One thing that always inspired me to try to play a perfect game of Pitfall was the music. Nice and cheery and adventurous, until you died. Then it got depressing and never got cheery again.
Are you blind, or simply illiterate? The parent poster said that the US could become a leader in promoting human rights and democracy instead of propping up banana-republic dictators. That sounds like a pretty damn clear plan to me.
The US system. I've got a theory that there's an official Coin Flipping Office in Ottawa that determines whether we'll follow the US or the UK's lead in various matters.
Hey, nice of you to get both my nationality and my gun views totally wrong in your rush to jump to conclusions. I happen to agree with your Second Amendment entirely. The problem is a few morons who don't know how to lock guns away from their kids.
And as for being European, try somewhere a little closer to home.
I actually pray that the DHS will be nothing more than a bloated beaurocracy, as inefficient and stupid as its' cousin agencies. The more mistakes that are made, the less effective they are at interfering with citizen's lives. In other words, I fear Heinrich Himmler more than I fear Colonel Klink.
(My apologies for invoking Godwin's Law, but that's been done often enough in this article anyway.)
Not charged with anything except joining terrorist orgs, supporting tyrannical regimes, and attempting to kill American, Canadian, English, etc. troops.
I think you mean that they weren't charged with the horrible crime of getting scared and shooting back from their farmhouses whenever a few hundred soldiers charged over a nearby hill, shooting everything in sight.
Also, way to go on killing more innocents in Afganistan than died on Sept. 11! That will truely cement freedom for the people of Afganistan
And in an astonishing coincedence the oil company that employed Dick Cheney will now have a more friendly government to deal with there when they build their stalled pipeline! Everyone wins! Except for those filthy foreigners who dared to defend their country from invasion, of course.
If this takes off, what will happen to all the people like the background characters, costume makers, construction, caterers, cameramen, model makers, casting companies, etc.
The same thing that happened to all the cobblers, blacksmiths and buggy-whip makers.
Particles have the same mass as their corresponding antiparticle.

Walmart franchise computers are controlled from the mainframe cluster at the Home Office. I think that's in Huntsville, Alabama, but it's been a while since I worked for that evil company. I could be wrong.
I do know that it's a pain in the ass when Home Office turns off all the store systems on sundays during christmas season, because it thinks that the store is closed.
Regarding physical security to the store server, it was usually quite good. Only one door in, and that was almost always locked. Any non-manager, non-accounting personnel had to be escorted by a manager anytime they were there. I don't know if that's just a quirk of that store, or if it's corporate policy. All I know is that I like a fulltime job in a small business (nice little camera shop) a hell of a lot better than being a Walmart electronics monkey.:)
You've just answered your own question, even though you haven't thought things out to their logical conclusion. A private company tends to have an owner/owners who understand (well, more than a shareholder, anyway) how things are actually going in the company. The managers don't have the ownership screaming at them to cut costs (such as customer tech support, employee benefits, etc) every time the NASDAQ drops a hundredth of a percent. I've worked in both kinds of companies, and I kept my eyes open.
Newsflash: The American Way is a crock of shit. It's a Bad Thing. It doesn't work. Tu comprende? It destroys lives, and turns citizens into serfs, trying to make just enough money to send their yearly tithe to the monarch and not starve.
And the stock market is a crock of shit too. "Duty to shareholders". Fuck that. I'd rather buy from private companies, utterly dependant on pleasing their customers, without the useless distraction of some arbitrary share price.
If you wanted to install machine guns on your Playstation, yeah, that would probably violate a whole host of local laws. But we're not talking about machine guns. We're talking about mod chips, and you're setting up strawman arguments.

The question, of course, being which evil empire you'd rather support less.

Yeah. And he should take Sheila "Long Live The Cable And Satellite Monopolies" Copps with him. I can wait to see her out of public office for good.
Ah, just like in Scorched Earth. If the enemy tank is shielded, you don't hit it with a nuke. You drop a nuke right next to it.
So don't put these copyrighted mp3s in shared directories. Duh.
Okay, hands up everyone who checked to see if this was a goatse.cx redirect.

It's a pity JFK was going to die anyway. At least Dillinger got the chance to screw with the AISB.
As a non-videophile who can't afford a $5000 widescreen TV, I find having to use manual pan-and-scan offensive. Long live non-widescreen releases!
The DMCA is an unethical law. There's nothing morally wrong with disobeying it. Or are you saying all laws must be obeyed, no matter how evil?
(Trying hard to refrain from invoking Godwin's law here.)

Alas, his father and Slick Willy didn't last too long. It seems that presidents don't survive long without spacesuits.
So, does apt-get use checksums and gpg signatures these days? Or are there thousands of debian machines out there just begging to be owned?

This is an odd article to see after a marathon battlenet session.

Maybe someone could hack something using the GBA compactflash adaptor, the link cable and VNC?
Yeah, thanks to that fucking bitch of a Heritage Minister, Sheila Copps, and her crusade to protect Canadian content from eeeeeeeeeevil US media.
Thanks, Sheila! What's next? Forbidding me from reading foreign books just 'cause they weren't written by Margaret fucking Atwood?
Fuck the CRTC, and fuck CanCon. I stopped reading Canadian authors and I stopped watching Canadian TV because of this.
(And yes, I really am Canadian. All hail Prime Minister Jean Poutine.)

In conclusion, shut the fuck up.
Thank you.
