You should be able to vote "None of the above" or call your representative. Would approval voting make running for congress cheaper so less well-endowed groups can have their say?
It's conceivable that we can create a vehicle that can fly, drive on land, crawl up mountains, float on water, and submerge itself in the ocean. Can you possibly imagine nature coming up with something like that?
I'd like to note that nuclear weapons have become much more powerful since then.
From here: On August 6, 1945, a uranium fission bombwas detonated over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The bomb, called "Little Boy" was a "gun-type" device which used an explosive charge to force two sub-critical masses of U-235 together. It was 28 inches in diameter and 120 inches long, a relatively small package to deliver an explosive force of some 20,000 tons of TNT by converting about 1 gram of matter into energy. This could be accomplished with a sphere of U-235 about the size of a baseball. This kind of device had never been tested, in contrast to the plutonium bomb which was dropped on Nagasaki three days later. No device like this has been used since, making the estimates of radiation exposure at Hiroshima very difficult. Casualties included both direct blast victims plus those who died from radiation-induced cancer in subsequent years.
The bomb was triggered to explode at a height of 550 meters (1800 ft), a height calculated to cause the widest area of damage.
In the detonation of the uranium fission bomb over Hiroshima, about 130,000 people were reported killed, injured, or missing. Another 177,000 were made homeless.
The U.S. exploded a 15 megaton fusion bomb on March 1, 1954. It had a fireball 4.8 km in diameter and created a huge characteristic mushroom-shaped cloud. Analysis of the radioactive fallout from this bomb revealed it to be a fission-fusion-fission weapon, a "hydrogen bomb" with an outer sheath of natural uranium to increase the yield.
The God of Freemasonry does not belong to any particular creed. Anyone can join the Freemasons, as long as they are a man of good character and believe in a supreme being. Deism is the belief in a higher being without revelation.
Here is the relevant passage of the Declaration of Independece you linked to: When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
As stated in my previous link, these are hardly the words of a devout Protestant.
A Protestant is: # A member of a Western Christian church whose faith and practice are founded on the principles of the Reformation, especially in the acceptance of the Bible as the sole source of revelation, in justification by faith alone, and in the universal priesthood of all the believers. # A member of a Western Christian church adhering to the theologies of Luther, Calvin, or Zwingli.

If someone paid you to paint a building and didn't care whether you stripped off the old paint first, I guarantee you you would just slap a coat over the old paint.
I think a better analogy would be: "If you paid someone to paint a building, as you trust they will do a better job, I guarantee you you would install an extra hidden door at your discretion."
You're assuming that of the people you are going to market to, who are foolish enough to open fishy attachments and like the song enough to keep it, the majority will boycott the band for some reason.
A great way to consistency is to have free, open guidelines that work. Also, why have many different dialog windows when a single, uniform, drag & drop operation will suffice? *annoyed by the fact that i can't save pages from many sites at once without navigating through a dialog box.*
It knows where you click (mouseDown and mouseUp btw) and what you are holding. That's not a big difference from it knows what you ask and what additional info (parameters) you pass to it.
Piping would be harder to understand in GUI terms though. Hmm.

Like Slashdot just cleared my +1 Interesting to comment 9559308 even though i posted anonymously. >:/
Everyone believes they have rights because they're never violated.
Of course it happens.
Um, i've lost my belief in rights!
The concept of "rights" sounds good because it's never tested.
Court is for poster children.
Not every court gets a poster, some actually do test rights.
It's very easy to show an individual how little right they have to anything.
Aren't SCO and RIAA single entities? (Albeit representing a lot of money.. er, artists.)
As for truely mano-e-mano rights given justice, watch Judge Judy.
Ok, so killing someone is as bad as stealing a pen... Bad Bush! Bad Saddam! Bad Joe Sixpack!!
I have yet to see the concept of rights given justice on an individual basis.
;)
Everyone believes they have rights because they're never violated.
Ok, so spying on, detaining, forcing, and stealing doesn't happen. Certainly not in a country that has shiny great rights.

Then what in the hell is court all about?

Tell that to SCO/RIAA.
The people who are victims are rewarded after death. Don't worry about them.
Righto. Fuck human rights.

Humans.
1984 is about totalitarian regimes. Whether Oceania was really at war with Eurasia (or was it the other way around?) or not.

"This material allows you to see a three-dimensional image," Professor Tachi said.
It was mostly religious, so diversely that one couldn't favor them all.
Atheism and Darwinism did not invent secularism.

No, it wasn't.

All your database are belong to Bush now, too.
*too lazy to give a link* "Total Information Awareness" might come up with something.
Successful, peaceful civilizations always have stagnated at a technological plateau, until either a raiding party or a trade route came their way.
Japan?
Don't coat them with rocket fuel then.
Ain't the universe big enough for all of us?
Well, we're part of the real world, aren't we?
BBQ? In winter?

Twist those knobs! Twist those knobs! You! Pull some levers! Pull some levers!
