Really, people, I'm all for removal of Bush and the neocons, but what are we going to do? Hope to get them replaced with Democrat neocons like Pelosi? Please, this is all silly. There's no hope for America.
Really, I don't want to be a flamebaiter here because I know all of you love Firefly so much, but I thought Serenity was not that good of a film. Sadly enough I really considered Episode 3 to be a better movie.
I feel like music in general (At least in the rock world) has degraded to such utter crap that we're lucky to even get one good song. People get to where they only buy an album because they used to love the band, I hear all the time people sort of wishing they wouldn't have wasted 20 bucks on an album and there's not any good songs on it, or maybe just 1.
If the government wasn't known for saving big business we wouldn't be having this problem. Laissez faire is needed, then these companies will either learn to compete or die, they will have no ability to use force for this gay crap.
I have sat in front of a CRT for 12 years and my eyesight has, if anything, gotten better. I use an LCD now, but I have never had "eye strain" from sitting at a computer for 12+ hours in a day or anything.
Isn't Funcom making Age of Conan? It's supposed to be pretty much the greatest MMORPG ever from what I can tell. Of course, most MMORPGs try to look like they'll be the greatest ever, and since SWG pulled the wool over all our eyes I guess we can believe anything.
I've never worked for a game company, but I hear that all they do is work overtime. I think that the gaming industry has some enormous problems in the management hierarchy and that is where the problems come (leading to game delays, etc etc).
Once again you are ignorant of economics and guilty of a logical fallacy, correlation implies causation "Cum hoc ergo propter hoc"
Scandinavian countries have thrived because they are still largely capitalist. Britain, Germany, France and the United States are all largely capitalist, but they all have restrictions that hinder their economic growth.
By the way, if you think that no restrictions = automatic free pass to an excellent economy (if you think that is my logic, rather), that is absurd and ignorant as well. Britain had few restrictions from 1066-1800 and they sure weren't much better than Somalia during that time. Capitalism does not start until a people have saved money, such as the British did, or had foreign investment help to bring up their standard of living, such as what the (gasp) British did in many many parts of the world that would still be dirt poor today.
Apparently, sir, you have no fundamental understanding of capitalism whatsoever. While I disagree with many tenants of the "right" and lean far more libertarian (Think more "classic liberal"), it is not the same thing. They understand respect, privacy, work ethic and rights of the individual as opposed to the collective, like the idiot leftists think.
Leftist policies will only lead to socialism, which does not work.
If you want the standard of living in a country to rise, you allow economic freedom to the max. That is how America got where we are today, not the great good Government stepping in, ever.
AMEN. The New Deal was not the last of the Constitution though. Alien and Sedition Acts were bad, as were many other things, but the death of the Constitution was in 1913, when Congress took away its own power to coin money and gave it to a private bank, as well as the introduction of the income tax and the end of Senators being elected by states. The only reason we have it so good now is because of our wariness of tyranny and the great age of capitalism, but that will all end when the right tyrant comes along.
I hate to say it but only in the non-Democrat arena of "liberals" have I ever run into liberals who care to explain their position. I know many, many conservatives who are kneejerk reactionaries too but the Democrats have no logical arguments in place 95.6% of the time, all they do is call conservatives racist and Nazis.
I, for one, am not a conservative and disagree on many issues, I'm a libertarian full-heartedly, and I get called the same things because I believe in unrestricted capitalism.
How many times are we going to have slashdot posts about the death of the dreamcast before it finally dies? I predict at least 2 more by the end of this year.
I think that even if they were to jump ahead, in the long run the development here would lag behind and even out, thus equating to what it would be if Moore's law had been followed exactly.
"For a people who are free and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security. It is, therefore, incumbent on us at every meeting [of Congress] to revise the condition of the militia and to ask ourselves if it is prepared to repel a powerful enemy at every point of our territories exposed to invasion... Congress alone have power to produce a uniform state of preparation in this great organ of defense. The interests which they so deeply feel in their own and their country's security will present this as among the most important objects of their deliberation."
--Thomas Jefferson: 8th Annual Message, 1808. ME 3:482
"None but an armed nation can dispense with a standing army. To keep ours armed and disciplined is therefore at all times important." --Thomas Jefferson, 1803.
"It is more a subject of joy [than of regret] that we have so few of the desperate characters which compose modern regular armies. But it proves more forcibly the necessity of obliging every citizen to be a soldier; this was the case with the Greeks and Romans and must be that of every free State. Where there is no oppression there can be no pauper hirelings." --Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 1813.
"A well-disciplined militia, our best reliance in peace and for the first moments of war till regulars may relieve them, I deem [one of] the essential principles of our Government, and consequently [one of] those which ought to shape its administration."
--Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural, 1801.
"[The] governor [is] constitutionally the commander of the militia of the State, that is to say, of every man in it able to bear arms." --Thomas Jefferson to A. L. C. Destutt de Tracy, 1811.
"Uncertain as we must ever be of the particular point in our circumference where an enemy may choose to invade us, the only force which can be ready at every point and competent to oppose them, is the body of neighboring citizens as formed into a militia. On these, collected from the parts most convenient, in numbers proportioned to the invading foe, it is best to rely, not only to meet the first attack, but if it threatens to be permanent, to maintain the defence until regulars may be engaged to relieve them."
--Thomas Jefferson: 1st Annual Message, 1801. ME 3:334
I am all for whoever wants to research this can, I just believe it is unconstitutional to do so.
I don't see venture capitalists going into this so apparently there's not much profit to be made off of stem cell research yet.
Let the market do its work (It is always the best idea), if stem cell research can cure us, it will be done.

Absolutely nothing.

how's it coming wiping your butt with one piece of paper?

We also have Huntsville, where all of our nice NASA research goes on.

Green cards? what?
Doctrine of Nullification should have always existed. The national government should not be able to force a state to bow to its every whim.

Erm, asking for examples is absolutely retarded. Do you really want me to dig up links on forums and message boards for you?

So is Duke Nukem Forever now synonymous with "Never"?

You ruined Star Wars Galaxies for 300,000 people. None of them trust you anymore, backstabber.

If anyone remembers the Screen Savers on TechTv, I believe Yoshi's "Yoshibox" was exactly what you are looking for.
If it isn't stated that it is allowed by the Constitution, then it is prohibited. Read the 10th Amendment.
