Now, for the unrelated question, YES I support the proper application of the President's Constitutional Powers.
Where were Canadians sent to Syria by the US? You are speaking of that Syria that is constantly pissing us off and barely has any sort of diplomatic relations with the US?
At least Al Gore [moveon.org] seems to have "moved on" from those days and taken a stand in favor of freedom (more in opposition to the outrageous Bush "enemy combatant" designation than the Patriot Act, but this is definitely in the category of Bush's refusal to respect basic civil rights.)
BAHAHAHAHA! Yea, he moves on and supports freedom when he is out of office? How wounderful, generous and all the rest. BTW, he was saying the same things when he was IN office and dismantling our freedoms. Seems to be a family thing with his wife, Tipper, heading up the PMRC.
Oh, you must be speaking of a different Ted Turner. Sorry for the confusion, I was speaking of this one

Dinamo: In every company there are people who push for political decisions to be made no matter what. Who were the drivers of the decision to sell to AOL within Time Warner and how did they get there?
KARA_SWISHER: Incredibly, Jerry Levin made this merger almost entirely by himself with consultations from very few executives, although current CEO Dick Parsons was certainly more involved than he likes to admit now. That's also true for Ted Turner, one of the company's major shareholders.
Not the only thing that he has a major interest in, of course.
asshat
Oh, you must have been speaking to yourself the whole time. Well, unless you think last month was "years" ago, in that case please consult a "calendar for dummies" book.
That certainly would be the impression by watching their news, attitudes of the editors/directors and the rest. Too bad what you say in jest is really the truth.
and Disney is controlled by the unions.
As for Disney, they are attacked for their social policies by the Evangelicals and Conservatives alike, certainly not the mark of a socially liberal organization. The only people on the Left who attack them are those who actually care about Copyright abuses by Hollywood. Certainly not controlled by Unions, but definately on the Left politically.
Oh yea, your little example left out the Hollywood entertainment industry. I suppose you wish us to believe them to be a bunch of Conservatives too?
Most papers, radio shows, and TV outlets are conservative owned and operated. They might not appear to be so on the surface, after all it is what sells that they focus on. If people want liberal views that is what they are going to get, if they want conservative view they will get that also.
Excuse me AC, but Ted Turner is no conservative. Neither are the owners of the New York Times, the LA Times and many others. Rich does not mean Conservative.
The parent is correct, PLUS Gore Vidal is the brighter cousin of the Al Gore/Gore Vidal kinship (yes, the relation is a fact that seems to be little known).
Odd that so many times Bush's relatives are dragged out to make some sort of wacky conspiracy theory, but Gore Vidal talks about elections and everybody forgets that he is Albert Gore Jr.'s cousin!
I would be quite surprised if the blanket statement about contributions to "the Bush Administration" (sorry, in the USA we contribute to campaigns, not administrations) ommitted contributions to the DNC, the loosing campaign of Al Gore, and current Democrat candidates. Just a hunch, since large firms usually contribute to both sides.
Correct, which leaves a whole lot more on the Left, like major newspapers, magazines and all the rest of the networks plus the rest of 24 hour cable news..
BTW, there are NOTHING LIKE 137 Security Council, the body that matters. Votess in the General Assembly are about as meaningful as City Council votes to be a "Nuclear Free Zone".
I really don't care about Egypt or Jordan or Lebanon or Syria. All corrupt governments, but I would expect Israel to outperform them on that Road map. I really am disappointed, it looked like a realistic plan and Arafat signed onto it at least.
No kidding. I guess you are not aware that you are talking about what WAS their land and was captured by Israel? Didn't think so.
I seriously hope that you are not under the impression that this land was ever a "Palestinian state", but it would not surprise me.
I notice that you didn't mention the fact that the UN has adjudged Israel's (why can't YOU spell Israel, by the way?) occupation illegal.
Ahem, would you like to expand on this fiction?
Yes, numerous times the UN General Assembly has condemned Israel's continued LEGAL stewardship over land in dispute (as defined by the Laws of War and Peace), but I do not recall a single adjudication, by the Security Council or anybody else besides the Soviet Block an dthe Arab League that supports your yarn.
Now, when one nation invades another and the invader gets their ass kicked the winner gets to administer the land until there is a settlement. Those are the international rules, like them or not.
BTW, before you bring up the "P" word, neither Jordan nor Egypt nor Lebannon nor Syria ever made an effort to make an autonomous "Palestine".
Well, they did add to technology a great deal, including how to make stuff that will last on the Moon for ages, plus how to make BF rockets and keep the weight down. Don't forget the "deep space" communications network.
Plenty was accomplished in addition to geology.
Certainly I would be happier if more commercial uses had been included, but watch out for the mods here! As soon as a non-Communist wants to use a resource it becomes a bad/. thing.
The US didnt do anything useful on the moon except for some geology research.
Well, yea, that was the stated purpose. I suppose you would go against the flow of the Slashbots and join me in wishing Bechtel and Haliburton had Moon mining contracts by 1975?
As long as it is reported as a copy of something already done, no problem!
It is not the fact that the Chinese are using a tested method, it is the fact that the reporters are acting as if this is the first time anybody did it this way. I missed the portion of the/. story that mentions this, can you point it out?
There are three general goals - orbiting the Moon, docking spacecraft with one another in lunar orbit, and returning moon rock samples to Earth. Each step is outlined, with a detailed description of what they hope to accomplish during the orbiting stage.
Yea, I saw this outline before, in the 1960's. It was called the Apollo program. If the Chinese "outline" were a college paper (in the days before uncreativity was rewarded) it would be submitted to the academic dishonisty board under the charge of a big word that begins with 'p' and ends in 'lagiarism'
Glad I looked for a post like this before I tossed in my immediate reaction: these guys are amatures, Cook County ILL has been running this way spanning three centuries and two millenia!
Corporate greed would lead to batteries that can keep a desktop powered for a week without recharging, but can only be recharged 10 times before they blow up with the machine they're attached to (so you get to buy a new machine too!)
If we are talking sales tax only then you are correct. If we are talking all taxes you are not.
If they are operatig a business in a state that has a corporate income tax and they generate revenue (not necessarily profit), it is taxed. The owners icome from the business is taxed. The employees salaries are taxed. Right now there is just one less layer, the transaction layer, free from taxes.
Slashdot Mirror
Well, don't forget PostgreSQL is a REAL database. It looks like MySQL wants to continue being a file system with an almost-SQL front end.
But I'm not dead yet.
I think I'm getting better.
The whole story is based on which "US Official" "admitting" that this was done so the suspect would be tortured?
What would this "official's" title be?
Ah, yes, un-named.
The Washington Post Guide to un-named officials:
White House Source: a person who delivers stuff to the White House
Administration Official: a person who signs for deliveries at the Department of Education cafeteria.
Pentagon Source: perhaps a janitor, perhaps lower.
Pentagon Official: the E4 I got drunk at Bullfeather's last night
etc.
Backing up a bit, who was held without legal representation?
If his lawyer filed anything I believe your question is poorly stated.
First, I was speaking of GORE.
Now, for the unrelated question, YES I support the proper application of the President's Constitutional Powers.

Yea, right.
Now backup and realize that batteries have been around since about 1800, as pointed out previously.
We are in an incramental efficiency improvement phase and have been for a while.
