They have supported terrorist organizations in Iraq, Syria, Jordan and Israel.
They have threatened to wipe our ally Israel off the map.
Their goal is almost the same as the taliban: Uniting the world under islam, imposing harsh sharia law on all people, concentrating all wealth and power in the hands of a few corrupt clerics/imams, and the conversion or extermination of all non believers. The only difference is that the taliban also wants to wipe out all scientific knowledge as well, while Iran is willing to use that knowledge toward its goals.
burglars also want to rob you while you are on vacation because it is easier to sell your stuff before it is reported stolen, and because it gives any potential witnesses time to forget the details of potentially suspicious activity.
WTF? Reagan? Fiscal credibility? The only even remotely fiscally responsible republican in the last 20 years was Bush Sr, and he had to be sly about it by leveraging a democratic majority in the house.
In a city, every raw material must be imported. Food, Water, fuel and in some cases it is getting to the point where the local air isn't breathable. Every minor bit of efficiency city living provides is only because of, and at the expense of the vast rural area supporting the city.
Back in the day, you do something stupid and brag to your friends about it in person. Now kids are bragging about doing stupid things on facebook, myspace and twitter. Not only do hundreds or thousands more people know about it, but a record of it exists for all time.
Another problem is facebook and other people tagging you in their pictures. You don't even need to have a facebook account and you can be unknowingly leaking information to facebook that could make you unemployable in the future.
Another reason Linux is safer is that these problems get due attention when reported, but for the windows team puts effort to fix most problems, it has to be a source of embarrassment for the company.
Meh. I would rather have a touchbook convertible tablet/netbook from Always Innovating. To bad they could have called the company Always Innovating - but you will never notice because all our shipments are at least 6 months late.
They are not being necessarily being overzealous. In the US, trademarks MUST be defended to be valid. If they failed to defend against this possible trademark issue, then the next guy that does a geek squad look alike can point to this case to strengthen his case that the trademark has become generic.
Bootlegging most often refers to "smuggling" of alcohol. Definitely so in this context. Most bootleggers are not distilling mash in the woods to make 151+ proof liquor. Every single day hundreds of thousands of people who live in dry or nearly dry (nothing over 6%, no sales on sundays/after 9pm, etc) counties drive to a neighboring county to buy their alcohol and take it back home. Those people are bootleggers just as much as the moonshiners are.
And how many of those boot leggers kill dozens of people a day in a war over territory in Pearl River County MS? Nearly every part of a dry county is something like a 30 minute to 1 hour drive from a wet county (excepting the middle of Utah). Most "bootleggers" do so for their own consumption.
Wrong again. The PII x4 955 is in the ~$150 price range, the i5 750 is in the $200 price range. The 750 is a bit faster, but it is 25% more expensive for less than 25% more performance.
The latest generation of AMD chips also has adaptive clock speeds to improve performance on monolithic tasks, soon that will be available on the x4 chips as well as the x6.
I am not going to argue that AMD chips are absolutely better, but in terms of price/performance they have very little competition from Intel. The i5 750 and i7 920 being the only real competition on price/performance.
Hell, my mugshot is on the internet because I had a valid out of state ID instead of a local one and unconstitutionally failed a "papers please" check that resulted in my arrest. Fortunately the judge was somewhat less of a fascist pig and threw out all charges even before I was bussed over to the courthouse. My mugshot is still up there. Its just another part of living without liberty in a police state.

We had our chance with the last Iranian election.
But we decided to not inflame the situation by staying out of it,
we tried to avoid a repeat of the last time we overthrew the Iranian government.
And the rebellion was crushed.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend does't really apply here.
Assange may be on bad terms with the US, but he is on bad terms with the US for exactly the opposite reasons as Iran and North Korea.
That would be like the Black Panthers protecting James Earl Ray.
Did the CIA publicly state that it was seeking alternative ways of dealing with Reiser? No. Assange? Yes.
I am not saying he is "obviously innocent", but this is extremely suspicious timing for serious accusations.
The only way he can get out of this is with an ironclad alibi.
If they used a honeypot he had contact with to make the accusation, then he has no defense.
My first and only Ubuntu issue also was ATI related.
X crashes on startup with the default catalyst drivers on the 5770.
It's solvable, but annoying.
Meh, that is only a little less than 2.3 years of game time. I have friends with over 5 years of in game time on FFXI.
I take it that you have never seen those Evony online ads?
Windows is not a real time OS, how can you justify using it for real time applications?
Even without the issue of mal-ware mucking stuff up, it isn't suitable for use in an air traffic control system, but then again neither is linux.
Enough bleach or peroxide might do the trick.
Monster cables ARE other cables, they just have an extra layer and some epoxy.
News Corp (fox news) is not the propaganda arm of the republican party.
The republican party is the legislative arm of News Corp (fox news).
They just bought $1million worth of republican governors.
And as the Palm Pre - iTunes syncing issue recently showed, devices can easily spoof the hardware id of another object.

I am going to have to interject here.

XP machines make up the bulk of corporate and government office PC's/laptops. There are probably almost as many of those as there are home PC's.
