Well the problem is that it isn't "stuff from the past". High level RNC members have just been caught perpetrating large scale voter fraud in both the northeast and nevada.
The DNC is trying to head the RNC off at the pass as it were.
I like leaders who are grossly incompetent and lie to their country checkbox? Seriously, even if you agree with nominative republican values, many serious conservative groups are jumping ship this election. Think Andrew Sullivan, the Economist magazine, and the Cato institute (OK they're libertarian, but it's notable that they aren't supporting bush for reelection).
Look, these people come up with the models that everyone uses. If it weren't for them there would be no crap shoot. They know damn well that a single president is not responsible for the entire economy. The extremely anti-bush (though not extreme) economist brad delong at berkely goes on at length over the media's focusing on a president as the sole actor in an economy's performance.
All this being being said, it is entirely possible for a president to issue economic policies that are nothing but terrible; and that is what these professors are angry over.
You know maybe saddam had WMD then evaporated them and any evidence of their existance just as bush invaded. Doesn't seem too difficult to understand to me.............
Haven't you heard the news? We didn't invade over WMD anymore. Now we invaded because Iraq wasn't following the food-for-oil sanction rules.
I know that. I'm sticking with the same position I have since this thread started. That other guy, he's the one waffling.
Yeah, except none of that is in the video or happened. And fox only has higher quality footage of him holding a pen, no paper.

I'd like to add that Kerry is an experienced debater and had a distinguished record of it. To suggest that he would need such a cheat sheet, and that he would be stupid enough to use one is laughable in the first place.
God this is so old and debunked trash. The guy who broke it allready has noted that it was a pen. According to the rabidly right wing fox news.
Jesus christ, this kind of wild speculation doesn't belong on slashdot. Oh wait, nevermind.....

I looked over your statement for an explanation of why it isn't art and the only thing I found was the word "useless".
I'm not going to pull any punches because you don't seem to be, but you have no idea what the hell you are talking about. If your argument is that art should be "useful" then you have a lot of explaining to do about the entire corpus of western art.
So many people die every day in tragic circumstances that bear no comparison to this like sudan. I felt more pain over this than I did over sudan, and I don't even know what project this guy was involved with.
Somehow, a man whose life was somewhat more similar to mine (ok, judging from his site we have vastly different personalities) than a sudanese victim has more impact on me. If anyone with a psychology background would help explain why this is I'd like to know why.
Hmm, that may be true in the short term, but think long term. One could also say that the operating costs prevented conventional telephones from become uber-spamming machines. However, the telephone is evolving and that is no longer true. Bandwidth prices will simply continue to drop. The day will come where a VoIP call will be as insignificant as an email in cost.
I remember my days as an assistant to the Sysadmin at my high school. The sysadmin was a real jerk and often times clueless.
In addition to being one of the few people still using netscape 4 (this was after mozilla 1.0) this guy was certain that his 56k modem could exceed the 56k limit because he had ultra clean phone lines installed. I declined to ask him to explain that; opting instead to walk off in a daze muttering.
The previous plan may have been stupid, but this one actually makes some sense. Maybe it won't succeed, but it's a damn good effort and it at least gives the ordinary guy like me a chance to participate.
I know nothing of this at all. But it would seem to the casual observer that sci-fi should be a sub-genre of fantasy. Quite simply, where's the science in a fantasy tale about elves and faeries etc.?
I'm of the belief that if it isn't this way allready it damn well should be for sanity's sake.
Intel has a massive venture capital arm investing in future technologies. Generally these are investments in industries which will help Intel by driving up demand. For instance, I remember the head of this VC arm being interviewed once, talking about investment in some new WiFi enabled device company creating some new product. Intel invested there under the condition that they use Intel chips.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is the same kind of thing they're looking forward to doing. Intel may not end up owning core pieces of this next-gen infrastructure in the conventional sense of ownership. That's what's in it for them. It's standard practice for many VC firms from what I gather, to try and vertically integrate their various investments to some degree.
Personally, I think that it's an odd thing to try and reinvent the internet without forming a consortium at least.
What in the hell does this have to do with the kind of stress in the story. I appreciate these 'cool things you've done' but what's this have to do with this story?
Recent events in certain states advocating a mix of intelligent design along with ummm the other curriculum based on science have blurred the line between teaching teaching a student to be religious and teaching a student the facts. No historian would want to remove talk of religion, I think that you presume this to be a problem.
My mom is in the garment industry and works in downtown LA. Very high rate of car theft. Her company's garage is small and has a guard. So there's 0 theft there. I can only see this hurting her insurance though.
I mean, gregorian chants are used in dark action flicks and sometimes games as soundtrack all the time. The only reason no one cares is because the idiotic fucks who do care don't know much about gregorian chants.
It IS taboo. However, I for one am surprised I havn't recieved 5 AC trolls calling me a closeted homo yet.
I figure that this post marks the point where I can no longer run for president. If I ever do, someone will dig it up and insinuate that I'm gay.
The terrible thing about this all is that it means political debate in america is more akin to trolling than intelligent debate. We knew that allready however.
Dialup providers have fewer IPs / modems than they have subscribers (or at least they used to, with the drop in customers taht may be true). The problem is that with an ISP with more customers than IPs FEWER computers are counted and vice versa.
I think the real problem is that at my household there are 3 computers on one IP with nat operated by 4 different people. Yes, it's a useless statistic.
I think a better statistic for a website is to just count each browser once per session. You want to see how much of these USE of your website comes from each browser. I'd wager that'd be a more useful stat; although it doesnt' tell you much about which OS how many people run due to usage variances.
Let's not forget some of the dirty tricks of 1968. Quote wikipedia:
Mayor Richard J. Daley took a particularly hard line against the protesters, refusing permits for rallies and marches, and calling for whatever use of force necessary to subdue the crowds.
This is somewhat similar to today's free speech zones; although somewhat less severe.

This straight guy really liked it!
I'm not sure if i'd ever try that as a straight man. But after reading that article I'm at least curious.

IIRC Terra also paid 60 million for the now extremely defunct sonique media player. Yes, 60 million for a skinnable MP3 player.
