Let's see if I can blast through your tin foil hat:
First it is not "a private corporation operated and owned by private banks" Frequently Asked Questions about the Fed "The Federal Reserve System is not "owned" by anyone and is not a private, profit-making institution. Instead, it is an independent entity within the government, having both public purposes and private aspects."
Second, there is no confusion over public / private control over the internet. It is publicly controlled. Congress can revoke ICANN's authority any time it wants.
Further, the Fed is not unconstitutional. I suppose an argument could be mabout the non-delegation doctrine, but that's deader than the 2nd ammendment in Ginsburg's utopia. Further the court has recognized delegation guided by an "intelligible principle", which using monetary policy to maintain macroeconomic stability certainly is.
Finaly it is not evil. It has done an amazing job of executing monetary policy. The two most recent Chairs Greenspan and Volker are amazing men.
The alternative is to have Congress control monetary policy. Bad idea. Can you imagine the confidence that would be inspired if Congressional hacks had control of the money supply? Yikes.
How would Carmack pull off his "I'm going to lock myself in a hotel room for a month to crank out an engine" work with his new pride and joy. 16 hour days and quality parenthood just don't mix.
Good thing management is going to have all of the voting power with their B shares and the suckers who buy in the auction won't have much say as to how the company is run. Otherwise management might actually be accountable to the shareholders. Real democratic Google.
During Vietnam we were almost losing as many soldiers each month as we've lost during the entire year and a half in Iraq. The US doesn't surrender easily.
the US military will lose THOUSANDS of troops in Iraq within the next twelve months
You do realise that combat deaths have been going down, not up.
Haven't you been watching the news this weekend? We've almost wiped out Sadr's army with about 5 US casualties.
...in a country of twenty five million people who hate the US.
Maybe you missed the point. You haven't been to Iraq and interviewed all 25 million people. So any such claims are hearsay and anecdotal.

I'd venture that neither you nor I have been to Iraq recently. So any discussion about what the Iraqis think is hearsay. Nor has anyone polled all of the Iraqis, so anything we hear is also anecdotal.
Instead of being a ADD/ADHD TV addict with zero attention span or patience, let's wait a few years and see what sort of shape Iraq is in. If you know anything about history you know that Germany and Japan were both total messes for years after WWII. Rebuilding countries and cultures takes time. At this point forming conclusions about the impact of the war is the epitome of short-sightedness.
We were routinely told that 5000 children 5 years old (forget about the adults) a month died because of the sanctions. Using that figure there are 50,000 kids alive that wouldn't have been without the war.
I guess they are are of little concern to the Bush haters.
I'm sure you can cite precedent were someone distributed the fix to a defective product without the creator's permisson and was convicted. IANALBMSI and I think it would be an interesting case.
You seem to be a bit ignorant about what censorship is. As a historical matter the Censors were a Roman invention, circa 400 BC (pre-celtic invasion). Originaly they supervised the census.
From the OED:
Censorship -
An official in some countries whose duty it is to inspect all books, journals, dramatic pieces, etc., before publication, to secure that they shall contain nothing immoral, heretical, or offensive to the government.
No material has been inspected ex ante, nor has publication been constrained in any way. What Phil Kline (I used to work for the guy and I know he is a jerk) did was to decide that Kansas wasn't going to endorse these paticular artists. It isn't censorship.
If you don't give me $50,000 to publish my book you haven't censored me.
"Frankly, I don't really think that it's a good idea for parents to restrict what their kids read/watch"
What right does Ars have to claim that they "own" some paticular piece of information? That's not a riht in the Constitution, nor in the UN Declaraition of Human Rights.

Governmental powers are situations where individual rights are withdrawn or restricted.
The 10th Ammendment deals with the balance of power between states and DC. It has nothing to do with this case.
You can't derive an ought from an is.
I bought Windows for $100:
So for me:

For MS:

Net result of Me + MS $0, ie the status quo.

If you save the money rather than spending it, you reduce the ability of the economy to grow.
Actually just the opposite. Search google for Solow growth model.
I feel really bad you can't figure out a way of not having to pick up the slack, sucker.

Quite funny.
Don't feel so threatened that you have to call names. It's OK. Nobody's going to keep you from hating Bush.
Without a doubt.

It's about killing your enemies. We've been very successful.
Maybe tomorrow he'll cut a check for Freerepublic.com.
It seems like most results are to Google keyword spa sites.
Nature surely would have gotten rid of it by now if it was useless.
Dude that was almost 4 years ago. Isn't that excuse starting to wear a little thin down at the unemployment office?
Death to America.

Frankly I'm betting you don't have kids.

"Memory prices are too high to allow this, and prices for memory are going UP not down"
He must have been talking aout DRAM prices. You can't buy on die cache.
"A P4 Extreme will NEVER be $100, especially since it has a 2 meg cache."
The price of a P4 EE has nothing to do with DRAM prices.
