Second, will Al Qaeda reciprocate? I'm thinking not. "Hi. We have kidnapped you and are planning on beheading you in our next propaganda video, but first you have the right to challenge being detained at this terrorist training camp in a court of law. Would you like a court-appointed Sharia expert to act as your attorney, or should we fly in private counsel for you?"
If we behave like Al Qaeda, how can we call ourselves the "good guys"?
Also, how do you fight a war under rules that were designed for domestic law enforcement? Dust the battlefield for fingerprints, stick his AK-47 in an evidence bag, and make sure to read the guy who was firing the rocket launcher at you his Miranda rights in the correct Arabic dialect or he walks. And of course if Al Qaeda manages to kill off the solider who carried out the arrest, all the prisoners he's captured get released since they can no longer cross-examine the arresting officer.
Obviously, the procedures for soliers in the field are different from the procedures for dealing with street criminals. How did we deal with war in the past? I'm sure we didn't worry about "due process" with the Nazis, but niether did we hold them indefinitely. Shoot them, try them, or release them.
I find it amusing that you consider a language used on an increasingly more popular desktop platform, and on the most popular mobile device of the past year, effectively "dead". What could possibly be a more relevant criteria for liveness?
This "popular" desktop platform still has a tiny marketshare compared to a certain unnamed monopolist. And this mobile device is new and was closed to 3rd-party apps.
I suspect Obj C will become more popular now, but there really wasn't much reason to use it before, compared to other languages that are far more widely used.
The second question answers the first. I don't know anyone who LIKED Bush in 2004, but I knew plenty of people who thought he sucked less than Kerry. Until we escape the "Republicrat" trap, we'll be stuck with crap Presidents, whether the right sock-puppet or the left sock-puppet wins.
I respect his integrity, but he didn't win any political points for this. A good President should have integrity AND political smarts, and all of the "fringe" candidates seem to be lacking in the latter.
That reminds me of 1992. People went on and on about the size of Ross Perot's ears. As if that made any difference in what kind of President he would have been.
I'm 6'4 and I have no problem fitting comfortably in a modern sedan with an adjustable steering wheel.
I'm 6'1", and once, when my car was in the shop, the car rental place tried to give me a Ford Escort, which DIDN'T have an adjustable steering wheel. Unless I want to steer with my knees, an adjustable steering is a neccesity.
I'm the same height as you, and my knees get in the way of steering in some cars (the Ford Escort for example). I don't have or want a SUV, but there's definitely a limit to how small a car I can fit into.

Could have been worse. At least your name wasn't "Richard Morton". Imagine the havok a script with those initials would do!
The source can tell you WHAT the program is doing, but it doesn't tell you WHY. Especially when the programmer did something tricky.
Nah! If they were doing that, it would be Leaping Leopard.

IIRC, changing the Constitution requires 2/3 of the House, 2/3 of the Senate, and 3/4 of the state Legislatures. Bush isn't going to change squat.
I'd certainly classify Uranus as a gasoid.
Obviously, they hate our freedom. Fortunately, our government is correcting that problem.
Wait a minute! Are you telling me that it has a phone too?

Nixon wasn't removed from office. He resigned. He probably WOULD have been removed.
IMO, it's worth mentioning that all 3 impeachments or near-impeachments happened when the Congress & President were of different parties.

Well, he must have something going for him. How many other elves have hawt wives like that?

I knew of 2 Presidential candidates who I would have been happy to vote for. Kucinich was one of them.
If they were worth as many $$$ as computers, yes.
I'd also add the French poodle to your list. I don't think God created THAT.

But not so perfect for the pedestrians on those sidewalks, who are lucky if they're doing 3 MPH.
Yeah, but I bet the hoveround will be more fuel-efficient.
Well, eleven years before 2012 was 2001, and we all know what disaster happened then.
Bush got into office.
I expect that any "drop" will just be from totally obscene to only slightly obscene. I don't think we'll ever see cheap gas again.
A lot of my cow-orkers have Prius's. The parking lot is full of them.
The problem with bikes is, they are too fast for the sidewalks, and too slow for the streets.
