    Wow, good comeback lil guy. I'll give you another chance to explain how privatization relates in any way to Henry Ford. I'm sure you won't, but I thought I would give you a chance.

    Um, do you know what "privatization" means? Because that made no sense at all.

    help swing a swing voter

    This thread should be interesting. Honestly. I'm very interested in why people would vote for Bush, other than "he's a Republican" and "he's not Kerry".

    Home Theater Receivers...what to buy?

    My remote is a fairly cheap Radio Shack remote ($20), but it was sort of hacked so you can program it with your PC and a special cable. They don't make that remote anymore, but I think you can get a decent remote with macros for < $50. I think the best route is just make your parents bite the...

    Home Theater Receivers...what to buy?

    Up converting from composite to component is expensive. That's why only the high end receivers have it. A stand-alone converter box is around $300. So it's considerably more than just an "extra circuit". But I agree with your sentiment, which is "why does it have to be so hard". I think the...

    Home Theater Receivers...what to buy?

    Be careful with how the video inputs/outputs are setup. I don't think that the receiver will convert between different types. For instance, if you put the VCR into the receiver using a composite signal, you are going to have to run a compostite OUT to the TV. the receiver will not convert...

    2yr old toddler killed by parent in SUV

    But doesn't it bother you that it ISN'T SAFER? I can understand wanting your wife to be comfortable driving her car. My wife is the same way. I guess I would only feel comfortable knowing that my wife and kids were ACTUALLY safer, not that she FEELS safer. Not trying to be a dick about it...

    To use Depleted Uranium or Not?

    True enough. Maybe we should build missiles and fill the warheads with booze and cigarettes. Sure your house is gone, but you'll feel better after a beer and a cig.

    To use Depleted Uranium or Not?

    It really does depend on what you read. There is still so much research being done. One thing to note is that while DU is 40% less radioactive than natural, most places on earth don't have hundreds of tons of natural uranium laying around (like there are in places like Bosnia and the Gulf now).

    I didn't know about the meet. I might have to travel for business that weekend, but otherwise I'll try and make it.

    Looking for info and opinions...

    Do you like working on cars, and have a lot of extra money to fix things? Then by all means get the Audi. Otherwise run. Trust me on this.

    To use Depleted Uranium or Not?

    You should do some research on depleted uranium then. There is a lot of debate on the dangers of it and a lot of testing still going on in areas where a lot of it has been used (Gulf, Bosnia). I'm not really sure what to think, but I guess I'm glad I don't have to be near it (for a lot of reasons).

    To use Depleted Uranium or Not?

    Well frankly I shouldn't have said WMD since I hate that phrase. The UN passed a couple resolutions/papers (1996/16,2002/38,1997/36) that groups DU weapons with nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. So make of that what you will. I believe part of their findings were that DU weapons...

    To use Depleted Uranium or Not?

    It's also radioactive. Not as much as "regular" uranium, but still radioactive. According to the UN they are illegal and classified as WMD. So our use of them against Iraq is quite ironic, at best.
