.s2. I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal... Read More »

Why does military equipment cost so much compared to
comparable civilian equipment?
s:,'D i David Crawley, Lean Product Development Methods Practitioner
avid 270k views
I worked for a company that sold a microchip to the military for more than
$2k per chip. This chip would have sold to a civilian contract for about 3o
cents, but we never sold it to civilians as it was such an old technology (about
zo years old) that no civilian wanted to buy it. Why did we sell it for that
much? Because we could. The part was military, and thus specialized, only
some companies... Read More »

I Remember this guy? He was cast in some pretty big films awhile back
including a starring role in the biggest box office hit of all time. Didn't make
much of an impression though. Sam Neil is another guy who didn't exactly
set the world on fire after starring in one of the biggest movies of all times
Jurassic Park. It would appear that effects driven movies don't require big
stars, as the human ... Read More »

No, kissing is not at all like violins in the background, fireworks, or your skin
on fire. I have known one man who was a good — no, great kisser. I enjoyed
every second of him kissing me, but there were no fireworks or violins. Done
right, and for more than just a minute, kissing can lead to body arousal in both
partners. Which will lead to other things. That has been my experience; others
might ... Read More »
What does a police agent deep undercover say when asked

While I was never undercover as a police agent, but was undercover as an
Intelligence and Counter-Intelligence agent on numerous occasions over a 27
year period, I will say that I never broke cover, and never revealed to anyone
that I was working undercover. So my response would be, "What in the hell

Since your homeland is invaded you have any right to defend it any way you
can. However, in order to be treated by the Geneva Convention as a part of the
armed forces of a nation (or country) you are required to : bear your
armament publicly (not concealed), bear a sign or a mark that signifies you
follow a specific leader, respect the rules of war. If all of the above are met,
then you are (by ... Read More »

P, The FBI would immediately confiscate it and transport it to Area 51 under
the aegis of the NSA.
Once there, it would be reverse engineered and patented by Lockheed.
It would hit the markets by 1993 at the latest.
The net result:

Well, I can tell you something that my father did that I so wish he hadn't.
About 3o years ago I picked him up at the San Francico airport on his return
from Australia where he had gone to provide public relations consulting
services for their wine industry. He was to spend a few days in the Bay Area
before returning to New York. In the airport he handed me the sterling silver

It is really easy to be a butter-bar in the Army. There is all sorts of cool shit to
do. First, you get to see guns. Guns are cool. Second, you get to tell people
what to do. You can tell an E-7 who has been in the Army since you were born
to load ammo, and he will tell you to load it up your ass. Since you don't like
that, you will report him to the commander, and she will tell you to load
