Off Topic, but I stopped reading after you talked about the terrorists having stock in Apple. That would be one bitchin' internet meme. Somebody less lazy than me should write up a chain spam email about that subject.
If that email spread far and wide, would APPL stock be dumped like an ugly girlfriend or gain on the stock market even faster due to unscrupulous Wall Street movie-type sharks jumping on a hot trend?
... I make a point of writing to a different company asking for Linux support once a week.
I'm very very persistent. Ask the wife (second baby already on the way). Yeah... but do your babies have Linux support yet?
This just shows that many people within politics feel that it is just another game to be hacked/cracked.
Regardless of party affiliation, if this allegation is true it is too bad. He probably did a lot less damage to society as a Warez group leader then he could )at least theoretically) do while gaming the system as head of a political party.

I second this. They are amazing books and are the only comic books to win a pulitzer.
I am no blogger (though I am posting here through only a thin facade of anonymity). However I do feel there is a very large difference between revealing information about yourself that you choose to reveal and having information about yourself unwillingly disseminated to unknown parties.
Just because you talk freely about some parts of your life, does that mean the whole of it should be fair game?
If you do not actively protect a patent, does that invalidate it? I thought that as the patent holder, it was up to you to make sure that nobody else was using the same idea and that if you didn't pursue restrictions on its use then it expired.
At the homeless level of poverty taking reliable birth control is a bit unpractical and a bit unreasonable to take away the one human joy we come equipped with...
If that isn't an argument for universal health care and prescription coverage, I don't know what is.
While I think you should need a license to have children (in a perfect world where birth control was 100% effective and non-consensual sex and/or rape just plain didn't happen), I am not saying the poor shouldn't be able to have kids. There are plenty of bad parents out there at all income brackets.
Internet addiction is just as much a medical condition as alcoholism is. Or heroin Addiction. Or prescription pill addiction. And so on.
I don't know if I completely agree with alcoholism being a medical condition, but I think at the base there is something about addiction in general that sometimes can be explained by biological makeup.
Just because 64% of the characters are female doesn't mean the people playing them are in real life. Like the old joke about IRC goes - The men are men, the women are men, and the children are FBI agents.
The following is a list of CD's that I haven't bought in the last few years because (at least here in Canada) they are copy protected CD's.
Chemical Brothers: The Singles Double CD
Chemical Brothers: Push the Button
Fatboy Slim: Palookaville
K-OS: Joyfull Rebellion
Massive Attack: 100th Window
Massive Attack: Danny the Dog Soundtrack
A Perfect Circle: Emotive
A Perfect Circle: Thirteen Steps
Radiohead: Hail to the Theif
Royksopp: The Understanding
That is just off the top of my head. There may be more. I know I could probably circumvent the protection with a sharpie, but I prefer to not pay for something that is essentially a broken CD.
The irony of it is at 15-20 $CDN a disc, the record companies have not only helped me choose to not give them a few hundred bucks but also managed to give me more reason to "pirate" that music all with one idiotic move.
So what is it they are really trying to protect here? My wallet?
I think we should rid ourselves of the religious right.
What, you're going to call up 80 million Americans and tell them they have to leave? Suppose they won't go?
If only there was a backwoods, uncharted savage land that they could colonize. Then they could form their own country from scratch and be left alone by the rest of us heathens that persecute them so...
This is the real name of the track, which is off the Go soundtrack (check Amazon if you don't believe me): Magic Carpet Ride [Steir's Mix] - Philip Steir
Nobody seems to have gotten this right yet. My guess is they are looking at the.mp3 they downloaded and it is attributed to Fatboy Slim or the Crystal Method.
That is the annoying side of downloading copyrighted tracks in my opinion. Sometimes you don't even know which artist you are stealing from, leaving them even more poor and impoverished (/sarcasm).
I'd say the biggest problem they have with it is the fact that THERE ARE NO COMMERCIALS in downloaded TV shows. They are taken out to save space on the download and save time viewing. That kind of screws with the making money through advertising scheme...
"Science can not prove God exists.
Science can not disprove God.
therefore, Science can only help explain what he created, and how it works."
I can't believe that comment was modded up. It takes less of a leap of faith for me to believe in the correlation between stealing underpants and profit. Why would god automagically exist due to Science not being able to prove his/her/whatevers existence?
I am an athiest, and I essentially believe in Shit Happens. Therefore:
Science cannot prove Shit Happens exists.
Science cannot disprove Shit Happens.
therefore, Science can only help explain why it happens, and how it works.
Call me crazy, but I think the USA should be united behind finding out exactly what the flaws in the voting system as it exists there now ARE. Bush probably did win fairly. I think the larger issue is that the entire e-voting system (and perhaps the electoral system itself?) has some major bugs to work out.
Call me crazy, or call me Canadian. I just think it is important to have fair, democratic elections in which it is easy to read the paper trail. I don't know if the country I live in has a better system or simpler elections, but it sure seems a lot less convoluted from my standpoint.
News flash: What other people consider great "music" may not be considered great "music" by you! I get annoyed with other people's tastes as well, but come on. Is it no longer music if there is a swear in it?
I would rather decide what I hear for myself than have a store censor things and decide for me. I guess that is why I don't buy cds at Wal Mart.

My money would be on the latter.

Thank you for the correction.
Am I wrong?

I am guessing that higher rate of gun violence are due to the lack of gun control in the US, rather than higher urban population.

Man that was a fun game.
Here is some information on the artist: http://www.greenartman.com/supervisors_steir.html

People laughed at me when I said I was buying the game for the articles. Well who is laughing now?
