Yes, but the Republicans know that the people are tired of high oil prices and the Republicans want Congress to stop prohibiting oil exploration in most of our seas.
And the Democrats know that oil exploration won't have any immediate effect on oil price, and the correct long term solution is to decrease dependance on oil and oil usage, not increase it. I'm surprised people bother to entertain the Republicans after all the ridiculous stunts they pull, especially here, where I thought people would actually inform themselves of the matters.
Well, yes, AMD and Nvidia will never write acceleration support for Ogg Theora, so it would be up to the open source community to do that, if at all possible? I had an idea (dangerous, I know, especially at night) that maybe GPGPU could be utilized for this? Maybe I'm just very, very silly...
John McCain will bankrupt USA as well, and in return you won't get anything resembling universal healthcare you would get with Obama's spending, instead you get more war and the rich getting richer.
As for the judges, from what I've observed people seem to have different ideas on what the Constitution intends, and the letter of it is subject to interpretation. This is why you have judges, is it not? I don't think the McCain judges are going to be better in holding true to the letter or intention of the Constitution, but they will be better in injecting the bible (or their interpretation of the bible) in the law. That's not a positive thing in my mind.
And as for the international law getting injected into USA? Go ahead, we don't mind, we're doing pretty well over here, and we don't mind if you start getting better as well.
I would just like to remind you that Obama at his worst is still better than McCain at his best. McCain has bad policies, that is, when he can remember what his policies are for the given day. And if somebody doesn't like his policies McCain is willing to lie about ever having that policy.
Obama, by no means, is no perfect candidate and he is indeed on his worst performance here, completely out of touch with his base. This is still just one of many issues facing USA, and in all the rest, McCain is still not any better. Still, it is quite disappointing but what can you do other change the stupid two-party system (which will never happen as long as those two parties are in power...).
They refuse to give you the option? Do you know the technical hurdles that would have to be crossed in order to allow users to dynamically move menus between windows and the top of the screen? Have you ever considered that if enough users requested such a feature that they would obviously comply? Oh, the technical hurdles are so big that an open source desktop environment called KDE has had the option to have KDE applications display menus either in windows or at the top for years now. Maybe Apple should ask them how they did it.
He said there are approximately 50 cable cuts a year, 65 percent of which are due to fishing trawlers dragging heavy nets and 18 percent of which are due to shipsâ(TM) anchors. âoeThey donâ(TM)t even track terrorism,â he said. âoeCable cuts are a routine part of the business.â
It's a reference to the Clinton/Obama debate where Clinton wanted Obama to just not denounce Farrakhan's "support" but reject it (transcript of the debate).
True enough, but there is such a thing as a bit less fancy, cheaper lunch. There is also such a thing as a way overpriced lunch. Guess what you're having? Anyway
The Physicians for National Health Program Single-payer FAQ explains some of the savings you could have by moving to a single-payer model.
Linus Torvalds is Swedish. Born/lived in Finland. He's a Swedish-speaking Finn. He was born in Finland to Finnish parents. That makes him Finnish. That his parents were Swedish-speaking and he is Swedish-speaking doesn't make him Swedish nationality-wise.
It's now around 11%, showing that no matter how bad the Republicans can screw things up, the Democrats can make it worse. From what I've seen of U.S. politics, your problem is that the Democrats don't get anything done. The other problem is that the Republicans, unfortunately, do get things done.:S
It's hard to have hard evidence about long-term savings since we can't exactly run these systems side-by-side in equal conditions at will. And the numbers, well, they'll be fucked up by your politicians in all likelyhood anyway ("If we raise cigarette tax to pay for children's healthcare it might not work because people might stop buying cigarettes." Way to not see the long term or the big picture).
Anyhow, Physicians for a National Health Program Single Payer FAQ says "For the vast majority of people a 2% income tax is less than what they now pay for insurance premiums and in out-of-pocket payments" and "For large employers, a payroll tax in the 7% range would mean they would pay less than they currently do (about 8.5%)." Wow, less taxes and costs, how can you not sell that to your voters! And the current hard facts: check out the numbers on per capita expenditure on healthcare in the U.S. and Canada (and others), and tell me that something isn't royally fucked up in the U.S.
Maybe it's not a right where you live. Move elsewhere if you want that right or influence your government through the standard means to get it where you live now. For example the Finnish constitution states in chapter 2, section 19 ("The right to social security"): "The public authorities shall guarantee for everyone, as provided in more detail by an Act, adequate social, health and medical services and promote the health of the population."
The sad part in what I have seen of countries like U.S. with their money-first policies is not that they just stare at the money, it's that they fail to realize that there's more money to be made by keeping your citizens healthy. Ill and dying people can't work so they need wellfare money from the state (or, in the best/worst case, they just die), people who are healthy and motivated go to work, and pay the state their income taxes. I know that in the U.S. there's also that silly "the federal government won't do federal healthcare because we don't do federal healthcare" thing, but that's, in my opinion, bullshit. Taking care of your sick and poor makes sense from both humanitarian and monetary viewpoint.
Well, time to wake up then and look at OpenNIC's TLDs, which do include.geek. Unfortunately, OpenNIC doesn't seem to be working that well at the moment, so maybe you can go back to sleep after all.
"The Namesys homepage in its current stage is reminds me of a cross between The Secret Guide to Computers and the GNU Manifesto " Yea, i see "This page cannot be found" on alot of websites
Well, duh, it's supposed to be a cross between "The Secret Guide to Computers" and the GNU Manifesto, how secret would it be if you could actually find it?

Much of the operation is outsourced, but the whole point is to recruit people into the U.S. Army. "Going to the next level" has a special meaning there.
Let me guess, at the end of a map, a talking shrub comes and says "I'm sorry Mario, but Osama bin Laden is in another castle. Go invade another country"?
D/M/Y and Y-M-D make sense, the values ascend or descend in scale, but M/D/Y is just all wrong.
Actually, please don't use D/M/Y. I at least when seeing "/" used as a delimiter in dates assume the date is in the American M/D/Y order. The correct delimiter is "." as in D.M.Y (e.g. today is 16.5.2004).
Anything intellectual means immediate ellimination. Dumb as a brick eye-candy stays and rates highly. Hypocrisy, backstabbing, lack of general knowledge and an overinflated ego equate to bonus points.
I think my work place must be a reality show.
You were joking (well, modded funny at least), but my university Swedish teacher said that the reality shows (well, he was talking about the Swedish Expedition Robinson) are interesting because they depict how society in general works: the very best and very worst are the first ones to go (voted out).
That's the same thing corrected (the original was mangled by slashcode) and base64-encoded, which doesn't care about extra spaces inserted by slashcode. Decode with uudecode(1) or something else.
So if you had 128 megs of video RAM, your X would look pretty huge.
You know, I did try that, but the girl still wasn't impressed with the size of my X. Am I doing something wrong? Maybe I should try those pills those kind people advertise by email.
