While I fully agree with you, and I don't support the Real ID issue, the issue could be argued as one of interstate commerce (transportation), which the federal government does have control over.
All of those totalitarian regimes didn't allow ANY dissent, didn't allow any other parties (the only legal political party in the Soviet Union was the Communist Party!), and seeing as how the President makes appointments to the executive branch, and seeing as how this commission is made up of appointees from the executive branch, why would any President in his/her right mind appoint somebody that didn't represent their views? The legislative branch is still entact, and still has representation from the Democratic party, which isn't outlawed, and couldn't be outlawed.
And as for the judges, internal polling suggests that only 34% of Senate Republicans support the "nuclear option". That's not exactly a majority, eh?
Since when did it become necessary to protect truckers against pornography????? If anything, we should be handing it to 'em on a silver platter... gotta have some way to keep 'em away on the road!
High on the list of features are security enhancements
Wow! Security enhancements... that counts as a feature now? Last time I checked, Mac OS X was pretty secure and didn't need enhancements.

What do you mean? Everything is Bush's fault. The Pope's death? Must've been Dubya. The liberal city of San Francisco regulating blogs? Definitely George W. The delay of Windows Longhorn? Its gotta be the Bush administration!
The first thing I noticed was the comment about Hillary Clinton joining the right wing on her opinions about video games. Huh? Since when has the right been complaining about violence in video games? Last time I heard, Joe Liberman and Tipper Gore were the ones complaining about violence in video games, not George W and Tom DeLay.
Actually, an excellent idea would be to get your Poli Sci degree, and then you could work for an organization lobbying Congress on technological issues.
Can't the authors of MAME use the defense of "prior art" when they are sued by this company, and invalidate the trademark? Or does that just apply to patent law?
I remember way back in the day, when I was just a little tyke subscribing to Nintendo Power, they mentioned a college in British Columbia called the DigiPen Institute of Technology, who's ONLY focus is video game development. In fact, I believe the only thing you can major in is a B.S. in "Game Development". They've been in the field considerably longer than USC's game development school.
Last time somebody did this...

You know, the last time somebody gutted a Mac and put a PC motherboard in it, and had the gall to post it to Slashdot... I believe that person was lynched, if I'm not mistaken.
Yes, a cop beating up another person is a criminal. Perhaps you are dyslexic? I said the "actual" criminals... the robbers, the murderers, etc... not the poor bums that are caught on tape beating up Rodney King.
Why are people more concerned with cop beatings, which are relatively rare, than criminals using this technology??? Stop being sissys and address the real problem with this technology - people committing crimes using this to block their identity.
Does anybody read executive orders? Apparently NOT

You obviously haven't even read the text of that 2001 Executive Order because you're too busy with your head shoved up that ass full of Democratic rhetoric.
In your comment, you suggested that if a group, college, or organization is receiving federal funding of ANY kind for ANY kind of research, they cannot do embryonic stem cell research unless they want to lose their federal funding. BZZZZT!!! Wrong.
From that same page I linked you to:
No federal funds will be used for: (1) the derivation or use of stem cell lines derived from newly destroyed embryos; (2) the creation of any human embryos for research purposes; or (3) the cloning of human embryos for any purpose. Today's decision relates only to the use of federal funds for research on existing stem cell lines derived in accordance with the criteria set forth above.
In other words, federal funds cannot be used for embryonic stem cell research (with the exception of the 60 stem cell lines that had already existed as of 2001). No need to repost your comment because the "right-wing" modded you down... you were modded down because you were WRONG.
As a resident of the state of Louisiana, I can tell you that there has NEVER been cell service on most of I-49... which is mostly just forested area. I can remember driving my sister to college back in the mid-90s (when my dad had a humongous cell phone w/ a battery pack)... there wasn't service back then, and there still isn't service now.
I learned a great little trick from a letter to the editor in 2600 Magazine once.... if somebody's being a loud blabbermouth on their cell phone, just listen to everything they say... specifically listen for personal information. When (if) they get off the phone, repeat all of their personal information back to them. Tell the loud blabbermouth everything about themselves.... and watch them get scared and freaked out.
I've done in on more than one occasion - works great.

Last time I checked, that was the voters' decision....

Note, I said the Accelerator. QEMU works just fine on OS X... but the accelerator only works on x86.
It should be noted that the Accelerator only works with x86 computers. It will not work on SPARC or PPC.

This may no longer be true if Apple releases the rumored $499 headless iMac at Macworld in January....
Maybe I should preview from now on... like this.
Actually, the reason they more likely had in mind was incidents like this.

I don't know about that. From what I've heard in the news, muslims are being treated very badly in most European countries right now.
