In theory I agree with you, about the fair trial at least. Really though, if someone takes credit for murdering over 3 thousand people and brags about it numerous times on video and claims to hopefully slaughter many, many more in the future........can we not presume that he's guilty? How much doubt is there really? As for the rest of your invective I can't say if OBL had a weapon or not. Somehow I doubt that he didn't have one available. Regardless though, I don't really miss the son of a bitch one little bit. To have dragged his ass back to the US and put him on trial would have been such a huge mistake. I can just see him using the trial as a stage for more of his justifying why it's a good thing to kill innocent people for allah. I so agree with President Obama on this one.
Why bother really? If you like OS X for some of the really great software that works so well on it you'd be terribly disappointed trying to run it on such a low power setup. If you just want it for a cheap carry around system linux is perfect, if you just HAVE to be tied to MS then XP would probably be okay. I installed iAtkos S3V2 on my dell a few months back to play with Snow Leopard and while it worked well, really fast on my Core2Duo T4400, I eventually just wiped it and went back to Ubuntu. Frankly I like linux better. On low power systems linux really shines.
The way I look at is if their parent is a citizen they are a citizen. Naturalized citizens are ones who were not "born citizens." Thus people like the Governator who were born as a citizen of another country but later became citizens of the USA can't be President.
Truly only idiots think that anything that they put out on the internet is private. Once it's out there it's available to multiple organizations, legal and illegal. If you don't want anyone to see it, don't give it out.
Maybe you're right about the USA, nothing lasts forever. It's been a hell of a ride though and it ain't quite over yet. I've heard the suicide thing before but I'm not so sure they didn't have help. It hardly matters though. No one really misses his ass any more than Bin Laden and Sad Hussein. Truly it's not an eye for an eye as he can never repay for all his evil. As I said I don't feel happiness over this, just satisfaction that at last the evil son of a bitch is dead.
The birthers have become totally irrelevant. No one listens to them except for the amusement value. They sound more and more like the guys that rant about aliens landing at Roswell.
Amazingly enough, once this aired on the local tv station donations poured in and the family are making the trip. It seems that the robbers did them a favor in a backhanded sort of way. The two dummies that robbed them were picked up soon afterwards and are in jail, probably the safest place for them.
You're absolutely wrong. It is a Republic, a representational government. If you look at the US congress you see the US citizenry. Weak, corrupt, dishonest, self centered, exactly like the people they represent. Don't leave out ignorant and greedy either. I guess you could call it an idiocracy. I looked at the last presidential election with despair. Obama and Biden vs. McCain and Palin. It makes me sick to think about it even now. This is the best either party has to offer us. The best they have. Think on that. Then turn on the TV and watch all the mental drivel that passes for entertainment. People actually watch that stuff. It's depressing.
It's pretty silly for most people, poor or not, to pay such ridiculous prices for what little value that cellular data services provide. I can easily pay what they ask but it galls me to just let someone fuck me like that. I'd rather donate to the red cross or something than some bastard in an ivory tower who manipulates my crooked ass congressman into voting to let him rape my wallet. I've got internet at home and a laptop with wifi for hotspots. Until they get reasonable about prices they can kiss my ass. They can keep their shitty service and I'll keep my money.
I'm not sure how much you think all those govt. employees make but lot's of them make in the 10 to 20 dollar an hour range. Where I live this makes for a living wage but it doesn't make you rich.
Yes, yes, it's all just peachy. As I read more the worse it seems to be. You sound like a PR flunkie for Tepco. Truly the situation is worsening or haven't you been keeping up? The thing is that it's a long way from contained even now. Keep watching.
I find it hard to believe how badly this mess has been handled. It just keeps getting steadily worse with no end in sight. I believe that Chernobyl will be nothing next to this disaster soon.
It doesn't look as if people are bouncing from iPhone to Android but rather from Palm and Microsoft and Blackberry to Android. Apple's numbers flattened out a lot but they still had a slight climb whereas Android seems to be killing RIM, MS and Palm.
Enough of them certainly. Of course many object for moral reasons. Either because they fear the damage that will be caused to society (too late) or because they feel sorry for the victims who fall to addiction. Then there is the purported fact that the CIA actually dabbles in this business in order to pad their black ops budget. Regardless we can't even get relatively harmless Marijuana decriminalized so certainly harder stuff is out of the question.
I gotta say that while Israel isn't guiltless that's a lot like comparing a guy who kills another guy in a bar brawl with a guy who blows up a school full of elementary students. I think I'll pick Israel's side in this one. They aren't perfect but their enemies are perfect....perfectly murderous.
While I personally think Corporations should only have to pay taxes on profits from goods produced overseas, I must agree somewhat with the previous poster. GE paid no federal taxes. None. Nada. Zip. This was in fact mentioned on Fox News as well as CNN and others. It is a fact. Now I'm sure their employees pay taxes and I can't speak to what they pay in State or Local taxes but for federal it was a big zero. Don't know about the tax credit thing however.

I don't know....I think California might let him off.

Hell I'm still playing elite on my c64.

It's obvious that you are a radical moderate.
We didn't sell it, we gave it away. We got absolutely nothing of value in return for it.
The fun part is that Assange is considered a criminal by most of the people he's trying to help. Oh, the irony.

I'm with you on this dude. I'm not really happy about him being dead, it's more a feeling of satisfaction. An ugly job that needed doing.
He got the same due process Hitler got.
He should have waited until 3 months before the election. The American public have a short term memory for achievements.

God knows if the poor actually had access to such things they might not stay poor. (shudder)
