I've flown ships from here to Corrella! In the arcade. Though I suppose that problem with puking if I'm more than 2 feet of the ground IRL might be a minor problem.
In the 1960's, we were the greatest country in the world, with power & resources to burn.
In 2005, we're just a dying country. Our tech is from Asia, our grunt work from Mexico, and after 4 years of preparing for emergencies, we totally botch the first natural disaster that comes along. Sorry about the flames, but the fact that we CAN'T do what we did 40 years ago pisses me off!:(
Before the tinfoil hatters come out, and blame the ??AA or the Government, think: when was the last time you watched one of those old Star Trek episodes you taped 15 years ago "in case you ever wanted to watch them again"?
A couple weeks ago, as a matter of fact. And I would have been pissed if that had been DRMd!
Welcome to the real world. Going after the guy without money might be good if you want revenge, but if you want your hospital bills paid, you'll follow the money.
Gore/Kerry were NEVER part of the solution. And Bush is only a small part of the problem, or do you think Bin Laden just decided to fly planes into our buildings after Bush was elected? We have to get rid of politicians on BOTH sides. The Democrats are just as evil and anti-freedom as the Republicans. FWIW, I voted Badnarik in 2004.
But, in some cases, you might be fighting for your life, and in that case you'll do whatever is neccesary. And many aggressors are NOT reasonable. If you are attacked by an UNreasonable aggressor, you might not have the luxury to worry about future enemies; you just want to beat the current one.
Guess what. If someone's kicking my ass in a street fight, I will draw my gun and shoot him. And I strongly suspect that you would do the same (if you had a gun).
My system keeps track of the last 12 passwords. I can't change back to what I was using yesterday. I just use $DUMBPASSWORD12 (or whatever number I'm on).
I don't compare the deaths by terrorist to gun deaths or traffic accidents. I'd rather compare them with deaths from governments that DID become too powerful and tyrannical. How many millions did Stalin kill? I'd people to think about THAT when our "leaders" talk about us surrendering our freedoms!
Then when he asks why I did it, I can tell him that I consider one of the essential characteristics that motivates my desire to see laws protecting my fellow man is that we are all in this together and that we have a social responsibility to each other, but that because of his political views he is not a part of my society but merely a self-centered interloper no more deserving of those protections than a rock in my driveway. Then, having gotten that off my chest, I could spit on him and quickly walk away whistling a cheerful tune before the authorities arrived.
A bit of friendly advice for you. While your assault would work on a wimpy liberal, libertarians don't wait for the authorities. The typical libertarian would probably break both your arms, spit on you, and walk away whistling before the authorities arrived.
Agreed! Years ago I bought a Dell craptop, and it was a total POS! I've had no problems at all with my iBook. It's far superior, software AND hardware.

We're certainly freer than the Chinese, but we're also clearly heading in the wrong direction.
Yeah, but Rome also got fat and lazy and cared more about entertainment than keeping an eye on their leaders. That could never happen here.

Microsoft isn't satisfied with the worst portal in the world. Now they want to buy the 2nd worst to guarantee their position.
Great, slashdot the store so nobody can get to it! You insensitive clod!
I know I used a bootable CD for Slackware 7.0. I don't know whether they had one before that.

I have $5,000 in my bank account. GM has $5,000,000,000 in theirs. Where do you THINK is the liability?

American soldiers were not terrorists. They engaged in guerilla warfare, but they did not kill innocent British civilians. There is a difference.
If someone kicks in my front door, I can shoot them. I can't shoot the telescammers through the phone. :(

What other users? My computer is a one-person desktop. Everything important is under $HOME.

Yeah, everyone knows that a ragtag bunch of peasants and farmers are no match for the mighty British redcoats.
I'm sure Uranus has plenty of methane!

OT, but I love how your sig matches the topic!
I'm not having any problems with !@#$ [NO CARRIER]
