An innovative german band
From Wikipedia Einstürzende Neubauten is a German avant-garde music band, originally from West Berlin, formed in 1980....The band is often classified as industrial music. One of their "trademarks" is the use of custom-built instruments, predominantly made out of scrap metal and building tools, and noises, in addition to standard musical instruments. Neubauten has always experimented with sounds, originally in noise music and recently in very diverse styles |

The health care bill and mandatory insurance
As we all know, Congress is voting on the health care bill today. A bill that will include mandating that everyone has to buy health insurance with costly fines and even jail time for those who refuse. I do not have nor do I want health insurance. I've only needed to see a doctor once in the last 20 years and that was for a short lived bout with clinical depression that I'm now cured of. Having to buy health insurance would be a waste for me. A time may come when I'll need it, but I'm a grown adult, not a child, I'm perfectly capable of deciding when I need health insurance. Some would say things along the lines of "what if you suddenly get hurt or sick?" Yeah, there is that possibility, but I'd rather take my chances, however foolish that may seem. My point is that I DON'T WANT IT FORCED ON ME! Even if it wouldn't ruin my credit rating because then I wouldn't be able to pay some of my other bills. Why can't the creators of the bill leave people alone and let people decide for themselves when to get health insurance? Why do they insist on treating us like children who can't make out own decisions? It's no wonder that people are saying things like "Attention congress. Ram health care down our throats and we'll ram it up your ass in 2010!" |

When uninstalling a program
Why can't uninstallers worked like they should by also removing the files that installing a program puts into the registry, putting everything back as if a program had never been on a computer? That files are left in the registry can be a problem if they have been corrupted in which case uninstalling and reinstalling won't work to fix a problem. |

Excellent vid of the Ares I-X flight
An aerial video crew observed the October 28, 2009 Ares I-X test flight from a Cessna Skymaster aircraft positioned approx. 10 nautical miles away from the vehicle at an altitude of 12,000 feet. The videographer used a gyro-stabilized high-definition camera system mounted to the outside of the aircraft to capture this spectacular footage which provides extremely valuable engineering data, and imagery of the recovery sequence in rarely-seen detail. Ares I-X is the first flight test of the Constellation Program and provides NASA an early opportunity to gather critical data during vehicle ascent and during booster deceleration and recovery.
