Really?
It wasn't News Corp or FOX that showd video of a black man carrying a rifle, and then claimed it was a "white racist male". No. That was MSNBC - the media arm of the democratic party. LINK - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MHcCNWVeW4 (be sure to watch the other related videos as well)
Most citizens are too stupid to understand sarcasm. They would either believe you were being truthful about desiring in-home surveillance (and then vote against you), or are trying to insult their intelligence/acting arrogant (and vote against you).

"Yes you can legally own a gun if you have a permit, but you have to prove you have legitimate reason for having a gun and this is usually because its needed in your line of work - ie you are a policemen, soldier, farmer, member of a gun club etc. Its very, very hard to get a gun."
"The 2012 Olympics
Following the awarding of the 2012 Olympic Games to London, the government announced that special dispensation would be granted to allow the various shooting events to go ahead, as had been the case previously for the 2002 Commonwealth Games. However, it was still illegal for Britain's top pistol shooters to train in England, Scotland or Wales. As a result, British shooters currently spend 20 to 30 days a year training in Switzerland, and receive no public sports funding because their events are considered illegal in the UK" - wikipedia
Typical liberal trying to defend communism, by pretending the dark ages of communism in ~10 different countries never happened. The experiment with communism was tried; it failed. It's a flawed system that is doomed to turn away from its intended goal (freedom) toward tyranny.

According to our idiotic U.S. law, you are guilty of hacking a computer service. It doesn't matter that you didn't actually do it - you are presumed guilty, and it's your job to prove innocence. (Kinda similar to that guy who was falsely accused of downloading child porn - he too was presumed guilty until he could prove that it was malware that did it.)
>>>I fail to see how releasing this type of information is a bad thing.
I do. Just as we trust the government to take care of us, we need to trust Microsoft to do the right thing. Microsoft's leaders and the government's leaders are honorable men whose only desire is to see us succeed as human beings.
You're a fucking idiot. You're defending the outlaw of teen comics drawn by Neil Geiman and other famous artists. If teenage superman has sex with his high school girlfriend in some issue, not only will the creator be arrested but also any customers who own it

Rupert Murdoch doesn't want to block Google completely with robot.txt
He merely wants to limit their access, so google will display eye-catching headlines in the search results, but not the actual articles. If you want to see the articles, then he wants you to visit foxnews.com or murdoch.com or whatever other sites he owns. It's up to the techies to make that happen.
Yeah I trust them..... about as much as I trust Minister Conroy's claims that the internet needs to be universally-filtered by the government. I see with my own eyes the Washington D.C. metros running late at night, barely any passengers on board. That's a lot of wasted energy to run ~100,000 pound trains, with frequent stops and starts, and virtually nobody on board. A 2000 pound car would be more efficient.
Thanks. +1 informative. So basically the example of birds getting "uplift" from one another has no application to cars in any way, shape or form.

>>>Maybe there should be car-carrying trains. Or stop building sprawl. Anyway, actual trains are far more efficient than this could ever be.
I'm an environmentalist, but I never felt the need to life in order to push my cause (as you apparently do). Typical trains use the equivalent of 1 gallon gasoline every 25 passenger-miles. My Honda Insight hybrid using that same 1 gallon can achieve 75 passenger-miles (or 150 passenger-miles if I carry a friend).

I'm just kidding. I really don't see any difference between the two... opera 10 seems as "bloaty" as Firefox 3. K-Meleon is nice-and-lean but buggy.

I just read the Cease-and-desist letter. The proper response to such a thing is to tell the lawyer to "fuck off".
But of course that would merely result in you being drug into court by that lawyer.
Freedom of speech is dead.

When a politician or bureaucrat talks to you, what is the proper response?
"Yes masser"
You are a slave. A serf. Get used to it, or fight back before it's too late. Ballot box. Jury box. Soap box. Ammo box. Use in that order.
It's okay I'm well-armed.
Oh wait. I'm not. The UK took-away our right to resist government tyranny too. Dang. I think I'll move to Russia.

Uninstall Firefox. Install Opera.
I'm just kidding. I really don't see any difference between the two... opera 10 seems as "bloaty" as Firefox 3. K-Meleon is nice-and-lean but buggy.
I'd like to see Firefox optimized to run the same as now, but with less memory. I don't understand why programs in the early 2000s could run on only 32 meg, but now they need 256 meg (or more). It makes no sense.
>>>Hang on, did I say I wanted a Firefox upgrade? No, it just happens.
Then turn it off. Firefox 3 is constantly telling me to upgrade, so I just click "no" and it loads instantly without any hassle.
As for bloat, I don't think it's so bad. Right now I have 11 tabs open and only 155 meg Mem usage and 152 meg VM usage. That's not bad.
