thanks for sharing your thoughts. he also very curious about native-american languages, and respected their lifestyle. one of his letters also showed some regret in having owned slaves, if i remember right.
i don't find dentists very ethical. they put mercury in your mouth, and they don't ever tell you about the pros and cons and options you have for different repairs like a doctor would. they don't tell you how a metal filling requires them to drill away more of the tooth than the other choices like ceramic or composite resin.
a fear of retaliation should help keep criminals in check. if they had a choice between going to my house or your house for a burglary and they knew how we thought, they probably wouldn't pick my house. as far as shooting a criminal, for me it depends on what the criminal is stealing for. if he is stealing for drugs, or because he is too lazy to get a real job, or just have a love for crime, such a person does not deserve to live among society and cause grief for the rest of us. a right to own a gun should be my right as long as society and the justice system think it is okay to let murders and rapists out to make room for a drug dealer.
people who would burglarize are the kind of no-empathy-having oxygen-thieves whose self-centered motivations cause all the misery in the world. examples of people like you that think we shouldn't pump some rounds of lead into their useless noggins are reason why youngsters these days have no empathy.
well i wonder why the geforce 3d vision causes about a 50% frame rate drop...maybe nvidia can come out with newer cards that are more optimized and work as well as you say the ps3 3d mode works.
i dont think psp is powerful enough to run an NTSC SNES game well. besides, since the pandora is open, i expect programmers will take a stronger liking to optimizing their programs for it. they might know how to take advantage of it's hardware better since sony probably keeps the best psp programming secrets for themselves.
I'd be happier with a high-resolution head-mounted display with head-tracking capability. With that I can look up or down and it'd be as if I had displays completely surrounding me. It'd also be a lot more immersive. So for anyone with the money to spare, when HMD's with their stereoscopic 3d capability get high-resolution, what's the point of this for gamers?
but the market hasn't really been free. people here don't forget how these internet providers wasted 200 billion that was supposed to be used to build up the internet infrastructure here. 200 billion just completely wasted...

the point is, the reason why we have limited competition might be because that 200 billion was just pocketed by those big companies, strengthening their ability to compete with anyone else not getting that loan. why did that loan go to businesses that were already big?
didn't the internet really take off without regulation? will regulation of the internet actually help, or just open the gateway for big business to control the markets in ways that favor themselves and hurt any chance of competition? will it give the CIA more opportunities to deal with problems like WikiLeaks, once the government gets its tentacles deeper into how the internet is managed?

must be because newspapers are more democratic. the FTC wouldn't want to be bailing out talk radio (conservative) at this time
with what i've read about him, i'd say Thomas Jefferson wasn't a racist.

you are the ONLY one. the rest of us want to be able to judge distances better and enhance our gameplay techniques and state of immersion with 3d.
did someone figure out a way to get free 3d processing with an SPU, or is this going to drop the frame rate by half as the Geforce 3d Vision does?

but it is the same justification for why a woman can show the whole breast but put a little asterisk over the nipple, like janet jackson did.
True deregulation combined with the wonder of fiber would be that anyone with enough capital could start laying down lines and start their own ISP.
Sadly, most places have a government encouraged monopoly.
sounds like a good idea to me
