Believe it or not yes. Though apparently one of Transgamings main customers have been boxed distros. But either way they have been making money with previous versions of WineX, this is just a rename.
Mentioning the gay marriage thing I find it amazing that a state like Mississippi which voted to ban gay marriage by huge majority still had a comparably close race for president. So it must be something else.
To quote an earlier slashdot posting from 2 days ago. In cast of post electoral civil war the red states shall no longer provide food to the blue states. Blue states will surrender in a matter of weeks.
These are also 2 states that had significant early voting. The exit polls didn't cover early voting well from my understanding, so this in itself can explain differences.
but removing a single chad seems much less ambiguous than the various bubble-filling exercises, where I'm never quite sure when enough is enough.
The wonderful thing is its not like the scan sheets you use at school exactly, there are clear large bubbles beside each name. AND if you bubble too much or too little or there are some stray marks and the machine isn't 100% sure how you voted, it will split the ballot right out immidently and tell you to vote again. No error possible really.
Just a side not from that. Nickolodeans poll which has been running for 5 elections and always was right picked Kerry. While Scholastic which has been running a kids vote since 1940, has only been wrong twice (1948, and 1960) picked Bush. So ones going down. Lets see!
PS - Vote tomorrow(if you're a US citizen registered to vote). Even if your not, cast a load of provisional ballots to clog the system! (Seriously don't do this, just an odd thought I had)
The US honestly has always been "go it alone". I think many Americans think the rest of the world is crazy only because other countries really expect America to not go it alone and for us to go along with treaties like the ICC and Koyoto. If this is a good policy or not is definatly debatable, I'm just trying to explain that we like to do our own thing and don't want others telling us how to do it. This is why we fought the revolutionary war after all, and head in sand and all, its going to take a lot for it that to change.
Big war as in nuclear holocost war. Even then you wouldn't need a draft. We've discovered time and time again that a willing soldier is worth a thousand unwilling soldiers. In such a way many many (slightly crazy) people will sign up because they feel its their duty.
And yes, if you bring up microsoft as an example, I do consider copywrite to be a government prop.:) (It may be nessesary but as government is handing out monopolies, and it needs to be careful.)
Yea, but get this, assuming government isn't proping company up with silly laws, that stop competitors. Lets say company A sets up mega factory, and becomes a monopoly. Because of their mass production they can make things cheaper than anyone else. They can do two things at this point, 1 sell things at a lower price that competition can for eternity, or 2 sell things at a high price because they are the only game.
Well assuming governments role is to make sure the market is fair, the little guy could come and say, hey I could start a factory and sell less than him because he is way overcharging.
Something to think about, and yes I do agree that its a problem, mainly because any company of significant size becomes almost a government power in itself, we need to insist that these "governments" allow people their basic civil rights.

Except that you should make sure the cop isn't also a thief and plant evidence that you killed Nicole Simpson.
There is much evidence that Jane Fonda visited Vietnam as past of her protest movement. Calling me a fucktard isn't going to change much. Though yes it was a bit far off for me to imply that he would have gone. He had a political carrer to think about.
Whats really weird is if you plot this against a time scale. (And correct your obvious political bias) 60's
Democrat: What actions can government take, to keep the individual down and promote groupthink.
Republican: What actions can government take to further the government?
Hippies: What actions can government take that will make us all live in a happy commune that I believe the soviets are living in?
90s Democrat: What actions can government take, to keep the minorities dependant upon us?
Republican: What actions can government take to give more power to the state governments
Reform Party: Look at this chart!
Post 9/11 Democrat: What actions can government take, to return us to the 60s and help us ignore the terrorist threat.
Republican: What actions can government take that strenghten the economy, and piss off the rest of the world?
Libertarian: Hey? Wasn't this government founded on capitolism and state rights?
You do know that in cases of rape you could get an abortion, you just had to have a judges approval. Now granted there were some asshat judges in some small backwoods place, but most reasonable people who are against abortion recognize that it should be allowed in some cases, rape being one of them. Now of course there are extremities in any group and I'm sure you can come up with many people who believe that a fetus is a human on day 1 and that any abortion is murder. But thats the minority, many people simply believe it shouldn't be an option where it was consentual and there is no health problems, simply that the person doesn't want to go through the difficulty in adoption.

Thats interesting hadn't heard that one. Though good luck to them I'm sure the secret service nor our military would take such action lightly.
Yea, but without expecting people to buy a special device its all subject to the same scams. And you know how people feel about that.
:)
Now maybe my bank will give me a smartcard/usb key. Probably not though

Of course, but I am yet to be convensed that government intervention really helps.

Unless we buy russian rockets we have no disposable rockets that have a return capsule capability. So no, not if you want them to get back.
of course when I said "you could get an abortion" I was refering to pre roe v. wade. Of course now you don't need a judges approval.
You do know that in cases of rape you could get an abortion, you just had to have a judges approval. Now granted there were some asshat judges in some small backwoods place, but most reasonable people who are against abortion recognize that it should be allowed in some cases, rape being one of them.

Hu? No hippies want us to kill our babies, didn't you know that??? :)
