(as the Democrats did in 92... and the Republicans might in 04, if enough people arrive at the opinion that the Democrats can do better.)
I believe that the Democrats did quite well in 1992, electing a president and many dems to congress. However in 1994 the Republicans gave them a spanking.
No, when burning the AAC to a cd, the computer converts it to a wav, and then burns it. The process of burning it converts it to Analog. That is why to then rip it to mp3 we have to perform "Digital Audio Extraction" which you'll note takes longer than reading a ~50MB file otherwise would.
It involves an added D->A and then A->D conversion which will undoubtably reduce quality
First off, he has been, in fact, a citizen of the United States for over 10 years.
Second, I disagree that it is an entirely different crime. Allegedly, he held the intent to kill or injure someone in Afghanistan (presumably US soldiers, although I didn't see it specified). While this is clearly a horrible and heinous crime, it is murder (and treason).
More importantly, if the government is allowed to hold citizens with only vague public statements and no evidence in treason cases, where do we draw the line? Without saying anything to the public, there is nothing to stop them from holding those they have no evidence against. We can only hope those at every level have good intentions. As we have learned time and time again, maybe implicitly trusting everyone isn't a great idea.
You are absolutely correct. People who commit treason should be immediately arrested and CHARGED. charged immediately, not in a few months, or when a judge forces them to.
Actually, many (possibly most) National Labs are run by universities. For instance, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is run by the University of California, as is Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Many others are run by other unversities. If you want to argue against National Laboratories, i'd take more of a look at places like Sandia which are run by corporations (Lockheed Martin in this case).
I assure you that IBM makes loads of political contributions too. Everyone does it. I guess Microsoft does it better. Maybe they don't make the greatest software, but apparently they hire good lobbyists.

Having worked above Ximian in the same building for the summer i know the space well. The building is quite nice. I believe Ximian has the 3rd floor in the West Wing although I have not been there.
The building used to be a Sears warehouse and then was not used and in ill repair for many years. Now it is reopened as nice offices. It has twin large seven story Atriums in the center of both wings which allow some nice natural light into offices that would otherwise be without. More pictures of the building are here
At my school, a group of us had started up a "starcraft club" where we played SC for a few hours after school on fridays. We had to convince someone to sit there with us. Then they apparently decided they didn't like the idea and claimed we had trashed the place and put potato chips in the cd-rom drives?!?! Now we can't start it up again at high school (that was in middle school) due to bad recommendations from the middle school tech people.
While I of course agree that the SSSCA is a bad thing, I've entirely given up on Fox News being a credible news source. Everything i've read there has been incredibly biased and non-informative. I wouldn't trust anything from them thank you very much no matter how reasonable it seems.
I mentioned it in the post above. I believe you can program in whatever you want as long as you have a compiler or whatever you need for it. My high school competes in it too (although we do better), but i personally do not.
There is already something similar to what you speak of. Its called the American Computer Science League or ACSL. I don't participate in it but i think my school got like 3rd or 4th nationaly last year. It works by sending in the answers to porblems for the 'regionals'. and then the highest scoring teams get invited to the national competition.
But in the case of libraries, they can't and don't support themselves. Governments and taxpayer money do. Imagine what would happen to/. if there were no employed people working there? I suppose you could make taxpayer money go to/. which may be more productive than many things that we do with it, but that obviously isn't happening.
DARE can never hope to work. It has many obvious flaws. It is called 'DARE' which is just stupid, it appears to be aimed at 2nd graders despite the fact that it is taken in 5th. Another is that at least when i took it, the pictures in the workbooks could be erased. So me and my friends erased parts of the picture of that dumb lion and made him smoking cigarettes. Damn that was a really boring class. I think they should change it to have ex- drug addicts teach it, I think that might make it more interesting.
Movie writers, directors, and actors are all overpaid as it is. I don't see why that would be bad, nor do I see why I would want to support them making an even more disgusting figure than they do now.
The Computer Museum in Boston has recently been aquired by the Science Museum (in boston) as the Computer Museum was not doing well. They hadn't had a new exhibit in ages and all the old ones were either out of date or needing repair in general. They are in a state of disorder last I heard since they are moving to the Museum of Science area, but they might still be taking donations. The science museum has a webpage at http://www.mos.org i don't know if that includes the Computer Museum though.
This already exists on many sites. One that i can think of at the moment is eMusic. They let you listen to a sample in a few different formats for maybe the first 30 seconds or 1 minute. Then you can add that song to your shopping cart.
Does anyone know what states this is availiable in? The Times article said California, something, and eight other states. Anyone have and idea which ones?

The recall and the subsequent election are separate issues and should be treated as such.
exactly. thats why he should be allowed to run in the second such issue.

Whoa, the Gay Straight Alliance joining forces with the Department of Justice? Now I'm worried.
We like to call this software on the computer speak of "Windows"

I may or may not have done the same thing on RCN. Either way word on the street is it works.

Well, you kind of did when you applied to Virginia Tech.
