You're not a Luddite, you're just one of the people who are guaranteed to post "I love my Model M!" in any story involving keyboards. So, I'd say you're more of an Evangelist or Proselytizer.
When the green movement can give me technology that at least maintains my current lifestyle, while showing savings on the bottom line within a year or two, I'll go for it.
So you not only require your green technology to surpass existing technology, but it has to save you money as well?
Anyone is free to look at the bible or other related holy documents from both those religions. Yes, there are certain other documents* that you cannot look at but on the whole, anyone can look at the religious documents of both religions.
The second sentence seems to contradict the first. Are you saying that the documents the Catholic church withholds are not "related holy documents" to the bible?
Sites like this could simply be 'blacklisted' if no ISP wil pick them up due fears of prosecution.
The problem here is not the ISP but with the laws that cause those fears. The blacklisting is done with laws, not AUPs.
Spammers being okay with Verio/NTT, what we see here is an illustration of the kinds of behavior the relevant laws were meant to circumscribe. It's harder to make a legal and business case for a political speech site than it is to send people fake ads.
Yes, because the Bush team coerced the CIA to cook up false intelligence and cherry-picked data.
Actually, they just set Douglas Feith up with an office to independently go through unqualified intelligence in order to provide unqualified rationales for the administration's PR strategy for miring the US in an arbitrary war.
The reason the United States doesn't live in fear 24/7...is that we have good guys with guns protecting us from the bad guys with guns who want to harm us...
they purposefully used non-WH servers owned and operated by THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE. No retention rules. How convenient.
You are underinformed. From the WH press conference this morning:
Since 2004, the RNC has had a policy of excluding White House staff from their automatic deletion policy, which means that the RNC every 30 days has automatic deletion policy. Since 2004, it's our understanding, that White House staff who have political email accounts provided by the RNC have been excluded from that policy.
However, it turns out that right when Patrick Fitzgerald was sniffing around the RNC for materials related to the Valerie Plame investigation, the RNC decided that none of Karl Rove's email should ever be deletable. So you have a two-fold challenge: after 2004 the RNC instituted a policy not to automatically delete emails in accounts of RNC users who also worked at the White House; and in 2005 the RNC specifically disabled email deletion on Karl Rove's account.
I really don't agree. In fact, I feel the Wii has the worst ratio of good to bad games out of the next-gen consoles.
Okay, this is just retarded and meaningless. You're using an online ratings site to say what you "feel," that everything besides Zelda sucks on the Wii. The only conclusion I can make is that you haven't played any of them at all, and perhaps you've never even touched a Wii. Wario Ware is an amazing piece of work that actually uses the controls nicely, SSX is great, and if you go to, say, the IGN Wii boards you'll find passionate attachments across the board for many of those games.
A criticism I'd allow is that a lot of the first wave games have been ports of existing games or engines with an updated control scheme to account for the lack of gamepad and all. People don't like SSX because the controls are too hard, other games are too short, and so on. There is definitely a bunch of whining about the learning curve on the controls and I think this is very healthy.
I think what we have here, both in the post I'm replying to and in this story overall is the fact that 90% of the gaming industry was taken by surprise by the Wii's popularity. Everybody thought graphics were paramount and the PS3 was going to blow the world away. So now we have a bunch of gaming touts who got caught out in their predictions and so now have to invent criticisms to re-establish their pundit primacy. The quickest way to predict the future reliably is that things are not very good right now: pessimism is the stock and trade of industry journalists. This isn't to excuse game studios, because most of them had to radically shift gears from the XBox360/PS3/HDTV gaming market to take advantage of the Wii's surprising popularity. So what we see is a lot of repurposed old titles released to fill the channel, then a slow trickle of new games that are specifically tailored to the unique traits of the Wii.
I think history is telling us that Nintendo hit a home run with the Wii, and all the stats nerds are sitting in the bleachers taking potshots at the visiting team for winning the game. XBox and Playstation are the stock in trade for many gamers, so it's predictable that they'd bite back when the cutesy Nintendo nerds get the advantage. Sour grapes in full effect.

Why shouldn't investors share responsibility for the actions of the corporations in which they invest?
Because any rules that hold down profit margins are effectively unconstitutional.
You can call me a hypocrite the day that I sell or share the data with a third party
Are you implying that you wouldn't sell any derivatives of that data?
You keep quoting that movie. I do not think it's as relevant as you think it is.
Try using more words next time, and as a bonus feel free to make some of them your own!

Since when did Copyright Infringement become an issue for Homeland Security to work directly with a specific corporation?
If you need further information about public-private national security cooperation, you only need to look to the airline industry.

Do they make that in an F-series?

What if they had?
They would have taken "action" (whatever that's supposed to mean) against someone who had not done anything but write some stories.

I forget the difference between this and explicit oathing before Congress, but Congressional testimony is always under oath.
The Sheriffs department insists they did no wrong in this, and there pat answer is more or less, "Who cares, he was a child predator?"
I guess now even the Sherriff is exercising Bill O'Reilly logic by ignoring the concept of presumed innocence, since the guy had not been convicted.
That's the point of the "terrorist attack" code. Terrorists use it to create havoc, panic and destruction.
Wait, I thought that was Dick Cheney's job.

This is a myth.
The stretch is one of the deadliest in the State, with fatal single-vehicle wrecks at well over 100 mph.
Single vehicle wrecks? Next you're going to tell us that the Golden Gate Bridge is the deadliest bridge in the country.
Come on, with the rapid-fire way these suits have to be managed for sites like Youtube, you want them to be obligated to verify the complaint?

I sent the Copyright Office an email suggesting they Rastafy him by 10% or so, but they apparently didn't listen.
