The claim is that there is secret classified evidence they could show and prove that warrantless wiretaps are necessary. So they can't show it to the public. We'll have to see.
In 1986, a pregnant Irishwoman named Anne Murphy attempted to smuggle three pounds of explosives onto an El Al jetliner bound from London to Tel Aviv.
In 1962, in the first-ever successful sabotage of a commercial jet, a Continental Airlines 707 was blown up with dynamite over Missouri by Thomas Doty, a 34-year-old American passenger, as part of an insurance scam.
In 1994, Auburn Calloway, an off-duty FedEx employee and resident of Memphis, Tenn. nearly succeeded in skyjacking a DC-10 and crashing it into the Federal Express Corp. headquarters.
In 1974, Samuel Byck, an unemployed tire salesman from Philadelphia, stormed a Delta Air Lines DC-9 at Baltimore-Washington Airport, intending to crash it into the White House, and shot both pilots.
Racial profiling does not work. Ask the NYPD, they stopped black people far more often, yet arrested white people twice as often as a result.
You may laugh, but NASA did do it before. During the final Apollo missions, they allowed the (abandoned) lunar module to crash into the moon in order to test seismic readings on the instruments left behind.
You wouldn't have to pay a property tax since you don't need the fire department to protect it from burning up, nor the police to keep it from being trespassed on or burglarized, nor do you need it cataloged in county maps or on record at the Department of the Interior.
It's the same reason there's no property tax on Second Life land (shhh, don't give politicians ideas)
You are kidding me. Cuba is the pharmaceutical capital of South America, using cutting edge technology to research some new drugs. Where's your source?
While the oil is owned by whoever bought the rights, the revenue is not being evenly distributed. ONe of the US benchmarks for the 2007 "surge" was that Iraq would pass oil-revenue sharing legislation, which didn't happen. The Kurds are trying to negotiate deals with oil companies, while the Iraq federal government is saying those deals are illegal. The Sunnis are being or will be dirt poor, since the oil is in the Kurdish north and Shiite south, and a federalist system would make them poorer.
The prior art here is in the novel "The Shockwave Rider" (which is also where the term 'worm' originates), where he built his own worms to erase his data and identity from the net, and even make his own good worms to stop black hat hackers.
So, in your mind, a "religion of peace" would never have criminals eh? Even Buddhism has murderers. The way you judge a religion is not by that example, but what the religion thinks of it; Islam condemns murder as a sin.
Islam is a modern religion; based on the principles of fiqh (legal reasoning) and ijtihad (modern adaptation). It's less dogmatic than Christianity, and you have modern scholars like Tariq Ramadan and Hamza Yusuf who are showing that it condemns violence and has a contemporary message for mankind. It's too bad you don't take the effort to look for real Muslims, I'm guessing you only see the "bad Muslims" on the news and take it as if that's it. You're suffering from availibity heuristics, do you think airplanes are unsafe because you only hear about ones that crash?
Hirshi Ali is a bad example, and you're quoting an ex-Muslim (who lied about her history and was deported) as a source for Islam? Give me a break, I can name many Muslim men and women who are more qualified to speak for Islam
Nice way to yank things out of context. The quotation you pulled out is actually part of a longer text, which said that while it's mandatory for men to go to the mosque for the weekly Jummah prayers, women aren't required because of their burden of taking care of young children. So rather than have them abandon their children weekly, they were given the same amount of blessing as men by staying at home and caring for said children. Don't misread it; women go to mosques just as men do; islam is practical in this regard for its exemptions.
Besides, why are you judging a religion, any religion, by what its extremists do? Should I judge Christianity by the actions of Eric Rudolph, or Bush?Why should I judge Islam by the actions of those it shuns? Why are you, lgw, judging Islam by what a Saudi dictator does? I guess you didn't see the worldwide Muslim outcry against them? It's better to judge Islam by what its scholars interpret it as, and what it's actual books say, than by what some claimed king does.
Let me give you some advice d3ac0n. They're turning to the true Islam, not that of terrorists. Have you ever been in a mosque? It's a peaceful and relaxing place. These people find inner peace and work on their internal struggles, not really bothering others. Do Muslims go door to door trying to convert people? No they don't. Quit going on false stereotypes.
American Muslims are good and decent people. There's millions of them in America, and they're more educated than the average American. Don't compare them to dictatorships overseas. It's just as unfair to compare Christianity and American Christians to the narcoterrorists (also Christian) in South America.
Quicktime IS backwards compatible with itself. I even was able to run the old quicktime 1.0 player and view files created with it in the new Quicktime 7
Sounds like you should be mad at Sony for Apple's update breaking their poorly-designed inconsistent system
"Tumors in or near the eye, for instance, can be eradicated by protons without destroying vision or irradiating the brain. " Doesn't radiation cause cataracts? Radiologists today wear shielded goggles to prevent that now.
I think the worry is that wikipedia will turn into a kind of Myspace if they do that, people start making pages about their neighbors and writing their own fiction and slandering one another and ranting and such. Wikipedia already has enough riffraff as it is, but that would open the floodgates. Meanwhile, quality would bottom out and it would lose what little credibility it has (or deserves IMO)
I think Apple really figured that part out, but I think you already said that. The color iMacs (blue dalmation and floral print) were something you could put in the living room. Also, they had asthetics in mind when they built the Twentieth Anniversary Mac and replaced it with the G4 Cube.

Can you give examples of baptist Ministers pronouncing death sentences?
Sure, Southern Baptist Pat Robertson called for the assassination of Hugo Chavez, and said Ariel Sharon's stroke was God's punishment.
Can you name any baptist terrorist organizations?
If the KKK has Baptists (certainly not Catholics judging by its history), does it count?
No it isn't labeled like that. Do you have a photo as proof?

Who is approving these 'religionofpeace' tags? They're not relevant to a lot of the stories, and I don't see a tag mocking christianity...

Easy, you're flat-out wrong.

"Christians aren't trying to militarily solve the issue of religious oppression."
The Lord's Resistance Army would disagree with you...as would people like Timothy McVeigh and arguably Seung-Hui Cho.

If the majority was silent or ambivalent, you would have had a point. Fortunately, Muslims HAVE done condemned terrorism.
Muslims Condemn Terrorist Acts
CAIR Condemns suicide bombing
Scholars of Islam condemn 9/11
American Muslims conduct anti-terror campaigns (600,000 petition signatures)

You mean it's not forwards compatible. That's not that big a surprise, h.264 is somewhat recent

IIRC, Bogie Lowenstein was the guy in "10 Things I Hate About You" that threw parties, perhaps involuntarily.
Both the CIA and TorrentSpy are in the wrong here for their actions, and should be punished accordingly.
