40GB RCA Lyra: Apple Fans Needn't Fret
PaulEshoreLives writes "The Globe and Mail isn't taking too kindly to RCA's Lyra 40GB iPod 'competitor.' Amongst its gripes are a crazy-slow FFW. How slow? Like 6 minutes to get to the end of a 60 minute file. Gotta wonder how these things get missed at the beta stage."

Huh? Where does that come from? From what theory is that derived?
risk looking even Session "and join in and personal spot when done For of the founders of Working on various Part of GNAA if world will have

Our puritanical heritige. We were the last country to give up slavery. We committed genocide against the native americans. We have one of the bloodiest histories of labor relations in the western world.
Give me Classic Slashdot or give me death!
I can't accept that the children are necessarily guilty of the sins of the parents and must attone for them.
I try to correct wrongs when ever I can, but wrongs commited before I was born I have no control over. Most of those that have commited the crimes are long dead. The slaves are free, the natives are still being given reparations for events that happened over a century ago.
In fact, my own ancestors weren't even in the US during these times.
Isn't that how Bin Laden thinks? His objective is to punish US citizens for the actions of their government.
I say bullshit. The ruler and the subject cannot, by any stretch of logic, become one and the same. You cannot, at the same time, (1) posess the "right" to initiate force as a means to an end, and (2) NOT posess the "right" to initiate force as a means to an end. (Posession of the unique "right" to initiate force is the only absolute way to define government.)
I will NOT be held responsible for the actions of other individuals, let alone the actions of government.
... but there are people out there in the world right now, many thousands upon thousands of them in fact, whose lives (and limbs) have been changed, irrevocably, for that fact.
*sigh* and heres' the problem. You *SHOULD* take responsibility for the actions of your government, IT IS YOUR GOVERNMENT.
That you are piously inclined to not see that in fact, you Dont Have The Right to not take responsiblity for the actions of your government, should show you how much of a mess you are in.
It is because Americans refuse to take responsibility for the actions of their government, that you don't see the results of those actions reported on your beloved television 'free media'...
You (you know, 'the public') don't want to see the results of the wanton application of America War Machine over the last 50 years, you only want to benefit from the economic rewards presented to you by it
I take offense that you imply that I somehow had something to do with those crimes.
The fact is, American Citizen #93208239, you had everything to do with those crimes. And I am not surprised that you take offense; you (and your country) always do.

Bullshit. That's exactly what government wants you to believe. I will never accept the proposal that the ruler and the subject are one and the same.
Over 10,000 innocent Iraqi civilians are dead because of decisions made by the US federal government. You want to relieve them of that responsibility and put the blame on "the people". That's bullshit. What if, for example, I've voted Libertarian every single election, every single race? (The Libertarian party has very little, if any, influence on the policies of the US governments.) Are you still going to hold on to your ridiculous claims?
My god, you have seriously lost the plot.
It is not "The Government", like its some sorta separate corporation that you can just decide not to 'be a consumer of'.
It exists, ONLY ON THE BASIS OF THE RESPONSIBILITY of and for and by its citizens: YOU.
Thus, actions it takes 'in the name of its citizens and for the nation of america', ARE the responsibility OF its citizens. Directly, and as a cause of!
Your disconnect is because you are a victim of a calculated conspiracy to produce 'consumer paeon slaves of a corporate state' who begrudgingly hate its government and bear its sins, in the name of global dominance, yet all the while refusing to take any responsibility, in the meantime.
AMERICAN: You Are Your Government.
