are these messages trying to tempt people into trying to commit fraud in order to defraud them ?
After having spam detail for a few months at our company when the former sysadmin left and getting to see more than my share of subject lines, I have to say "yes". The spammers prey on three types of people: the naive, the desperate and the degenerate.
"Little Red Hoax" This will get the least press because it disproves slashdot Liberal majority that the Bush Administration is out to get them all.
Well actually, it proves nothing about the Bush administration because it had nothing to do with the Bush administration. It only had to do with a student pulling a hoax and some people taking it on face value that someone wouldn't do such a thing.
It could have easily have happened with Clinton in respect to conservatives. Some would say it did happen.

In the interestation of securitization, the catalogation of the nation's datation should not be left to the ineptitudination of incompetentation corporatizations with a historicalization of not giving full thoughtfulination to securitization.
I'm not arguing for either side and I believe your prediction is a little simplistic. Just admiring the superior linguistic manipulations of the Republicans.
Almost as good at linguistic manipulation as the left.
I'm not saying the Democrats are beneath manipulating language to further their goals but they are nowhere near the masters of it as the Republicans. If the Democrats were better at it than the Republicans, then why are the Republicans the ones in power?
The inferred difference as if republic means a representative system and democracy a direct system is not something I ever heard before.
Well, it's more than inferred at this point. It seems to be a talking point of the Right. This was especially true during the past elections in which people were questioning the electoral system.
"How can someone be elected when the majority of people voted against him?"
"Well, it's a republic not a democracy!"
The Right in the U.S. is so good at linguistic manipulation and media saturation that that distinction between 'republic' and 'democracy' is now very clear to a good portion of the population. I imagine it has quite a bit to do with branding strategies of the actual party name.
Since we're on this, I have one thing to say: DDO and WoW are for completely different types of players. DDO will not be stealing away WoW's subscriber base.
In the case of the four gospels, I've heard it explained like this from members of the 'clergy' (a fuzzy distinction in some sects) in pentacostal/charismatic circles. Since there are discrepancies between the four accounts of Jesus's birth and adult life [on earth] some kind of explanation was warranted. The teaching that I've heard in this regard is that it's similar to four witnesses standing on different street corners at the same automobile accident. All four people will tell the story of the accident in four differing ways yet they will all be telling the true story.

Male, yes. 18-30 no (34). Friends 18-30, no (18-50something). Females, yes.
Anyway, I understand the basics of demographics and have actually worked in the television industry. Not thinking I am any representative sample of anything. Just that it is not *that* unusual to enjoy docu/edu/whatever channels. There's actually a reason they exist and have been around for quite a while, relatively.
If you are talking to another GAIM user with the encryption plugin you can use the encryption protocol. You can set it to auto-initiate encryption on a per-user basis.
By the way, don't blame the testers. They can sometimes catch bugs and either developers ignore them or it's deemed acceptible by the producer to get the product out the door because the publisher is breathing down his or her neck.

My current car is a '73 VW bus. No fancy automated driving in that beast.
Fear!!!! Scare!!!! Run hide!!! We will protect you at any cost!!!! It's for your own good!!!
Pitiful.
Oh god, you're cracking me up over here. Slashdot has the best comedians...
Or a patch?
I would prefer to just throw all of these things down the aHole and forget about them.

No
The A in AIM stands for America.
Well, technically I believe it stands for "AOL".
Catalogation
In the interestation of securitization, the catalogation of the nation's datation should not be left to the ineptitudination of incompetentation corporatizations with a historicalization of not giving full thoughtfulination to securitization.
You know, typing in a bunch of words that relate to one topic (IE: Satan, Witchcraft, Evil, Pagan, etc.)
Those words do NOT all relate to one topic.
has nothing to do with republic vs. democracy, nor with left vs. right.
Bingo! That was exactly my point regarding the "republic vs democracy" linguistic mangling.

To be honest, this just sounds like so much sour grapes...

Yeah, didn't fly with me either....
Yes! "Modjacking" is the official new word in the modosphere.

(sorry have to say it) So does GAIM...
If you are talking to another GAIM user with the encryption plugin you can use the encryption protocol. You can set it to auto-initiate encryption on a per-user basis.
So someone like me who watches things that aren't so popular such as Animal Planet, National Geographic Channel, Food Network, DIY Network, etc
Actually, you're probably not as alone as you think. Everyone I talk to that still watches TV typically watches those channels or similar ones.
Hey, interesting thanks for posting that.
Also... nowhere in TFAs is the E-ring connection to Enceladus mentioned. Unless I just somehow missed it.
