I didn't even realize there still was a standalone Netscape offerring. We migrated from Netscape to iPlanet to Sun Web to Sun Java One (or something like that). Anybody out there stick with the Netscape product?
What is Time-Shift Recording? Simply put, time-shift recording allows you to pause a live broadcast and return to it moments -- or even hours -- later and continue exactly where you left off. (it's a lot like a popular TV accessory whose name we can't say...but rhymes with Steve-O.)
A Harris County grand jury will review this morning's fatal shooting of a man who allegedly tried to break into a town house in west Houston.
Joseph Derek Joseph West, 21, was shot in the chest about 2:50 a.m. by a home owner in the 14600 block of Perthshire, police said. West, who lived in the 19300 block of Park Row, later died at Ben Taub General Hospital.
The 51-year-old homeowner, who has not been identified because no charges have been filed, stepped outside to investigate after hearing suspicious noises. Investigators later said the noises were of West trying to enter other town homes.
West allegedly approached the man with his fists raised. Fearing for his safety, the home owner fired once, striking West in the chest, police said.
I would add this point. The justification for the filibuster under the rules is to allow additional debate; to keep the matter open while opponents have the chance to speak against it. But the use the Democrats are making of the "filibuster" here is simply to prevent the vote, permanently. They aren't interested in debate; nobody is unsure of their positions. They simply want to stop the vote, period.
Are we referring to Article II, Section 2, Clause 2?
Clause 2: He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
The Constitution spells out 2/3 for treaties but does not spell out what constitutes "Advice and Consent". It would seem to me that the question remains for the Senate to determine. Consent sounds 1/2 plus 1 but that's not necessarily the case. I may be stubborn or ignorant, but I still don't see this being a constitutional question.
It's Congress' job to regulate itself, not the Court's.
I suspect it's unprecedented, or a misuse of terms, for the Senate to declare its rule to be unconstitutional. It's precisely a question of separation of powers that would keep the Court out of this question.
So, my question stands: How is this a constitutional question?
Thanks for your previous clarification on Marbury vs. Madison.
1) Since Filibuster and Cloture are Senate Rules, on what basis are they being deemed unconstitutional?
2) Since when does the Congress rule of Consitutionality? I thought the point of Marbury vs. Madison was to affirm the power of Judicial review of the Courts.
FYI, the Senate Rules Committee is headed by Trent Lott. The committee's web site is at http://rules.senate.gov/.
Having Moore (point 1, give Republicans a nice, juicy, target) put it on the air right before the election (point 2, transparent attempt to affect the election by a third party) means a counter-offensive by Republicans (point 3, elevate the attacks against the inconsitencies in the movie).
All of a sudden, the Democrats again lose control over the tone and tempo of the campaign (think Swift Vote Veterans) by making the Moore, the movie, and the screening the issue rather than whatever message they think is going to be best. What you end up with is not a debate about the issues raised by the movie but a debate about the movie itself. These distractions are costing the Dems because they prevent focus on the right message.
Case in point, this article is about whether it is even appropriate for Moore to screen the movie.
His message was that Bush-Cheney have surrounded themselves with people who are unaffected by the economic difficulties that regular folks have been facing for the past 4 years and that their economic policies are those of an administration that doen't know what milk costs, what a checkout scanner at the grocery does.
Edwards message is not about Iraq. That's a battle Kerry can't win since his positions are too easily distorable there. Edwards' message can continue to be about Cheney, Karl Rove, the out-of-touch administration. That resonates.
Of course the Republicans tar Edwards by prattling on about "crippling bogus" lawsuits. But there isn't a person out there that wouldn't want the full force of the courts on their side to make someone pay for wrongdoing.
I think my statement stands, although it clearly could be expanded upon. I disagree with your conclusion regarding my logic though. The appropriate sentiment is more like: "Ali is not Muslim, he is Sunni Muslim."
But, in response to the grandparent post, none of this discussion makes Greece the oldest democracy.
I think Hamilton and Madison (Franklin, too) would disagree. Then again, the beauty of the Republic, is that the part about "liberty for all" includes both of us able to disagree on matters, including this one.
I appreciate you not calling me stupid, and though I'll choose to stand by my capitalization, I'll also avoid suggesting that your opinion is derived from ignorance.
Want to energize the Republican base and get them to the polls en-masse? Screen this movie on TV. I think that the Republicans have done a fair job discrediting the movie so far.
Stupid, stupid, Democrats. How can they be fumbling so badly at mounting an effective campaign against Bush? Making Moore a lighting-rod will only guarantee a Bush victory.
I heard an Edwards clip last night. He's still got a good message going. Kerry puts me to sleep. Is it too late to reverse the ticket?
And they don't have half the war room competence Clinton had to respond effectively to Republican half-truths. Of course, when you have so many half-truths of your own...
What's the current legal status of link-to policies? Would it be enforceable for me to put a link-to policy prominently on my site that says something like:
Please ask for permission before you link to me. If you link to me and referrals from your site cause over (volume of traffic), you can be held liable for the cost of bandwidth, etc...
Not that I'll ever have anything personally slashdotted (although a client did withstand a slashdotfarking). But maybe link-to policies could go hand-in-hand with Privacy Policies as site must-haves.
The city states in the area we now refer to as the country of Greece had various forms of government, none of which were representative of all the people. The BBC has a good write-up. In any case, the United States is not a Democracy, it is a Republic.
Yeah, in a heartbeat. As long as the licensing process for driving these suckers was long, expensive, and difficult. And that the minimum driving age was over 21. And that nobody over the age of 65 was allowed to drive these without rigorous yearly examinations. Last thing we need is old folks dive bombing farmers markets too.
I bought "The System of the World" on eBay. So far (200 pages in) it's been well worth the premium (paid <$40). Of course, I liked Quicksilver and loved The Confusion so I'm fairly (unfairly?) biased. Don't worry: I'll be buying the hardcover in October to make sure Mr. Stephenson earns his royalties from me.

I always thought that uncertainty and doubt really referred to the same thing so I propose renaming to either FU or FD. OK, FU.

The 2000 election also defied the popular vote. In a much bigger way.

Put 2 discs in the mail on Tuesday. Got 2 today. I live in the DC area and their local distribution point is 20 miles up the highway in Gaithersburg.

Mine was a trade paperback with no internal artwork (the maps were handy in The Confusion).

It would have made more sense to take the drive out of the machine in order to correct problems on it. Or at least not boot off it...
