That's going to take a lot of time, even more than having equal rights for homosexuals. We here in the states (a majority of us, at least) are really attached to our invisible sky-god and really believe that our country has its blessing, and that it's best not to piss it off by having the government ignore it.
I think it's best to get rid of all the government/religious symbolism, but doing that right now isn't realistic.
Agree about Congress. The congressional Dems need a change of leadership. People like Biden, for example, instead of the political tools Reid and Pelosi.
That was 1996 when he was less experienced. Even if he still thinks that way, the Dems are a man short of a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Don't get your panties in a wad.
If not the NRA, the wingnuts-at-large. I don't buy the propaganda; the worst that will happen is the re-banning of so-called "assault weapons".
I will digress a moment: the political and military definitions of "assault rifle" are worlds apart. In the military world, an assault rifle is a small arm that fires intermediate cartridges (midway in power between pistol and full-size rifle cartridges, such as 7.62x39mm or 5.56x45mm) and is capable of firing semi-automatically and (full-auto or burst).
The political definition includes (from Wiki):
Semi-automatic rifles able to accept detachable magazines and two or more of the following:
* Folding stock
* Conspicuous pistol grip
* Bayonet mount
* Flash suppressor, or threaded barrel designed to accommodate one
* Grenade launcher (more precisely, a muzzle device which enables the launching or firing of rifle grenades)
So much nonsense. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with any of those except for the grenade launcher. In fact, one may easily and legally obtain ex-Yugoslav SKS carbines which include integral grenade launchers, and integral folding bayonets, and which fire the 7.62x39mm intermediate cartridge, semi-automatically. They escape the assault-weapon classification because they have a ten-round fixed magazine.
this problem seems like it could also be solved, to an extent, with decent demos. I pirated Fallout 3 because I wanted to try it out before dropping $50 on this game all my co-workers were raving about, but there was no demo.
I was sufficiently impressed that I bought the game on Steam a few days later.
I don't know why demos aren't as prevalent these days as they used to be; perhaps the downloads would still be huge because of artwork, etc.
Curses! That would explain why my password policy doesn't force automatic expiration over the entire OU. Way to fucking go, Microsoft. That's what/error messages/ are for.
At least that seems to be the only GPO that doesn't completely work.
Aside from N not being a finalized standard yet, you mean. I won't upgrade until that happens, so that I know I won't waste money on incompatible junk.
It's not a name-only thing. If you're not legally married, you don't have visitation rights in the hospital, and you can't make healthcare decisions for your SO, and so on.

And you'd never see a headline like "UK Judge Grants Extradition Review to Nigger Gary McKinnon".
There's no call to use racial bigotry here.
I'm dismayed that there isn't a good way to push out the Registry change to everyone via Active Directory.
If I'm wrong, would someone post a link on how to do this?
for the author to show his superiority to the Internet. None of what he cites really matters.
*Everything* is interstate commerce. Haven't you noticed?

Don't ya just love the republicans these days?
No, I really don't. And judging by the recent election, neither does much of the voting public.
I wouldn't put that past some wingnuts, like those who don't believe he has a legit birth certificate.

Do you remember the KoalaPad? That's what I had on my Apple //c back then.
no.
This must be the first Slashdot post with a GNAA subject line that's been modded "informative" in years.

I can't help but wonder about what would happen if a sufficient number of people in an area used heat pumps, long term.
What would happen if the ground got abnormally warm? Would this cause any problems with ground strength, or soil moisture, or what have you?
I'm genuinely curious here. Has anyone done a study about this?
You think that's a holdover from the days of Communism?

You can assign different password policies (and indeed pretty much any policy) at the OU level with Server 2003. WTF are you talking about?
No, but I remember when Debian was only two CDs, and the second wasn't very full.
Wrong. The solution is mass genocide, so that the United States is just as sparsely populated as Luxembourg and our taxes go down to similar levels.
Vote Genocide in 2010!

Yeah, how the fuck does that Madoff thing work? Is he getting a pass because of the sheer enormity of what he did?
In a vacuum, that could be believable.
Given his administration's penchant for secrecy and ass-covering, it's not.
Aye. 8a to 4:30p, Monday through Friday, with an hour for lunch each day. Only downside is the hour-long commute, each way.
