like i care.. its will probably help google become a better search engine by
sending infomation back to them.. let them spy as much as they want... (and
by the way, if they explain they do it its not technicly 'spying')

and google is testing a new feature.. Google Compute "Google would like to
request your help with Google Compute, a new feature for the Google Toolbar.
By turning on this feature, you enable your computer to work on complex
problems when it would otherwise be idle. The work it does is automatically
sent via the Internet to researchers who combine it with information sent by
thousands of other users." basicly it works like Folding at home. but i
installed it and it did not even work.. so it has bugs

I have retired many flags before in ceremonys in boy scouts.. and the
retirement of flags alsos apply to US flags that are weather-beaten and torn
edges, etc (a.k.a very old).

other rules for flags is that no US flag should be out in bad weather.

No US flag should be up on a flag pole at night unless it is well lit by
some sort of light.

When the US flag is displayed on a staff mounted to the wall of a room, it
should flown to the right at the front of the room (in a classroom this
means to the teacher's right), and any other flags displayed from separate
staffs should be to the U.S. Flag's left.

If several flags are flown from the same mounting, the US flag should be
centered and hold prominence.

When displayed against a wall with another flag on crossed staffs, the US
flag should be to its own right, and the staff of the US flag should be in
front of the staff of any other flag so displayed.

If the US flag and annother flag (state flag most likely) are displayed
together against a wall, the US flag should have the position on the
observer's left.

No other flag should be larger then the US flag, but can be the same exact
size.

If the flag is suspended vericly, the field of blue should be on the top and
on the top-left edge of the flag.

When the flag is displayed in a window, it should be displayed to look
correct from the outside of the building.

When hanged on a staff on a building, Hang it over the sidewalk with the
stars away from the building.
When hanged over a street, hang the flag with the stars to the east on a
north- south street or north on an east-west street.north on an east-west
street.

If the flag is going to be at Half-Mast, you should raise it all the way to
the top the lower it half-way, and then when taking it down raise it all the
way to the top and lower it.

and an upside-down US flag is considered a distress signal
