It's not struggling. Seriously, it's not. The 200-year old Yoda-thing they have running the place hoards money like a derranged badger. They've got like 5 billion dollars just sitting there. The Gamecube might struggle, but as long as they hold on to the 90 goddamn percent Gamebody market share, I don't think they give a shit.
No fucking kidding. I am pretty fucking shocked he hasn't at least been bitch-slapped for that by now. I don't mind smoking, but that shit, even if the target was being way more of a jerk than "cough cough", will get you an "accidental" beer in the crotch from me. Considering how many people die of cigarette smoking, there's a good chance whoever you're blowing at knows one of them. I'm not going to run up to Christopher Reeve with a horse, I'm not going to wave an assault rifle at Jim Brady, and I'm not going to blow cigarette smoke at somebody because they made me feel bad. That's called being a fucking asshole.
No, he was not talking about defending the country from outsiders. "From time to time, the tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of tyrants and patriots." is the whole thing, I believe. He's talking about revolutions. More of a cool quote justifying a specific instance of revolution rather than a recommendation for regularly scheduled violence, but definitely not anything to do with national defense. I mean, Thomas Jefferson said it. The guy's idea of national defense was "shoot the Canadians if they show up on your lawn".

Your argument isn't that great. America did have a degree of representation, just not the kind that we wanted. Virtual representation? Remember? Representation isn't binary, if at some point you feel that you have a plan that would better represent you than the current system, "taxation without representation" would work just as well for you as it did then. Which is to say, not at all, other than to get your side fired up.

Looks like a pretty standard ideaologically-confused anarchist/commie hissyfit thing. Upside-down US flag, red star, and a black flag. Overlapping each other, no less. The bomb links are just par. He doesn't even put those up until late '02. Probably just responding to how tough it is to pull off that "crazy Jew from Cryptonomicon" vibe without some of that these days. This kid's even a little behind the curve as far as the capital @ clique goes. I know trendy anarchist/vegitarian/communists that had most of that shit in their AIM profiles before Bush had even settled in.
I have him at slightly less dangerous than a camgirl, probably a big fan of Propaghandi. B+ for style though. Excellent use of Clash-tshirt-white on the splash page.
There are mad crazy chemicals in it, as there should be. You know distilled water? That's what water tastes like. You don't want that. You want iron and limestone and salt and whatnot.
Zeno says that since to go from A to B you need to pass through an infinate number of points in a finite time, it's impossible to do stuff. So there.
Since that's crap, those crazy math nerds down the hall invented infinate series, which means we get to just write a few...s and then go get wasted. This guy's just proposing that we go the physical route, and say that we don't care what the hell the time is between A and B, so long as we get to the movie on time.
Zeno is not the important part here. The important part here is that the d{ button on your graphing calculator doesn't really exist! Bum bum buuuum!
Education? We do that in grad school now. Maybe in your day you could live with just a high school's worth of drinking and fucking, but it's the new millenium.By the time we graduate, there might even be jobs available for us. Today's seniors might be looking forward to another few years of cracked-out pandhandling, but we just can't bet on that to continue.Better safe than sorry, after all. The last time we forgot to pamper our college population, we got the 80s. Do you want another 1980s? Do you? The pants! For the love of God, THE PANTS!
(Actually, 80s collegiates [rich ones, anyway] were nicely pampered. I just wanted an excuse to write "THE PANTS!" and link to than picture. Those are some fucked up 80s pants, man. Shit.)
He really is mostly right, from what polititians I've met. However, I question whether he really has never met a genuinely dangerous congressman. I'd agree that everybody that went through the effort of being elected has some degree of "questing for the public good" in them, but that doesn't mean they're not willing to get what personal gains they can out of issues that they feel aren't really that important. Those various issues can cover a lot of ground, between the lot of them. If somebody thinks about the people of Verfuckistan the same way you think about the pens in the supply cabinet, the poor bastards over there are pretty well fucked.
You can reeducate for shit, but the key is that once you reeducate somebody, you have to keep them in a position where they can make use of that education. Otherwise you just told another retired lawyer way more than he ever cared to know about DRM. That's where the Sacks with the $ come in.
He wants a fucking library. That's absolutely part of fair use. Fair use is not just making sure people can use things they buy, it's an attempt to balance the need to pay creative people against the need for the legal system to not be stupid. I certaintly fucking hope that a service by which people get to use things for a temporary period for less than it costs to buy them outright isn't fucking illeagal now.
He's really not proposing anything new, here, not anything worthy of a buzzwordy name like "Snapster". He's just describing a reasonably efficient way to organize a private library that stocks only digital content. If your public library were willing to let you install a record player in their music section and run a ridiculously long cable back to your speakers at home, it would not be illegal, it would just be stupid and annoying. This is just a non-stupid way to do that.
You've lost focus on the fact that information is the same no matter where it is. If I install tiny scanners on every page of a book and let you read it without opening it through a screen on the cover, it doesn't change the fact that it's a goddamn book, and I'm allowed to let someone borrow it without hiring a lawyer first.
Some Napster users justified what they did by saying they were "borrowing". Napster was found to be illegal. Sure. But that doesn't mean the entire concept of "borrowing" is now illegal too.
And he almost made Tommy Smothers cry when he told him we should've stayed in Vietnam!
O'Reilly ain't left-wing. He might not be as right as some people, but he's not left. Everything you list there he's centrist on. He guesses that they're all OK, but he's not a proponent of any of them. I specifically remember him saying something about his abortion position along the lines of "it would cause problems to just outlaw abortion, so let's try and gradually get rid of it instead."
I just remebered this funny thing somebody sent we awhile ago. It's nice to see foreign governments making fun of "fair and balanced".

Now there's a product.
Ok, so why the hell does everybody know this thing's catch phrase? What did I miss?
Somehow I doubt it's a two-handed job.

Yes, because they asked, never stopped them before, a steaming pile of shit, aaaand on vacation in Texas. Glad to be of service.

It's a homepage for an MMORPG. There is no content. There never will be any content. You gotta work with what you got. Besides, it's so pretty!
Is a saleman taking a client out to eat / a ballgame a form of corruption (since it is, by definition, buying someone's time)?
Yes.

No, no, the funny part is that he bought them.
