French Fries Get New Name in Congress

By JIM ABRAMS
Associated Press Writer

March 11, 2003, 1:57 PM EST

WASHINGTON -- Show the flag and pass the ketchup was the
order of the day in House cafeterias Tuesday. Lawmakers
struck a lunchtime blow against the French and put "freedom
fries" on the menu.

And for breakfast they'll now have "freedom toast."

The name changes follow similar actions by restaurants
around the country protesting French opposition to the
administration's Iraq war plans.

"Update. Now Serving in All House Office Buildings, 'Freedom
Fries,'" read a sign that Republican Reps. Bob Ney of Ohio
and Walter Jones of North Carolina placed at the register in
the Longworth Office Building food court.

that story distorts the facts slightly... I already
made a topic about this last month or so, and it was
actually just some guy in Hickville, USA, who runs his own
food place and decided to call fries "Freedom Fries",
because he was trying to be patriotic and not because he
"was against the French".

you could argue that being patriotic is being against anyone
other than ur country, so he could have been against the
french :P

anything you download goes into a temporary folder as
storage, when it finishes downloading, it's moved to
wherever you told it to save the file

;P

but the temp file doesn't always go away, and thus would
start to build up into 7gigs if you had a lot of them

huh, i should check that more regulary :)
it wasnt so long ago i deleted about twice as much
but i save directly to my desktop (i dont think it goes to
the temp folder, but then again i dont know much about
comps)

you seem to know something about computers-any idea why cant
i open www.ticketone.it
(i opened it this morning but i cant open it again)
