But then Microsoft will probably bundle anti-spam into Outlook soon and piss on everyone's patents (valid or otherwise) anyway.
Correct. The idea is that an individual has the right to protect himself and his family (even at the cost of people being able to lob arguments based on emotion at him).
Believe it or not there are ways to defend yourself without using a gun. Statistically you're much more likely to be shot if you do own a gun, and in many cases it'll be your own gun you get shot with. The "I need my gun to defend myself" argument is entirely based on the false assumption that owning the gun makes you safer.
If someone breaks into your house in the middle of the night, you've just woken up and it's dark, do you think you'd be awake enough to get a clean shot? Even if you did would killing the intruder be better than getting burgled?
This is only very tenuously related but I was pleased to discover recently that Baskin Robbins and Dunkin Donuts are both owned by the same British company. It's nice to know we still own something.
It can only be a matter of time before The Boston Donut Party though...
So guns which have no real purpose except to cause injury and death are a fundamental right but national ID cards which can be very useful should be banned because they're open to abuse?
You can have the right not to carry ID card just as soon as I have the right not to be shot by your gun.
Troll trolly troll-troll to you to. Why can't speak in own language? Would you complain about people posting messages in French or Spanish too just because they aren't American?
Actually, you'd better mark me down as offtopic since i've no idea who Shawn Gordon is and I'm not entirely sure what Gnome or KDE are... Do the Gnome's wear RedHats? Is Shawn Gordon a Gnome? If so does Shawn Gordon wear a RedHat?
it'll probably be twentieth post once i've sent it.... i was just curious how
long the updates take for my own amusment.. ignore me, mod me down, whatever
No, it's virupodes!.... Well, maybe not but the plural of octopus is octopodes.

Offtopic? You betcha!
If I was American I'd say spelled, but since I'm English I tend to stick to the English spelling which is 'spelt'. Colour, aluminium, arse, liquorice, pyjamas, manoeuvre... the list goes on.
Wow, three swear words and you spelt them all right. Shame the same can't be said for the rest of your post.
I agree with your sentiments though, America's involvement in Iraq is all about oil. It's a cheek that the U.S. administration still talk about their 'defence' budget when it's being spent on preparing for all out attack.
"Sometimes it is more then just the product, but how the product is made or where the money used to purchase the product goes."
Last time I looked the record companies weren't funding arms deal to Iraq or manufacturing CDs in third world sweatshops so I can't see any political reason not to buy CDs from corporate whores.
You might not like the prices they charge, but I haven't noticed the small time artists and record companies charging any less for their CDs so that pretty much kills that argument too.
So buy the music you like and save your protests for something that matters.
The interface on Quicktime is truly awful. Media player isn't great, especially since they started with the skinning, but at least you can easily watch videos full screen. Trying to watch trailers from apple.com in a pokey little window that won't scale is rubbish. Why can't I have a full-screen mode damnit.
Sorry to get all pedantic but what kind of a word is 'easedrop'? Surely you mean 'eavesdrop'?
This is the part where someone points out that it's actually a clever play on words as regards how 'easy' is it to 'eavesdrop' and I've missed the point completely:)
