No, his speech writers parse his words carefully. Left to his own devices, Bush has enough difficulty getting a sentence out on the first try. I seriously doubt he has the extra bandwidth to consider what the words actually mean.
Wake me up when there's a legitimate threat to my rights
Let's see:
Patriot Act, attempted ban on same-sex marriages, abortion ban activism (with a partial enacted ban), DMCA, INDUCE...
You might want to get yourself out of bed. Your rights are being chipped away, little by little, as we speak. Now is certainly not the time to blow it off as hyperactivism or paranoia.
You can hardly call yourself a fan if that's what you do.
A fan is a fan because they like the art, not because they buy the art. A fan that buys up all the releases of an artist would be a fan-boy. Or girl.
And I'm sorry, but the only thing the White Stripes deserve for "their efforts" is a bullet behind the ear. Please, Jack White can't even play the guitar. Watch him sometime. No, barre chords do not count as playing the guitar, and neither does drop-D tuning just to one-finger your power chords.:P
With all the religious fervor [the collective] we exhibit over the evils of various corporations (Enron easily among them), I'd be shocked if anyone actually purchased from this auction. Or maybe a cheap Sun server is worth a little hypocrisy?
OH MY GOD, did I insult your precious Star Trek? Did you sit there stewing in it for the full 8 days, or did you just get back from a convention all pumped up and ready to reply?
Set phasers to warp factor dork and full speed ahead, Admiral Fucktard!
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for humor, and -- no fooling -- not just to take the opportunity to be offensive. For example: I'm the GOP's worst liberal nightmare who just also happens to think Moore should stick to dumpster diving for facts rather than try terribly transparent sympathy plays (say that five times fast) to sway voters. You could say I live for comedy.
How hard would it have been to just put them in text format?
Well, first you have to compile the spreadsheet program source tree, assuming you have a compiler installed. If not, you'll first want to trace through about 15 years of gopher sites to find the binaries for gcc. Don't download the source to gcc, otherwise you will find yourself so hopelessly confused by the "chicken or the egg" notion that you will give up and be back here within minutes, comfortably arguing between vi and emacs. But vi is like it's own shell, man.
Once you've rewritten most of the code to run on your machine, make sure you track down and download the appropriate libraries on which the program depends. You will probably have to refactor and build those, too. To be on the safe side, you should set aside a little extra time for this step. Five years should suffice, give or take.
Now that everything is built (you can safely ignore those bothersome linker warnings) you should more the docs to figure out how to install each particular binary. Usually this can be accomplished by the time you finish your degree in Computer Science. If not, you can usually get away with putting off your thesis for a week or two to finish up. If all else fails, just copy everything to/bin.
Almost there! All that is left is to visit your nearest tech book store (or google yourself a few FDL sites that may or may not have one shred of post-1975 information to help you) in order to learn how to use your freshly installed...

I don't really think DS9 counts. I mean, how can you even call it Star Trek when they just sat around a space station with an onslaught of vagrant aliens?
Edgy, but pure bullshit. Tell that to the all of the film-makers who got their inspiration from the first television show they saw as children.
Sure, you can say that television is total shit. I share the opinion. It is total shit. But you know what, who cares? I choose not to watch it. If my neighbor digs it, big deal. It's stupid to get angry over that, regardless of whether or not I like it. Besides, you know you love a good movie as much as anyone. Guess where movies would be without television?
I'll tell you what is worth getting angry over, if you insist on being so hardcore: that these massive government agencies, as you put it, have anything at all to do with what a person can or cannot watch on television. Since when does the government have the right to tell you what is or is not appropriate? What, are you not capable of making that decision on your own?
Well that's what they're tellin' ya.
Personally, I find it indicative of the height of decadence in society today that we've got massive government agencies whose sole purpose is to keep content designed for wasting time within certain 'limits' of 'social acceptance'.
Decadence? What is decadent about censorship?
the fact that 400,000 people a day are sitting in front of televisions
Was that supposed to sound epic? That is such a miniscule percentage of the population that it would not even register as a 'concern'.
Hell, I bet there are more people than that following that gasbag Billy Graham and his Dollars for Jesus tour. And you are worried about people watching television?

Politicians in America go where the money is.
Buy used WiFi gear. If there isn't a good market for it yet, POS taxes will create one.
LOL only this close to election day would that be anything but humorous.

Man, some of you take your politics way too seriously (and mod like sheep, too).
Baaah.

Good point.

Or you could say I'm a retard.
Either way I think I'm in the clear.
No, it's "Are you tired?" not "Are you retarded?".

I don't think any site could handle the amount of traffic that would generate. Except

So without new books, where are you going to find used books? =o
BTW, Freedom Downtime was made by 2600, the same guys behind The Fifth HOPE.
...and is only available in VHS format. Do these guys still try to use those Captain Crunch whistles to make free phone calls, too?
Toot toot! Hello 21st century calling!
how the US ever hopes to win a war on terrorism when their military costs are so many orders of magnitude higher.
Well, when you run with a crowd that just prints more money when they run out, the world is really your oyster.
I'm sorry -- I'm really not a troll, I swear -- but what the fuck did ANY of that mean?
It was humor, stupid.
The middle seasons of DS9 were watchable

Shit man, get your priorities straight.
I dunno man. If you aren't with us, you are with the terrorists.

That leaves like 60+% of the US alone. He could very well be among them.
All the more reason for my girlfriend to switch back to XP.
