(P.s Yes, guns do cause more crime. The rest of the world learnt to read a bar chart years ago.. do they teach them in your schools yet?)
Hmmm. In Chicago, New York, Washington DC and others guns are all but illegal and they have very heavy crime problems. But, in places like Vermont and many other places that allow folks to walk around with loaded firearms crime is down. Washington DC and New York really are the biggest counter points to your statement though. Of course this is Karma suicide as a lot of anti-gun nuts reside on/.
1) The guys who bombed the WTC and the Cole were all brought to Justice. Saddam was bombed when he refused to comply with the UN, the Republicans argued that the moves were politically based.
Wow, we brought some lakeys to justice. That's like saying you locked up some longshoreman thereby solving that entire mafia problem.
2) Did you stop owning or were forbiden to own a gun during those 8 years?
It was a tough battle, and thanks to that bastard Clinton there are things we can no longer own. Doesn't seem to keep the local bangers from getting their toys though.
3) How much money did you stop making during those 8 years?
Has nothing to do with how much I made. Why should I be forced at gun point to give my money to people who don't deserve it and aren't willing to help themselves? And don't say "it wasn't taken at gun point.", don't pay your taxes and let me know what happens, eventually somebody with guns will show up!
4) Last I checked gass was over $2.00 on the average since Bush has been in office, only recall a few spikes during Gore's first 8 years. And 1000 pound car can be both fuel efficient and safe, what it can not do is compensate for whatever shortcoming you may suffer.
The technology does not exist to make an afforadable car that weighs 1000 pounds and can survive a side impact with most vehicles on the road, sorry.
Also why don't most normal American's a have a problem with Bush yet?
Because if Al Gore had been president any of the following may have happened:
1) We would have surrendered before the second plane hit the WTC.
2) Only criminals would have guns.
3) Even more money would be taken from my pocket to support inner city kids who don't understand "Gang Banging" isn't a productive life style.
4) We would be paying $5.00 for a gallon of gas, to put in a sub-standard 1000 pound car that would be destroyed when it collided with a june bug.
Ya know, there's more, but I'm getting angry just thinking about it.
Freedom of speech does not mean you can speak your mind freely.
Claire Wolfe opens one of her books with the lines:
America is at that awkward stage.
It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.
I believe it is our patriotic duty to upset the balance of this system. One must attempt to open the eyes of the sheeple and show them the errant ways of the government. Or, push the issue so far that we are truely no longer free and people awake to a new revolution.
This post does not advocate the overthrow of the U.S. Government. (yet!)
What an auspicious beginning for American-style democracy.
Yeah, it's a good thing everybody agreed on American independence. Imagine how things would have went if some people would have been sympathetic to the king.
I'm going to have to do some reading on this. My big question is, how do you deal with structural failure in the burning section? It would seem pushing fresh air into a burning section would help consume more fuel (i.e. the wood holding the second floor from falling on your head). Or does this have limited use in larger structures?
They open the front door, open a hole on the roof, and point the thing straight into the house.
Where have you seen this technique used? This will basically turn the house into a giant blow-torch. In my experience these fans are usually used to remove smoke from the house after the fire has been extinguished.
Mostly just fubars their internet connection without much impact on the server. There is only so much data you can push through a T1. All modern PCs are fully capable of saturating a T1 and then some!
Mod parent up. Parent parent is a fucking moron.
Didn't work.
According to Merriam-Webster [m-w.com]:
democracy: a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections.
Hmmm, you forgot: Republic: (1) : a government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law.
See, it's a republic because if citizens could vote at the federal level they would vote to overtax the rich and give themselves the money. Thereby bankrupting the country within months.
The key to a Constitutional Republic is that lawmakers are bound by the constitution. We have several checks and balances to make sure that happens. You, the voter, do not get to vote on federal issues.
There exists a division between federal rights and states rights and your are entrusted to vote on state issues. The catch is that the state (little s) can not trump the State (big s). In theory anything the states do that violates the constitution will eventually be bitch slapped by the SCOTUS.
So yeah, the State gives you the illusion you have some power by letting you vote on some local issues. But in reality this is like deciding if you want your car in Black or if you want your car in Black, your choice!
Continue living your life with no clue about the civics lessons you so clearly didn't attend.
Microsoft has an effective monopoly on the desktop OS market. Do they have a monopoly as defined by the dictionary, not technically. But, the alternative desktop operating systems don't add up to much of a challenge to Microsoft. Also, if you wish to do any significant amount of business with other entities you must be able to "talk microsoft". Are there exceptions? Sure, Ernie Ball being one of them, but that's an exceptional situation.
It does look like Microsofts hold is slipping. But, they can always reel things back in by making more changes to their office file structures. It's a constant game of catch up with microsoft choosing how far ahead of second place they want to be. Sometimes they look better to the public if they let second place catch up for a while. After the moment passes it's business as usual.
Wow! Most people on Slashdot are too young to remember when Microsoft didn't have a Monopoly. You must be one of them, and just don't understand the situation.
It's not the page content to be concerned about. If google is constantly hitting pages with tens of thousands of these links the DNS servers are going to start having serious cache problems. I'm sure google runs their own dns servers (at least caching servers), this technique would play havoc with that.
I don't see anyway a search engine could prevent this. It has no prior knowledge of the domain in the link until it tries to resolve it.
stunt? I'm offended you would call my serious question a stunt! I really would like to know the impact this would have on DNS caches, considering the responses have a 15 minute TTL.
Remember this come with a big smiley! And kids don't try this at home, it just might piss of google. And I don't want to see what happens when google starts bitch slappin' VeriSign.
Speaking of search engines. What would happen if a significant number of web sites put links on every page to a poison page. This poison page would generate 10,000 random links of the form "www.verisignblows948950948393903848585.com", with the number obviously being random. How long would it take for all the search engines and web crawlers to hit this and have a serious impact on verisigns servers?
Now, I'm not suggesting anybody do this, I'm just asking the question.

Ahhh, so maybe guns don't *cause* crime, maybe packing people too tightly into cities causes crime.

Oh wait, maybe you were being sarcastic about me being sarcastic. Damn, that's the biggest problem with sarcasm, sometimes you just can't tell.

Well it's "Constitutional" because in theory the law makers are not supposed to pass laws that violate the constitution.
Of course that's only a theory!
That's why it's a Constitutional Republic and not a Democracy. Don't they teach anything in schools anymore?
Take a video camera out and videotape the traffic camera. That will make them wonder what you're up to!
Actually we felt sorry for them and decided not to drop THE_BIG_ONE on them!

Because the message might just be that the network is in fact non operational?
Just a guess!
