I used to be careful to separate my professional online profile from my personal online profile. Since I never refer directly to my work on line and I am intentionally vague when referring to friends who may not be cool with the online thing, I no longer care that you can see the real me vs the professional me and if you wouldn't hire me because of what you've seen on my personal site, well, fuck you I wouldn't want to work with you anyway.

What paper? Does it have a title? Has it been published in a peer reviewed journal? I've never used the word "quack" but I, still, have yet to see any articles published in peer reviewed scientific journals that make you case.
There are serious scientists who question the theory that global warming or climate change as it's more properly called now is caused by human activity.
You still didn't answer my question: Would you point me to some serious scientific studies in peer reviewed journals that show this?

"playing violent videogames can lead young men to believe it is acceptable to smoke marijuana and drink alcohol"
If this also works on older men, I'd be willing to give my copy of GTA3 to a Senator or Representative in the hopes that it would change their minds about smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol, to make it legally acceptable.
That's surviellence of an enemy, and given the Presidents power to wage war, it's not any stretch of the imagination that this sort of activity is within his authority.
Congress determines that authority.
Do you think that Britain and the US got warrants when they were trying to break Germanys enigma code in World War 2?
Last I checked Germans weren't American citizens and afforded the rights granted by the Constitution
A significant majority of the US population approves of this activity
Apparently you have read any polls lately.
If you don't want to be monitored by the government, then don't talk to overseas agents of an organization that has killed Americans, wants to kill more, and is killing our troops every week. It's not that complex.
The FOIA request wants to make sure that that is really the case. Negligence and poor planning is what is killing a lot of our troops every week.
To those who are worked up about this, I question your seriousness about preserving our country.
Preserving our country means preserving the system of check and balances and assures that no one is above the law.
I question your patriotism.
Blind following of leadership is not as patriotic as questioning it.
Actually I've taken several, this will loose me some/. cred but I have a business degree. But I think you agreeing with my point, the non-leaders try to associate with the leaders, while the leaders never mention the others.
I may be going out on a limb here. But they don't advertise it, they only combat it via PR, there hasn't been an MS commercial on TV that says "We are better than Linux because..." all of the anti-Linux stuff hasn't been in ads but in press releases and seminars.
I would argue that Oracle was not (is not) not the market leader for %99.999 uptime things. Oracle may be "the shit" to many but banks, insurance companies and exchanges use DB2 (I mean shit the high end DB2 main frames have three processors, in general operation proc 1 and proc 2 compare to make sure that that the results are the same an if they don't agree, they talk to number 3 to decide and before you know it, there is an IBM tech at your door to fix it) this is not the level that Oracle is at yet.
The point that you are missing is that ( and this is a rule of marketing) is that the market leader never mentions the any competitors, but the rest of the companies ALWAYS mention the number one company so that potential consumers will equate their product with the market leader. Think about how often Pepsi mentions Coke in their ads but Coke NEVER mentions Pepsi. This is literally taken my from Marketing 101 class that I took oh so many years ago.
The game won't be free (for download at least) because with out modding you PS2 or X-Box you can't burn your own games. And I consider it a waste of tax dollars to distribute it any other way, thank you DRM mongers!

I'm with you on the back lit keyboard, but as for calling it crippled, I'm not so sure, I personally don't know of any people who use GB ethernet. For me the key Powerbook specs are the DVD burner on the 12inch and that that the PB can drive DVI out so I can use it with my projector. After carrying around a 12in for a while the 15in seems big and heavy.
Just connect the spigot to my house, and get the fuck out of my way. I pay you every month, you give me uncensored bandwidth. Anything beyond that begins to tick the needle on the annoyance meter
You've basically boiled down speakeasy's terms of service. As for bundled software, I never received any software from them. Just a modem and 6/768 connection, with 5 static IPs and no limits on what I do with it. http://www.speakeasy.net/tos/
Actually as someone who recently moved from a use what ever editor you like as long as Ant still ran. To a VS environment I would have to disagree. Eclipse is a great dev env, it has things like knowing that if you change a method signature where you are going to screwed over, if you change an member var name it will ask about updating all of your getters and setters and where they are called, it has some level of built in versioning that understood method changes apart from your just plain edits that also allowed for undo beyond control Z couple that with real CVS integration and you have a kick ass system. VS doesn't even integrate with Source Safe well.
Learning From Example Early polls showed that Kerry was in the lead so I declared him president! Later it was found out that the polls were wrong, but since I already declared him president I'm going to refuse to admit my mistake or even call it, a "mistake." With thinking like this I may be able to get a job advising policy for the administration.

Check this out and the response of the scientist who anti-global warming stuff is based on and finally this study of peer reviewed journals (ie not armchair science)

I would argue that Biblical and Liberal are not mutually exclusive.

Yeah, there is something you're missing: the fact that most people are idiots
Yes and by most you mean 59,459,765 (in the US at least)
