The details will follow

What sort of system would you like for Puppotonia (The State of Chaos)?

Hail Puppy!

I moved from Kennewick Washington to Beaverton Oregon (right next to Portland). When things slow down a little I hope to go visit the Open Source Developer labs.

Are we going to be self sufficient? Because I don't imagine importing things would be cheap. Maybe we should look at taking a continental place. How about France? That shouldn't be too challenging.... Just kidding

I've actually thought I would be cool to have a giant airship-type deal the size of a city (as in less dense than air, but not suspended directly below a ballon. Keep them on the sides, beneath, and far above). It could have cargo helicopters (or cargo blimps) deliver supplies every so often. Traveling to the surface would be as easy as hang-gliding or parachuting. Getting back could be by small plane, 'copter, jetpack, hot-air ballon, mini-blimp, or by dropping a cable, grabbing on, and getting realed back in.
The cargo blimp(s) and even smaller transport blimps could give added lift when not in use. Power could be delivered through wind-turbines (also usable for navigation), solar power, and a fusion/fission reactor, depending on what has been developed at that time.

The biggest problems would be keeping the thing floating and keeping it supplied. It would be awesome for touring, though. The thing could navigate the globe, visiting any country it chooses. We would be the first modern mobile nation. By parking over various places, supply's would have lower transport costs. Just load up all at once every so often, then go where the wind blows. We'd also have to implement water-conserving systems that could recycle it. That's because water would be the most needed resource, but it's too heavy to store much in advance. Maybe we could even get something to extract water from clouds. That would be very helpful.
Food would be the next hardest commodity to keep up with, but if it's just-add-water, it would be lighter and last longer, and we could recycle the water afterwards. Even if we can't keep the stuff good enough to drink, we could re-use it for flushing toilets and cooling systems that need it.
Another thing that could keep us airborn would be if we could get a material strong and light enough to utilize vacums rather than helium/hydrogen. As for hydrogen, if I remember right you can dilute it with another gas to keep it innert, but I don't remember if it's still less dense than an equal amount of helium.
Also, partial vacums could be used, with the substance inside being helium/hydrogen.

If man were meant to swim, he would have been given gills. Instead, we were made to fly, and thus given hands, imagination, "intelligence," and ambition.

1) wireless fishing drones .. like on line fishing. drone would be solar powered. We already have a puppy linux powered mini-sub=our NAVY
2) Seaweed is good if you know how to serve it, same with cocanuts, bananas
3) market the island with corp. branding The name is TuValu Which is close to True Value like the hardware chain, capital city Funafuti (love the name) could be a tropical flavor of gum.
4) Flash and I could bring Mesquite seeds for food/BBQ, grew well in Hawaii who calls it Kiawe http://www.kiawe.com

If we are so brilliant why can't professional tennis players get the ball over the net every time they serve.

For a country which is trying to deny evolution exists,

I believe we didn't evolve, but I believe that evolution could happen, and may even be how the animals were thought up (God ran a life sim in His head to bypass the time spent, or maybe simply had them evolve with time acceleration or even normally and simplified the Bible for us). As in, we haven't really changed since creation, but in 500000000 years, who knows. We won't be around anyway, as if we haven't reached the biblical end of the world by then, we will have killed ourselves anyway, so it won't matter.
Anyways, that's off topic.

If we are so brilliant why can't professional tennis players get the ball over the net every time they serve.

Because everyone knows that tennis is fake. Besides, that's coordination. I never said we were coordinated

I checked out the cia page and it looked pretty cool. We could hang out there until a giant air-town is feasible. Then I'll set that up, and it could be a city rather than an entire mini-country. As for upkeep, that's what astro-mechs are for.

Speaking of burgers, I actually recently compared preffering using Windows rather than Linux to preffering Micky D's "burgers" to Mom's homemade burgers.
They do have good McGridles, though. A little stingy on the bacon, but still good.

Is it me or does Pizzas' character look like he is peeing in the ocean?

NO.

I've been thinking about switching, maybe now would be a good time....
