Data, about audio quality, you're serious aren't you.
Yes, I think he was.
Maybe I could measure the love for my wife in heart palpitations per minute
Not in heart palpitations per minute, but definately in phenylethyamine reaction, specifically dopamine and adrenaline.
or the precise equation for the lines in a Monet.
Do you mean like the number f, or a 2-4-8 Fibonacci series, which Monet himself used to devide his canvas?
What a typical/. er. Data for music quality, please.
I believe that the discussion was about data for signal quality. Marshall Macluan aside, the medium is not the message, and getting the signal confused with the music makes you look a bit ignorant.
Maybe you should get away from your computer for a few days, there's a whole world out there with real people and things you can touch.
Yes, and I hear that out there in the world there are these places called 'libraries', with these things called 'books' that have something in some of them called 'logic' and some others have some things called 'facts', and maybe if you are very very lucky, you will run into some of them one day.
Oh...I just noticed, the poster is a proud Republican...that explains it. Anyone who feels the need to brag about their conservatism generally has a soft spot for Joe McCarthy.
Anyone who needs to point out someone elses political leanings in order to denigrate them generally has a soft spot for Chairman Mao.
True, but the salient point is that SCO would first have to PROVE that IBM had violated the terms of the agreement, putting SCO right back to having to sue to prove it. Assuming that IBM does have a 'perpetual' license and SCO pulls it on Friday night without proving IBM broke the terms of the license, IBM can then sue SCO for any number of things, chiefly breach of contract, and demand some combination of reinstatement of the license, refund, damages, other caveats...
Yes, but if you take Marxist or Radical Feminist 'critical theory' (read 'apophenia') seriously, you are either a member of one of these two tribes of 'identity politics' professional victims, or you are a member of the racial-ethnic-religious-gender-income group that they want to feel victimized by, and feel guilty for it, probably because you can't think critically, but possibly because you wan to get into the pants of a member of one of the aforementioned groups.
Hunting isn't just taking a shot, you know. The killing tools may have improved dramatically since the spear chucking days, but the tracking, obfuscating and stalking skills are just as difficult to master, maybe more so, since these days hunters do not usually get together in large groups to run the game off of cliffs or into big pits to be killed at their leisure....

The one thing you are missing is that the Department Of Defense is a constitutionally legitimate enterprise for the government. According to a strict reading of the constitution, NASA shouldn't be funded with public money for anything that doesn't have direct military application.
Oops. There I go, not checking all my quotes again....should have used this one:
Der größte Unsinn, den man in den besetzen Ostgebieten machen könnte, sei der, den unterworfenen Völkern Waffen zu geben. Die Geschichte lehre, daß alle Herrenvölker untergegangen seien, nachdem sie den von ihnen unterworfenen Volkern Waffen bewilligt hatten.
[The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so.]

You seem to be willfully avoiding the portion of the Second Amendment that is important here:...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
It has been born out repeatedly that this right is not reserved to the state for the maintainance of a sponsored militia, such as the National Guard, but to the people.
As an aside, I do find it interesting that I have been assumed by yourself, and other posters, to be a pseudo-revolutionary, when I have posted nothing that would make one think that. You say things like Your problem is that your state is unlikely to field that militia against the federal government, but I can't figure out where I have advocated such a course of action, by either the National Guard, or individuals.

That said, what in the hell do you need an assault rifle for?
How do you define 'assualt rifle'? Do you mean something like the AR-15, a single-shot carbine that shoots 5.56mm (.223) ammo and whose outer body is patterned on the M-16? Well, target shooting with them is a lot of fun...
Most the anti-gun people are after the insane automatic high-power weapons.
Unless you happen to live in Washington, DC, New York, California, Australia, England, and most of the rest of Europe...
Nor do I see a problem with having to register if you own a rifle or handgun.

G$$G is mostly about hype at this point. It is riding the popularity of only 2 succesful products - Gmail and Maps.
Yeah, that whole search thingy they did really blows...
Hell no, it was Dutti Doogz! Pay up sucker.
Nothing man, just giving away some invites...
Here are some more Gmail Invites...
That's Stanislaw Lem...
As far as I know, no political movment or party has ever talked about re-distributing the height, weight, or age in a population....
...he was definitely a treat to national security...
You can say that again...

Is East Hall still full of stinking hippies, or has it gotten warm enough yet this year for them all to be camping out on the ROTC trails?
Is 'Chief' Josh Watauga still peddling his schizophrenic stories on King St?
Most importantly, is the Bagelry still there? I sure could go for an overstuffed bagelicious right about now...
That really doesn't require more than one successful flight, now does it?

Never in the history of the world, has gun registration NOT led to confiscation and democide.
I have never seen a valid argument for this gun nut crap.
Here's one for you:
