#2 - The logistics of holding a "national recount" are simply not possible. Recounting a state alone is bad enough (look at the Dem vote fraud efforts for Franken and the "targeted recounting" of counties, which magically has more votes than voters in several Dem-heavy districts trying to steal the Senate election).
Show me a single county in Minnesota that's reporting more votes than voters. It shouldn't be hard, because you say that there are several. The data are freely available from the Minnesota Secretary of State http://electionresults.sos.state.mn.us/20081104/ so there's nothing standing in your way.
Note: a county that reports more valid votes after a recount than it did on election night is an entirely different thing than a county reporting more votes than voters. The former is a natural result from going back over the data more carefully, the latter is a huge red flag that someone screwed up and would be actual news, instead of a throwaway line muttered by wingnuts.
I'm not saying that the Minnesota recount has gone perfectly, both sides have been pretty childish, but if you're going to complain about it at least complain about real problems.
If the dangers from owning your own nukes are so serious, why haven't we destroyed the world yet - even with some of the so-called religious fundamentalist whackos that people are so afraid of in the White House?
We have destroyed the world, many thousands of times. But thanks to quantum immortality, there only exist observers on those worlds where we haven't destroyed them.
The sole reason that the labels allow Amazon to sell DRM free MP3s is so that Amazon can sell music that plays on iPods. The labels hated the power Apple had as the only store that was selling music that could play on the iPod, which is the only music player anyone cares about. So much so that they were willing to give up on DRM in order to weaken Apple's hand if only just a bit.
Apple should be at a disadvantage, but the fact that iTunes comes bundled with your iPod and that most people really truly don't care in the slightest about DRM means that Apple is perfectly happy to keep its consumers locked in.
It's more like bumping up the speed of your front side bus on your CPU. If you have a slower FSB, you might not ever notice it if you aren't racing your ca... CPU. But when you need that speed, it sure would be nice to remove the FSB limitation.
Did you just use a computer analogy to explain a car problem?
So according to Nintendo, the "rightful owner of an authentic game" is entitled to have a copy to protect against damage or loss, but a Game Copying Device is inherently illegal because the copies it makes can be uploaded to the internet? Where is the legal backup copy supposed to come from? Will they give you a second cartridge if you ask nicely?
The GP has a point, if the price really were higher than what the market could bear we would be seeing a lot more Americans and politicians supporting efforts to reduce the consumption by whatever means necessary.
He didn't say "what the market will bear" he said "what people are willing to pay" which are two entirely different things. You bear something under duress. We've built our society in such a way that a lot of people have no choice to cut back on oil consumption, so the market can bear a lot more than it would if people were acting purely of their wills.
Firefox has a ton of useful plugins and utilities for web development. Trying to make anything more complicated than a trivial static page without firebug is something I never want to go back to.
Don't be insulting God by calling him a low level spellcaster, pls. K? Thx. God might not be a low level spellcaster, but I like to think He is smart enough not to blow a 9th level spell on true res when the body was in a perfectly fine state for the 7th level res. Most of His 9th level slots are taken up by preparing Miracles anyway.
Surely MADD must realize that by going public like this Rockstar gets a ton of free high-profile publicity. Was nobody at MADD aware of GTA III and it's free publicity from various advocacy groups? GTA IV isn't exactly hurting for free high-profile publicity. Every major news outlet had pretty extensive coverage of the release.
If our tax dollars should pay for anything, it should be national defense and to protect this data. I disagree, there's a market solution to this and every problem. Let's see... when the Chinese steal our data, it... ummm... reduces the value of that data to the point where it's not worth stealing? The important thing is that I don't want to pay taxes.

probably? Pearl Harbor is a better Star Trek movie than The Final Frontier.
Gun ownership is a liberty. You seem to have confused Liberalism with liberalism.

You always have the option to boycott that ISP, but if you live somewhere like I do, you only have one broadband option.
I see you're using the sense of "always" that means "occasionally" or even "very rarely."

Doesn't take many sales of something you can get for free to turn a profit, though.

Oil changes are often a loss leader, they make their money by using it as an excuse to say "While I was down there, I noticed that you need done."
Now all they need to do is stop breaking DNS with their SiteFinder ripoff. It was a bad idea when Verisign tried it, it's a bad idea today.

If John Stewart doesn't think antivirus software works, why doesn't he just fix everything with his magic Green Lantern ring?
It's about using enemy's own weapons against him. I refer you to the 1968 Supreme Court ruling in Two Wrongs v. One Right.

He did say "halfway intellectual," which is probably too generous by half.
