I didn't say you were. Nor do you know what my standards are. I was making an observation that people complain only about losing the civil liberties they care about, but stand quiet or even lead the charge against the liberties they dislike or don't care about.
I don't like the PATRIOT act, nor Ashcroft, nor the DMCA either. But I'm also aware that the PATRIOT act was a mismash of pending laws authored by many people (Kerry and Edwards included) slapped together and voted on in the smokey haze of post-911 rage. I can no more blame Bush for it than I can Kerry.
The DMCA, as many people predicted, is starting to lose it's luster. Ivy League educators, radio talk show hosts, buisnesspeople and even lawmakers are starting to see what a quagmire it is, and as long as people keep educating their family members and writing congress, I don't think we'll have to worry about it much longer - depending on who is elected. Don't forget which pocket the most of the media contributes to.
That said I agree with your original statement. In fear our leaders made a poor decision and Americans are paying the price for it. But it's not laws that will destroy this country. It's the absolute insane polarization of the country into two competing camps.
And that's why I'm voting for Bush. Not because I like the guy, nor because he's NRA endorsed (altho that is part of it. Saying Kerry is PRO-GUN is like saying dogs are PRO-CAT) But because in 4 years Bush will be gone. With no incumbent to run, fresh candidates will be available from both partys, and a 3rd party will have real chance again.
And a 3rd party is the _only_ way to keep this country from destroying itself.
Time and time again you hear of battles that leaves one American dead, and 20 or more insurgents killed. Doesn't it strike you as odd that that ratio pretty much carries over when you compare American deaths vs the Iraqi "civilian" casualty count?
Maybe some of those "civilians" arn't so civilian.
You are already afraid. You are destroying yourself. The terrorrists won't bomb you out of existence, but they WILL frighten you into giving away all your civil liberties.
It never fails to amaze me that the liberals who scream about losing thier civil liberties, are also the ones screaming about getting handguns and rifles out of civilian hands.

"You're right, I haven't orgasmed over every little screenshot that's come out. I watched a trailer a few months ago, and I don't remember seeing much about a storyline, just swinging lights, nice mirrors, and bumpmapped zombies. On a space station.
Apparently you didn't watch the trailer. Go to Doom3.com and try again. I haven't tried the leaked alpha, and besides the screenshots on the website and what's been said here on Slashdot, I haven't seen much either. Somehow I was able to figure it out though...
Maybe ID should upgrade the storyline, instead of zombies in a research outpost on Mars, we should run around zapping cynical fools who spout their mouths off without even trying to back their opinions up. (In a space station, of course) --Nikkos
If you've paid attention to the teasers, trailers, and demo movies you might have figured out the storyline for yourself. Or, if you'd played the original, you might have found something similar to the following text in the readme file...
You're a marine, one of Earth's toughest, hardened in combat and trained for action. Three years ago you assaulted a superior officer for ordering his soldiers to fire upon civilians. He and his body cast were shipped to Pearl Harbor, while you were transferred to Mars, home of the Union Aerospace Corporation. The UAC is a multi-planetary conglomerate with radioactive waste facilities on Mars and its two moons, Phobos and Deimos. With no action for fifty million miles, your day consisted of suckin' dust and watchin' restricted flicks in the rec room.
For the last four years the military, UAC's biggest supplier, has used the remote facilities on Phobos and Deimos to conduct various secret projects, including research on inter-dimensional space travel. So far they have been able to open gateways between Phobos and Deimos, throwing a few gadgets into one and watching them come out the other. Recently however, the Gateways have grown dangerously unstable. Military "volunteers" entering them have either disappeared or been stricken with a strange form of insanity-babbling vulgarities, bludgeoning anything that breathes, and finally suffering and untimely death of full body explosion. Matching heads with torsos to send home to the folks became a full-time job. Latest military reports state that the research is suffering a small set-back, but everything is under control.
A few hours ago, Mars received a garbled message from Phobos. "We require immediate military support. Something fraggin' evil is coming out of the Gateways! Computer systems have gone berserk!" The rest was incoherent. Soon Afterwards, Deimos simply vanished from the sky. Since then, attempts to establish contact with either moon have been unsuccessful. You and your buddies, the only combat troop for fifty million miles were sent up pronto to Phobos. You were ordered to secure the perimeter of the base while the rest of the team went inside. For several hours, your radio picked up the sounds of combat: guns firing, men yelling orders, screams, bones cracking, then finally, silence. Seems your buddies are dead. It's Up To You Things aren't looking too good.
You'll never navigate off the planet on your own. Plus, all the heavy weapons have been taken by the assault team leaving you with only a pistol. If only you could get your hands around a plasma rifle or even a shotgun you could take a few down on your way out. Whatever killed your buddies deserves a couple of pellets in the forehead. Securing your helmet, you exit the landing pod. Hopefully you can find more substantial fire power somewhere within the station. As you walk through the main entrance of the base, you hear animal like growls echoing throughout the distant corridors. They know your here. There's no turning back now.
So, what if Doom is upgraded after a few years? Well, along with better graphics, sound, and gameplay, you also have the ability to tell this story in-game, rather than just put it in the readme. All in all a much more immersive experience, and quite a bit more than "Zombies on a Space Station.." --Nikkos
Judging by your meandering two page response to a single comment, you obviously are a Genuine University Professor.
Self-important prick. What the hell does cheating have to do with Andrew Walker? Or the Welfare Queen? Or the WWE?
Maybe you don't understand that people hate Darl because this Microsoft-funded little stunt threatened corporate adoption of Linux and fueled Anti-Linux FUD for close to a year now. This isn't a mistake made in a moment of weakness, this was planned from the beginning.
And, you pompous ass, it is OUR money. Not only is SCO a publicly held corporation, but thousands of people make and spend money selling, supporting, and developing Linux, despite it being Free.
"You can bet somebody would seize the market opportunity that this would present, and the anti TC consortium would sink faster than the Titanic."
And pray tell who would that be? Phoenix makes the bios for almost every major motherboard company in the world. The others (IBM & ?) write thier own. Do you think IBM gives a shit about Microsoft?
There is _nobody_ even close to being able to replace Phoenix. If Phoenix didn't want to do it, it wouldn't happen - period.
And even if someone wanted to replace Phoenix, the amount of time it would take to hire engineers and develop bios chips for the motherboard manufacturers who probably would stick with Phoenix in the first place would push Trusted Computing back 10 years anyway.
Nobody is forcing Phoenix to do anything. Microsoft is paying through the nose for this.
"Why? Because Microsoft has declared that thir next operating system will only run on Trusted Computing hardware and it is flat-out IMPOSSIBLE to sell hardware if it can't run Windows."
This is stupid. If no motherboards adopted trusting computing, it'd be fucking hard to sell Windows.
>...because not only do they pay the 20k, they
> also pay my court costs..
So then people who are injured and despite everything still lose are then forced to pay all the legal bills? How is this fair?
Maybe companies should hire cheaper lawyers.
Funny how you're statement just shows that different people will like different things. Many say FF7 was great, FF8 was alright, and FF9 was the stinker.
Despite all the moaning and groaning and lemming-like "me-toos," somebody will enjoy FFXII. Of course 90% of RPG-ers will buy the game and play it despite the whining - making it a financial success and ensuring a FFXIII.
"..link between gun ownership rates and firearm deaths"
The information on that canadian gun control site was insteresting. I do doubt some of it's figures, countries where military service is manditory seem have an awfully low percengage of guns in households, while I don't know if America truly has guns in 41% of homes. Also of note is the absence of data from third-world countries.
At any rate, of 13 intentional gun death per 100,000 in America, 7 of them are suicides. Now, the question is how many intentional, non-suicidal, deaths are there overall per 100,000? Once you have that number, ask yourself if having no guns at all would really affect that number, or if people would just find new ways to kill eachother.
1. a "remote" planet called Tatooine continually becomes vitally important to the fate of the galaxy, time and time again?"
The idea is that most rebellions and/or anarchists groups are found in remote parts of a country or city (militants in Montana, criminals in seedy warehouse-district bars)
Look at tatooine - it's not a tourist destination, it's a backwater shithole where people depend on collecting morning dew for water, and have barely enough technology to survive. They use pack-animals for cryin out loud.
"2. The same five to ten characters coincidentally reappear, time and time again? C-3PO was actually made by Anakin and just happened to be on the ship that was attacked near Tatooine and end up on Luke's farm? Now Chewbacca is going to show up, as a "coincidence?""
Yep, C-3PO was made by Anakin - most fans knew that by reading the books long before the new series came out.
As for the droids - they just "happened" to be on a _rebel_ ship heading to tattooine looking for old friend and ally Obi-Wan-Kenobi. Didn't you ever wonder why R2 seemed to know where he was going/what he was doing?
Regarding Chewy, in the books it mentions that wookies live a long time (hundreds of years I believe) Chewy is a smuggler, remember from the first movie that he and Han had a history on Tattoine. Or, it could be something else.
Ya also gotta remember that while there are billions of beings, probably only a small percentage have the money/means to travel. (Anakin never would have gotten off the planet without help) that would increase the odds those people meeting eachother.
I believe the Antilles name was dropped somewhere in the first two prequels, so Wedge doesn't have to introduce himself.
It doesn't seem to be much of a suprise that the prequel to a movie about Luke, his mentor Obi-Wan, his pair of droids (who are longtime friends), his grotesquely evil father Darth Vader, and a hot princess who's his sister, would be a story about his parents, where the droids came from/how they met, how obi-wan was trained, and how Darth Vader came to be.
"Everything in Episodes 4-6 indicated that these characters were meeting for the first time, with no prior history"
Yes and No. I'm sure Chewy and Han didn't know Luke. Though greater (lesser?) fanboys could speculate on and on about Chewy keeping quiet/the force or what not. As for the Droids, they seems familier with eachother right off (to me anyway)
As for the first two prequels, I agree that they were not as good as hoped. I'm just arguing that the "plausability" (disregarding spaceships, aliens, etc) hasn't been stretched that far.

The new logo looks very clean and professional. However, I would have liked to see a logo that continued on with the "team" aspect of the old logo.
It's not the name or the flag that makes NetBSD what it is, it's the people behind it. Unfortunatly that's what was taken out of the logo.
