Its at least 10 years for me. Clinton was slightly above acceptable, Bush Sr was slightly below acceptable. Reagan, Bush Jr and Obama have been horrible.
Because for one thing, it doesn't much matter what the other guy says, each side has their own set of talking points to stick to. And for another, those talking points don't change much from year to year, so you can usually guess what each side will say long before they put finger to keyboard.
Accepting that there will always be a few nutjobs wanting to kill lots of people for various reasons, whose hearts and minds cannot be won (except early on, with excellent secular education programs)
Not to detract from your point, but don't think this would be some kind of panacea for crazies. Loughner was a product of a secular education and it didn't stop his madness from causing the deaths of innocents.
I await to see how AOL will arrange to screw their last few customers when the service is finally shut down.
They'll just sell the subscriber base to some other behemoth, probably AT&T but possibly Facebook or Google, who will migrate the accounts into their own brand over a period of several years. That's the usual path for companies that couldn't keep up with changes in the market place.
Welcome to the club. My friends and colleagues routinely think of me as "one of the smartest people they know" (or so I've been told). Articles like this remind me of my true status, which is helpful in not getting cocky.
You do realize that Yamamoto was successfully assassinated because the US Navy was able to read all of the Imperial Navy's message traffic and knew exactly where and when to find him, right? So in that sense, our code breaking had a very large (and personal) impact on him.
I so wish I had some mod points to throw your way. Anyone who thinks there's a perceptible difference between Bush and Obama is frankly blinded by partisanship.
For the love of all that's holy, that's not what fascism is. Fascism is a political philosophy in which the state is the primary component. In a fascist system, there are no true property rights and business owners can lose everything if they are proscribed by a powerful individual.
Fascism has more in common with communism (they're both totalitarian systems in which the state is the most important element) than collusion between business interests and government. That's more of a mercantilist system.
If you can't find your licenses, call your VAR. They'll have them on file somewhere; if they don't, time to pick a new VAR (and sue the old one for all the damages the BSA hit you with; it should be a certainty that you still have records of your original purchase from them).
That would be the legal way to do it. Frankly I'm surprised they haven't done it yet.
The day Congress decides to pass an Amendment is the day they collectively realize they're bound by what the Constitution says. So, yeah, it won't ever happen.

Really really really makes me wish the Founders had required the President to deliver a report on the "State of The Federal Union".

Um, Reagan left office 23 years ago.

Best. Post. Ever.
it [was] not "all a dream"
Are you sure about that? Maybe you should spin your top and see if it falls (or whatever it is you use).
Really? No true Scotsman would ever use the fallacy you just did.

Not the Anglophone bit....
I'm guessing you are a fellow American.
No I am an Australian.
Meaning you come from one of two Anglophone nations with a shorter history than ours. What was your point again?
WWI and II? Fuck that, I'm still pissed about that Stamp Act bullshit, you limey bastard!

Any question based around the notion of selling a worthless item to the general public almost invariably can be answered "Yes".
Using that logic, I haven't slept with your wife yet just because you don't know about it. But trust me, it has happened already.

You know, you see a lot of false dichotomies these days. But it's not often one gets to see a true, blue false trichotomy. So thank you for that.
big corporate US and the government (fascism)

It's not my fault, I voted for Kodos.

You're right, FOSS types never sue anyone for violating a license. Except when they do.
Violating a license from a developer, whether that license comes with a dollar tag or not, is not something responsible IT folks should encourage.
That would be the legal way to do it. Frankly I'm surprised they haven't done it yet.

You do realize the Republicans are in the majority in the House now, right?
That deaf-dumb-blind kid, sure could play a mean pinball.
Ha, bet you thought I was gonna say "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss", didn't you?
why is there no comparisons to AltaVista...
AltaVista returns slightly more relevant results than Lycos.
Bah, just use metacrawler and search them all.
Metacrawler? Dogpile is so much more efficient. And it has a cuter mascot!
