Haven't used epiphany in awhile, but that it is usable on a 266mhz machine perks up the ears. I've got this oddball 650mhz UltraSparc laptop which takes a good while to do anything in Firefox, so I'd like something a bit zippier.
"let me just point out that by dumping communist and nazis into a same basket you are implying that it is only by chance that USA fought AGAINST Hitler in WWII and not ALONG SIDE him against those red bastards."
How do you come up with such an idiotic inference? It is only chance that the US and the Soviet Union were allied in WWII; it was an alliance of convenience. With no attack on Russia by the Nazis (and presuming the Soviets would not have attacked Germany later on) the there would have been no alliance between the US and the Soviets against Nazi Germany. The only way for the US and the Germans to have wound up both fighting Russia would have been for the Soviets to declare war on the US. If Pearl Harbor never happened AND no country declared war on the US, then the US would not have entered WWII. If Pearl Harbor happened AND Nazi Germany did not declare war on the US then the US would have only fought Japan. The Soviets only declared war on Japan when that war was damn nearly over.
The Soviets had no problem with their Nazi buddies during the Molotov-Ribbentrop lovefest. Had that pact held and Nazi Germany declared war on the US and if the Soviets had decided that maintenance of that pact was of the highest priority, then the US might have had to face a combined Nazi-Communist Alliance.
It is perfectly possible to despise them both you know.
Why am I bothering with this? You think that the US and Nazi Germany are morally equivalent but that the Communists were morally superior to the Nazis and thus to the US.
Never thought I'd actual see a Nazi AND Communist apologist on Slashdot, but denzacar here apparently is one... Do you masturbate to Holocaust photos?
Anyone who can actually assert that Bush, as bad a president as he is, is the equivalent of Hitler and Stalin can only be a drooling idiot lacking in even rudimentary reasoning skills.
I'll withdraw the joke, but only in regards to Los Angeles.
San Francisco, on the other hand, is the Anti-American capital of America.
Your comment about social conservatives only demonstrates that you have no damn idea what you are talking about. A relative handful of crackpots do not make a representative sample. Does the relatively larger percentage of social liberals who make up the "America deserved it" for not engaging in social justice (a code phrase for a totalitarian anti-democratic secularized Inquisition) camp speak for all of them, indicating that all social liberals are treasonous?
The Soviet battle plan was for a conventional invasion for permanent conquest so of course they would not precede that with a nuclear strike. The NATO battle plan was designed around a defense in depth. Acknowledging that would require you to be something other than a troll.
"The rulers of the west had one thing in common with Hitler, they both despised the idea of Socialism in the form adopted by Russia."

Communist apologists are morally equivalent to Nazi apologists as the two ideologies in practice are genocidal, despotic and enslaving.
"a substantial subset of the population actually wants to get the disease, so people are actively seeking it out for themselves so they can spread it."
Why does the media flip out over a few points difference in math scores where girls do not do as well, while the fact that the suicide rate for boys is five times higher than that of girls is mentioned only to be discarded, like in this weeks Time magazine?
To my friends who see the blatant unconstitutionality of this act, remember Wickard.
A farmer named Wickard, in the 1950s I believe, was sued by the Federal Government for having commited the heinous crime of growing too much wheat. Here are the facts of the case, which are undisputed.
The farmer was growing more wheat than the statute permitted. The wheat never sold. The wheat never left the farm; it was fed to the cattle.
The Supreme Court of the United States determined that Mr. Wickard had indeed violated the law and that the law was constitutional. Why?
If Mr. Wickard had not grown the wheat, he MIGHT have bought it. If he had bought it, it MIGHT have come from another state. If it had come from another state, then it would be interstate commerce. Therefore, Mr. Wickard engaged in interstate commerce.
So she held up a digital camera during a movie and thought nothing of it.
This girl is a thoughtless brat.
Every digital camera I am aware of has a viewscreen. So during a movie which she was not the only one in attendance, she does something which demonstrates that she gives little consideration to where she is or how it will most likely annoy the hell out of those behind her. This is not even considering the utter stupidity which she demonstrated in thinking of recording a bit of a movie in the first place.
In a parallel announcement, Apple announced that Leopard would be delayed by an additional two months. While the immediate cause is presumed to be the ordered removal of ZFS from Leopard, insiders claim that the root cause was "a hissy fit."
Oh come off it. The stuff you list will be available before the game ships. Therefore they will be far too old to play the game. You'll have to wait at least a year after release for the minimum spec hardware to be of limited availability.
There is no continent of America. There are continents called North America and South America. The people of the United States do not call themselves North Americans. Should you still be confused, there is a solution. Memorize the fifty states of the Union and everytime someone perplexes you with "I'm American" ask him or her which state he or she is from and then you can think of them as a Montanan from Montana, a Floridian from Florida, a Kook from California and so on.
So these guys enabled people to be able understand what the characters are saying in a movie.
I can see why this would be a threat to Hollywood.
After all, who will want to see the bulk of these films when it becomes common knowledge that behind the beautiful people and gorgeous back drops are atrocious dialogue and paint-by-numbers plots.
But I fail to see much difference between that and socialists, communists, fascists, libertarians, or any other ism: "Power to the people... as long as they agree with us!"
(I lump libertarians in here because in a social order run along libertarian lines, those non-libertarians would lack the power to enact their understanding of a proper social order.)
So a left wing propaganda group trying to pass itself off as non-partisan, which has a show on NPR which is mostly leftist propaganda passing itself off as news, is complaining about corporate propaganda being passed off as news?

I've had 2 vastly different experiences with ATI:
1) Toshiba Satelite had an X600. Worked like a charm.
2) A Compaq desktop with X200. Total fuckage.
ATi seems to drop support after a worryingly short time. Dunno how that's gonna work out.
Maybe I'll get in touch with Dell and see what they say about that possibility.
