You're out of your mind. Bush keeps signing laws that take money from the poor and give it to the rich. He uses the Constitution to wipe his ass and sacrifices thousands of lives to advance his geopolitical agenda. His administration is a monster, the likes of which the world has not seen since Hitler tried to dominate Europe.
The SOB should be locked up in one of those non-existent foreign prisons and subjected to legal torture until he admits to his crimes.
You're absolutely right, but before we can stop this runaway freight train, we need to slow it down. There's nothing we can do about the Judicial branch. We have to wait until '08 to change the Executive. The only thing we can do in the near future is to take away the GOP's congressional majority. As much as it pains me to say it, the best way to do that will be to vote Democratic (and in some cases independents or minor party candidates).
Use your vote wisely. If your ideal candidate is unelectable, then choose another.
It's a pure power-grab. The executive branch of the federal government has a sick head. They don't want to end terrorism, they want to control it. They *are* the terrorists. Iraq didn't actually have WMD, but Bush scared us into a quagmire of a war with them anyway. If that's not terrorism, I don't know what is.
Energy prices have tripled since he took office. Bush and Cheney's oil buddies are all getting rich while the median standard of living is declining. Now to show us what a good job they're doing, they're running a sale on oil until the November elections. After the elections, they'll try to jack the price up even higher than it is now. Be on the lookout for last-minute scandals involving Democratic candidates uncovered (leaked to fox news) by federal intelligence operations.
They have fooled a lot of people for a long time. Bush may be a dolt, but the people carrying him on their shoulders are not. They have a stated goal of reforming the world, and they have been quite effective so far.
funky elections (how lucky for Bush that his brother was governor of Florida) "botched" intelligence about 9/11 attacks (dog ate the report) lies about wmd, a war of aggression, thousands killed, enormous deficit spending, lost credibility in the world rampant corruption in congress (K Street), especially in the GOP spying on citizens, ignoring lessons learned in the 70's (FISA) rich getting richer, others getting poorer civil rights of citizens diminished, executive power seemingly endless Osama's still out there
I hope that come November everyone votes honestly according to how they have personally been affected by the 3/3 GOP controlled branches of federal government. The pendulum has swung too far. This time around, we need anything but Republicans.
I salute this guy. The cocksuckers in Washington are our own worst enemies.
IMO, this is more evidence that Bush's "War on Terror" is nothing more than a facade designed to cover up one of history's biggest robberies. What's a suitable punishment for someone who hijacks a country of 300 million with lies, crimes and stolen elections? GWB should be drawn and quartered on the Washington Mall.
The most important thing with regard to protection against airline terrorism is that the bad guy not be allowed to take control of a 3.3 terajoule aircraft (guided missile). The solution is to lock the cockpit door. El Al understood this 30 years ago and the FAA realized that it was true on the morning of 9/11.
You and your parent poster are both right because a wiki is nothing more than a collapsed forum. When I read/. at threshold==5 it's the same thing as reading a wiki without looking at the deltas.
The bottom line is that the process will be more transparent and more open to correction than the current system.
"One laptop per kid" isn't necessary. Even if there's only a single connected computer in the whole village, it will vastly expand their horizons.
One of the great tragedies of poor countries is that a little knowledge could help them make much better use of their limited resources. If I couldn't afford a pair of shoes, I'd google for information about making some... if I had access to the Net.
Cleaning up the emissions from a hundred million cars means telling a hundred million peons that they are responsible for maintaining one vehicle. That's simple compared to telling a hundred lobbyist-paying energy companies to maintain one power plant.
Just look at the White House's Clear Skies program. It allows antique coal plants, which were supposed to be phased out in favor of cleaner ones, to increase their capacity without being subject to the regulations on new plants.
Gasoline cars in the U.S. are cleaner than electric power plants.
A better product was MS's own format program. It really doesn't matter how good or bad the virus detection software is. The ubiquity of the defective Wintel platform guarantees that those who run it will always be vulnerable. I thank them for leaving their keys in the ignition so that my own ride can remain relatively safe.
Mod me a troll if you want; I don't care. I've had a shitty day and after a few beers it feels good to laugh at someone else's problems.
"But... the teacher (aka "the victim") felt threatened."
But was it a reasonable for him to feel threatened after the police and the doctor had investigated the situation?
Anyway, I should have paid more attention to the "IM" part of the headline. When i first read the article i thought that an "icon on his home computer" was something that only someone in his house would ever see. I wasn't thinking about it being transmitted with his chats.
"As a result, the school district sent Aaron's parents a notice of a formal disciplinary hearing and also tipped off the sheriff's department (which declined to do anything, concluding that the icon was indeed a joke). Meanwhile, a psychologist concluded that Aaron did not pose a threat."
I was about to mod your post off-topic because it just doesn't matter *why* someone chooses not to install WGA. Then i thought about modding it troll because i found it hard to believe that you actually think it does matter. Then i considered modding it informative because it does illustrate that seeking freedom of choice with MS is futile.
Slashdot Mirror
Even if this is a tricky problem to fix, MS could at least warn their customers about the problem.
After 25 years of dirty tricks from Redmond, you have the gall to call their critics paranoid?
"There's a whole web site dedicated to this somewhere..."
I think there's a whole island.
Sarbanes Oxley is a fantastic example.
Although the crimes took place during a non-republican administration, they were committed by GWB and Cheney's Texas/Oil bed buddies.
Thank you for saving me the breath.

I wouldn't mind the built-in mic as long as it had a Tesla grade knife switch so I could be sure it's off.
No, I'm pretty sure it's a picture of Agnew.

energy density of jet fuel
fuel capacity of a 767
( 5.62 million btu/ barrel ) * 23980 gallons == 3.3 terajoules

Someone really should mod this as informative.

"...but what world does this guy live in. After having a Los Angeles police officer..."
I'd say he lives in a world that's not L.A. Imagine that.

Well done Mr. Offormatroll!
WRONG! MS is 39% incompetent and 61% fraudulent.
Flamebait or troll I would have understood, but funny? /. mods never cease to amaze me.
Google, unlike Microsoft, is a company which found success by providing the best product.
so the driver would live to talk about the ride.
