I doubt they were all that worried about the gun control laws, either, considering that a) most of them didn't own guns prior to the laws and b) a pistol doesn't do much to a Panzer tank or a Stuka dive bomber.
The armed citizenry exists to provide regulation of the militia, by being able to take up arms against the militia should they run amok.
No, the armed citizenry is the militia. Perhaps you're confusing "militia" with "army".
The same applies to the police... how many incidents of frustrated cops going on shooting sprees would we have if they didn't fear that some nearby civilian might have a handgun and intervene?
Are you kidding?
Australia and Europe have almost no guns, yet they don't have psycho cops killing everyone, either.
Same thing goes for, say, NYC, where concealed carry is (IIRC) illegal.
For some real second amendment fun, folks should check out http://www.jpfo.org the guys who had the temerity to place the 1968 Gun Control Act next to a translation of pre-WW2 Nazi-era gun control laws, and let folks see the similarities for themselves.
I'm sure if you put pre-WW2 Nazi-era tax laws next to American tax laws they'd be quite similar too. What's the point?
Yes, because 9mm handguns are going to do wonderful things against Abrams battle tanks.
Civilian gun ownership does nothing against tyrranical regimes nowadays - look at Afghanistan, Iraq, most of Africa, etc. Guns are everywhere, and so are dictators.
Plus, there's that whole "A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state" part of the Amendment most people gloss over...
Isn't it entirely possible that Word 2003 does generate cleaner code, but the Frontpage 2003 clean-up feature is for Word HTML generated with older versions of Word?
The GPL does not require your software to be free to download. It just requires you to include the source code along with the compiled binaries if you do provide the software to someone for free or for money.
Of coruse, anyone who pays for it can subsequently give out the code for free, should they choose to do so.
That's one security fuckup away from free ebooks for everybody.
No, it's just a list of the words in the book. They're not going to have all of the thousands of instances of "a" and "the" in each book indexed - they'll index a word once per book.
Nobody said the words were in order of appearance, either.

I'm willing to bet it's significantly less than 800 megabytes each, unless they're taking full-length video of interviews at immigration.

Political lobbyists have to, you know... lobby politicians?
Hell, if censoring one side of a debate is lobbying, then the NCI site (and the Bush Administration) is guilty of doing the same thing for surpressing research disproving the purported breast cancer abortion link.

HELLO! It's MY computer and Symantec can't do whatever they damn well please with it.
I seem to have missed the mandatory Symantec installation program. Will the government come and put me in Guantanamo Bay?
Uh, their stance is that the 2nd Amendment doesn't grant universal gun ownership - as seen in the post you're quoting..
The ACLU probably doesn't wish to defend what it considers imaginary rights.
Not defending the NRA doesn't show the ACLU to be pushing a left-wing agenda any more than them not defending peoples' right to murder would.
Are you an idiot, or just trying to be funny?
Ethopian refugees are counted in the "total number of people in the world", yet they probably don't own a hard drive.
Most of the large web communities are - they're easy targets.
eBay gets 'em a lot, I've seen some exceedingly slick ones.
Will you hire me? ;-)
Thanks. :-)

So Mozilla Composer now has integrated remote file management, eh?
Where can I download this new version?
At least it's an attractive interface, as opposed to Real's jumble'o'buttons...
Plus, Apple hasn't been caught raping customers up the ass like Real has.
Have you read the comments most people post on these things, anyway? They're even more asinine than the weblogs themselves...
Says the guy posting a comment on a weblog...
Yes - I've done searches for the terms being spamvertised in my blog and they're usually in the top 5.

Uh, I never said it wasn't possible. I just noted that you can't really call it a "trend" with a single data point.
Hell, I'd like to see Apple win the market so I can switch to OSX and still use all my favorite programs.
I just don't think it's gonna happen yet.
Of course, WinXP and Win2000 probably used similarly huge amounts of memory when they were in alpha testing, too.
How can you call it a market "trend" when it's the first time in a decade that it has happened?
Hint: a trend has more than one data point.
