If you live anywhere near Lancaster, PA, you can get your game on at Cold Wars from April 8-10. Run by the Historical Miniatures Gaming Society, but there is also fansasy/sci-fi gaming.

Strangely, my dictionary defines war as 'a card game for children in which the cards are turned up one by one, the highest takes the others, and a tie occasions a situation in which the next turn decides; also the situation occasioned by a tie in the game of war.' Oh wait, that's the third definition.
A particularly fun variation was described by the guy who invented MtG, in which the winner of each round can write a new rule.

dont be an idiot. If you're going to nit pick my use of the word WAR, at least look up a definition or something like the other guy did.
The war on drugs is a rhetorical device, certianly. The war on terror it a sound byte, to be sure. But you are drawing a really dubious distinction here, a - rhetorical - distinction, even. We are at war with al Quaeda, et al., whether they were responsible or not, where ever they are, who ever they are. Hostilities have commenced. Why don't you go shove a daisy up bin Laden's ass.

How come you think we're not at war? What exactly was that 9-11 thing? Was it all a big joke?
If building nuclear weapons were easy, such that anyone who could afford a car, for example, could afford to build one, would you allow the instructions to be printed in your underground magazines?
Agreed. Or hire me, I can get Winrunner to do all sorts of neat things, and I'll gladly spend hours on the clock debugging the scripts every time you change the GUI. $$$$$$$$$
That would require moving it closer. Perhaps we could arrange it so that the tidal variations expressed in feet could be expressed in meters with a 1:1 conversion. That would probably flood my house, but at least I'd be able to easily tell when it was going to happen.

Illegal enemy soldiers, infiltrating the country after meeting with the enemy leaders, taking money from the enemy, living among the enemy for years, training with the enemy. We don't have to charge them, they are the enemy. We can hold them until we win the war.
By organizing themselves in the manner they have, Al Queda has scammed its troops out of POW status, and managed also to scam them out of normal criminal status. Not our fault they didn't form a country before they declared war. Not our fault they don't wear uniforms.
The habeus corpus petition may force the gov't to explain themselves more publicly, but the gov't will win.
And the one lower court case that most directly applies this test is pretty bad (or, as we'll see, good) for Walker. In United States v. Schiffer (1993), a federal trial judge concluded that a U.S. citizen voluntarily surrendered his citizenship by fighting in the Romanian army in World War II, when Romania was at war with the United States.
"[N]o conduct," the court said, is "more demonstrative of an intent to relinquish American citizenship than voluntary service in the armed forces of a country at war with the United States." A federal appellate court case, Breyer v. Meissner (2000), supports this approach. So does a formal 1969 opinion by Attorney General Ramsey Clark.

A law that applies only to a spcific person or group of people is a bill of attainder. The action of the executive branch, which cannot pass laws, by definition cannot be a bill of attainder. Why do you think the bill of attainder prohibition is in Article 1? Or weren't you aware that article 1 creates the legislative branch? I think you're looking for one of the amendments in the bill of rights.
Proving in open court that someone is an enemy of the state could involve comprimising intelligence sources, and would therefore be stupid. We've had quite enough stupidity on the part of gov't, don't you think?
The 14th ammendment protects your life liberty and property against the states acting without due process. You're thinking of the 34th ammendment perhaps? You know, they one that doesn't exist?
But otherwise I agree, noone has the right to shoot guns at any thing they don't own, unless it's in self defense. I think you're to quick to dismiss the threat that a coke can on the curb presents to some slashdotters.
The IRS requires you to provide records to prove assertions you make, like 'I drove 17000 miles for offsite work last year.' When they say 'prove it' then you better hope you can.
I no longer live in virginia, but as I recall, there is also a regional sales tax in tidewater and there's a referrendum in NOVA for a regional sales tax to fund roads.

I imagine that the actual links are carried on DWDM channels on fiber owned by telecom companies. If they had bought the links as 'Dark Fiber' then they have the whole fiber and they can put DWDM on it if they want, but I doubt that's how this thing is set up.
The difference is very pronounced for Compaqs, for example. Compaq's consumer line pcs suck, in my experience, but a friend of mine swears by his armada notebook. Thus I am led to believe that the business line armadas are better engineered than the consumer line presarios, and I wonder if that applies more generally.
I've been recommending dells too, but I always recommend the business line optiplexes and latitudes, mostly based on my experience with other companies. (Eg the Compaq pisserio)
Is there a big jump in quality between the dell business line and consumer line pcs and notebooks?
