So, one court disagrees with another, and you choose to assume that the one you like is upholding the law and the one you dislike is an activist judge?
Funny how you can make that claim, but your argument comes down to "but I want it to work this way, so therefore she's an idiot for not conforming the law to my wishes!"
Well, there's also the question of which group will the candidates cater to in four years...Will it be gays and minorities, religious fundamentalists, gun nuts, etc...
It really does make a difference. Our next president is going to say:
"the {biggest threat to our country || answer to our problems} is {gay marriage || prayer || assault rifles || tax cuts} {in schools || in the military || for the rich}. "
And, if he's smarter than Dubya, then he will know that he has to follow through with that statement*. So, yeah, it does make a difference who you vote for.
(But don't get me wrong. Dubya appealed to hatemongers and then gave them nothing. I'd rather have unambitious evil than plain old evil).
I could see it going either way. On the one hand, a company may have more incentive to research a patentable product, if they know they can get the R&D investment back from a short-term monopoly.
But on the other hand, this makes the decision to place R&D on a project a much more risky one. If the company knew they would be able to sell their product, once they got it perfected, then they might be ok with the notion that they will never have a monopoly, and thye might see the R&D as just a necessary part of acquiring the knowledge needed to get a new product to market.
My cynicism knows no bounds, which gives me to think what the Democratic response to this might have been if a Bush Administration official had proposed it. I'm betting something to the tune of, "Oh those damned Republicans they want to use band-aid technological fixes so they can go on driving their SUVs over baby polar bears for another ten years!"
Maybe that's because Bush would have stopped there, had he ever gotten there. Obama has done more (positive) for the environment in 4 months than GWB did in eight years, and this, combined with stricter mileage standards, is a good start.
I don't know. I didn't spend a great lot of time trying to troubleshoot the problem. It currently selects like every other windows application, as opposed to using vim mode, and I couldn't find anything online about how to make it act differently.
He is using Windows, and by default, the Linux and Windows versions work differently. For example, the Visual mode commands do not work the same as they do in Linux.
If I could get Vim for Windows to work just exactly like the Linux version, without having to load up cygwin, then I would agree with you 90%. (The remaining 10% is that code completion is nice).
In other news, Walmart is has changed its store hours:
Monday-Friday: 9am-3pm.
When asked for comment, the CEO stated "Fuck you...and 88 cents". Some think he has gone mad, but his therapist has described it as a new business model.
Yeah, I don't understand. I thought that Hollywood was supposed to be full of people who want to write movies.
What happened? Are the writers all writing in crayon? Do they get paid by the exclamation point? Are we so stupid that those are the only movies we watch? Did the writing jobs all get outsourced to Craptopia (where the one dollar bill says "bling bling" and costs 2 dollars to print)?
Someone call Glenn Beck. This question requires answers that only a journalist of his caliber can produce.
Could the concept of overpopulation be too closely tied to illegal immigration?
That's where you lost me. Illegal immigration may make us look bad on paper, but the environment doesn't care if a Hispanic is driving a car in Texas or Mexico.
And, if you're using that reasoning, then why stop at illegal immigration? Granted, we probably couldn't revoke green cards and work visas from people already here, but, if you think that illegal immigrants are harming America by increasing its' numbers, then why would someone who filled out the correct paperwork be any more eco-friendly?
Personally, I can agree with your assessment that the world needs a lower population. All the food in the world won't help as much as a few crates full of condoms, well distributed.
As for why effective birth control plans are never mentioned, you can blame the religious right for that.
They're going to resurrect him in the sequel. After all, he's the most popular guy in the franchise.
Yeah..The next one takes place in Utah. They have this funny scene at first where some dubious followers are doing the whole "weekend at Bernies" thing, and it's totally not working out for them, but then, surprise! He's back. After that, it's all dick and fart jokes. I wouldn't recommend it.
It may be appropriate to suggest an alternate way of reaching the poster's goal, but GP was referring to a post that basically said "stop playing video games and bang your wife already".
You see how the first answer is a valid solution to the problem, while my two year old son tells me that the second answer just leads to more problems.
But, you are asking the typical Windows user to throw out all applications, except for "one critical app"...
You could learn a lot from a cult-member. You don't just say "Here's a book full of batshit crazy...Would you like to shave your head now?" You have to ease them into it.
If you want to "convert" a windows user, you have to let him ease into it.
Agreed. He was asked before about siphoning votes and his attitude was often (and I'm paraphrasing) that Gore is the same as Bush. He was intentionally siphoning votes away from the dems as his way of saying "steer left or lost elections".

That of course, assumes that failure of the US economic is not their end goal

How about we close that gap in CS now.
Im so lonely :(
So you're just like us guys.
Can you install it on any test systems? I.E., can you at least verify that new code is IE7 compliant, or are you stuck making even more IE6 code?
If your site is correctly formed HTML, then it will degrade gracefully and be perfectly accessible in lynx.
Do you know of any examples?

Of course that's just speculation...
I hear they have drugs for that now.
I can't afford them. They're all patented.
And Alderon truthers form to claim that Alderon was secretly destroyed from with...by space Jews. <ducks>
So Hitler did not allow the Jews to edit their own wikipedia entries? I'm not Jewish, but I thought they were pissed about the whole genocide thing.

Isn't that how it works with Nostradamus?

If the latest industry magazines are correct, the BIOS is going to be stored in the cloud.

Well, I think the reasoning is that if they're fat AND violent, then it's easy to outrun them.
