    You should have every post modded down for having a .sig like that. Besides that your a troll.

    When I glanced at this topic, I thought Apple had done something to throttle down their CPU to run slower and therefore use less battery power. Isn't that what speed bumps do?

    Funny, I always thought that it was the US Senate that votes to confirm judges. Silly me for actually reading the US Constitution.

    The people gave Clinton a mandate to rule with a fully Democrat Congress in 1992. It was such a disaster that the Republicans came roaring back in 1994 to take Congress.

    10 years later, the people have given the Republican party the same opportunity. The country didn't expire during Democrat rule and won't during Republican. They hyperventilation index seems to be much higher this time around though.

    Don't you see that if you over-hype the dangers nobody's going to pay attention anymore?

    Dear moderators!

    The intention of my reply above was not to troll nor to put out a flamebait. My only intention was to be ironic about RIAA's standpoint. Please mod me up.

    Cheers!
