The first amendment denies the *government* the ability to pass laws restricting religeous practice. It in no way prevents others from discriminating on religeous grounds.
The consitution provides means for installing and removing presidents (Article II). The second amendment is not a licence for assasination.

Exposure. You can't have really bright objects and really dim objects show up on the same photo. ...Unless you're taking a photo of Bush shaking hands with Stephen Hawking:-)
"...there are significant counterexamples: Scotland has had until recently first-past-the-post and similar systems but has seen the development of several significant competing political parties. Canada and India have multiple regional parties."
and
"...strong regional parties can distort matters, leading to more than two parties nationwide, even if there are only two parties competitive in any single district."
I find it sad that you consider it fortunate that no new parties can develop. The fundamental principle of democracy is choice, but you seem to want the choices limited.
I think OSX would do quite well on the open market. There are plenty of techs who are fed up with the spyware and security issues of Windows, who feel that linux is not quite ready for the masses, and would recommend OSX. There would certainly be a much larger quantity of hardware manufacturer support than there is for Linux.
It works great. Zooming and panning are quick (although buttons for NE, NW, SE, and SW panning would be nice). The map is large. Unfortunately, it currently covers only Canada and US. However, it is still in beta, so this may be rectified by the time it goes live.
I'm not arguing that it's right or wrong, but I'd just like to raise the point that Vigilantes appoint themselves. They are not chosen by "the people".
Oh, and by the way, Batman is not super-normal. He is just highly trained, highly motivated, and very rich 'ordinary bloke'. No radioactive spider bites, not from another planet, nothing. (Sorry, bit of a pet peeve of mine, this calling Batman a superhero.)
My boss had a keychain finder that beeped when you wistled. He also had a Compaq Luggable (this was back in the 80's). When the luggable powered up, it would beep. The powerup beep was at just the right frequency to set off the keychain finder. This, of course, led to the eventual "hide the keychain and watch the boss go crazy trying to find it" game. I hid it in the drawer, under the keyboard, beneath the machine, etc. One day I opened up the machine and taped the keychain to the underside of the lid. It drove him nuts.
Both the encryption and decryption algorithms are public. The word "Public" in Public Key Encryption refers to the keys, not the algorithm. One could rephrase it: "Encryption using Public Keys".
The problem with "Security Through Obscurity" is that the decryption algorithm is secret. Once the algorithm is known, any message can be decrypted. Both the sender, and the receiver need to know the secret algorithm, and need to trust each other to not reveal it.
In other encryption techniques, such as Public Key Encryption, the decryption algorithm is public. The algorithm works like a box with two keyholes. One keyhole locks the box, the other unlocks it. Each person selects two keys, one is public, the other is private. If the sender wants to send a message, she locks the box with the receiver's public key. Once locked, the box can only be opened with the receiver's private key. If the Larry decides to leak his private key, it doesn't compromise the security of messages sent to other people. Heather can still send messages to Jim, using his public key, confident that the messages will remain private because they are encrypted with Jim's public key, not Larry's.

You're obviously not dead yet, so what makes you believe that you've been lied to?
Blue on black is not very readable. One might even say that those links "lead into darkness".

I think he was calling for a ban on research involving human cloning, not cloning in general.
Yes, he does talk funny. His speech synthesizer gives him an American accent.

No, the Slashdot crowd would be content with sending robotic cameras.
Coal is a fossil fuel as well, and has been an industrial commodity since the fifth century. That's 1500 years of fossil fuel use, not 75. (See here)
We can't make fun of it anymore.
A whole bunch of Slashdotters seem to disagree with you.
Thanks for the tips. Silly me for not trying those things.

Lousy lazy posters! Always forcing me to copy/paste/edit. Shoot 'em all!

It is illegal because Google does not own the trademark "Ford".
So what if I come up with a shoe that is better than Nike's, cheaper, and isn't made in a sweatshop?
Exactly! So What! Regardless of how true the ads are, they are capitalizing on Nike's success, on Nike's advertising dollar.
If Google is selling that capability, then Google is the one infringing on the trademark.

That's awefully freakin' close!
Stenography is another word for shorthand.
