If a government is at the very least protecting its citizens, then it has no reason to exist. Why the fuck would you invent an institution which had the purpose of staying out of the way? That's got to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
jhoger already provided some clarity to the mud your throwing around here like an idiot, but please do restrain yourself in the future. The US is indeed a democracy. Why do you think we're invading countries halfway around the world and encouraging them to install democratic governments?
A democracy and a republic are not mutually exclusive. In fact, a republic requires democracy to exist. Shit, I never took even a simple civics course after I got out of high school and I understand that. What the hell is wrong with you people?
This is eXactly what/. needs, redundant book reviews from slightly different points of view! Kudos, Sarusa! If I see 3 more reviews of this book here by the end of the week, I'll subscribe!
And if you amortize the cost of digging and filling millions of holes in the desert as the development costs of doing business in the creation of jetpacks, flying cars, and robot maids with sardonic demeanors, it comes out that you're an idiot!
Nothing you mentioned came from the manned space program. A couple of things have been benefited by unmanned space vehicles, ie satellites.
I think the devices we use to access both our private and publicly available data will eventually be integrated physically into our bodies. The data itself will reside elsewhere, and will be accessable through some kind of wireless protocol.
You are a cheap bastard. For fucks sake, it costs at least 50 cents to listen to a song on a jukebox, and you only get to listen to it once! This way, you own the song forever. You can make copies for your different devices, share 'em with your friends if you want, and you can buy whole albums for $9.99, which is a bargain compared to the cost of CDs. Plus, the artists aren't getting screwed.
Get in your car. Turn the key. Drive around. Then, call you insurnce agent and cancel your insurance. Get in your car. Turn the key. Drive around. Cool how that works, ain't it?
Sure it makes sense. It also makes sense that if you have a car I like, I should just take it, right?
If they want they want to maintain the greatest market share, maybe they should compete in the market, not in the courts. I suppose you like getting screwed, though, Fishbu.

But will your batteries outlast Neal Stephenson's next book?
You can already get a Wal-Mart credit card.
I recommend that you don't. It's repetitive, dull, and insults the intelligence of the viewer.
You seem awfully sure of yourself, there, bub. It may just be that On Earth = On Any Old Wet Rock.

Months? You must be new here...

Well, if you're not buying that album on audiophile grade vinyl your a bit of a wanker anyway, aren't you? ;)
The try previewing the tracks, you stupid cocksucker.

Yes, that would be us.
You have a link to a study or are you talking out of your ass?
And why does the buck call? Maybe because people are willing to pay a premium in a place where they can live decent lives?

Damn, I knew I should have posted this as an AC...
No. I'm saying that neither yourself nor torpor can be logicians. Unless you're joking, in which case you can be a sardonic logician.
No, you're not necessarily a criminal. But you're certainly no logician either.

++wrong != right; #unless Microsoft does it, then you can't criticize.

If they're outside the scope of the disaster, they're probably too far away to help.
If there's a disaaster and you need to use a generator to power your Ham radio, there won't be any interference anymore anyway.
