ever heard of the Iran-Iraq war? That's at least a million dead in a war infused with religious rhetoric. If you include governments in your argument, the death toll numbers don't stack favorably to your side.
Yes, on one side we had the Ayatollahs, on the other we had Ronald Reagan with his sidekick Saddam Hussein, all very good with religious rhetoric.
It wasn't religious fundamentalists who protested Mel Gibson's film before they saw it.
So is your claim is that Judaism isn't a religion, that those Jews who protested saw the film before they protested or that the protestors were actually non-fundamentalist Jews?
Being plonked by the guy who thinks the Battle of the Karbala Gap was proof that Saddam was dangerous instead of a minor nuisance. Wow. Why are you not scared of Hussein's former enemies, who killed far more GIs than the republican guards? Because they are part of democratic Iraq?
And the fact that you keep supporting the next Saddam right now is what exactly? Or the same old dictators still? It's called "making a bigger mess."
And not attacking Saddam was bad, killing thousands of innocent Iraqis was. Esp. killing dozens of innocent Iraqis while trying to kill Saddam who wasn't anywhere close despite so called "intelligence" claiming otherwise.
And where the hell were you when I first spoke out against Hussein? Cheering for Ronny Raygun, likely.
It is only a war when the US enters and calls it. That's why what everybody else calls the "Gulf War" doesn't count, only the one after the invasion of Kuwait.
The question is: if Saddam Hussein was so dangerous, why was he such a push-over in the invasion?
And why the hell did the US support him for decades, even when he mass-murdered his people? The answer to that is because he also mass-murdered Iranians.
From Financial Times Deutschland (March 11th) original article in German - (imagine a Google translation link here, the URL refuses to work when posted here).
This article claims that Apple stopped Motorola from showing the phones. An article on Heise News even claims journalists were kept from making photos of the empty space where the phones were supposed to be presented.
Yeah, just like any other company that sues others who produce stuff that tries hard to look like their products, but is just a crummy knock-off. Too bad for the copiers if the originator has a trademark or trade dress on the design.
HELLO, if you bothered to read the parent, you'd notice the fact that Apple doesn't even sell any hardware based on POWER. So your "bet" would be a losing one.
Yeah, sure, if we use your dumbass definition of "or" or the parents misinterpretation of the contest's title as a basis. In the real world however, Apple sells more G5s than all other makers combined sell G5s or (sorry, I forgott your dumbass definition, make that "plus") POWER based computers.
In case somebody wonders about the Apple comments: this appeared in the Apple section yesterday (with an Apple G4 icon IIRC), but was moved to developers.slashdot.org. Which clears up another confusion: this is not a dupe.
Given that dozens have been released because they had nothing against them - even after months of "special treatment" - makes me doubt that all of those still there are terrorists.

Then this hack's for you ;-)
All iPods but the Shuffle play AIFFs.

Hell, if the most of the same guys wouldn't cheer for every execution, I could live with them. But they only value life when it suits them.
There is a difference between prejudice and judgement based on action.
So is your claim is that Judaism isn't a religion, that those Jews who protested saw the film before they protested or that the protestors were actually non-fundamentalist Jews?
Even if your slightly paranoid fears came true, it's not like those fingerprint readers can't be easily fooled.
And I thought making a black hole was space-time consuming.

Which in most cases results in them leaving them because "He's not he man I fell in love with".

Yeah, blame your fucked-up "police action" in Vietnam on the UN.

Yeah, it seems odd that pretending that somebody gets an electric shock is unethical, but actually doing it is patriotic.
Duh, the homeopathic remedies have to know they are supposed to work, by receiving the brain-wave imprint in addition to the molecule imprint.

Yes, it's not. That was the 2004 contest, this is the 2005 contest. Which you can easily tell by the prices to be won.

RTFA: "Linux running on the PPC architecture". I bet most people running Linux on PPC or POWER run it on Apple hardware.
