You're right! Macro$haft paid off the army to do this! As a matter of fact, they bought the army last year! They're giving Linux a bad name by equating "Linux" with "Warmongering Supersoldiers hellbent on ruling the world (after Iraq of course)!" Tell your congressmen to ban Linux usage in publicly funded endeavors, especially war!
For the love of humanity, think of the children... Bill's children... who might not get another car for his birthday! Five Beemers aren't enough: he's got to have 8 by the time he's old enough to drive. Anything else would be simply barbaric.

Really, how were words flashed into your eye for milliseconds, "ages" ago? What exactly are you describing, because it is certainly not the same thing the article talked about.
> Outlook runs my business..., and I have a zero trust factor for Napster...
You run one of the most unstable and insecure pieces of software available, trusting that it won't infect your entire network with the "Outlook Worm of the Week" (tm), yet you won't trust a piece of software just to do address book searches? Wow, that's pretty stupid.
> we can always ask our Israeli lapdogs to conquer them on our behalf
Yes, of course, since they did such a bangup job of killing off the Palestinians so fast that the rest of the Arabs will be nothing. Plus, I know Israel is the military powerhouse of the world...
> Why do we assume a car has to be able to travel at least 400 miles without refueling?
On a long trip, refuelling with gas takes 5 minutes. If you are driving 800 miles you are forced to stop in the middle to fully recharge the car twice. If it goes even shorter distance-per-refueling, it could take you days longer to get there.
> As more efficient generators and methods (nuclear, solar, excercise-club treadmills)
That gave me a great business idea! Open a health club and offer dirt cheap membership. Then, attach generators to all the equipment and sell the electricity (probably back to the power company). Muwahahaha, they'll pay me to be my hamsters!
All I need now is an MBA... Give me a couple days...

> "Can afford a new SUV" == "Fucking Rich".
YFI. Your own logic fails, because most of those people CAN'T afford it. But add into that the tax break, the company they own may be able to afford it.
> If anything, the part might be harder to get a hold of.
Yes, but with a new car you MUST buy brand new replacement parts. With older cars, there have been plenty that have broken down so you can find used parts for it and it therefore costs less.
> with wind power I think Australia could be the next Middle East.
One small problem with that. Running Gigawatts of electricity across an ocean ain't too cheap. Maybe if AU figured out a way to "beam" energy cheaply...

Really? I didn't think BSD was around way back then. When was it (BSD) first created?

It's about an initiative to bring XMas to the heathens of the Middle East!

Gee, and silly me thought that aliens only visited rednecks and "backward" places.

No, they do not. How observant of you.

Yes, of course, because watching fish "fuck" is a much more normal activity than chess.
Try finding a lawyer who actually understands what he reads and your problem will go away. Thanks for the troll.

Please excuse my ignorant (and possibly obvious) question, but is this a reference to "Memento," or is it something else?

Because that portable MP3 player is taking humanity to the next level, eh?
There is currently no technology that is valuable for all humans and "evolves society," whatever the heck that's supposed to mean.
Just because you think the technology isn't globally valuable, it is not necessarily "fake."

Certainly not by having a 2-wheeled "family vehicle."

Just toss it into the ocean, where it won't hurt any people.
> It's the NIMBY factor. Most people could care less about nuke plants, so long as they are being built far away from where they live.
We've got quite a bit of desert here, yet they still aren't built. I think it's more than NIMBY, although I don't know what it IS.

I agree but, come on, you're not going to convince anyone by using a f'ing horrible movie as an example.

Maybe they got caught and are doing this to get out of the lawsuit. If JA weren't scum to begin with, I might actually believe that.
