What a sad existence conservatism believes in if the rights you support don't even include something as basic as the right to do what you like as long as it doesn't harm anyone else.
We can be monitored by the government every second of our lives and every action we take can be subject to government approval but as long as you can make money and complain about it's all good?
I live in San Diego, so it's not so easy to check them out myself. I didn't think it was a confusing question, I'm just curious which bands in Austin you think are the best. I hear it's got a decent scene but aside from that I don't know much about the city.
I see. So their is a direct route but it's way overpriced and inconvenient. I guess my original point that the train situation really sucks still stands. Too bad, I would have liked to have been wrong!
Yeah, I've heard of that one, and I've tried looking for a train from San Diego to San Francisco on Amtrak's ticket site numerous times, but every trip they return seems to include a 6 hour bus ride through the central valley. Am I doing something wrong?
Overall, yeah our population density is low, but we've also got areas of high density such as the north-east corridor and southern California. What does the population of Wyoming and Alaska have to do with the poor service in our big cities?
Not that U-Verse doesn't have it's share of problems. The actual bandwidth available is low compared to Cox and the DVR they give you runs some real crap MS software. Also, baseball fans in San Diego are SOL.
Caching would be the opposite of what? The opposite of requiring tricky agreements between network or the opposite of unfairly using ISPs bandwidth? And either way, how are these bad things?
Wow, I could have sworn you were talking about the US there for a second. Did we trade you some of our Republican legislators in exchange for sending UK troops to Iraq?
My recent experience with Amtrak (San Diego to Los Angeles) was first rate. The only problem is that the available routes are extremely limited, no train available from LA to SF for instance.
That's the first thing I though. High-Speed Rail to San Francisco is what we really need, the current rail situation is a joke. A four hour trip from San Diego to San Francisco for under $100? Yes please!
My girlfriend actually tells me I need a Chinese girlfriend! Her family is Chinese but she was born in Thailand and never learned Mandarin. We're learning it together right now, but it sure would help if one of us knew the correct pronunciations.
Actually I think what H. L. Mencken said is closer to the truth
When a candidate for public office faces the voters he does not face men of sense; he faces a mob of men whose chief distinguishing mark is the fact that they are quite incapable of weighing ideas, or even of comprehending any save the most elemental -- men whose whole thinking is done in terms of emotion, and whose dominant emotion is dread of what they cannot understand. So confronted, the candidate must either bark with the pack or be lost... All the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre -- the man who can most adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum.' The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
The general reason is because more intelligent people tend to think they know more and are better qualified to determine "what's best", whether that's true or not. Yeah, but guess what? Less intelligent people also tend to think they know more and are better qualified to determine "what's best". Especially those that are running for political office.
The difference is that the less intelligent people are more likely to be wrong about their perceived abilities.
All you're really saying is that the system works - people who are innocent, or whose crimes do not warrant death, are sometimes released from death row No, he's saying that the system is imperfect. You are fooling yourself if you think that innocent people never get executed. We have no way of knowing how often it happens, but it's a certainty that it does happen.
One should expect contradiction within it, since it is a collection of a number of books written by different authors at different times for different purposes. That does not make it irrelevant or unhelpful. One viewing the book from a secular perspective would not be surprised to find contradictions in the Bible. On the other hand, the Christian view is that the book is the word of God in which case contradictions would not be possible.

Do you actually think that all bacteria are a single species???
Matrix style displays also have some major drawbacks though. Who really wants to have that big cable plugged into the back of their heads?
Not necessarily, at least in its current state. The universe today is quite a bit bigger than when it started.

You just missed a perfect chance to help those bands out. Who can you recommend?

Anyway, thanks for the info.

WTF dude? That line you quote is in the summary. Your comment ignored that statement which is why Artuir said you didn't bother to read the summary
Why limit it to just the white-haired, white male CEOs? Blonde-haired women CEOs like Carly Fiorina are no different.
Yeah, the talk sounds nice, but they've got a lot of actual work to do to make up for past karma.

Off the top of my head, how about this one. When a cleric prays for regeneration of limbs god never responds. This is not always true in D&D.
Ice isn't even necessary. It's been my experience that dripping tap water on a hot bulb is enough to cause an implosion.
Did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he put on a dress and played girl bunny?
Just asking.
