This comment shows a lack of understanding of Gandhi's accomplishments. Had he acted alone, he would surely have been run over by a train and long forgotten. And the British were *very* violent--ask anyone who was at Amritsar.
Gandhi succeeded because he knew why the British were there, and inspired millions to help make it more difficult to stay than it was worth.
If you get enough people to lie before a train, one of two things will happen-- (1) the sheer number of bodies will physically stop the train, or (2) the engineer will be unable to stomach plowing through so many people.
Wars are not necessarily won by decimating your opponent, but by eliminating your opponent's taste for war.
I'm confused. The bill is called Internet Freedom Preservation Act of 2009, but having read the bill, it looks like it would actually do the OP says it will. I was beginning to think that there was a rule that a bill's title has to be antithetical to its true intent (e.g., the PATRIOT Act and Internet Freedom and Broadband Deployment Act)
Actually, not necessarily. My dad's Lexus GS300 (traction control, drive-by-wire throttle) got stuck in the snow as I was backing it out of my driveway. With the traction control on, it wouldn't even try to move--I floored the pedal, and it stayed at idle (kind of eery, really).
Eventually, it occurred to me to try it without traction control, and I spun my way to freedom.
I did google my phone number (although I admit that its a mobile phone). All I got were references to the area code and exchange, and one reference to my wireless provider.
To summarize, the House of Representatives must vote to impeach (i.e., indict or bring charges against the President). Actual removal from office requires conviction, which must be approved by the Senate. Only two presidents have been impeached (Jackson and Clinton), and neither of them were convicted.
Hmm... We may actually have to impeach this asshat before the election. We *need* to impeach both of these asshats before the election (both Dubya and Darth Cheney). Given all of their crimes (from misleading the public to sell a war to willfully performing unlawful searches), not impeaching them sends the message to future administrations that this sort of behavior is OK.
I was technologicaly fluent at using a pencil. It wasn't my ability to use a pencil that made me the right guy for my job. I don't even OWN a pencil, you insensitive clod!
I very rarely save in ODF. If I use OpenOffice at all, it's because I have to share the file as a Word doc. If I only have to share the finished work (i.e., no one else has to edit it), I write it in LaTeX and generate a PDF.
I hate all word processors. Just gimme LaTeX and emacs so I don't get hung up on all the formatting crap. You get far more consistency with LaTeX with far less effort.

Lonely Planet has this even more entertaining article on N. Korea, describing a visit as a "bizarre" experience.

That explains the disappointed look on the cable guy's face when he showed up at my girlfriend's place and found me.

Fine. Then we should let them secede from the union, put a fence around them, then let them devolve in peace.

Wow. I often don't even wear pants. Oh, wait, you're talking about being at home.
This is all the feces of a male bovine!!!

Its not quite that simple--they also need to think outside the box.
I use Firefox, but I only know how to swear in Klingon.

You don't automatically win if the cop does not show up--you have to move for dismissal.

That is a tasty burger!
Of course, I've heard that while the Veyron is going 253 mph, it can burn through a tank of gas in 12 minutes.
