Blacks vote over 90% Democrat, and also largely vote black when given the opportunity. Sharpton and Jackson are the only two "name" people at that level. Basically, Sharpton has the "honor" of being considered better than Jackson. He's only a frontrunner due to an even greater lack of true leadership than exists throughout the rest of the political system. That's not being taken seriously -- it's winning by default.
Personally, I'll just wind up using Coranto when the time comes. I've used so it (and its predecessor NewsPro) for so many different sites over the years, that it just seems the natural course of things. It's flat-text, but since it's just my diary, who cares?
I was a little young then, so could you enlighten me on how Ross Perot's 20% in 1992 influenced the two parties (other than taking the majority of that 20% from the Pubs)?
Not being a smartass -- it's a serious question.
I'd imagine you can, but if you really are willing to subject your drill bit to that kind of pressure, you must be nuts...
For an early review of the English dub...

Anime News Network claims to have seen a 35mm. Read about it here.
The short version: Absolutely nothing was cut from the movie. Not the smokes, not the booze, nothin'. However, a few lines have been added to help fill in certain blanks. He also claims that the dubbing was better than on Mononoke.
That's a great thought, except that the access of materials was against a computer in Russia. By your logic, we should have no recourse against an cyber-terrorist attack launched from foreign soil, if the laws that the attack originate from do not forbid this type of action.
So, when Al Queda version 2.0 tries to take a shot at disabling half of San Francisco, you're pretty much screwed, because, hey, they don't have to accept your laws.
An interesting extension. Therefore, if you have an IP clause, you should not purchase medical insurance, because the company is responsible for your health 24/7?
First of all - since it was Disney who said in their ad "Own it [Tarzan] now on Video or DVD" - so if they can then change their mind that i don't actually own it, I can not give a crap.
Holy crap, dude. That is so genius (so sarcasm here). They advertise that we can own it, but only give us a license. Therefore, deceptive advertising. Let's all buy it then file a class-action lawsuit.
Yeah! If we don't want to watch commercials, the onus is on us to press the fast-forward button. Are we so lazy that we need a third-party product to fast-forward through them for us? Lazy bastards.
No, but if you take a copy of Hitchhiker's Guide, edit it because you don't like the references to Christ, and then try to re-sell it as Hitchhiker's Guide, you've committed fraud, against the consumer who thought they were buying a book in its entirety, and against the estate of Douglas Adams, and against the publisher.
I believe it's totally appropriate to stage a demonstration of the potential effects of such a legislation. This isn't necessarily a random DoS. It's to be construed as an action that would be potentially legal if this legislation is passed. That's the perspective I choose to use anyway, and it's at the top of my laundry list of issues if I'm EFF or another such group.
And understand that people like Rosa Parks and MLK are legendary because of their fights for civil liberties. Even if the perceived rights that are being fought for in this particular skermish aren't as important in your mind, they are still civil liberties -- rights that we should have by virtue of the society that we live in but are being denied us by people with self-serving, short-sighted agendas. We have a right not to have the RIAA bring down our systems unilaterally, acting with legislated police powers, every bit as much as Black Americans had the right not to be threatened by men in hoods.
Are the stakes smaller? No. Because if the RIAA can successfully use its powers, do you really think they will be the only ones? Get with it dude. This is the forefront of the fight. That it centers on entertainment is simply the process by which the cartel gets chooses to overlook this.
"The way to make a concinvincing case against legalizing a certain activity is NOT to commit that crime yourself."
This prohibition amendment that they ratified is really horrible! I know; if we want to get it repealed, we'll demonstrate the futility of it by not drinking. That'll get their attention!
While it's profitable, it's wouldn't surprise me if the $780m was largely obtained due to loans. In that case, there's interest on those loans. So, how well does that $6m+ stack up against the interest payments? Agreed, someone needs to have their shorts put in a knot for making the purchase in the first place, but the way the system works, it may well not be a money-maker at all.
As important as the activists might be, every Hoffman needs his Lefcourt. The media makes up the third end of the tripod of change, whether it be big media, or just plain word of mouth.
Except that the third tripod of big media is intertwined with technology (MSNBC, AOL-TW, etc, etc.) Therefore, with only two legs left on the tripod, we can only assume that the whole structure will come crumbling down.
Maybe they should. One of my pet projects over the last three years has been the computer-illiterate neighors. I went with them then to pick out a name-brand computer that would suit their basic needs. I went inside it with them (and their kids) to teach them what was what and how to break a computer down and put it together. Then they added CD-RW, I stood back and oversaw while they installed it. When they're ready to upgrade, I expect them to be able to build it themselves with basic supervision. Yeah, I suppose it might be more profitable in the short-term to charge them $100-$200 to do it myself, but I think it's to the greater good to have as many tech-savvy citizens as possible.
So, your homework: find someone in your neighborhood and do the same with them. Lather, rinse, repeat.
"You agree that to protect the SERVICE we may restrict your usuage to reasonable levels. Additionally users agree not to run any "servers" or "services" that use upstream bandwidth".
Ah, but you see, if you kill Alaska, you also put an end to Bachelorettes in Alaska, and the suffering caused by that show far outweighs anything you might cause when you push that button. It's just better that way -- trust me.

I did. They ramp that down, too.
I don't want to explain statutory rape to a 7 year-old, dude.

How 'bout printer refill kits. Will this work a bit better for ya?
...is that now Faye Valentine will never get to play that tape she mailed to herself.

They split the difference, and allow deep linking only to files ending in html?

So THAT'S why I finally stopped getting those B urst Alerts. I've been wondering about that...

It's not strictly a cultural thing. Didn't like half of the episodes not even air on Japanese television because of how extreme some of it was?
People here tend to take for granted that Windows @ $200 Linux @ $0, however, what if you're confronted with Windows @ $0. Then what do you do?
Upstream bandwidth? Oh you mean like e-mail?
Ah, but you see, if you kill Alaska, you also put an end to Bachelorettes in Alaska, and the suffering caused by that show far outweighs anything you might cause when you push that button. It's just better that way -- trust me.
