It has more to do with social programs than guns, my friend.
I'm a liberal gun owner. The reason I could never support the libertarian party is because I think government agencies such as the FDA, EPA, and OSHA are worth having around. They aren't perfect, but I trust government regulators to keep the food supply safe more than I do private business owners. I don't want America to descend back to the 1800's, where no modern society exists.
He endorsed the handgun ban in Chicago, not the state of Illinois. There is a huge difference. Given the recent surge in mass killings, the assault weapons ban isn't looking too bad.
The fact is that Obama has never called for a national ban on guns. At all.
Obama has never suggested we ban personal guns. How a totally idiotic comment like this gets modded "insightful" boggles the mind. I guess this place really is being overrun by right-wingers.
Oh and BTW. Booth was not a patriot, he was a traitor of the highest order.
When we count it isn't mere pattern recognition.
These chicks are not counting the number, and choosing which one has the correct answer. They're picking the group that they recognize and are familiar with. It's not mathematics.
Do a software mod on an Xbox, install Xbox Media Center, Damn Small Linux, and a whole catalog of ported emulators that covers everything from Mame to a Playstation emulator and everything in between.
XBMC can use samba shares to stream movies/music from a PC.
Damn Small Linux lets you browse the web.
Emulators lets you play an entire library of classic games.
Explain something for this layman.
If Bob and Carol were going the same speed, wouldn't bob be passed point A just like Carol is? Why would Carol's transmission to Bob arrive at point C, instead of a location past point A?
What's to say the chicks just aren't recognizing a simple pattern? Just because they could see that the larger group had moved from one side to the other doesn't mean they were counting, it just means they recognize the pattern, and went to the one they were familiar with.
Hey I saw a report on CBS news about how devastating this worm would be. So I'm sure that this isn't a slashdotted page, but the first in a cascade that will surly bring down the global internet!
See it's this type of criticism of Windows that gets under my skin. Have you actually used Windows lately? I can easily download FFDshow and VLC media player and be covered on every type of media format. You do realize that most open source programs have been ported, right?
I agree 100% I'll take Fallout over Fallout 3 any day.
Bethesda probably spent more on marketing for Fallout 3 than Interplay spent making Fallout, and I'm willing to bet that people who love the franchise will still be playing Fallout long after they uninstalled and forgot about Fallout 3.
A netbook will never be manly.
Unless it has a fold out blade, scissors, tweezers, awl, saw, a length of fishing string and a couple of waterproof matches in a tiny hidden compartment.
Great point. Many people that live in the cities don't seem to think about the effect on small rural communities.
I've seen people suggest that Twitter would/is becoming a new form of journalism in this thread, but that's just utter rubbish. It might be for the 20 something crowd that only cares about hearing news from their group of friends, but I don't see too many Americans replacing their morning newspaper with twitter any time soon.
I've seen the effect first hand when most of the local owned radio stations here were bought out by Clear Channel. Stations that were once very responsive to the local communities issues, news, and needs, were overnight transformed in to impersonal corporate stations that played nationally syndicated shows that have no care in the world about what is happening in the small communities. I don't think Twitter will fill the void left by small home town newspapers. It's quite short sighted and naive to think that it will.
It didn't take long for the followers of non-profit libertarian think tanks to chime in about how good it will be when those that can't earn a buck will finally die.
Without newspapers, "news" sites like drudge would cease to exist as well because all he does is copy/past articles from real journalists.
If Drudge is 21st century, then why does his webpage look like it was designed in 1993?

Why not extend the Public Library model to the internet? Would that make books too convenient to read?
Where have you been just this past week alone? We've had 3 mass killings in 3 days...

Stop getting your news from Fox and right-wing talk radio.
No capability for critical thought, or nuance.
Your time line there for the cold war is pretty simplified, and not accurate...

It's not speculation that the data center was raided and shut down, including businesses that aren't doing anything wrong...
It's all over p2p networks, it's in IRC channels, it's on usenet. Good luck getting rid of all traces of it.

Modded Xbox + Xbox Media Center + Damn Small Linux + a library of console emulators = one awesome machine for fairly cheap.

If you just spam-click the refresh button, it will surly make the webpage run smoother! :)

I'm not sure if he did in the book, but in the Alan Smithee (David Lynch) film version, he did.

I wonder what the OP thought the name Associated Press was in regards to...
