And how has this changed in the past 5 years under BHO? We have more debt under BHO then under W; the bankers who caused the problems paid for BHO's election/relection rather then being prosecuted, we had additional wars, and we had a American ambassador murdered along with 3 others at a consulate in Benghazi and BHO blames it on a youtube video (which is a outright lie).
BHO never believed the United States was a great country and his actions have shown it.
"Then when they DID come in guns a blazin' they didn't have enough troops to deal with the aftermath of toppling a totalitarian regime."
Blame Paul Bremer for this. Iraq was run by the Bath party, a party who origins lie back w/ the german and italian facists in the 40's. Had we used the the de-nazification policies in Iraq that we did with Germany (ie, being in the Nazi party didn't mean you immediately lost your state job), then the transition would have been much smoother.
Additionally, we still lost a few thousand soldiers in Europe post-VE day through ~1947 to German partisons (ie, insurgent).
Siegel and Schuster were paid of handsomely 3 times over the past 80 years. The first time when they were paid $50,000 after WW2 for all rights to Superman. S&S (and their descendents) just kept on going back and wanting more money.
The Core-2-Quad 6600 (q6600) was released in Jan 2007. The chip is such a workhorse that it will run any of the new games out their. The limiter is the video card capabilities.
The crusades mentality? The crusades was christian defensive war against muslim imperialist aggression.
Yea, that sounds like a load of shit, but it isn't when you think about it. Palestine (aka modern day Israel), was a christian land for centuries. It was home to many christian holy places. Along come a bunch of muslim invaders out of the desert and they conquer the place. What were the European christian supposed to do? Just let them? Or do the send army's to retake and defend their land.
I use Excel & Access 2003 on a daily basis (Access provides a simple front end to SQL databases). The only time I load up Excel 2010 is when the sheet has more then 256 columns (rare) or ~65k rows (more common now). The ribbon is a pain as I lose all my custom menu bars (and the after thought of a hack put into the ribbon for this sucks). What is there about 2013 that would appeal to a non-corporate end user? Saving to a cloud? We have Google Drive/DropBox folders for that.
I just wonder why when idiots on MSNBC or CNN (or the 3 networks for that matter) say scientifically follish statements, we don't see that posted up on Slashdot? Is the hatred for Fox that much that they are held to a significantly higher standard?
DC Comics did pay them...several times over. This is the third time that the heirs went after DC (and Warners) and signed a "final" agreement. In fact, back in the mid or late 40's, DC paid both of them $50k each to settle.
On thing not mentioned here is the reason why this turned into a court case is the lawyer on Siegel's side. Had the Siegel's won, the lawyer would have actually become the controlling party of Superman, not the Siegel's.
"Solyndra got their loans under Pres Bush and a republican house."
Bullshit. The program that Solyndra got there money was started under Bush in 2005 but the credit committee voted against the loans on Jan 9 2009, before Obama took office. The Obama admin reversed this and granted the loans.
And yet it has been liberals who have put forth the suggestion that things would run better if only we had a authoritarian government like China or that things would get done if elections were suspended a few years.
One thing that was left unsaid about EQNext is Smedley is a heavy EVE Online player. Unlike EQ, WOW, etc, EVE is a sandbox. If they threw out what was done before and restarted, then I think some of EVEs influences will be seen in EQNext.
The problem with Socialism is Socialism. The problem with Communism is Communism. The problem with Capitalism is Capitalists.
ie - in every system you will have people who game the system to their own ends. Its just in communism and socialism, those who are not in a position to game the system will always be next to serfs while under capitalism, they still have a chance to succeed.

If you want to be modded up, you should always remind slashdotters about the libertarian stance on drugs...
...how's all that hope and change bullshit working out for?
I didn't discover Heinlein until I was in my mid 20's (I'm 42 now). I wish I was exposed to his juvenile works when I was young...
But didn't Bill Gates tell us that we don't need more then 640k?
Didnt you hear?
According to the Washington DC health czar, smoking is now considered a per-existing condition...

Every one of Obama's campaign promises comes with a expiration date...

Of course those protesters are now saying its unpatriotic to disagree with the current president.
Very insightful comments...yet this being Slashdot, expect them to be marked as TROLL -1.
Correction...

Why are talks between us and Russia while China is rapidly increasing their nuclear stockpile?

In the 50's and 60's, discretionary spending accounted for 70% of the federal budget. Now, mandated spending accounts for 70%+ of the fed budget.

Wells Fargo has a history of leading the pack when it comes to nickel and dime'ing their customers. So this is not surprising...

". I haven't been on EVE since 2005, when I spent about a month grinding to get up to the level of a mining barge, have I missed anything since then?"
You have missed everything since. Since you decided to do the most boring thing their is in EVE, I understand why you played only a month.
