Heh, I don't know. Seems like he could get numbers if any actual votes were counted this election. I think corporations don't like Ron Paul, so we can't hear him.
I mean, by withdrawing is he somehow trying to say that he'd prefer McCain to Obama? What are the benefits of withdrawal? I don't understand this action at all!
Our congress is the most inept, pathetic, and treasonous part of our government. Nearly as bad as Dick Cheney himself. Attacking us there is really like hitting below the belt. WTF?
You obviously don't pay much attention to the news.
Those guys are criminals of the highest order, and they got caught red handed. I don't know what you don't understand.
Here's help for illiterate and uninformed:
"In making the case for war, the administration repeatedly presented intelligence as fact when it was unsubstantiated, contradicted or even nonexistent," he said.
(direct from the Rockefeller Report)
There's no question that the administration, and particularly Vice President Cheney, spoke with too much certainty at times and failed to anticipate or prepare the American people for the enormous undertaking in Iraq.

Now that was from the Washington Post, which in my opinion is a pretty conservative journal. Other publications have quoted more damning evidence than that!
While I agree heartily in feeling, I have to question the wisdom of the death penalty. How then, would any person of disrepute have time to correct themselves?
I'd say just have a webcam on them for a couple of days, and if they don't kill anybody, see if they can stick to that. KTHNX!
You see, though some cogs in the wheels of mis-justice that has gripped this once great nation since the assassination of JFK may be more guilty than others, I'd rather strip them of their dignity than their lack of humanity, which they've already proven.
Please review the NIST (or whatever) employee who resigned over some of the 9/11 building collapse stuff. I mean, this doesn't seem far off to me:
And further, just scroll down and look at Ari Fleischer's face, and tell me there isn't something seriously rotten and criminal at the highest halls of power in this day, due to wanton economic and corporate corruption. Seriously, look at Reaganomics and Alan Greenspan, and tell me to my face. I can sit here and debate the very real and scientific truths behind what this corruption has done to the American family since it's institutions, rooting back as far as the origins of IRS, and other criminal passages as early as 1916. Tell me there's no criminals in this congress.
Do me a bigger favor. Take the fucking cameras off the lights, and put 'em on the congress. And then put up a 30 second news bite of every news item congress passes that I can easily digest.
Get rid of the legalese and bullshit, the American people, as a TRUE DEMOCRATIC NATION should demand more oversight of their government directly, whether it's through the web cam, or through the web cam skype real time to their senator (within reason), I think a random polling of 100 Americans in their constituency should be asked a number of given questions for a half hour once a day, in addition to having all meetings, voting sessions, planning meetings, and concert/dinner/benefits on fucking camera. You want to just TALK about democracy, or you wanna actually go out and do it now?"
Listen, just cause I didn't cite sources doesn't mean that I'm not right. Troll is such a harsh word. "INCONCEIVABLE!!!", he said. "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
That is far from extreme. The policies of the Bush administration has caused human devastation on massive scale, even if you ignore his contribution to the continued global warming that may eventually even cause a extinction level event wiping out our entire species and many of the other species we rely on to survive.
No mass murderer in history has had the destructive effectiveness as a state sponsored terrorist like Bush. His only colleagues would be Stalin, Hitler, and maybe Genghis Khan, although records from that time are pretty sketchy and we don't really know enough to make a valid comparison. Comparing him to say a Jeffrey Dahmer would be a FAVOR to Bush.
Point one: False. He (and Cheney) KNEW it was false. Clearly a lie.
Point two: False. He (and Cheney) KNEW it was false. Clearly a lie.
Point three: False. He (and Cheney) KNEW it was false. Clearly a lie.
Point four: False. He (and Cheney) KNEW it was false. Clearly a lie.
There is plenty of evidence suggesting they knew it was all false, and were manipulating the evidence in an attempt to find a reason to attack Iraq. It was not only all a base fabrication, it was an intentional, planned out, thoroughly well executed fabrication. I do agree with you on the rest though, there are plenty of reasons to impeach outside of his outright misleading of the American people. Did we get a FOIA on the Kennedy assassination yet? It's pretty clear that this whole "democracy" has been a ludicrous facade since that fateful day.
... is awesome. He's the only candidate I would have bothered driving to the polls for, despite the fact that when I got there diebold would have just erased my vote.
I wasn't particularly enamored with the distro pre-installed on the eee. Other than a nice webcam and skype implementation (which is not FOSS, so really, what is the point?), I found it a big cludgy, unnecessarily kid like, a little unreasonably slow, and basically not nearly as clean or simple as standard Ubuntu, OS X, or Windows XP. Now, if they put out a Linux eee clone that was even cheaper, and ran faster and basically looked and felt like a clean XP install.... Then, yeah, I think people would enjoy their Linux time and want to use the OS again in the future. In it's current implementation, it was much better than sugar, but I'd only rate it somewhere in between windows 98 and mac os 9 in it's feel and speed and look. Not a very high mark on my scale.
Every computer *I'VE* built for myself has been better than the last. My apologies if that is not the same result for everyone. I'm totally for cheap over options though, and if I could get an under $100 n64 emulator, with those new hi res textures and then play mario kart.... that would be worth $100 alone. But not $600, like I was offering for the supercomputer cluster of eee style notebooks that could also be 6 death match stations and 6 race cars. Oh yeah, and all work as perfect p2p skype video phones, too.
I was thinking POV ray Quake III, but sure, like good causes or whatever! Maybe install the Folding@home screensaver by default on all machines while I'm not playing POV ray Urban Terror. Thanks in advance, and if you can make 'em for $100 each, I'll take six advance orders.
PS Oh, can you install regular Urban Terror on each machine, too, so I have a 6 chair death match out of the box? Double Thanks in Advance. Might as well put a racing game on there too and bundle each with a dual analog stick. Thanks. Ok, I'll go $120 now.
Price and availability? Can we have a laptop that has a draw on wacom style touch screen where the keyboard is? I still want a keyboard though, but I guess I could use a docking station with a monitor. Can I get it like eee size and eee cheap and put 6 of 'em together in a custom beowulf cluster that grows and shrinks as the various laptops enter and exit the house over wifi N, or wimax, or whatever?
Although I like the humor in your post, I believe I mentioned product placement directly in the parent post. Further: I don't feel that the ginormous budget of most of the hollywood tripe IS necessary. I've seen more excellent independent films that were produced for less than a million than I have giant summer blockbusters by spielberg or lucas. Most of the giant summer blockbusters SUCK.
So, though I outlined one possible solution, I also feel that losing crap like Spiderman 3 with it's budget of 9 trillion dollars is really no loss. Maybe if studios HAD to spend less per film due to piracy or even legal free distribution, they would take more risks and we would get some better scripts rather than the "fail-safe" formula crap we seem to get so much of. I'd just like to add for clarity: Big budget sequels suck, so let's just make the movies free and we can avoid them altogether.
This is kind of like the console vs. PC gaming war. The various corporate interests that are over charging and over spending for game development and then bilking the consumer want PC gaming to go away, or at least play a distant second fiddle to console gaming. In truth though, the PC is a far superior platform for gaming, and the development costs and competition would make for MUCH cheaper games if everyone wasn't so sold on the console wars.
It's the exact same thing here: You can get about half of what you want on joost or bit torrent or both, and then you don't need to pay for cable TV. The reality of course is that cable TV almost universally sucks, so your viewing habits may actually improve by cutting the cable. You cut the ads (well most of them, joost has a really obnoxious ad structure), you only get the content you want on demand (well, maybe not ALL of it, but some of it), and you can watch TV anywhere there is a computer and the internet, which, for a lot of people with laptops is EVERYWHERE.
These corporate monopolies that own every stitch in every fiber of your home, car, and body (and debt, and actual cash, and your senator, congressman, president, vice president, and all your radio stations, tv stations......) are going to keep shoving horse shit down your throat and charging you four times what it's worth until you JUST SAY NO.
Which you won't, unless you're in the minority on slashdot who know how to download Lost and The Office.
The reality is: Even with adhoc wireless G 90% of the populace could have free internet just by buying a router and making the whole infrastructure p2p. Then you could have all the shows, games, music, and books that you want, for free, and those corporations would be forced to go away, and maybe quit buying our politicians.
Those corporations will fight to the death not to let that happen. Just like they are right now in the cell phone market, even though we could all have free wifi skype video phones NOW that far surpassed the iPhone etc in functionality, if certain corporations weren't so set on entrenching you into their salaries. These corporations are vast methodical parasites destroying all life on the planet, including the gadgets us slashdotters love.
Wake the fuck up people! Stop giving them money NOW!!!
Well at least THAT is a reasonable explanation of what the hell is taking them so long.... How long have they allotted themselves for the next one? 25 years of dev time?
Seriously, I'd put any cowardice ridden, shit-bag politician who votes yes on something like this directly in a blender. If they don't fit, I'd cut them up first.
I'm not kidding. Wire tapping is step one into 1984, and it's an inevitable step backward in human existence. Please, please somebody have the courage to do the right thing and off the mother fuckers involved in supporting this.
I'm completely sure that helps. Also: Is hers running out of the box with whatever crap your computer sales company put on the machine? Windows is atrocious unless you do a clean install yourself.
Now can I have one in my phone, one in a EEE type notebook, one in a regular full size notebook, one in a desktop, one in my car, and have them all communicate via wifi N and turn into a cluster if they are close by?
Well, Linux is still a little slower, buggier, and less clean, for me. Though I do dual boot and love a lot of what Ubuntu x64 offers.
For burning cds I highly recommend infrarecord portable, which is free, open source, and as good or better than any other burning program I've used, just this side of Nero.
It's one of many great apps at the portable apps site.

Heh, I don't know. Seems like he could get numbers if any actual votes were counted this election. I think corporations don't like Ron Paul, so we can't hear him.

is a nice soft one without hard edges or any real weight, but then again I work at Microsoft....
The problem though, is that I support Kucinich, and then maybe Ron Paul. Definitely not McCain....
