That's a standard government trick. You pass a whole bunch of bills right before you leave power, so that you look good; usually these bills involve dumping enormous amounts of money into social programs. The next administration has to repeal them all (usually because they're completely impractical), and has to look like jerks for it.
Holy Crap, attach a turbine to you and we've got power, you're spinning that fast.
Not one paragraph up you were painting Clinton as evil for not doing it, and painting Bush as great for then doing it. Phase forward a few seconds and we now have you saying "OMFG it is totally inpractical, that's why he was scum for implementing it.".
PS: Before you accuse me of Democratic bias for pointing out your horrificly obvious flipflopping, I'm not even American.
Lets play a game
I have to hide 200 2 liter bottles in the state of Texas.
I have 10 years to hide them.
You have 18 months to find them
If you don't find them I can shoot you in the head.
Want to play?
Sure, provided the following is true:
i) It takes very specialised equipment, and scientists to make the stuff in the bottles. And it takes a lot of them. Warehouses full of the stuff.
ii) I win by finding anything at all to do with the manufacture of the bottles, the substance, paperwork to do with same, credible interviews with people saying that the bottles exist.. anything like that.
The only way to ensure the software remains free is to restrict other peoples freedom's though. The only difference between what you said and what he said was that he came out and said "This is how they do it." while you are trying to hide behind "They want to do this, and X is a side effect."
It pisses off customers who get damaged goods. It pisses off citizens who see that its backers want to force us to live in an electronic police state like sheep.
Well, if the option is quality 'damaged' content, vs crappy 'pristine' content. I'll take the good damaged content instead.
Life is too short to play Tux Racer instead of HL2.
Or perhaps that perhaps you should open your country up to weapons inspectors and get out of their way as you agreed to when we let you keep your country earlier? Perhaps you should heed one of the last 200 warnings of "No, really, you need to let us in, like you agreed to do."
Perhaps you are one of the people the article talks about:)
You sir, sound like a man who needs a load balanced cluster.
If you're relying on individual boxes staying up to meet your SLA's, your career is a ticking timebomb.
Their backup power supplies didn't kick in, causing the whole problem in the first place. An article reader is not you. [And in this case, the article was just a few lines of text typed in while they break their back getting the regular servers back up.]
It took Intel less then a few weeks to get an injunction prohibiting any US sales. European injunctions followed.
What were these injunctions for? I realise that your Judicial arm could be corrupt, but surely Intel had to at least provide a reason for getting them issued.

No dental appointments neccessary for that to happen.

I guess with kids, dental records change too quickly to be 100% useful.
So.. basically what he said, just worded differently. Sir, I applaud you.
Oh, I meant 'kids who just accept what the government spoon feeds them... NEXT ON FOX!!"

+1 insightful. I wish I had mod points :P
No, that's pretty much the second hypothesis, just reworded a bit.

Well, as long as you're being scientific about it.

No one knows how gravity works. Damn gravity.
Now the important question is.. does it keep away tigers?
I'm not sure how your interpretation will keep the rain off.. But more power to you!
And believe me, there is nothing I like more than pointing out flaws in poorly designed analogies.
My guess is that they gave up quietly because: they have copied their CPU design illegally.

I'm not sure if the satellites got you into the war, so much as your congressional overlords saying "HMm.. time for war eh? Well, how about Iraq."
