Do you regret adding the 'crunch berry' to your popular formula, just to hype up what was already a perfectly good product? Do you think that such actions will lead to cereal deflation among your territories?
Are you saying that all losers are geeks, or all geeks are losers?
Here's the dictionary definition:
A person regarded as foolish, inept, or clumsy.
A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.
So those are pretty wide definitions, and likely somewhat describes most of the/. community, as well as everquest, and any online activity/community that serves as an escape from society at large due to being seen as inferior, despite their prowess in their respectie fields. Glavin!
More likely there are more deaths that can't be reported, and not to mention the tens of thousands of Iraqis defending their homes with WWII style guns, but who cares about them right?
Saddam wasn't a mass murderer when it came to his own people excluding the Kurds after the first gulf war of course, but then you don't have the facts, and really, neither do I, on how bad he was.
Fox, CNN, NBC etc. are all run by corporations and have a strong conservative bias, which can be proven by the number of conservative 'specialists' they bring on their shows, and thus they don't offend their conservative owners/contributors. Works out nicely for Bush, since he's rarely criticized on TV, unlike Clinton.
What's disturbing to me about this is that there's actually a company called 'News Corp'. Talk about population control *shiver*. I'm stickin' with PBS. At least they consider all things;-)
No, my printer a HP Colorjet680 or something like that, which I paid about $150 for 3 years ago, stills runs fast and clear. If you want a good printer, shell out a few extra buck for the quality.
Yahoo! doesn't need to compete with google here, they just need to realize that most Yahoo! visitors do so for the myriad of other useful communities and services that it offers. They may have started out as a search engine, but they've become something much more. No need to try and go back.
At least they'll be cutting back on flashy ads, regardless.
Corporations by nature, now and then, ruin people's lives completely. This is perfectly legal, and is just as bad as government oppression. A corporation is not just 'a bunch of people trying to make money', once it grows out of it's single building office, it has a responsibility to the community. Corporate responsibility is not profitable, but must be enforced for the public good, or capitalism will fail by nature.
Free market is not so simple, because the major corporations spend a lot of money on ensuring they stay major corporations, by covering up their crimes and mass advertising and building a gazillion stores etc.
This is natural for them to do. But then we cannot hold the people responsible when they are, in effect, largely under control, and in the end to busy and brainwashed to know that, say, Nike uses sweatshops or that GE dumps toxins in the Hudson River because these things are swept under the rug.
So in light of the power of a major corporation, (power which can run the government through lobby, and thereby have access to much greater power), we must ensure that we set proper guidelines to make it profitible for them to be responsible.
The Government's sole responsibility is to protect it's people from things they can't control, from foreign dangers to uncaring corporations.
Have you heard of Shadowrun? It's a fictional world run by corporations. Not a pretty sight.
The problem with Libertarians is that they will save us from the government, and then let corporations destroy us without complaint. There must be checks on both powers. Freedom of people is more important than freedom of business.
Our country is not perfect. We oppress people based on their sexual preferances, which is not a conscious choice. We still have policies that teach creationism, which was proven wrong over a hundred years ago. We dragged arab-americans out of their beds in the middle of the night after 9/11, which is legal under the PATRIOT acts to protect our so called freedom. We spend millions supporting alcohol and tobacco, but lock people up for years for growing marijuana, which is possibly less fatal, and certainly less dangerous to the public good than alcohol. We still use the death penalty, considered barbaric in other parts of the world. I could go on.
Thus, we have a long way to go.
Our culture is a missionary culture. We think it's our job and duty to spread our wonderful beliefs. Terrorists see us as a spreading sickness, because we constantly try and subvert their values with our military might. Therefore, they're willing to die to hinder the death of their culture, perpertrated by ours.
Yes, there are great things about America, but there are also bad things. Why settle for good when we could be working to create the best.
As in any cartoon or Naked Gun movie, any evil machine or device can be defeated simpling by unplugging it. So long as there are power cords, the machines will always be defeated by a clumsy Leslie Neilson.
Unfortunatly, Cooper made the call from a nearby movie theatre during a dramatic scene, thus being not only the first cell phone caller, but the first guy with cell phone to create feelings of distain and loathing from the surrounding populace.

The system would allow internet users to copy music freely and legally,
...in exchange for a flat monthly fee to be shared by artists and record labels.
Finally. That would solve our problems.
Doh!
Please refer to those terms as 'freedomgebra' and 'freedomgorithm', as we must boycott the enemy's culture.
Thank you

We brake for nobody.
Never underestimate the people who will use any event to ram through their agendas while everyone else is too stunned to object.

I call these people republicans
Wife been cheating on you? Annoying stalker on your nerves? Just call in that they have SARS, and let Big Brother control your problems!
Or for a more serious solution, just call in that they're a terrorist, and let the PATRIOT act have it's way!
So many great ways to accuse people and have their rights taken away, yay!
If he's still alive, he's probably in Baghdad waiting for the war to end. It will be interesting to see if he ever posts in his blog again.
ROFLMAO
Here's a unbiased report on the civilian casualties
More likely there are more deaths that can't be reported, and not to mention the tens of thousands of Iraqis defending their homes with WWII style guns, but who cares about them right?

Because we can prove it:
Mmm, propaganda
What liberal media?

I was joking man. I agree with you 100%. I just found some humor in the darkness, so I played it into a office space joke.
They aren't invited to company parties.
This has gone too far! The humanity! Surely the person-to-cake ratio would be sufficient with them included!

I'm glad you brought this up or I was going to. The constitution is much more liberal than those in power, and those under their power, like to admit.
I'm quite happy with the tetris on my cellphone...
If not, they'll just get them from the Republican party on TV.

Well, Harbucks coffee does taste superior to Mr. Tweek's blend.
