I think it likely that the reasons US citizens haven't impeached Bush are: 1) Citizens can't do that. Only Congress can. 2) Bush isn't president any more.

Most people define a lie as a statement the speaker knows to be false.

When you decide to sue someone for copyright infringement you must choose a country and sue them under the laws of that country. The copies were created in the USA and so USA law applies. "International law", such as it is, is irrelevant.
And by the time of the release of NCSA Mosaic 0.91 web designers had figured out how to bungle pages in such a way as to cause them to be garbled when viewed with the "wrong" font.
...can now bugger up pages in even more ways that will make them hard to read and cause them to render incorrectly for those of us who cannot read 2 point type.
...would give the ISPs a financial incentive to speed your music and video downloads along. But you'd never support such an outrage, would you? Because then you'd actually have to *pay* for downloading all your "tunes" and movies.

But he *isn't* pulling the same crap. This is *different* crap.
Hey. You can get away with a lot on Slashdot, but don't you go dissing Tesla.
Perhaps some of those patients were chimeras .
Anything else is *so* last century.
You would prefer that contracts go to the high bidder?

Yet you use virtualization.

Sounds like she wants the Hurd.

No wonder they're confused. Amazon deleted their handbooks from their Kindles.

If you value creativity. Many don't.

So what?

That is ... "remarkable".
> How boring.
Yes, having poor eyesight can be boring. Fotunately life has pleasures beyond the thrill of a beautiful typeface.

Not to mention even slower to load.
Not light pressure. Ablation.
...is that this was not caught by validity checks. Was this perhaps an error that affected only the printing of the statement?
Make that anyone who buys from a spammer.

Only if one has a copy of XP.

Patents are *published*.
Actually, the things should never have been protected by copyright, either. Where is the creative expression?

Could we have an example of an "illegitimate" reason?
