Running linux *does* protect you from most malware, that which it doesn't tends to be protected from by not being an idiot. Also, anyone who says automagically in the future will be shot.
If 'whoever controls the military controls the country', we are not one step away from a dictatorship, the president directly controls the military. Good thing it's not that clear cut, but I agree with state militias.
I'd have to agree somewhat. I liked the concept of ascension, but it started to loose traction from about the moment they started telling the asurans "you can't ascend, you're machines". Before that, it had been a scientific (or psuedoscientific) process, not spiritual crap.
I disagree about the borg, the few episodes they were in TNG, they were uberhard to defeat, taking dozens of ships, nearly losing all of them all the time. Voyager neutered them. I believe Q was in DS9 btw.
I think the entire last episode was terrible. If they can open a gate to the hive ship, why didn't they just toss an overloading naquadah generator in? Atlantis had more than a few, and those things are nearly as powerful as nukes.
I personally think the series was great, but IMO, it ended with the last episode in season 8. 9/10 should've been part of a seperate series. There were a few gems, but in general, it all crashed after season 8. Would've been the perfect ending, even though it seemed a bit superfluous, it was the closing of a circle. Atlantis was decent, but not quite SG-1, and good riddance to universe, it was like the star trek enterprise of stargate. Wouldn't mind a few more stargate movies though, especially for some closure on the wraith.
Morrowind was small relative to daggerfall/arena, it was the first real elder scrolls game that was designed, every square mile, by hand. As opposed to random generation. It was also the most epic game.... ever.
In context I'd say they meant they're not reusing the oblivion engine, which wouldn't have been quite as enraging as it should've been in these days of console-induced graphical stagnation.
'taking those three words and standing them on their own'... what are you smoking? I quoted the clause afterwards. The other person's post contains the rest of my arguments, and then a little.
First of all, I believe that the FCC is an independent agency that falls under the executive branch. Second of all, article 1 gives two clauses as a basis for extending legislative power: The Necessary and Proper clause:
The Congress shall have Power - To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
and the Commerce Clause:
[The Congress shall have Power] To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes.
.
The two basically provide a (legally if not logically) solid defense against unconstitutional takedowns in the supreme court, plus the fact that the supreme court hasn't been all too active in judicial review of late. Also, as a side note, the constitution is not an exclusive document. There are implied as well as enumerated powers, in addition to ones granted by law and tradition.

edit: changed the word "article" to TFA cause that's the way it's done here ;)
conformist....
something about that makes me think of the graves at the end of serenity, with the deceased's face in video on top of the grave.
Seriously mods? It was an effin joke, I'm a free software fanatic.

thank you. Wrestling on a scifi channel? Seriously? You're showing wrestling on the geek/nerd channel? I wonder what the owners are smoking...

hand in your geek card, sir.
Stallman has heard the news, and had an orgasm.
Pfft, be realistic. The first stargate in our solar system was put here ~50 Million years ago by the ancients.

this country being the united states I assume? If so, then most likely.
I doubt anyone's actually surprised; this has been coming for quite some time.
Low earth orbit is at about 5,360$/Kg on a Falcon 9 standard, 3,273$/Kg on a heavy.
I do, KDE 3.5 Trinity to be precise. It's an excellent DE; though you don't discount that, you seem to be flaming KDE 4.

It's about as bad if not worse in the states. Living withing 100m of the border won't help you.
