I would say that was a damn good idea. By running the thing on Linux they are ensuring that all the users can afford the same OS throughout their lives and have the ability to alter it.
Linux will probably run better on the hardware they are using as well.
If they conquered the land and are still there then they are by definition occupying it. Not to pass judgement on whether they have some sort of right to do so or not, but the people that live there certainly have strong opinions on that subject; and that was the point of my previous post.
OK, First off, you have not put forth any theory that does not rely on circular logic.
The CE theory of Intelligent Design can be summed up simply- Given the existence
of intelligent life in the universe, which has the ability to make choices about it's own reproduction, the universe must inevitably be considered to be an "Intelligent Design"
This is completely absurd and you give absolutely no evidence to support it; nor do you even put forth a method for testing it. You are basically saying that because we are intelligent there is enevitably intelligent design going on.
No shit.
There are all kinds of intelligent design going on right now. In fact, I am intelligently, or not so intelligently depending on you opinion, designing this post. Likewise, just because we have been able to domesticate animal, by altering selection(i.e. speeding up evolution) does not mean that it is a foregone conclution that there is intelligent design.
I would challenge anyone who believes in ID to show me any experiments or predictions based on this so called theory.
FEMA was created in response to a number of state govement fsckups in response to hurricanes. Its goal was to create a central point of managment for large and multistate disasters.
This centralization, along with the insistance of the government that it, and it alone, be responsible for rescue efforts was the problem with the Katrina response. The feds kept badly needed supplies and transportation out of the flooded areas and thus kept out the most important first responders, the people.
I know a bit about the architecture or the internet, but not enough to put forward a model based on citizen cooperation for internet recovery; though, open source seems to be the analagous preventative measure.
And warning stickers equal censorship. Like in China, when they put warning stickers on people's heads so everyone knows they are saying bad things about the government.
"Technically, he was elected. Though they did suppress political parties that they didn't like. Just like nationalist political parties have been broken up in several European countries in the past couple of years, because the politicans in power didn't like them. Perhaps it's a hard habit to break."
That is technically true but the reality was a bit more complicated. Hitler was originally appointed, in january of 1933. The Nazi party was the largest party in parliament and they secured their standing in the march 1933 elections, essentially through violence.
So, yeah, he was elected, or as elected as a leader in a parliamentary system ever is, but he was appointed first.
Um, the NRA was founded 50 years before the ACLU, that is why we have the NRA; not as some take-up-the-slack-from-the-ACLU organization. And if you are for religious freedom and the seperation of church and state then you should be for the ACLU's mission.
If you are so ignorant as to think that Affirmative Action is a major problem in race relations today then you need to pull your head out of your ass and start looking at the country.
I would assume they will get the same exemtion that agriculture/farms get now. that or the stat will be able to tell from the GPS record that they mainly rode on their own land.
note: I am completely against this whole idea, only pointing out how they would get around they most immediate concerns.
While I agree with the general gist of what you say, I must take exception to the specifics.
The jury system before the civil war was heavily biased against blacks in the same way it was immediately afterwards: They did not serve in significant numbers.
While I realize that this does not take away from your point, it is an important thing to note; racism was, and is, alive and well in our country; and no amount of law will change that.
Sorry, but that is not quite so. The hydrogenyzation process cause the unsaturated fats to take on a saturated form more likely to get clogged in the blood stream than the naturally occuring saturated fats. I guess one could argue that the colestorol(sp?) in butter makes the score even, but I think it would not be enough to make a difference.
P.S. I generally eat non-hydrogenated vegetable oil based spreads. Best of all the choices.

I would beg to differ; but perhaps that is just my O. Chem class talking.

Actually, you are an atheist if you simply do not believe in god/gods.
Theist-one who belives in god or gods.
Atheist-one who does not believe in god/gods.
It is quite simple. Many just wish to redine Atheism in such a way that it is a religion.

Well, does it sound more likely that pirates or redneck christians would beat someone up for their views?
And how often do abortion doctors occupy land which does not belong to them?
Can create uselss marketing value with long over-wrought sentences!

Wow, you really are the consumate internet ass, are you not?
I want to know, because it would be unfair of me to call you a screeching imbecile before I was clear on it.
This sure as hell looks like you implied that he was a screeching imbecile. Care to offer some other explanation?
So, who implied that the other was a "screeching imbecile"?
I guess it is easy to accuse others of your failings.

Hitler was not a socialist or a leftist.
And the biggest supporters of censorship in the US are the religios right.
That or public space, which are both denied to the poor.

It may sound sarcastic to you, but it is completely true. Where can people too poor to buy canvases or go to an art gallery put up art?
Remember, no one is suppose to mention that the U.S. is an empire, it reminds us that we do not really believe in freedom.

Sorry, I forgot only people with money are allowed to put up art.

Sorry, starbucks' coffee jes' ain't strong enough. I am a big fan of peet's though, made like coffee should be:
Dark as night
Think as oil
Strong as hell
