Jesus and Mohammed have spawned more death than any other beings in the history of the world including Hitler who is quite commonly thought to have suffered from insanity possibly caused by syphillis. Mohammed himself often sacked villages when they wouldn't listen to his "gospel". Hobbes was also tainted by the irrationalism of religion and Machiavelli was only writing to appease and justify the actions of his regional lords as he was sick of the years of persecution he had suffered. Out of your examples, only Buddha is a good one and he did not benefit from the long history of rational thought we now take for granted.
I disagree. The law is only able to be followed and enforced consistantly and fairly if it is derived from reason and logic. Attempting to judge based on circumstances lets in a certain amount of subjectivity that can easily and quickly become unmanageble. Having absolute law is the only kind of law possible in a system run by imperfect beings.
I believe I specified that I have met more than "two", and you would be more inclined to agree if you'd ever spent more than a couple of days on a reservation.
If the land was given back to them, the "native-americans" (every single one I've ever met, which adds up to alot since I lived in Arizona) would just sell it right back to us for whiskey and the opportunity to steal from and kill each other. I have traveled widely, and no other group of people is sadder. They are given more opportunities than most people in the world can imagine, yet they continue to live like animals. My brother knew a guy that actually took the time to go to college for free (paid for by the US government and available to all n-as) and got his degree, but then went right back to the reservation because it was free and didn't require any work. With that attitude, I say "Fuck 'Em!"
By instinct, the author probably meant the instant reflex of which you speak. The situation given was only one out of many that the military would train in. Most likely, they would attempt to get soldiers to the point where they could instantly analyze the situation, decide upon the best course of action, and act upon it. So, no, I don't think that this kind of training is a bad idea at all.
If this was done electronically, there would have to be a limit to how often you could 'recycle'. Otherwise, just buy one token and recycle it at the end of listening to every song.
Your legal guarantees to privacy are not spelled out in the Constitution. They were only legally recognized when the Supreme Court said we had a resonable expectation to a certain amount of privacy. I believe this was actually relativly recently, say the 60's or so. Anybody have any more info?
Like I mentioned in an earlier post, managed code helps optimize the code for some of the bad programmers out there who cannot do it themselves, and takes care of a lot of exceptions and other "troublesome" things:) So, in the long run, it may not be that bad a thing afterall.
Why should I use an language designed for bad programmers? No self-respecting code monkey would ever say "Well, they designed this to do minor optimizations for people like me that can't code for shit, and that's why I use it." Either you have no self-respect, or you're the most honest person I've ever met.
As several others have already mentioned, the device only consumes power when changing the display (page) and leaves the display in a static state at all other times. In a video demonstration I saw of this or a very similar technology, the time to switch the display to a new page would probably be a little slower than desired, say 1-2 seconds, but easily fast enough to be quite usable.
Regardless of the semantics, syndicate is a word with a connotation of organized crime in the order of the Mafia or Yakuza. It holds a heavily biased meaning to the average person, and it's use does indicate disdain for group it describes. Every word in every press release is carefully chosen to cast a good or bad light on the given subject. You would be extraordinarily naive to think otherwise.
This is the first suggested law I've seen in a while that I actually want to support. The basic idea is to erase the income tax and replace it with a nation-wide sales tax. This would do away with 95% of the spagetti tax code we have and provide a fair tax across all income ranges without the inherent unfairness of the tax brackets. All goods considered necessities would be tax-free allowing one to live almost without paying taxes if you were surviving on a povery level income.
With a free sevice such as this made available, I wonder how long it will take before gmail is the new warez tool. It wouldn't be hard to set up a mailing list server that would respond to requests for certain programs and would send those requests out once a day. This would allow one cd distributions a day per email address while allowing the distributor to upload only once and the leechers to download at full speed.
The key point here is keeping an ASCII version of each document available. The CSS versions might be nice, but would not replace the ability to dl and store documents for offline perusal. Keep this in mind.

It appears that Coral is having problems. Trying any website via Coral is a dead end right now.

Actually, that rule only applied to married females as the parent poster stated.

A better way to punish MS would be to buy the XBox (which they lose money on) and only buy used games (the only way they can make a profit).
You run director in linux?

Dumbfuck. The phrase is "Hear, Hear!" meaning listen to what is being said. Damn, some people need to think before they talk...or type.

Hmm, it's busy. I'll have to try again later.

The Fair Tax Act
This is the first suggested law I've seen in a while that I actually want to support. The basic idea is to erase the income tax and replace it with a nation-wide sales tax. This would do away with 95% of the spagetti tax code we have and provide a fair tax across all income ranges without the inherent unfairness of the tax brackets. All goods considered necessities would be tax-free allowing one to live almost without paying taxes if you were surviving on a povery level income.
This is the solution.
