The question isn't whether it's wrong to sue ANYONE you have a grievance with, the question is if it's right to sue EVERYONE who you only POSSIBLY have a grievance with.
It's like the difference between suing a neighbor who shoots your dog, and suing a neighbor who owns a gun which might result in him someday shooting your dog.
Yeah, but Defense creates jobs for those who've bothered to get a college degree and social security/medicare keeps your granny from becoming Soylent Green.
Well, I mean, if an ISP has a strict privacy policy and feels the need to protect their consumers, they could maintain Bandwidth Usage and Dial-up location data, without maintaining logs of who goes where or anything that a good majority of people wouldn't want the government or the RIAA looking at. Last thing I want is my ISP to turn over my browsing history to the FBI.
So, you're arguing that democrats recieved less money from a corrupt organization and acted on the behalf of the corrupt organization less often, therefore, Democrats are not corrupt?
Democrats? Republicans? It's the same fucking party. Either vote third party, or get used to the big government cock in your throat.
Actually, noone has proven with facts that a single person at Gitmo or locked up as a result of 9/11 was actually a citizen. Most of those locked up were non-citizens in violation of immigration laws. While I don't agree with them being indefinately locked up, I think it's disingenuous to act like these guys were the "boys next door", when they were people in long-term violation of a nation's sovereignty.
The best view I've ever seen of native japanese typing was in Battle Royale. I saw some guys hacking with a QWERTY-size keyboard, and they were typing pretty fast.
I am still baffled as to why people bought into the PS2 hype so much - the DC had plenty of quality games by the time Sony's console launched, and it was months before it had its own high quality game.
Here's the thing, though. I recognize that DC had great titles, but the "killer app" for PS2 was the backward compatability to a system that had dominated much of the market prior to its upgrade release. If Saturn hadn't been killed by Bernie "Can't find his ass with both hands" Stolar, and if third party support was fostered for Saturn...and perhaps, if DC had backward compat with Saturn, DC coulda been a contenda.
I love my Saturn and I love my DC. I also love my PS2 and my PC! (I'm a poet and I don't know it!
Windows DOESN'T WANT MORE WINDOWS USERS? In order to run windows on a Mac, you have to buy the license to run the Windows, even with VPC-style emulation.
This is a load of status-quo crap that Microsoft wants to cram down the throats of those of us who like the Mac platform.
I reserve the right to run computer OS's and programs at slow speeds.
If you have a several year old computer, it's time to buy a new one. That's the nature of consumer products. Even automobiles (to many degrees) are like that.
The concept of a disposable computer is really something that only exists in the rich nerd world. Us poor nerds still run our Pentium 100's with Red Hat and pray that it doesn't crash when we try to run Konqueror and Mail at the same time. (I have an Athlon 1.2 Ghz that's about 3 years old. I have 512 MB RAM, GeForce4, and two hard drives. I've simply kept adding stuff on after the initial purchase. I did the same things with my Macs. However, a 3-year-old Beige G3 Mac can't run the latest Mac operating system while my 3-year old Athlon runs it slick as shit)
Your legacy Macs still work, do they not????
Well, if something fucked up comes up and my Legacy mac spits out a code that says exactly WTF is wrong, I'd like to call up Apple and be able to at least ask them what the code means, let alone ask how to fix it.
I think your pretty safe buying a new make right now.
Unless Mac OS XI is for G5's only, and I buy a dual G4.
Supposedly, it seems to be insisting that Apple is ANNOUNCING that indeed, there is a plan to make these things ASAP. Not that June 23rd you can buy some at your local Apple Store.
That's a Steve Jobs thing. In forcing every Mac fanatic off the Legacy Units (Anything before the iMac), he's basically shafted a good amount of his consumer market: the Mac Cult.
Of course, he really never did respect the Mac Cult, and was known to insult it repeatedly back when he was pimping the NeXTStation.
Basically, he made my systems un-upgradeable, incapable of running new software. It used to be that any computer that had an '040 could run any OS from 7.0-8.2, which is several years of revision. Then they bumped the requirement to a PPC for 8.5 and 9, which didn't bother me, because I had bought a 9600 around that time. Then, they cranked out the iMac and the G3's and G4's and said "You know what? Fuck you, too." I mean, you get a similar thing in Windows, but XP CAN run on a computer made several years ago, and runs on a ton of computers. OS X only runs on a very narrow slate of computers (even some G3's and iMacs are literally prevented by the Installer from installing. The Beige-box G3's could probably handle OS X better than the translucent G3's, because some had massive capacity for memory. The only difference is USB, which for many people, is no biggie.
I'm gonna hold off for a while before I buy a new Mac.
Another thing that pisses me off is that when I bought my macs, I had a promise from Apple that said that I could call 1-800-SOS-APPL and get free phone tech support. Now, unless you write a strongly worded letter bordering on threatening a lawsuit, they don't wanna hear shit about a "Legacy" mac ("Oh, you have one of THOSE machines...Hmph, please take your riff-raff elsewhere. We don't like your kind here." is the sense I get from them).
I think you're confusing libertarian socialists (AKA: Anarchists) with libertarian capitalists (AKA: Libertarian party). Libertarian capitalists believe in laws, government and all that. We just don't believe it's everyones responsibility to support those who choose not to work and that people should be allowed to do what they choose as long as it does not cause harm upon another. Libertarian socialists dislike any form of authority and despise anything that seems like a hierarchaic system.

If anything, they charge more for the "cost of nostalgia". I want my Elvis "Promised Land" MP3, bitches!
Tell it, brotha! Fight the power!

Either that, or criminals will still be making Saturday Night Specials in the basements of crackhouses.
The guy who signed the DMCA into law is somehow comparable to this. Get your head out of his crotch.
Enron contributed to democrats. And most of their really bad shit was done during Clinton's watch? Remember the summer of 2000's rolling blackouts?

They thought that BEFORE Bush, trust me. Stereotypes don't come into existence overnight.
Totally. I've actually seen the Alto. It's a monstrous beast compared to the original Mac.
And yes, Xerox did excellently on those shares. I think the Alto was the only development at Xerox which actually turned a 200% ROI.
How about, "The President said today that God is dead, confirming Nietzsche" Yeah, right. Like Bush could pronounce Nietzsche.
And thank god for that...unless it DOES end up like DemoMan, and all we get are fruity lookin' nacho chips...

Yes, it will run ... POORLY.

Poor Moderator. It's okay. In english, That was supposed to be modded as "funny". Perhaps it was a mouse mis-click. Perhaps you should get a Mac?

If the laptop is in your car, and you get up to 88 MPH, will you be forced to go back in time to October 21, 1985?
That's a stereotypical view of anarchism, I suggest you do some reading and drop the stuff school feeds you.
