"What seems strange to me about this is that getting thousands of letters a year is the same as getting e-mails, just in a different form."
Emails are distracting because they arrive through your main work implement: your computer. Mailboxes are easily ignored except for once-a-day checking & sorting.
People who are serious about getting things done keep their email clients closed, turn off auto-notification, and check their email at set times.
"Kenneth Star spent upwards to $50 Million dollars investigating Clinton and all he could show at the end of it was that Billy lied about getting a blow job."
Mr Starr spent less than $40 million. That is roughly 8 million less than the Iran Contra scandal which dragged on for six years and resulted in only 3 convictions upheld.
Mr Starr's investigation resulted in 15 convictions or guilty pleas.
AK Gov. Jim Guy Tucker 3 counts of fraud felony convictions (Tucker resigned facing impeachment)
Neal Ainley - 2 misdemeanors for embezzlement
Jim McDougal convicted on 18 counts of fraud and conspiracy felony
Susan McDougal convicted on 4 counts of felony (pardoned during Clinton's last minute pardonfest)
William J. Marks Sr - conspiracy
Stephen Smith - conspiracy
Larry Kuca - Fraud
David Hale - guilty plea conspiracy
Chris Wade - felony - Whitewater real-estate investor
John Haley - fraud
Robert Palmer - felony for conspiracy
Charles Matthews - guilty plea for bribery
Eugene Fitzhugh - Whitewater - bribery
Webster Hubbell - #2 ranking Justice Dept. Official - felony for embezzlement and fraud
Will someone please explain how NO LESS THAN NINETEEN STATES are doing something so obviously unconstitutional and no one is calling them on it ?????????

"Touch one hair on her head and I'll render you limb from limb!"
Shakespeare did use subject material from other writers as well as his own. Copying subject material is not plagiarism, neither does Shakespeare's genius lie in his subject matter.
Shakespeare's genius was that he had a "music" all his own. He could craft a sentence with devastating effect. He was a wordsmith. This was what saved him from being a crappy playwright. Other people can say the same things, but their music is not the same.

Any word on when 2.0 will finally make it out of beta? Like it was supposed to in March or April or May?
Actually it would be more like giving Whistler's Mother a facelift.

The commenters on Paul's site are even more juvenile than we are.
You know, it could still be really cool and quite inexpensive...
...if they made it something like this!
plus explosions of course.
oh yes.

good for you, but GIMP is widely acclaimed as a useability disaster.
Actually, in many more ways it was a movie about a god venturing incarnate into the world.
"Do you believe in the users?"
"Of course! I mean, if there are no users, then...who wrote me?"
The oh-so transparent metaphors of atheism versus belief in a higher power are draped all over the movie.
Yeah, love the 'guilty until proven innocent' approach here.
"Your honor, I plead not guilty."
"Objection! Assumes facts not yet in evidence!!"
To the degree that there is room for politics in the science community, there is room for flying chunks of crap.

So who whacked whose nest first?
Holy crap! Did the phrase "Y2K" mean nothing to these people?!?
"Think: cold-war"
Just curious...was the outcome of the cold-war unsatisfactory in your opinion?
"The difference is now we're dealing as much with corporate entities as with foreign cultures."
Actually, that's not exactly new either.

You call that music?
