> Gore never said he invented it. He did say he created it. He did create it when he was a Senator
Just like the Tesla Coil was not invented by Tesla, he created it... wait, that's the SAME FUCKING THING. Either way, regardless of context, what he said is, at worst, a lie and, at best, deceitful.
> I imagine normal life insurance would probably cover dying in such an accident.
You severely underestimate the scheming underhandedness of the insurance agencies. Their job is to take money from you, then figure out how NOT to pay you what you are deserved. I guarantee they would not pay out if the policy holder died in space. It's hard enough to get those shady bastards to pay when the holder is on the ground.
> Dubya's America - School where you're tested on fact regurtitation rather than on the ability to learn.
You're an idiot. "Dubya" hasn't been in long enough to really change anything in schools. It has been about fact regurgitation since before I was there, so shut your fucking trolling hole.
Troll? Please. Hey mod, if you read this, I have some good reading material for you. It's called a FAQ. Use your fucking head, this is not a troll. Of course, you must be too stupid to realize that. That's called Flamebait. No real reputable DJ would be stupid enough to try usung MP3s.
I'm not talking about people who play music at parties, I said a DJ. You know, someone who is GOOD at what they do, and know how to mix beats & songs so that they flow instead of just stopping the song & going to the next. No, CrossFader is not good enough.
You must be one of the crappy wannabe-DJs who thinks all they do is play songs. Now THAT is a troll.
> I can count at least 5 or 6 video rental stores other than Blockbuster within 5 miles of my house
Good for you. Not everyone lives in a big city. Not good for the rest of us. There are three rental places in my entire city. One is Blockbuster & the other two would fit inside the Blockbuster building. Some areas have only one. Also, BB is big enough (biggest video rental company in the U.S.?) that the MPAA will not turn "Soup Nazi" on them.
> What is it that separates foobar from Winamp? I don't see the need for tabbed playlists
Well, tabbed playlists would be good for DJs. The only problem is that MP3s should NOT be good enough for DJs, yet some fools insist on doing it anyway. Maybe if everything is encoded at 256... So no, I don't see the need either.
> And you don't even know that it had to do anything special, which I assume it had to since the path is in effect different.
I'm not sure if you are on a Mac or PC since you didn't specify, but there are more ways to access files than just the filename & path. On a PC it may be less reasonable to do, but perhaps Macs make this easier. Just a thought.
> quite blaming others because you are an impatient dumbass
"Quite?" Dumbass indeed. Learn to spell before incorrectly ripping on me for not reading. First off, I've never used an "E-Z Pass," as I don't live close enough to a big city to use something like that. Therefore, I could never have read the instructions. But you didn't bother thinking about that, did you? Nope.
If the WHOLE FUCKING POINT of the system is to be able to just drive through without stopping to pay, then it stops you every time, it does not work! What's so hard about that to understand?
The world does not revolve around me, I never said anything to that effect, nor did I even get arrogant about anything. It seems you must make feeble attempts at putting others down because you haven't got a clue what you are talking about. Otherwise, you would have given a real answer or solution instead of worthless and incorrect assumptions.
> Here's a tip for ya: if you don't want to get fined, wait for the light to change from red to green
Here's a better idea: Don't fine people just because your product sucks. If it doesn't work, that's not the fault of the people who pay for it & expect it to work every time.
> I'm not sure how DNS servers several hops away can be faster than the ones just inside the ISP
Well, if you have 5 million users but only 2 DNS servers it's going to be slow. Therefore, my guess is not that they have crappy servers, but that they don't have enough of them (or maybe they're poorly configured).
> Though Ian didn't play the Emperor in the "The Empire Strikes Back."
Yes, true. Clive Revill was The Voice of the Emperor in V, according to IMDB. I don't remember, but does the Emperor only show up as a hologram in that one? Or is there just some unnamed actor who played "The Body of the Emperor?"
Good, I guess that means that idiots will be ignoring me then, great! Wait, if you are ignoring me, why are you telling me? Oh, you're only 8 years old... I see.
> Episode 3 followed by Episode 3.5? The geeks would like that:)
Yup, it'll give them twice as much crap to piss & moan & whine about after seeing it in the theatre 10 times. (That's not really an insult, as I'll be one of them)
> Not all of us have seen the third matrix film you insensitive clod!
Luckily, he said "Matrix: Reloaded," which is the second one -- so, no problem, no spoiler -- she doesn't die! Unfortunately for you, she does in the third one. D'oh!

FYI: Moraco != a country. It's Morocco or Monaco. So which is it?
> You were born in the wrong century.
I would venture to say "millenia," even.

If you can't have an emotionally satisfying relationship without fucking, you're probably not going to have it with.

> Spoken truly like a white man living in a wealthy nation.
Spoken like a self-righteous faux-caring Liberal.
> Ani DiFranco has had songs in the top ten on iTunes Music Store. I think that supports your theory
It supports one or two of my theories:
1) ITunes got hacked by a A.D. Fan
2) People really are stupid enough to listen to that crap.

The problem with that statement is that the Dealer (person A) still isn't causing the harm. The user is causing themselves harm.

Ummmm, BttF was an action flick (no, not Schwarzenegger-style action, but still an action film).

Who the hell is Senior Lucas? Is there a Junior Lucas? Or is it just that he's near finishing school?
> I think its even the same actor portraying that portrayed the emperor.
Yes, it is. His name is Ian McDiarmid, Listed as Senator Palpatine in the first link and "The Emperor" in the second.
> Says who the Government? The Baby killers? Right I really trust them to be honest and truthful.
Yes, the Baby Killers... the ones INSIDE the compound though, not those outside.
