Completely agree! What a waste of bandwidth for everyone. Makes me want to cancel the download entirely...not even worth it to download TWO copies of every song (one copy being 10x larger than the other).
Here's the fundamental problem to all of your anecdotes: they involve someone who regrets a past decision. The results of their decision was willingly made publically available. Now they regret their actiona. Two words: tough shit. Everyone has a history, everything must be viewed in context.
Here's an example: presidential candidate was a member of the KKK in his early years, but has since disassociated himself from the klan. Now he wants to make it illegal for the newspaper to publish his old rantings on race.
I don't know about you, but I sure as HELL want the REAL history of people I know/employ/vote for, not some crazy hazy version that they molded themselves. The ability to change history is the ability to lie...and people don't have the right to lie.
Ok, not to be a dick or anything, but you can't say that "fantasy wins 100% of the time this week". I wouldn't classify the following films as "SciFi" or "Fantasy":
Dark Water - Horror Mr. and Mrs. Smith - Action Herbie: Fully Loaded - Comedy/Crap Madagascar - Childrens cartoon Rebound - Sports The Longest Yard - Comedy/Sports Cinderella Man - Drama/Documentary(kinda)
So we can say that 42% are fantasy/scifi, but certainly not "100%":)
"Something like a master click-to-play for the entire page or domain for the duration of the browsing session would be nice..."
You probably know this, since you specifically said 'duration of browsing session', but entire domains can be added through this menu:

If you can use rsync then only the changes are transferred (so after the first big dump additional backups are small). I use a combination of Unison and rsync to maintain files between my laptop and desktop and between my desktop and backup.
In reality, it isn't a "gaseous medium" that imposes the maximum velocity, it's the velocity of the mass the ship is ejecting from its engine(s) that imposes it.
Huh? Maybe my brain is completely fried this morning, but isn't the velocity of the projectile relative to the ship it is attached to (not the surrounding planets/other ships/etc)? So the speed of the projectile limits my acceleration rate, but not my total speed, right?
I'm hoping for the "totally fucking batshit insane"...hell, i'd even settle for "mostly underwear-outside-his-pants insane" or even "somewhat claims-he-invented-the-question-mark insane" ...God knows we don't have enough crazy people.:)

I completely agree. I am one of those lucky amaericans who HAVE been to Cuba (in 2001). While there I kept thinking to myself "This is a beautiful country with very nice people...I dread the day that americans invade and ruin a perfectly good thing." For every nice american travelling, there are at least 3 that act like asses and are ignorant of the culture they are visiting.
Saw these at Star Wars Celebration III - they looked cool and all, but the cases were HUGE! So let's see...waste of money, waste of space...yeah, good luck selling those Alienware.
They don't criticize the Bush people for combining science and politics - they criticize them for removing science from their politics.
"I've been a subscriber to SciAm since SIXTH GRADE"
Dude, seriously. Do you actually read SciAm? Their articles are generally very good at describing the science of political issues.
"discuss the debate and show the evidence"
Did you read the last paragraph? Oh yeah, you complained that it was too political. Now you are saying that you want more policies discussed. Want to see the evidence? Open up one of your recent SciAms and READ AN ARTICLE! They explain it all right there, using a (somewhat) formal scientific style of writing with most of the information coming from peer-reviewed journal articles.
Wow, I really hope you were just doing this for April 1st. If not, then it looks like SciAm just lost a subscriber, but not a reader.
What an interesting story! Could it be possible that the drive has no structure? Couldn't the audio data be directly written from the beginning to the end of the disk sectors without being an actual file?
I would try grabbing the data off of the drive as an image, then "playing" the image as if it were one large audio file.
Did someone else *actually* burn it to a CD and listen...is that even possible? Would it be white noise? What do you need to do to create a track that is recognized as an audio track from pure bits?
I give a flip.
I use it daily for heavy e-mail use. Never crashes, works beautifully with both of my imap accounts. I don't see what you find so undesireable about it - I think it is a slim (getting there at least), well designed e-mail client that puts usability at the top of it's goals. I wouldn't trade it for any other client.
A plague upon BOTH of your houses! Two completely different parties that want the same thing: living peacefully and happily. Yet neither recognizes the good in the other, instead resorting to labeling the other as extreme.
The reference to Gaia and animal skins speaks profoundly of the understanding you have of your opponent - rather, the lack of understanding or acceptance. There are some very good ideas on both sides of this fence - don't dismiss one just because it is unfamilar to you. The desire to drive "big engine" cars eludes me completely. Perhaps it is because I am comfortable with who I am and do not feel the need to attract attention or "respect" with large machinery. I highly doubt most people need to haul around enough stuff to justify owning a large vehicle. Hence the only other reason for owning such a large vehicle is for social purposes.
Wanting to reduce our impact (or change on the planet as you call it) has never involved animal skin or worshiping some Gaia. It involves being responsible (something I hope resonates with ALL republicans since there is seems to be an emphasis on personal accountability within the party, which is a good thing), and being responsible to living responsibly. It is exceptionally greedy and immature of you to imagine the US can maintain our current consumption level of the worlds resources without serious repercussions.
On a side note, here's a brain teaser for you: George Bush was convicted of at least 2 DWI's in his youth and had a somnewhat rough early adulthood. He is now a born again Christian, which is a good thing. BUT he supports the death penalty, essentially saying that others are not able to reform themselves as he has reformed. Hypocritical does not even begin to describe this mentality.

I've checked out the pics attached to the article...so where is this "cute" chick you are referring to?
Yes, because materialism is the way to enlightenment.
Sorry about your penis. Nice SUV, though.

I'm a big fan of the Audio Tag Tool for linux: http://pwp.netcabo.pt/paol/tagtool/ Simple, intuitive, powerful.
Saw these at Star Wars Celebration III - they looked cool and all, but the cases were HUGE!
So let's see...waste of money, waste of space...yeah, good luck selling those Alienware.
Or just go to del.icio.us/tag/xxx (assuming you're not at work) ;)
Perchance I am mistaken, but where are these "amazing" screenshots? Oh that's right, they're in the magazine that I have to buy to view.
So what do I call an article that raves about something that I can only actually see if I pay money? An advertisement.
How about we start labeling this fluff for what it is?
"running a sewer through the playground"
took me a moment to get. funniest joke I have heard in a LONG time! mod this post up!

CLIT
Then I can say things like:
"I am the CLIT master!"
or
"I prefer to use the CLIT - it's faster and more direct."
Spaghetti code anyone?
And this was moded "informative"?!?
