    I'm just guessing, but Google would probably offer the ability to connect to the other four major services through their client, ala Kopete|Gaim|Trillian. I think the Jabber protocol supports this. And if they use Qt, they could simultaneously release Linux, win32 and OSX clients. (I know they could use Gtk, but why torture us?)

    He wouldn't have to worry about repercussions - he'd be living in a palace in my country and I wouldn't allow him to be extradited.

    If you were smart, you'd have him killed. There's no way you can trust a guy that sabotages his own country's defense systems for money, because it's only a matter of time before your enemy approaches him.

    More and more states are making these available, some on a shall issue basis, as they see the benifits of lower crime in other states that have done so.

    Ahh, well...I live in a commonwealth founded by Quakers. In 2002 we ranked 44th in the country for violent and property-related crimes per 100,000. We do allow CCW, as well as abortions for some and miniature flags for others.

    No throwing your vote away is voting for someone just because you don't think anyone else can win. It's a self fullfing prophecy.

    Those clowns acted like jocks act pretty much the world over. If you met them at a party and they were tripping pretty hard, they would babble at you with some sheepish grin on their faces, but the rest of the time they were getting into fights, date-raping girls, tricking out cars, getting drunk, and refusing to pay for abortions just like the rest of 'em.

    Then you didn't read far enough before you responded. For a good number of the charts that show dollar amounts (many show percentages of GDP, unemployment, etc.), some are in non-adjusted dollars, but many are in adjusted dollars.

    Flood them with paper as you are flooded with spam, and I guarantee they'll finally get off their asses and do something about the problem instead of just lip-service laws with no enforcement.

    Yes, they'll have you arrested under some vague and frightening anti-terrorist law.
