    Oh, I'm not. I'm not even a candidate for that list. :D Mainly, it's being in the right place at the right time, same as always. Crap, just got beeped with a load from Richton Park, IL to Lincoln, AL. 692 miles @ 99 cent per. I won't say how may miles I have this week so far, but it started...

    Does anyone know what this toggle switch is ?

    It turns that big television screen at Times Square on and off. So don't touch it.

    Froyo (Android 2.2) has tethering built in. Just enable it in the Wireless settings. BUT, and it's a big but, if you tether that way, then Verizon will know you are tethering, and you'll get about 10 minutes of uninterrupted tethering before you are redirected to a Verizon Web page telling you...

    Think about it

    A paraplegic paralyzed from the neck down. That's pretty funny. Paraplegia - paralysis of both lower limbs due to spinal disease or injury. Quadriplegia - paralysis of all four limbs or of the entire body below the neck. He has the use of his hands and arms, albeit somewhat limited...

    You bet there is. Teams are preferred over solos, straights are preferred over vans, and proximity to the shipper is preferred over board position.

    Part IV: An Opposing Viewpoint

    Well, if you believe that all Muslims are out to kill us, then there is no such thing as innocent Muslim blood, right? But his statement is an interesting one, depending on how you want to look at it, and is the mirror image of the above. Like the phrase, "of innocent non Muslims." That can be...

    They don't care. They make no attempt to track driver performance beyond about 2 months, and as such make no effort to differentiate between good and bad drivers. All drivers are treated to the lowest common denominator, a.k.a., the bad driver who is likely to screw up. If you're just now coming...

    PDAnet

    Yeah. Works great. Read the fine print of your cell phone contract, though, as it'll almost certainly state in there that you can't do that (without buying an additional data plan to cover it). But there is no way to tell if you are tethered, except for when insanely large amounts of data gets...

    The Government and GPS Tracking

    The problem is, if these sorts of encroachments (on our privacy) are tolerated, authorities will only seek more and more power - until something you do every day actually is illegal, and we'll have the monitoring infrastructure to back it up and enforce it. What if it gets to the point where...

    I think he's probably talking about Italy, where 97.2% of the population is Catholic and the other 2.8% are being heavily lobbied. Or maybe Mexico, where 95.3% is Catholic. Or Poland, or Ecuador, or Columbia, or Argentina, or the Philippines, where all are well above the 90% mark. Or, maybe he's...

    The Government and GPS Tracking

    Yeah, you really should read the rest of this one. The Government's New Right to Track Your Every Move With GPS - Yahoo! News I wonder what the attitude towards this is from expediters and others who have GPD tracking on their trucks. I also have to wonder, if it's legal to secretly install...

    Taxpayer money to foreign mosques

    It didn't go anywhere. There never was a link in the original post. He mentions the site by name, but he left it up to the readers to figure out how to get there.

    Only if the reader approaches it with non-prejudice. Most won't, either way. Those who are prejudiced against Muslims will view the material through their own rose colored glasses, looking intently for things that they can say he's lying about because if he's lying then it makes them right about...

    No. I haven't watched or listened to Hannity in, I dunno, at least a year. He's just as tiresome as the goobers on MSNBC. I guess he's fine if you like to get all worked up and frothy because it suits the prejudices you already have, but other than that, he's pretty much useless.

    Crossing the border

    One time coming out of Laredo there were two border guards standing there, one a very Mexican-looking dood and the other was whiter than they are in Minnesota. The Mexican-looking border guard asked me in a very Spanish-sounding accent, "Are you a US seetizen, sir?" I replied, "Yeah...... are...

    Cleveland Solo drivers

    That's a tough one. $1500 a week sounds good, but then to have to go to Cleveland every night, whew, I dunno.

    Part IV: An Opposing Viewpoint

    The bottom line is, those who are adamantly against the "Ground Zero" mosque are blatantly prejudiced against Muslims, all Muslims, and many are proud of that fact. These same people are looking for anything with regard to Rauf that they can point to as being extremist-like, so they can draw the...
