    It'd be pretty hard for the Russians to hack America using the computers in Fallout 4.

Another obstacle stopping Russia from hacking America via the computers in Fallout 4 is that, no matter how you approach it, it'd simply be impossible. That hasn't stopped CNN using footage of a Fallout 4 computer in a story about Russian hacking, though. It's not a huge faux pas on the news outlet's part: it's simply used as...

    My mother in law had a heart attack early this morning. She had quadruple bypass surgery 10 years ago and there is nothing with which to work this time. My wife has travelled from Memphis to Baton Rouge to be with her. Please pray for my wife and father in law, this is devestating to them even if she pulls through. The doctors only give her a ray of hope.

    My e-mail ^ | 6/7/2007 | Bob Corker Campain
    Immigration Reform Three weeks ago, a bipartisan group of senators and administration officials emerged from negotiations to announce agreement on a new comprehensive immigration reform bill. I, like other senators outside of this select group, approached the news with caution.

I voiced opposition and voted against proceeding any further until I felt confident there would be a serious debate over an...

    New Mexico Sec State ^ | 11/28 | Ingtar
    Was just trying to add up official/unofficial popular vote. When I got to the New Mexico site it shows Bush ahead by 4 - with a date of yesterday. I do not know if this is an old number, or if the results have changed.
