this is scarier because of your reaction. if there had been any physical altercation, we'd be hearing about police brutality and terrorism, and we'd be hearing it a lot. but because people (like yourself) are willing to let it get swept under the rug when it's "dirty hippies" getting their voices silenced, the fascists will just continue to erode your rights. not oppression indeed...
i can choose not to answer the phone call, and thus incur no charge. this is especially useful if i don't recognize the number on caller id. i cannot, however, choose not to receive a text msg. even if the phone is turned off, i'll get the msg when i power it back up. see now?
it may be spending taxpayer money, but it's not like the plates are worth what you actually pay for them. i can't see this really costing that much, since, as others have pointed out, it's not likely many people will actually take them up on it.
there's a real good chance that you're too fucking tired because you're eating shit and not properly fueling your body. try getting up a few minutes earlier in the morning and making a healthy lunch. while you're at it, grab breakfast too (i never get the ppl who say they're too busy for breakfast and then wonder why they're lethargic and cranky all day). if you can't find fifteen minutes a day for a couple proper meals, you'll keep going the way you are now...not to mention the bad habits you'll be teaching your kids.
...this jackass would have had his minions out sticking pamphlets under my windshield wipers, decrying vhs tapes for enabling the kiddie pr0n. now he has a bigger pulpit...
some of the best music i ever bought was vinyl from garage sales. many times you can buy stacks of it for a few bucks. old jazz and swing albums, military marching bands, scottish pipe and drum stuff...there was really no end to the weird and inspirational stuff i found. then again, i was listening to it on a fifteen dollar sears turntable (also from a yard sale) and digging for interesting bits to sample. it's funny to me how audiophiles will make such a fuss about the particulars of the audio quality while being fairly oblivious to the actual music they're "listening" to. it's almost like going to a gallery to nitpick the artist's choice of brushes...
i'm not arguing that point. i still think it's a good idea to address the difference in a science class, so that the students in that class are armed with that info. i don't see a problem with spending the first class of a semester explaining to the students the differences between religious and scientific truths, and why the two aren't interchangeable.
that's a brilliant idea. i agree 100%. only science in the science classroom. now all we need is a way to explain this idea to the children in the science classroom so that they understand the difference between science and religion. or would you prefer that science take on the methods of many religions, and just ignore/shun/murder those who posit questions like "but how does science explain this better than religion?".
even if the end result is that congress is powerless, make bush do it. make him do it all. make him prove to the american people the lengths he will go to to cover up what he's done to the citizens.
because the headline "Apple's Leopard May Exclude 800MHz G4 Processors" is way less sensational. plus, look at all the page views for/. this generated, just from everyone correcting the headline...
doesn't seem fair to me at all. let's make up some numbers. let's pretend i paid $500 for autowidget 1.0. autowidget, inc. has agreed to provide me support on this software as part of my purchase price, for some specified time frame - let's call it one year. if i choose to sell that software after six months, why should i, or the purchaser, have to pay autowidget, inc. for support that's already been paid for? the vendor has already agreed to support the software for one year. if i upgrade my pc do i lose support? if the original end user leaves the company, does the new end user not get support? why should the vendor be able to renege on their end of the bargain simply because the software is now on a different pc with a different user?
my story, like yours, is purely anecdotal, but pretty much opposite. my first stab at pro-tools was a rig i built for a friend's studio, with the digi001 at the heart of it. built a nice pc, windows xp, installed pt and the digi as per the manual. yeah, the licensing with every plugin was a pain in the ass, but once that was done, it just worked. it just works to record audio, which it does rather well. it just works with reason / rewire for adding any instruments or synths that you're not recording live. bottom line: i've used pt, sonar, acid, cubase for daws with reason, reaktor...too many synths and samplers to list, and they mostly just work seamlessly. when linux can do this, it'll be ready.

i'm pretty sure it's actually property taxes and not income taxes that pay for education in most of the u.s.

lord, why couldn't he have been the king of pants...
from the article you link:
"In 609 the Byzantine emperor Phocas gave the building to Pope Boniface IV, who converted it into a Christian church..."
not "taken over", but given. doesn't really seem like there's a case here...
Dealing with pot takes much less time and anyone with basic education can do it.
so are you saying that american law-makers don't possess a basic education?

so microsoft is gonna "innovate" what apple has been doing since the 80's? that sounds about right
would it come off as rude if you told God to "go bless Yourself"?
ok, so imagine if your dvd player could translate the japanese subtitles to english...
