  2. Background of the hot dog story on Bush, Kerry, and Nader Respond to Youth Voter Questions · · Score: 2, Interesting

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q= nader+%22hot+dogs%22+ingredients+cancer Apparently Nader did research into the ingredients of hot dogs and discovered some/many of them were carcinogenic. It seems not unreasonable to me that if a product that many Americans consumed contained a substantial amount of carcinogens, that would be of national interest.

    Not paying them while also not doing those things is also an option, but that also means not listening to their music except perhaps on the radio.

  5. Re:Next stop: Thousands of lawsuits against John D on Supreme Court Rejects RIAA Appeal · · Score: 1

    You must have missed the "or more" and "total". If you had posted using an account instead of as anonymous coward, you could have looked at a list of your postings and seen there was a response to this one.

    Copyright infringment is stealing rolls off the tongue much better than breaking copyright is stealing. Nobody except you says 'breaking copyright' anyways...

    No, they can't charge what they want. It always reaches a point where the alternative to paying them what they try to charge is worth more than accepting their charge.

    No, but where's the fun in that?

  9. Re:great! on Supreme Court Rejects RIAA Appeal · · Score: 1

    Why isn't civil disobedience committing the crime and then hiding? On the other hand, if people are going to work, then people should work for free, unless they have a pre-arranged agreement to work for money. I don't hear people complaining about interns working for free. IP is like someone digging a swimming hole on public land and then demanding payment for it.

    Based on your nickname you must have a nasty habit of that happening to you.

    But how many people in India and Pakistan are in fact British English speakers? Speakers of some form of creole don't count.

  17. Re:they have those stations in germany on Hydrogen Vehicle Generates Its Own Fuel · · Score: 2, Informative

    Maybe, but since we're puuling the numbers to demonstrate that something is in fact the solution out of thin air, perhaps one of these is actually the solution: http://peswiki.com/index.php/Top10

    I think that George W. Bush did think that the intellegence was correct. It all depends on whether you think incompetence or greed was the main factor here.

  20. Re:Bush-speak... on Bush Campaign Offices Burglarized · · Score: 1

    The strange thing about Britons is that they think they're the rest of the world. when compared with the U.S.

    But seriously, does anyone have any statistics on what countries use American English and what countries use British English?

    By the way, the correct pronounciation of Colin Powell's first name is how he pronounces it.
