People do have their prejudices and there is NOTHING you can do about it.
As far as your "obvious example"...
Which court are you talking about Florida State ( composed solely of Gore friendly Democrats ) or SC ( where Republican nominated members are in majority) ?
So White boys are again responsible for Black behavior?
Isn't that a bit racist to claim that Blacks are unable to control they own behavior?
After all, one can easily choose not to participate in that madness.
I do agree that war on drugs is a complete waste of resources but your claim that Blacks have no opportunities in this country is ridiculous.
There are tons of ways to earn decent living...
Of course the very first step would be to stop acting like victim of society and do something about your future.
It is not funny when one considers the fact that poor blacks in overwhelming majority of cases actually ARE responsible for what they are accused of.
Every seen crime rate in poor black communities?
It is a social problem completely unrelated to law enforcement policies of this country.
No, it is not about punishing vandalism with death.
It is about forcing policeman (who are just men like you and me dealing with their own fears) into no-choice position.
Again, common sense should tell you that attacking bunch of surrounded (and undoubtedly scared) armed policeman is NOT a good idea.
"Many protestors believe that the police actually infiltrated the black block and took part in some of the worst property destruction."
So what ? People do believe in aliens, you know...
"or a young man wielding a fire extinguisher get fatally shot in the head."
Dude, I wonder how would you react if there was an mob-style angry guy with heavy fire extinguisher getting ready to throw it at you..
Think about it for a second.
This was not "peaceful protester" but well prepared thug whose only goal was to cause mayhem and destruction.
Bottom line: if you DO NOT wield heavy objects at police, you do not get shot.
PS.
If your cause is so important that you are prepared to use violence then at least be consistent enough and restrain yourself from complaining when opposing side respond with same kind of violence.

Since you are completely off topic here I would like to ask...
How in the world you can sleep well PROMOTING Ecstasy to kids knowing full well that there were many cases of people dying as a direct result of using it.
Notice, I do not support war on drugs and if some people decide to fuck themselves up with drugs then so be it ( as long as I am not forced to pay for their habit) but promoting this stuff ?
"the thugs cornering your ass in a dark corner *are* the police. "
Hmm, are you suggesting that all these broken windows, destroyed property and burned out cars were provided to us by our "dark corner" police?
You know, you can protest G8 till you puke but please, do NOT FUCKING DESTROY stuff that other people spent lives working for.
Should you choose to do so I will personally applaud ANY sort of measure taken by our police to prevent this.

"Once 3.0 is out, they plan to standardize on it for a long time to allow a large application base to build up. "
That depends on Trolls schedule....
I doubt KDE folks will resist temptation to upgrade to 4.0 Qt...
Once you there I think you should stay there.
You seem to fit with Russians very well.
They do not have all this burden of "evil corporations", everything is run by friendly neighborhood mafia boss.
I mean perfect place for a guy like you.. anarchy, IP rights do not exist... No Gestapo tactics ( with possible exception of already mentioned mafia dude )
I take you enjoyed Soviet occupation of your country during the last 40 years.
Frankly, you must be stupid (yeah, stupid) to equate Soviet system with US, even considering all the mistakes this country is making.
How about you take your "wisdom" to tens of thousands of Russians, here in Chicago, who willfully decided that famous (according to you) Russian sense of loyalty so prevalent among Russian companies, is not worth much and being here in US and working for heartless US companies is much better deal.
Yeah, but you forgot to mention that before you can use that feature you have to make sure that your kernel has support for it compiled in and if it does not you have to do it yourself.
Just like this guy I have always noticed that Linux desktop seems slower "in general".
I could not stand old XFree at all and I am using Accelerated X which goes a long way to speed things up but still is not quite as smooth as equivalent Windows desktop.

"maybe this could be another reason to impeach the five members of the Supreme Court "
I will go for that as soon as we will also impeach entire state of Florida SC .
What a strange statement. ...
If they decided NOT to anger 49% of they would automatically end up pissing off other part of the country
People do have their prejudices and there is NOTHING you can do about it. ...

What is wrong with people picked by Bush ?
So far his choices were rather excellent.
Well Posix uses fcntl() and allows to lock parts of the file either for exclusive or shared access.
Win32 has a call named LockFileEx which does pretty much the same thing.
Where exactly is that huge disparity ?
"rather limited file sharing services "
How is it limited ?
Oh well, people would come up with BSD style licensed client and server and nobody would even notice it is no longer GPL.
Well, there is one other thing ... you die like pig.

Stop snickering around and simply say what you really want to say: you think Americans suck and you will use every occasion to point this out.

xlock does not lock much , one can easily kill X from there and restart it again.
Sure but the question is : do you know any better ( or more just) place to live on that planet ?
