Um, WTF? He's the president, he's got the power; he's also got the "I'm the top dog" personality (c.f. "I'm the decider"). Bush is ultimately responsible for his administration's fuckups and illegalities. Well, him plus all the fucktards who voted him in and keep apologizing for his antics.
Not judges, federal prosecutors. Judges are in a different branch of government.
The prosecutors are part of the Executive Branch, which the president heads. I don't agree with doing it, but he's within his rights to fire the previous occupant's prosecutors at the beginning of the term -- probably most of the fed prosecutors are political appointees anyway (which I also don't agree with -- should be career lawyers).
Who cares what the fired attorneys do? If they're any good, they'll get a job with a law firm. If they're just political hacks, they can FOAD for all I care.
A lot of what the Decider has been doing started back in his first term, it's just that it was kept secret until after the second election. Wiretapping, waterboarding-is-not-torture, and so on.
Wait a couple weeks until Feisty (7.04) is released, then download the livecd and give it a try. The user interface has had several improvements since 5.10, including for package installation -- you just have to click on the Applications menu and choose Add/Remove.
Are you using the VMware browser appliance? It's based on 5.10 and is quite out-of-date.
The reason it can't update is because Ubuntu won't release new software revisions within a distro -- 5.10 is stuck with 1.0x, which the package manager can update (within the 1.0x series), and the VMware thing comes with 1.5 that was installed from a tarball, so the package manager doesn't know about it (if it can't update, it's a permissions problem and caused by VMware). If you want newer stuff, you'll have to either find a newer browser-appliance VM that someone else has made, or roll your own from an install CD.
Why should everyone do things exactly as Windows does? That prevents innovation, which can lead to better things.
No. You were whining about not being able to fly around in GTA IV. So the conversation was about flyable vehicles. Don't get your panties in a wad because your comprehension skills suck.
You never even played GTA3, did you? I can tell you my copy had no helicopters. It had something called a Dodo that was a Cessna 150 with clipped wings, so it could glide for short hops.
Talking with authority about something you don't understand makes you look like a jackass.
I have my Debian 2.1 CDs around here somewhere. They're pre-Gnome 1.0, have libc5, and I don't know if X11Amp is on there, since my machine at the time was too slow for X. Want me to check for you?

War Powers Act. Unless Congress repeals it, he can send troops in for IIRC 60 days before having to explain himself.
Admins can tell you that FFS also means "for fuck's sake!" when something goes wrong.
I'd be pretty scared too if someone broke into my house in the middle of the night and started playing Taps.
Yep, I've been keeping my Mosin-Nagant carbine loaded and handy ever since some fuck tried to break in.
That he voted for Bush. Twice.

No shit. I was pointing out that 98 is indeed broken.

There's a substitute teacher who will disagree with you about 98 not being broken.

If you could actually fly the Apache/Hunter in GTA3's ending sequence (*not* Vice City) why can't I find anything on Google about that?
Methinks I'm being trolled.
Jesus, god forbid I point out that someone's a moron. Do I have to say it about Bush to not get modded down?
Those were non-flyable police helicopters, you idiot. You have never played GTA3.

It said aircraft are going away. It didn't say "airplanes". Helicopters are a member of class Aircraft.
Where's my $699 license fee, you cock-smoking teabaggers?
You must be new here.
I'm willing to set up an experiment to see whether that's true.

Do the same adblock trick for zdnet. Does zdnet produce anything worth reading?
