One time, during a field excercise, I set up my hooch on an ant pile. Six fucking bottles of calamine lotion and three bags of ant killer later, two things were definately known:
1. Ant's can't be killed. 2. Soldiers who receive more than 2500 ant bites need prompt medical attention and weeks of recovery.
You're an idiot. And only idiots would confuse Republican and Democrat parties with Conservative and Liberal philosophies. You clearly don't understand any of those concepts, so why don't you shut up until you have a clue.
As per what "party" most blacks (they're not african americans, they're full blooded americans you dope) belong to... check how many vote. That ought to tell you how far out of touch with the black community Democrats have become.
You're a dumbass who clearly hasn't a clue about history. They were Democrats. (Hint: Conservatism and Liberalism are philosophies.) And the Democrats, along with Whigs, were the dominate political force in that era. The Republican party was founded in part by abolitionists.
The Democrats have a wonderful and storied history of lynchingn blacks, catholics, and jews. It was the Republicans actually doing the work of the Civil Rights movement up until the 1960's when liberal (lower case "l") Democrats from the West Coast joined the bandwagon.
Or did you forget that your Senator Robert C Byrd was once a Grand Dragon in the Klu Klux Klan, and still has a bad habit of making racist remarks today?
Politicians of all stripes are asses. Democrats certainly aren't an exception.
He's absolutely right. His company spends billions to invest in infrastructure, and he has a right to profit on that investment. And with that kind of 19th century thinking, SBC will be deeper in the hole at the end of this fiscal year than they were last fiscal year. Expect innovative communications companies to make his fiber lines obsolete. He can put that in his pipe and smoke it.
Point in fact, Congress never paid Francis Hopkinson for his services in designing the Great Seal of the United States of America (of which the Presidential Seal is a derivative work), and many of the symbols associated with the Federal Government today.
1. Until Congress pays the agreed fees, the rights to the Seal are solely that of the Hopkinson family; 2. The White House has no legal claim to it's use.
Hey, they're right. If you hand a laptop preloaded with WindowsXP or Ubuntu, your average rural third world denizen will be intrigued by the strangely glowing, slightly warm, and noisey little box. But it would take longer than the 8 hour battery life for them to figure anything out whatsoever.
Instead of trying to neuter microsoft representatives for stating the blatently obvious, has it occurred to anyone that computers for the third world ought to focus on human-centric computing? I.e, make the computer able to understand humans, not humans able to understand computers? That's not a third world issue or a first world issue. It's just how it ought to be.

If you can't win any other way personal attacks allways work right?
You're a jackass. That's a personal attack. His logic sucks. That's a statement of fact. Do you see the difference between the two, or should I draw a pretty picture?

Stalin was a tyrant, but socialism was not the cause. Pol Pot was a tyrant, but socialism was not the cause. Mao was a tyrant, but socialism was not the cause.
But isn't it funny how all the really worst dictators used marxist-socialist principles as a wedge? Come to think of it, I can't think of a single dictator that wasn't a socialist since the mid 19th century.
How you go from economics to theology is a mystery. Clearly logic isn't one of your strong suits.
Careful. Those French forgot all about how their country got wiped out in a couple of days by some Germans with tanks, and had to setup shop in a cafe in Morocco. It's hard to run a government when the owner - Akhim - keeps asking you to buy drinks or leave.
Last time I ran the clock, the US and Britain were the oldest continuous governments on Earth. We've born the burden of having to prop everyone else the fuck back up.
So, it's a list about Sci-Fi, and they put "Wild Wild Wild West" and "Xena: Warrior Princess". Sorry guys, those aren't Sci-fi. Ones a western. The other's fantasy. And "Lost"... that's a drama. Likewise, "Hitchiker" was horror, as was "Tales from the Crypt." "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," was... well... crap, but it too is horror/creature feature. I'll give you pass on "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." for its science elements, but "Nowhere Man" belongs nowhere on this list.
Meanwhile, no "Farscape", no "Lexx". "ST:DS9" and "ST:Enterprise" get punked. Where's "Space: Above and Beyond"? "Seaquest DSV"?
This is what happens when journalists, armed with not a clue but an uncanny ability to search the IMDB, try to write an article.
"This cost does not include money spent on marketing or development, but it does explain how Intel can continue its profits even in this era of quickly dropping prices in computer hardware."
Does not include marketing or development. Hell, lets forget marketing alltogether. Development. Like how Intel's Chandler fab facility (Ocotillo campus) cost $3 billion. Or how Intel sinks billions into R&D. Why, when you average those numbers out, it's easy to see why a brand new PIV 3.6 retails for $430, but a one year old PIV 2.6 is $115. Go to 2 years, and you have your $40 processor.
Who gives a shit how much a processor costs to manufacture. You're not paying the cost of silicon and copper. You're paying the cost of all the expertise, blood, sweat, and motherfuckinbeers that went into making it possible.
