I'd like to apologize for all the Americans saying stupid things in this discussion. We're sorry. We sadly can't keep our more ignorant members of our country out of these things. Please don't assume all Americans can't comprehend things like "exchange rates", and also probably couldn't find their own country on a map.
You seriously think *John Kerry* is going to be against outsourcing? Hahahaha.
And you think Bill O'Reilly is pro-corporate? Have you ever even *heard* him? If you've listened to him for more than like 15 minutes you'd be bound to hear some anti-corporate blathering.
And in the example you give, the fact that it is games won and lost prevents a bad showing at one game by the more successful team from destroying a chance to win the series....ta-da! And the fact that it is electoral votes prevents a bad showing in NYC and LA from destroying a chance to win the election.
As long as this guy is the only one, the only situation in which this could affect the election is if the electoral vote is supposed to be 270/267 in favor of Bush, and this guy either votes for Kerry instead (making it 269/268) or for some random dude (269/267/1.. back in the 70s some elector cast his vote for the Libertarian candidate instead of whoever he was supposed to pick). In that case, since no one would have the required majority of 270, it'd go to the House (who'd pick Bush anyway).
This is pretty unlikely, though.
In any case, the electoral college is still a good idea, unless you want NY and CA deciding everything. A president has to be able to make decisions for the good of the whole country (geographically), not just the cities.
I would like to see more states follow the Maine/Nebraska method of allocating electors, though (by Congressional district, and the extra 2 go to whoever wins the state overall).
Of course, I'd also like to see Senators appointed by the state legislatures again, too, but that's not going to happen.
I think there is the possibility for another good ST series... but not with the current leadership. Paramount should give up on Berman et al., let Trek rest and recover for several years, and then bring back a new series, with new writers and new producers.
When I was doing a project with NASA several months ago, I got to see the lab that they had set up preparing for the Genesis payload. It was some pretty impressive stuff.
Best of luck to the helicoptor pilots, and to the NASA scientists! Hopefully we'll be reading about some good new science information about the sun and the solar wind soon.:)
I find this whole "keep Nader off the ballot" thing by the Democrats despicable... how can anyone justify specifically trying to silence a political view?
If they could get away with it, they'd be trying to take Republicans off the ballot too.
<sarcasm type='liberal arrogance'> After all, all *intelligent* people vote Democrat anyway, so we shouldn't need all these confusing choices. </sarcasm>
Did you even continue to read that sentence?...is going the way of the horse upon the arrival of the car: it'll hang around but never hold the same relevance in everyday life.

Turn on "search in page" or whatever in FF preferences, and just start typing, and it will auto-search the page. No mouse at all.
So, moving the mouse counts as "exercise"?

Really? I'll let Toronto and Montreal know that they've been annexed.

Heh... "Moore Bullshit: Fahrenheit 912"
In 10 years, will Fahrenheit 911 sequels ever reach the public ?
Hopefully in 10 years, the public will be intelligent enough to not fall for propaganda like that...
Ha, who am I kidding? The public? Intelligent? Not going to happen. Ah well.

Thanks again!
Well damn! If your friends are unemployed, that obviously must scale to the entire country! It's a foolproof theory!

No offense, but you're pretty ignorant.
I've been wanting that for years. That *would* be awesome.
What sites are these? People keep saying this but I haven't encountered any site that "only works in IE" for years.
(Plugins on Firefox still need work though... sometimes I have no problems, but occasionally it just messes up completely)
You've solved the poverty problem! Just raise the minimum wage to $15/hr, and no one will be poor anymore!
(If you can figure out why that won't work, then you can apply it in the other direction.)
Since when is an election a game?
...ta-da! And the fact that it is electoral votes prevents a bad showing in NYC and LA from destroying a chance to win the election.
How isn't it a game?

Scientist's and Athiest's are the only ones will to admit that thay can't ALWAYS explain EVERYTHING.
Atheists have just as much faith as theists... maybe you mean agnostics?
...and Taco said the Politics section would be balanced.
No offense, but "the $GUYS_I_DONT_AGREE_WITH are going to outlaw elections" is not what I'd call balanced.
It comes from MIT and CMU, so it probably just *thinks* that it can walk on water..

Notice "Osama" was not mentioned once.

No? Search for "Osama" on this speech transcript, for example.

what the hell is 'IRC Chat"? Something you do with an LCD display and a PC computer?
Make sure you have a NIC card in that PC computer. (and don't forget your PIN number..)
Yeah, and it also doesn't support any of the codecs I wrote in LOGO.
hahahaha, best respons to an Ogg post ever.
what the hell? the convenience store called, they're running out of tinfoil.
