Spam = [img]http://home.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/heart.gif[/img]Quote:
What does spam cost? In the 1980s, you could give the answer in cents. It's 2005, though, and spam is no longer just Hormel's famous meat product; rather, it's the nuisance of the online world. The 2004 National Technology Readiness Survey says that spam cost $21.58 billion -- in lost productivity, that is.
That figure comes from the finding that U.S. Internet users spend three minutes of every day spent online in deleting spam, and it doesn't include the lost productivity that comes from viruses and other malicious programs often buried in spam.
Glad I didn't miss much. :D
I think our party clearly has the best banners, sigs, etc. *nods*
chaos: Cool. BTW, for being assigned forums, can I take (SPOILER)the FFVIII forum, or the KH forum?
I'm thinking of asking not to represent any forums :D
Yeah. Though I do like The Fluffy Pink signature. But come on, we have John Kerry.Quote:

(See Note 2) The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct.

The Seats of the Senators of the first Class shall be vacated at the Expiration of the second Year, of the second Class at the Expiration of the fourth Year, and of the third Class at the Expiration of the sixth Year, so that one third may be chosen every second Year; and if Vacancies happen by Resignation, or otherwise, during the Recess of the Legislature of any State, the Executive thereof may make temporary Appointments until the next Meeting of the Legislature, which shall then fill such Vacancies. (See Note 4)

NOTES
Note 1: This text of the Constitution follows the engrossed copy signed by Gen. Washington and the deputies from 12 States. The small superior figures preceding the paragraphs designate Clauses, and were not in the original and have no reference to footnotes.
The Constitution was adopted by a convention of the States on September 17, 1787, and was subsequently ratified by the several States, on the following dates: Delaware, December 7, 1787; Pennsylvania, December 12, 1787; New Jersey, December 18, 1787; Georgia, January 2, 1788; Connecticut, January 9, 1788; Massachusetts, February 6, 1788; Maryland, April 28, 1788; South Carolina, May 23, 1788; New Hampshire, June 21, 1788.
Ratification was completed on June 21, 1788.
The Constitution was subsequently ratified by Virginia, June 25, 1788; New York, July 26, 1788; North Carolina, November 21, 1789; Rhode Island, May 29, 1790; and Vermont, January 10, 1791.
In May 1785, a committee of Congress made a report recommending an alteration in the Articles of Confederation, but no action was taken on it, and it was left to the State Legislatures to proceed in the matter. In January 1786, the Legislature of Virginia passed a resolution providing for the appointment of five commissioners, who, or any three of them, should meet such commissioners as might be appointed in the other States of the Union, at a time and place to be agreed upon, to take into consideration the trade of the United States; to consider how far a uniform system in their commercial regulations may be necessary to their common interest and their permanent harmony; and to report to the several States such an act, relative to this great object, as, when ratified by them, will enable the United States in Congress effectually to provide for the same. The Virginia commissioners, after some correspondence, fixed the first Monday in September as the time, and the city of Annapolis as the place for the meeting, but only four other States were represented, viz: Delaware, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania; the commissioners appointed by Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Rhode Island failed to attend. Under the circumstances of so partial a representation, the commissioners present agreed upon a report, (drawn by Mr. Hamilton, of New York,) expressing their unanimous conviction that it might essentially tend to advance the interests of the Union if the States by which they were respectively delegated would concur, and use their endeavors to procure the concurrence of the other States, in the appointment of commissioners to meet at Philadelphia on the Second Monday of May following, to take into consideration the situation of the United States; to devise such further provisions as should appear to them necessary to render the Constitution of the Federal Government adequate to the exigencies of the Union; and to report such an act for that purpose to the United States in Congress assembled as, when agreed to by them and afterwards confirmed by the Legislatures of every State, would effectually provide for the same.
Congress, on the 21st of February, 1787, adopted a resolution in favor of a convention, and the Legislatures of those States which had not already done so (with the exception of Rhode Island) promptly appointed delegates. On the 25th of May, seven States having convened, George Washington, of Virginia, was unanimously elected President, and the consideration of the proposed constitution was commenced. On the 17th of September, 1787, the Constitution as engrossed and agreed upon was signed by all the members present, except Mr. Gerry of Massachusetts, and Messrs. Mason and Randolph, of Virginia. The president of the convention transmitted it to Congress, with a resolution stating how the proposed Federal Government should be put in operation, and an explanatory letter. Congress, on the 28th of September, 1787, directed the Constitution so framed, with the resolutions and letter concerning the same, to "be transmitted to the several Legislatures in order to be submitted to a convention of delegates chosen in each State by the people thereof, in conformity to the resolves of the convention."
On the 4th of March, 1789, the day which had been fixed for commencing the operations of Government under the new Constitution, it had been ratified by the conventions chosen in each State to consider it, as follows: Delaware, December 7, 1787; Pennsylvania, December 12, 1787; New Jersey, December 18, 1787; Georgia, January 2, 1788; Connecticut, January 9, 1788; Massachusetts, February 6, 1788; Maryland, April 28, 1788; South Carolina, May 23, 1788; New Hampshire, June 21, 1788; Virginia, June 25, 1788; and New York, July 26, 1788.
The President informed Congress, on the 28th of January, 1790, that North Carolina had ratified the Constitution November 21, 1789; and he informed Congress on the 1st of June, 1790, that Rhode Island had ratified the Constitution May 29, 1790. Vermont, in convention, ratified the Constitution January 10, 1791, and was, by an act of Congress approved February 18, 1791, "received and admitted into this Union as a new and entire member of the United States."
Note 2: The part of this Clause relating to the mode of apportionment of representatives among the several States has been affected by Section 2 of amendment XIV, and as to taxes on incomes without apportionment by amendment XVI.
Note 3: This Clause has been affected by Clause 1 of amendment XVII.
Note 4: This Clause has been affected by Clause 2 of amendment XVIII.
Note 5: This Clause has been affected by amendment XX.
Note 6: This Clause has been affected by amendment XXVII.
Note 7: This Clause has been affected by amendment XVI.
Note 8: This Clause has been superseded by amendment XII.
Note 9: This Clause has been affected by amendment XXV.
Note 10: This Clause has been affected by amendment XI.
Note 11: This Clause has been affected by amendment XIII.
Note 12: The first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States (and two others, one of which failed of ratification and the other which later became the 27th amendment) were proposed to the legislatures of the several States by the First Congress on September 25, 1789. The first ten amendments were ratified by the following States, and the notifications of ratification by the Governors thereof were successively communicated by the President to Congress: New Jersey, November 20, 1789; Maryland, December 19, 1789; North Carolina, December 22, 1789; South Carolina, January 19, 1790; New Hampshire, January 25, 1790; Delaware, January 28, 1790; New York, February 24, 1790; Pennsylvania, March 10, 1790; Rhode Island, June 7, 1790; Vermont, November 3, 1791; and Virginia, December 15, 1791.
Ratification was completed on December 15, 1791.
The amendments were subsequently ratified by the legislatures of Massachusetts, March 2, 1939; Georgia, March 18, 1939; and Connecticut, April 19, 1939.
Note 13: Only the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th articles of amendment had numbers assigned to them at the time of ratification.
Note 14: This sentence has been superseded by section 3 of amendment XX.
Note 15: See amendment XIX and section 1 of amendment XXVI.
Note 16: Repealed by section 1 of amendment XXI.
Thanks for that Myles. Rhode Island has long been a thorn in my side, but no longer! NO LONGER!
I got to the word states and thought, Pah! This does not relate to me in anyway.
Then I had a drink of sprite, now I'm typing, then I'm sleeping...
This party seriously lacks some Fabio and non-butter.

Baloki said he'd make a layout...but I think he has been in an accident involving a bulldozer or something. Yeah, being in accidents with somethings are not a laughing matter.
OK they are :laugh:
I was TOTALY not driving that bulldozer... really... STOP LOOKING AT ME.
Well, he was taken out with a "something" instead, so you're alright. :cool:
Something wounds are the worst kind. Did it hit him in the whatdyamacallit?

chaos: Well, whenever we start choosing forums, already remember that me and Phil have taken FFVIII and FFIX.
Well, we only need two more members (1 more, if Quina joins up!) and then we'll have 30 members - enough to have someone at every forum.
Hey I said I wanted VIII! Wah!!!!!!Quote:

Hi Quina! :D
Doomsday is now up for FF Tactics. :)
Yay! :love: Hmm actually, I dunno if maybe I want VII:AC now. Oh well, I'll stick with VII for now :p :DQuote:

Rubedo: Alright, how about on this page, you list all of the taken forums. And I have FFVIII :D
Egads man! More pages than I can be arsed to read!
Still, at least it's showing people support the cause.
Mind if I take FFV? :)
chaos: Screw this Psy, I'll make a list. No one has claimed FFV, so I guess it's your's.Quote:

I LIKE TYPING IN CAPS
Eh, I'll just go wherever is left after you all pick :D
COOL
I LIKE PENGUINS
ME TOO.
I CHANGE TOPIC
what is opinion of Denmark custom title and location
please do not criticize my speaking I not from this country
http://www2.gamesville.lycos.com/htm...ke_penguin.htm
Edit: I'll give them a B+/10
I've seen that before. it's mean but funny. :D
Opinion of Denmark of goodness jolly!
Penguin is not liking to be of poked variety.
Ansem: I'd like to have the KH Forum, please!
Kounetsu: GIVE IT TO HIM, NOW!!! AND BRING ME TROWA!
Penguins 4 lief.
Damn, we're picking forums already? And Denners stole Feedback. :(
I guess I'll take FFX, since I don't like the idea of running against the Unne Party in FFI-IV.
Plus, once we own FFX and its rich resource of newbies, we can build an army and march against the soc oppressors!
Of course, this is all just a ruse, if you're from another party and reading this. :shifty:
xDDDQuote:

I'm not sure if the letter K appears in a numbered Final Fantasy game. It probably appears in FF Tactics Advance, though.
OK no it doesn't. But in FF Tactics Advance I named my clan BAoTW. Just a random point of interest. Haha, I should stand for the FFTA forum :D
Yes command an conquer is a great source of tactics.
I recommend we send our tesla troops to the tiberium feilds and tap into their rich source of NODbies
What did I miss this time?
*bites*
Kounetsu: So..... I'm allowed to ask boys to join my 'Young Bubbies Club' now?
Ansem: This won't end well...
Kounetsu: Hey, Trooooooowaaaaaa... wanna join me in the 'Group Room"?
