You can experience a similar albiet much less intense effect using an FPS game that lets you change the speed of motion (like America's Army or Deus Ex or GTA:VC)
set the motion speed up to a little over double time, and play it for a while untill you become used to it. Then stop playing th egame and go do something, everything will seem to be a little bit slower than you're used to, even though nothing has changed. Kinda fun.
Yes, but there is a difference between machine failure and voter stupidity. If I take a torch to the punch ballot and torch all the candidates except Dean should they count my vote? What if I scribble mickey mouse all over the ballot, but only in the space where Bush's name is listed? Again, machine failure is one thing, voter failure is another.
Can someone please explain to me when this became a land where we had to determine what a voter intended and not what he actualy voted for (or in this case didn't vote for). Ballots are fairly simple things, and most of us learned about them in 4th grade. If you are unable to comprehend how to work a ballot, by law, polling places are supposed to have someone there to explain and assist you. If you don't take advantage of it, that was your choice. Vote right, or don't vote at all, but don't be bitching when your incorrect ballot isn't counted.
A little bit of theme for role play isn't a bad thing, I had some of the ice planet, some of the space and a handful of the robot sets, but even those pieces were mostly adaptable to the other sets. No, most of the sets barely have 3 blocks that you could concieveably add to another set.
Conservative is not nessesarily limiting government spending, at least not to me. It's limiting government spending on stuff that can be covered better by others (like charity and welfare) and on stupid things (like research to tell us people who's parachutes don't open have a high risk of death). I prefer limiting government medling, but space exploration and expendature on global type research and development is a good thing.
1) Yes, the boston tea party could very easily have been considered terorist actions. And it is the responsibility of the government to do everything in it's power to protect it's citizens from such activities. Make no mistake about it, the boston tea party was an illegal activity. The fact that it was benneficial rather than harmful is a different matter and is only decided by history. However, you have to ask, was the boston teaparty attempting to influence via fear?
2) A hungerstrike fails the test. The test for terrorism has to satisfy requirements A AND B AND C. Since you are presumeably a computer savy person, I'm sure you know fullwell that if either condition fails, the whole test fails. A hunger strike fails to satisfy Condition B. Ergo, hunger strike is not terrorism.
Right, under the GPL, you are granted the right to internaly distribute the code without doing anything special or purchasing the software again etc. That doesn't change the fact that internal distribution is still distribution.
If you use proprietary code and you don't distribute it, nothing is forced on you. The GPL licence and proprietary license just happen to force different things on you when you distribute.
It's also IT people thinking far too highly of themselves. Granted you got an education, but I've seen far too many IT people who could lose their job to a highschool kid get paid hundreds of thousands a year to do a simple job. The market won't bear that anymore.
No, it entitles you to nothing. An education simply makes you a more desireable and more valuble asset. But this is capitalism, and no matter how valuble you may be, in theory, it's the real money availible (or the lack of it) that will decide whether or not you get the pay you want. Let's face it, a lot of net admin and similar work could be learned via on the job training for someone with no college degree. The reason someone with a college degree get's more pay is because you are then expected to not need the on the job training and you are expected to produce a higher quality of work in less time. But in the end, if it's cheaper for the comapny to do OTJ training and give more time to solve a problem than it is to hire you, then you don't get the job. That's life, and no college degree will change that.
A) Threats are not the same as endangering someone, the courts have a very clear line about that (which is why you are charged with assault and battery, because assult is just the threat). Neither the act of promoting a black person's right to vote nor the act of going to school is a threat to anyone's life, and it certainly doesn't endanger anyone.
B) It's not if someone views your acts as intimidating, it's ARE they intimidating. Again, court jurisdiction. And intimidating is often hard to prove if someone isn't directly threatening you.
(Perform an act dangerous to human life AND in violation of US law) AND (intimidate or coerce a civilian population OR try to influence the government via intimidation or coersion OR affect government via kidnapping, mass destruction or assasination) AND (be within US jurisdiction)
What aspect of civil rights demonstrations sattisfies that statement?
Ok, granted I only skimed the bill, but could someone please show me where in the Bill authority is granted to seize the records without a warrant and where the definition of a financial institution is expanded?
You just said it yourself, you never change the code of your system but the apps. So what prevents you from doing this in OS X other than the developers choices?

No, it smacks more of the DOD seeing they have a potential avenue of leaks, and they want it plugged.
Look I realize you people hate bush, but not everything that happens in America is his fault.

Apparently you didn't read what I wrote, because I gave specific examples for the exact purpose of avoiding the stupid statements that you just said

Duplos were cool, but if I had to pick another great building toy other than lego, I would have to say bristle blocks were the best.

If it was being spent on the space program, yes. I've been saying for years NASA needs another round of public support and interest.

So?
The orignal complaint was Apple FORCES you to use their wireless hardware. I proved that false.

A) Doing something dangerous to your life does not count, as your are fully aware of the risks you are taking.
B) It may be trying to influence the government but not through intimidation or coercion.
A and B both fail, therefore the test fails

I could swear I didn't, but thanks for letting me know where I spend my money. Can you tell me what my tax return will be this year too?
To be a terrorist, you have to:
(Perform an act dangerous to human life AND in violation of US law) AND (intimidate or coerce a civilian population OR try to influence the government via intimidation or coersion OR affect government via kidnapping, mass destruction or assasination) AND (be within US jurisdiction)
What aspect of civil rights demonstrations sattisfies that statement?
Wrong. Read it again. Slowly.
Ok, granted I only skimed the bill, but could someone please show me where in the Bill authority is granted to seize the records without a warrant and where the definition of a financial institution is expanded?
While I'm no law student it is fairly clearly defined, and was so in PATRIOT ACT I
The relevant sections are here
No, that's distribution as well. It's distributing internaly, but it's still distribution.
Really? The rendering libraries that Apple worked on, as well as the zeroconf work have no user base huh?
You just said it yourself, you never change the code of your system but the apps. So what prevents you from doing this in OS X other than the developers choices?
