Actually, not true. Airlines are a "different" regionality. Just like you regionality in your DVD player. The studios create edited versions just for airlines, but won't sell them outside that market. Even if there is demand (which has been expressed in the same areas that like to use these services) they dont' want to for reasons that are a different issue altogether. The important part here is the lengths they go to to not allow people who would want to watch even *the movie companies* edited versions to see them.
They distinctly are forcing a specific type of content to different parts of the world. You'll note that in region 0 (including USA) always includes the most graphic violence/sex/etc that these customers are trying to avoid. They are technologically blocked from avoiding it, and even accessing already published content. When a company tries offering exactly that service, they are sued out of existence.
Models - The classic ones that are near impossible to find anymore. Not the dump snap in ones either. I remember sitting as a kid in a closed room with that glue.... uhh. where was I? Anyways, your kid wants a toy plane or something, get them a model set so they can build one. It's even more fun. Then they can paint it, canniblize parts to build cooler things, and then blow them up when they become teenagers.

I agree, I also think he did the think most likely to help his party in the next few elections. I think a lot of people got very upset at the lawsuits last time. Doing the right thing will show much better when they try recliaming house and senate seats the next couple of years.
They realize the same thing that most places had been describing since around 1 or 2 am Eastern time. That kerry would have to take 7 out of 8 of the provisional and absentee ballots to get enough of an edge to go into a forced recount (0.25% margin) with any lead at all. Statistically impossible.
Considering her net worth is estimated at over one billion dollars, $4 million sure isnt' that much.
Heck, my last years charitable donations were higher than her taxes in terms of percentage.
Yes, all those quotes do apply very well to how well you've shut out any form of reasonable thought. You are obviously so locked into your way of thinking, and self-righteousness, that anything else *must* be some form of close minded neo-con redneck. Glad to see where your blinders point you
"he doesn't actually claim anything;"
The way he presents and edits the footage is a way of making a claim. Manipulating the viewer to reach a certain conclusion. Nazi's made immense use of this method.
"some very innocent questions".
Targeted, not innocent.
"plain truth:"
If it's plain truth as you say, then why does he label it as a comedy? Because that's the only way he can escape getting nailed with lawsuits.
"Trust. That's a pet peeve of mine."
You claim that Bush is a liar, and yet you take everything Moore says as fact. You've just decided who you *want* to believe. Not what might actually have truth.
Considering the fact that I don't fall under your categories, what generalization can you make up for me?
You can vote for certain local judges, but not the supreme court, appelate courts, etc. These are appointments of the executive branch, approved by the legislative.
"The secret service prevents the media from interviewing Michael Moore. For what reason - security? The secret service ushers him out of the convention - for security?"
The guy shows up in the middle of a speech, to a group of people he is known to hate, and you expect them to roll out the red carpet? Of course they escort him. And no, they didn't prevent the media from interviewing him, or just 'usher him out'. That's typical Moore spin. They didn't want people interviewing him because he walked in in the middle of McCain's speech. Then he left early (by his own choice) so they escorted him back out.
"Go watch Fahrenheit 9/11 again."
No thanks, I'd rather keep my lunch down. The amount of outright lies, beyond the pure spin is amazing.
'The Republicans really are dangerous and anti-democratic; the Democrats aren't.'
Uh, yeah... right. And I'm sure you have serious proof as to how anybody not of your opinion is trying hard to squash poor little you.
The poster was pointing out how hypocritical this group was in claiming that they somehow had a superior right to publish this data. Their little mantra would be decried if ti was anyone but themselves.
Read some of the coverage. Some things are more simple, like have people blocking hotel entrances, or event locations. Other things get more personal, like groups waiting at places like restraunts or theaters and trying to fight with attendees. Some have gotten worse. One police detective was put in the hospital.
I don't care what party you are with. That's just wrong. Protesting is an important right, but protesting doesnt' mean you can do things like that. Yes, stand and voice your concerns, but getting into fights, or attempting to get in the face of any and every attendee is just a annoying.
"Republicans in charge of all three branches of government"
You're joking, right? First, the judicial branch. That should be enough, despite how hard certain politicians try and make it partisan (filibustering any nomination from an opposing party is just dirty), it should be separate.
As for the legislature, the numbers are close, and always switching around. And besides, look at the number that actually vote purely on party (a bad stance anyways). Claiming any party actually owns is a joke.
Executive. So the Republicans are in right now. The democrats were in last time. It switches around a lot, and if you for some reason think there is a massive conspiracy keeping any single party in power, you really need a dose of reality.
Actually, most of the people around here are against SCO. Like you describe, most people detest the tactics they have used, because like the other 'mormon traits' you described (and rather well I'd say), most mormons detest litigation.
Also, look at Novell. Most people here love Novell, because most everybody here has a relative working there. Now they now that Novell is against SCO, and so they should be too. Believe me, SCO does not have many friends here.
Actually, they are specifically trying not to be WMD's. They are trying to localize it as much as possible. Consider it a sniper vs the old ICBM's massive destruction. Take out what matters, and avoid hurting others.
They are trying to develop more efficient weapons.
So is this a tool to make it 'easier' for companies to purchase more hardware more often? Currently a lot of companies won't purchase new hardware nearly as often as software, because the hardare must be amortized on IRS tax tables, that frankly suck if you need current hardware. If it takes 5 years to write off your server, most companies don't want a new server for 5 years.
But now if you dont' have to do that, a large, or even small company is more likely to go to a subscription model, where they are promised newere hardware at better increments. They've already been trained by Microsoft and Sun that software is really expensive, so it's easy for them to swallow a high priced subscription, who has the hardware factored into it.
Now, will the IRS start requiring companies to amortize software costs? This would probalby be a great asset to Free software recognition IMHO. Of course, it would be difficult for Microsoft, who's EULA doesn't allow for the software to be considered an 'asset'. (heck, remember bluelight being nailed for trying to include the asset value of their licenses when they were sold?).
Some do, but BYU is a little bit of a different case, as they are a Private U, not state. They do run filters on their own net services.
As for the protestor above the bottom pic, that's nothing, you should see the amazing things people say that the LDS church does. Walking in SLC during the conference time is amazing, I've been charged with being everything form a murderer to the devil incarnate for being a member of the LDS church.
Because he claims (in private) that his works are 'commentaries', and works of opinion. This of course is not a documentary then, but it's loose enough to not be considered libel/slander (depending on books or videos).
Sure he still passes them off as factual documentaries to his fanboy population, but hey, that sells better.
Several posters have already described what the critique is getting at, so I won't review that. The point I bring is that this kid could be the Johnny in Oingo Boingo's "Just a Lad"..
They are making the point this kid would have caused a similar problem with anything, and besides all, the gun was *illegal*. How can you use him as a fight against gun laws? He sure didn't care how strict they were.
Actually, besides the already helpful OO.org developers, Novell has recently announced at brainshare that they will be giving full support for OO. From developers, to sales and user support. Not just for the linux part, but full OO support. Not a bad thing to have for those just getting into open source, or companies that need the assurances.

Because they know any non-tech discussion will always turn to the Bush/American conspiracy to destroy everything with their oppresive ego's. And that's always worth a few laughs.
Looks like they are already pointing some fingers according to this article it's the open-source hackers who want this.
Didio said. "With the open source community, there are a large percentage of tinkers and 'ankle biters' who are trying their hand at hacking. Some are even communicating with each other. So it only takes one or two of these groups sharing information to be able to pull something off. When you have this type of passion, it's hard to fight because these people are like virtual suicide car bombers."

Interesting point. By the counts, 43% of kerry's voters were only voting for him because he was the most likely alternative.
In contrast, only 13% were voting for bush as the likely alternative to kerry.
So that says more people really did want bush than kerry.
I agree, I also think he did the think most likely to help his party in the next few elections. I think a lot of people got very upset at the lawsuits last time. Doing the right thing will show much better when they try recliaming house and senate seats the next couple of years.

Darl, Baystar,
That's what happens when you get your security developers from the Cue::Cat Development team. Wasnt' their 'encryption' just XOR or something similar?
