There might be many potential greats, but there are so many avenues for us as listeners to chose from. We could easily miss something great because of all the noise. Back then, there was the radio. And we had great stations. Now radio blows for the most part.
And yes, I guess I am getting old, so stay of the grass will ya!:)
He just doesn't get them. Pink Floyd is one of Rock's true gems. Consider the album Animals. It is a great critique of the condition of man. The album art was also very good.
I have been a user and an administrator of Sun products for close to twenty years. Seeing how many of their products ended up in linux and BSD amazes me. How many other industries does thing like that happen? Sun is no more evil than any commercial company. Saying Sun is MS hand puppet is just fan boyish rhetoric that does not belong in any serious debate of issues.
Pamela Jones has a bug up her arse about Sun. Her extreme stances is what drove me from visiting her web. It is one thing to have ideological differences with others, it is quite another to act rabidly about it.
The modern man is what he owns. He who dies with the most toys wins.
Early man walked away As modernman took control There mind's weren't all the same And to conquer was their goal So he built his great empire And he slaughtered his own kind He died a confused man And killed himself in his own mind.
Any SUV owners reading this? Look forward to watching the second hand sale value of your vehicle plummet even while fuel costs rise to the point where you can no longer afford to drive your (now) useless vehicle.
Don't like it? Bad luck. You can't say you weren't warned. LOL... Obviously you live in a land that is well paved and boring. Driving an SUV is mandatory if you like mountains, deserts and other open spaces. They are poor for daily driving unless you live in the above mentioned places.
I agree it would have been laughable if this 15 year old Anonymous guy had been prosecuted. I'd throw the book at Rahman though. And rewrite it and throw it again if the first time didn't do the trick. I am in the camp that believes that as long as only words are used, don't prosecute. Their words will be beacon illuminating the fact that the person speaking those words are a complete loon!
The US' GPS system is dated and on the verge of becoming unreliable. Many of the sats are well past their anticipated lifes. Two of the US sats are expected to fail in the next year or two. Several missions to replace these sats have been pushed back or scrubbed over the years. Which ones are dated? USA has launched five different versions with the newest one scheduled for next year.
"I'm not an anti-semite, I'm just anti-Israel" ranks up with "I'm not a racist, some of my best friends are (black, hispanic, asian, etc)" on the bullshit-o-meter, buddy. You, sir are a loon. I cannot stand what the current US government is doing and has done. I also love USA, the Constitution and the People. According to you I hate USA.
I was born in SoCal in 1962, and lived there my whole life. I done a lot of traveling to Europe and such. I love USA!!! There is no place I'd rather live.
It is entirely possible to hate the sin but love the sinner.
I want marijuana legalized. Which party should I vote for? Sounds good... Dems, Libertarians, Green Party.
I want it illegal to contribute to more than one candidate in any given race. Which party should I vote for? Why? Especially as long as this race has been going on, I have moved through four candidates that I have supported.
I want federal laws to expire after 5 years. Which party do I vote for? I would love this as long as the laws to be renewed can be fast tracked so as to not dominate all the time available to the legislators.
Which Party? It would have to be a new one.
I want it illegal to accept contributions from anyone who isn't eligible to vote for you. Which party should I vote for? Like a foreign person? A person in another Party can vote in the general election for whomever they wish.
I want the Bono act repealed and copyright terms scaled back to 20 years. Which party should I vote for? Pirate Party.... arrrrrrr
I want the DMCA repealed. Which party should I vote for?
I want the PATRIOT act repealed. Which party should I vote for? A new party.... Some Dems and some GOPs have shown interest in repealing these, but Cheney and Rove has gotten the people so scared of their own shadow, that it will take very brave individuals to do this.
I know it's not the Republicans, nor the Democrats. I couln't care less about gay "marriage" or many of theissues the Republicrats are for or against at all. Neither of the two partys represents my interests. Both parties represent the big corporations, who bankroll their elections. Your ideas intrigue me. I would like to subscribe to your newsletter....
you can live in staunch denial and mark me as your enemy but I'm just a voice among the throng who want a brighter destiny they say with me we are the new america
OK... I do agree with your points. Germany probably would have fallen without Operation Overlord, but with it, it made Nazi Germany suffer even more during the war, and made it MUCH better for those not under USSR rule after the war.
I would say that I tend to get *sensitive* when I keep hearing that it was all USSR and not the Western countries. You would think reading/. I would become immune to it...;)
Good old USA, making a profit out of everyone's misery. So now providing resources to other Countries during war must be done at the providers cost? Wow.... Also, I think USSR might not have been required to pay us back, since they did not have the money.
Guess you forgot about the weapons your sold to the Nazis too then? Look up some bush family history... Bush != Government at that time. Only now does the Bush crime family have that power.
Good job pointing out the fact that it was the Soviet army that did the lion's share of the task. Please familiarize yourself with the Lend Lease Act. The factories in USA is what made it possible for the USSR to even have an army.
I find your lack of history knowledge disturbing. Please familiarize yourself with the Lend Lease Act. If it were not for the factories in USA, Europe would have been doomed.
Maybe you should move to another country... one with less propaganda.
Let me guess, you live in that country where just going to Cuba, coming back and saying "I went to Cuba and it was very nice, and look, I brought you back some cigars." is a criminal offense. Am I right? Funny, maybe you should move to another country with that teaches better reading comprehension. Your claim that Cubans are happy because everything is provided and they don't need anything else is just ridiculous. OK, that is my opinion. But, just so happens that one of my best friends is Cuban, and his take on it is a bit different than yours. Granted, (and here is the read comprehension part), I did not say anything negative about Cuba other than Freedom of Speech issues. That does not mean there are or are not other issues. Maybe it is just me, but I tend to hold the Right to say my government is horrible, (and it is now), as something that I could not live without.
Even though the main stream media here might suck ass here, I have the ability to find other views. This is something I do all the time.
You are seem to have fallen for binary debate. Life is not binary. It is analog. Personally, I think the USA trade restrictions with Cuba are as stupid as they come. Kill 'em with kindness I say. And if that don't work, then the same thing except without the kindness.....:)
Worked for Cuba. No one has any money, because no one needs any money, because everything is available without it, and everyone is happy, except the capitalists who can't get in there with their clever contracts and turn the nation into a dairy cow. Huh? Last I heard saying your government sucks in Cuba will send you to prison.... I guess some people have different definitions of Happy.
The court rulling wasn't spelled out in the treaty. It isn't the law of the land. Only what is signed is the law of the land. If the treaty subjected us to a court, then that ruling needs to be explicit enough so congress can make laws accordingly. And the US supreme court can rule on the constitutionality of the treaty and make it unconsitutional- null and void.
You see, we can't negotiate our sovereignty away regardless of any treaty. Any treaty has to be in line with the constitution and can only limit the federal government to the powers the constitution gives it. If it doesn't, the SCOTUS can rule on it and reject it. If we are subject to a court ruling, as apposed to an automatic clause that would already be present and law by the treaty when signed, and this rulling demanded something other then what was present when the laws were made, a new law would need to be made to comply with it. True, but from Article Six of the Constitution...
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. That kind of contradicts what you said.
Given the way this administration has been handling Foreign Policy, this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone... Even though this administration makes me ill, I'd have to agree with them on this one.
From TFA,
The so-called "Irish Music" dispute concerns the portion of US copyright law that lets restaurants and shops play broadcast music without compensating the copyright holders. As previous coverage of this issue shows, Europe takes a fairly hard-line stance on these payments; a UK car repair chain was even targeted by collecting societies because its mechanics played their radios loud enough that customers could hear them. wow... So if my radio is too loud I have to pay money to some RIAA of Europe? I would say that this is not one of Bush's most evil moments.
Is this something they teach in schools in the US? I find it bewildering that so many people from that country have this extraordinarily unbalanced view of WWII.
Had the UK gone turtle we'd have survived fine without the US. Had the USSR not had US materials/equipment they'd maybe have lost 25m men not just the 20m they did lose. Check out the staggering amount of stuff USSR received from the USA. I think you are underestimating how critical this was to USSR's survival.
You already had to do that if you meant to communicate with other people. You're not very smart if you didn't realize that. It all depends on who I wish to speak to. If it is another adult, I expect a certain level of intelligence. I don't know about you, but I don't usually like to have conversations with idiots.

This OS is optimized for specific hardware. It would probably not work very well on just any PC. Or at least that is what I got from TFA.
Yes, there is a difference. But where is the line? And who gets to draw the line? There can be too much abuse with line maintenance.

The huge difference is that China is a rival and thus requires different rules than Cuba, which is more like a small puppy.
