  1. Re:Karma on Dr. Dre to pay $1.5 mil for "Illegal Sample" · · Score: 1

    tzzzzz wrong!

    Bennet wanted to hung Clinton because he was an "inmoral" person. Plus Bennet wrote books on "virtue, morality, etc.". Now he has a gambling problem, his excuse: "well I did not write about it." Clinton's sexual exploits were dealt as a matter of national attention by the Repugs, the same group that has had his share of "indiscretions" hell most of them are few times divorcees (heck even Newt had his wife sign the divorce papers while in the hospital for Breast cancer, as he prepared to engage to his assistant... 20 years his junior!!!). Now Bennet claims that this matter is between him and his wife... Same goes for W's twins or Jeb's daughter, heck they can do crack and get away with it.. because that is a family matter and eveyone should be off their case. Heck but they had no problem calling Chelsea the WH dog.... do you want me to continue?

    Right-nuts double standards come from some of the following facts: If a Democratic president makes ANY thing, it is bad, terrible and immoral. If a Republican makes the same or worse mistake: it is a "youthful" indiscretion.

    Did Clinton dress in a military Uniform while president? No. In fact no American president has done that before, neither Washington, neither Grant, not even Ike. This is from a person who served in the national guard and can not present proof nor whitnesses about his last year of service. AWOL is for 1 month or less, any more than that is called dessertion. This is from the same people who were on Clinton's case for having escaped the draft. Heck when Cheney was asked about his reason not to go into the military was that he had "other priorities". So if Cheney does it, it is OK of course! He had "other priorities"... but if Clinton does it: How can he lead our troops when he did not serve in the military?

    And on... and on... and on.. and on...

    ".. the US is at war and suffered a major bombing attack"

    At war with who? A war on "Terror"? So we are waging war against a concept now? The sad irony is that the majority of Americans bought into that.

    "Freedom is much higher today then it was during the war..."

    During the WWII (in 1945) the US carried out an election. During which the Republicans openly critiziced FDR, they even went as far as slander the 1st lady (Eleanor) by labeling her "US's first lesbian president." Try to say the same of Laura Bush nowadays in public, and lets see what happens. Yeah we are more free, as long as you agree with the president... then you are "free" to agree all that you want.

    "We have a freepress,"

    We have a press that has been reduced to a few (less than 5) corporations owning 90% of the press that you get. All of those corportations are main Republican supporters, with the extreme case of News Corp (Fox's parent corporation) being one (if not the most) main Bush's campaign contributors.

    "open and fair elections,"

    LOL.. that was a good one. How come we still have not investigated why 500,000 African American voters where disenfranchised in Florida. How come repugs are pushing for more and more electronic voting machines, installed by companies whose CEOs are mostly linked with Republicans... and they are not required to even release the source code for those applications?

    "the right to conduct public demonstrations"

    As long as you are supporting Bush, if you are a dissenter you have to demonstrate in the so called "free speech zones", clearly you have not gone to a demostration lately. And oh, yeah... remind those people in Oackland that got hit by wooden bullets by the police....

    "Has the mass media become less challenging of the administration? "

    Well yeah! Where are Enron papers? Where are the secret meetings that Dick Chenney conducted? Where is dubyas AWOL for 1 year from his national guard post investigation? What about the state of the economy? Where is the 9/11 investigation? The anthrax attacks? Why have we gone to war because WMD but not a single WMD has been found so far? And on.. and on... and on...

    Helen Thomas dared asking an "unconfortable" question and he was banished to the back of the room. This is the same lady that for over 40 years has been sitting at the front of the white house press conferences.

    Have you ever seen dubya give a non-orchestrated press conference. Or an in promptu Q&A session w/o any clue cards?

    Oh, well if the denial makes you sleep better at night... go for it.

    Hum... I thought that it was the PERQ the first machine to meet this challenge. I think the 3M challenge was put forward by CMU, and Three Rivers (the group that produced the PERQ) was made mostly of people from CMU. The 3M challenge was supposed to portray what workstations would be like by the mid 80s, I think the Alto was the main inspiration for the PERQ though....

    The 3M challenge asked for a network of distributed workstations, each of which should be able to process 1MIPs, hold 1MB of RAM, and display at least 1Mpixels. CMU scientist guessed that networks of such machines would mean the end of timesharing by the mid/late 80's.

    Heh, we haven't even won the war yet... and our boys are risking their lives over there. So what do you think that the American political elite should be doing? That is right, they need to spend their energy and our money deciding which cell phone standard should Iraq get!

    Here is a radical thought: Since we are pretending that we care sooo much about the poor opressed Iraqui people, and we're are about to "liberate" them. Why don't we let them choose? Of course this war is not about oil, is not about economic kickbacks, it is not about anything but the interest of the Iraqui people... right? So there you go, now Iraquis can employ their new found freedom and democracy, and they can start by debating and deciding what cell phone standard they want to implement, to replace their old cell phone infraestructure graciously destroyed by the Americans...

    Oh, and just a little advice: Before planning the reconstruction of a country after a war. You must make first sure that you have won the war. I am pretty sure that the Iraquis are thrilled to be "liberated" by us, afterall they are literally "dying" to get on the bandwagon of prosperous
