Sadly, the Whitehouse is not a business, it is the building that your employee lives in. If you have lost sight of that fact with your two-dollar civics understanding; then little can be said about you other than that.
Your analogy is incorrect.
The demand did not disappear, only the means of production was moved. The "buggys", as you put it, are still out there, but now you call an individual in another country instead of another part of your country.
This is the amazing "choose your own flame" summation!
-Punchline Choice One
Otherwise, you can continue to piss on the other kids, your somewhat suspect highground is still in good shape.
-Punchline Choice Two
Perhaps when we can call some other country and have their assholes piss all over our peers you can join in the pity party too; won't that be nice? Until then, save those pennies for a rainy day Champ!
Is that in the statute? That the viewer receive stimuation, or only that such stimulation is possible. Is that how it will be read?
Does BDSM stimulate people, you included. Yep.
I know that somewhere there was an image that involved rubber and flesh and sweat and strained arms and legs that looked like violence to someone that looked like Sunday morning to you.
Maybe Fridays, it's your sordid fantasy, not mine.
Anyway, since there are some clear examples and not so clear examples I leave you with this: Viewers of "Snakes on a Plane" were treated to simulated sex and BARE breasts and a man being bitten by a snake on his penis all in the same scene. Violent Porn, are we all criminals? Up until the snake came into the scene, it was pretty titilting.
I know that the parent of this will be modded down, but wow... I think you'd have to start with the premise that The Bush Whitehouse had a plan then move forward.
Me, I believe this is Ad-Hoc Tyranny, no boxed lunches or anything. Pot-Luck Plutocracy...
If you made the player "eat" the transferred file the next time it shut down and hold the file in some hidden memory location that made it impossible to transfer off of the unit to yet another kid, you'd have a viable model there.
That's an excellent idea otherwise. Music is both social and solitary. If you could share the music in a secure way that allowed IP holders to limit it or feel assured that a shared music file would "die" rather than haning around on the target player, I feel that you might even get the RIAA to sign off on it.
Then of course, you'd have some honest complaints about "who are you to decide what I can do with my music." However, I'm sure there would be a market for this type of technology/solution.
Yup, THIS, THIS is the outrageous budget waste. The persuit of knowledge. THIS IS THE MONUMENTAL WASTE OF MONEY TO NO END.
There is no other thing that is taking money away from worthy projects, science is the waste. Science is pointless. I guess it's a good thing that money isn't being wasted elsewhere, to the tune of 8 million a day or anything... I can't imagine where else money is being tossed down the drain.
Finally someone has the guts to point out what a waste science is. Who needs it?
Yes, because there have never been any documented cases of the US government (any one)overstepping it's bounds and goose-stepping over the rights or freedoms of the citizenry. Never happens, nuh uh. Never ever.
If I even have to, y'know, illustrate that, you are so going to fail History class next fall.
Flock, IMHO is superior to Firefox, and seems to handle my browing habits in a very cohesive and functional manner. That being said, damn this thing has a wicked memory leak!
"In recent years, Democratic politicians such as Clinton, Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut and Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich have joined longtime Republican critics such as Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas and Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania in taking the software industry to task. "
Let's not point fingers at the Centerists and otherwise and say "There you are"
Lieberman and Clinton are hardly leftists....
Hey, that's pretty brilliant, the way you criticized my post without offering anything even slightly constructive information. You must be some sort of pundit. Is this *really* Sean Hannity or are you Nancy Grace?
Maybe you can follow me around and take back my cash for me when I give it to the Salvation Army, then throw it in the street, remiding me that spare change is not as good as stocks and bonds?
Perhaps you might slap the fries from my daughters mouth if I take her to McDonalds, because fries aren't really good food?
Maybe, it's just maybe you are simply an ass who decided that since I offered something you didn't like as an answer you'd jump on me.
I cede the high ground to you, oh mighty one. What software can you suggest?
Terrorist 1: Oh My God, My Name is on a list.
Terrorist 2: Well, Why not make a fake name and fly under that name?
Terrorist 1: Oh, well, I never thought of that.
Terrorist 2: It's a Good thing that the CIA and FBI aren't hiring hundreds of Arabic interpreters to listen in on this so they could figure out what we are saying.
Terrorist 1: Did you see that rerun of Friends last night, Chandler was way over the top. The infidel.
Terrorist 2: I aggree, he is an infidel.
Not to draw too fine a point, but MAC really has been the market leader in MASS CONSUMER products that have visual appeal.
While there are other products that are small like the mac mini, cooler than it in terms of bells and whistles, etc, the Mac Mini has the likely splash effect of prompting more MASS CONSUMER cusotmers to look seriously at the small form factors. Maybe this will drive down the prices for such cool tools, like it has for Hard drive based Music devices (Like My iRiver HP-120)
At worst there will be a number of I-POD adopters who will adopt the Mini-Mac too, since they will now have the native OS that the device was intended to work with at an easier price point. Which hopefully improves Apple's bottom line.
I should point out that I own no MAC or I-Pod, I do not work for apple corporation or use apple products. This won't idemnify me from attacks as some form of Zealot, but at least I may take some form of insular high-ground within my own head.
People hate unions way too much to unionize in an efficient effective manner. What's worse, unions fail to consolidate across non-functional bounds (liek in Frnace for example) so only certain sub-strata can actually negotiate for a better deal so to speak. The paring down of unions in North America has been a long dark ride.
I video blog from my phone on occasion, usually when I hit something crazy when I'm out and about.
I can't say that I'd use video in place of text, but I can fall back on a 15 second clip to provide more impact than a paragraph long blurb, especially from my phone
You must really not be aware that this is simply not true. An honest days pay for an honest days work is almost the opposite of how things work. You know this, you know that a coal worker, who works WAY harder than any programmer will in all likely hood nevver make as much as said programmer.
Yup,
So American Did nothing during the 90s to try and stop actual Genocide, let me be the first to remind you that Rwanda and Bosnia both occurred during that time. When politics failed guns prevailed (in a full 50% of the cases cited) not to mention Haiti and well.. shot, you get the picture Mr. I'm not partisan but I forget the major stuff. the "Major Genocide" in Iraq occurred in the 80s, this sis documented proof. Yes, Saddam was a crazy mofo who played rough with his toys, but he was a crazy mofo who was in a panopticon of oversight.
Please, when you post on the "overwhelmingly Anti-Bush" slashdot, try and hit the broad side of the Barn you are aiming for, rather than the pigsty next to it.
Ah, I'm sure I'm forgetting something, like something about Missles into some country or something. I'll let someone else fill that in for us.
You get the point though, right? Good old Korea is trooping up and down the DMZ with guns guns guns and there ar eno US troops dropping in on old Kim, are there? The Sudan? Haiti for that matter?
Please, try a bit harder next time.
On your whole, oppressed Arabs deal... Are you an Arab living in one of the so-called oppressed nations? No? I may want to place my 21st centurya morals and values upon them, and hate their way of life, but for those that takwe the time to speak out and tell us what they think, they don't want your help. They want you to take off. I hear enough from Americans about how they don't want foreigners to tell them what to do, why then, is it okay to tell whole nations what to do?
Get it straight or get off the fricking soapbox.
Counter point, sorta. Call it a flip flop or just nuance if you want
Just so we are together on this, there are people in the Arab world who want what the western world has, we should all support them, they love the Western world. We should encourage them to make the changes they want, from within, and support them in any way we can. The problem that the western world faces, however, is that it ends up enforcing it's way upon the rest of the people who do not want American or Western Anything. Their 14th century lifestyle, with rights for none and subservience to a Theocracy or Theocratic Autocrat(s).
There are Americans who don't think that black people shoudl marry white folks, you don't send in troops to force the issue (any more).
Oh well, this is not debate, this is a bully pulpit as I don't need to look at your reply, and you don't need to read mine. If I type any more I'll just end up sparking a debate at the bus stop tomorrow.
Umm, hello
There have been TWO Star Wars franchise TV shows already!
Droids that covered the further adventures of of C2PO and r2D2 (I think these ar eplaced between ep3 and ep4, but I dunno.
and The Ewoks Cartoon
Is this a "Sharked already jumped" point, or do those cartoons not count?
For the record, I loved them both, but then I am addicted to cartoons. so, you know, meh.

Under a broad interpretation of this, we are.
Shame on us.
Or, you know, people watching horror movies.
Or David Lynch Films.
Or ART.
Or Dramatizations of Crimes.
I'd wave a bloody shirt, but you know, possesion of violent porn and all (someone would be shirtless and bloody)

You're probably right... songbird LOOKS good, I hope it plays out as well or better than flock has (where is the next release guys?)
Flock, IMHO is superior to Firefox, and seems to handle my browing habits in a very cohesive and functional manner. That being said, damn this thing has a wicked memory leak!
I've had success with a firefox based browser and adblock plus (for those ads on digg) you might want to check that out.

Did all the AC trolls suddenly resign too?
