I'll repeat it again because you're slow: He's not a member of the Republican Party, therefore he is not a Republican. He may be a conservative, but not a Republican.
As for schill? Well, when that tag is attached to journalists on the left I'll accept it.
And just as cold here when it comes to press freedom. I write occasionally for the Ottawa Citizen. You should phone up the OC journo who was dragged into court and had her home raided to find out the sources for her stories.
Free speech protections in Canada are actually less reliable then they are in the U.S.
I'm rather unimpressed with Firefox today. The update button popped up this afternoon yet the update itself was dated Feb. 25. I realize they didn't want a mass stampede to their server but that means a heck of a lot of people were unprotected (and remain unprotected) if they don't habitually check/. or Mozilla.org to see if there are new versions available.
They greeted this security update better than Microsoft usually does...but not much better.
For a long time Russia had no terrorism until they went rampaging through their former republics (actually, that's not true, they experienced terrorism in the 1970s and 80s after invading Afghanistan). Those Chechen terrorists aren't in Russia because the Russians are the friendly bear. I hear Grozny is proof positive of that.
Don't get me wrong, I rather like the Russian approach to terrorist: no negotiating. Not a good thing if you're a hostage of course but it sends the right signal to the bad guys. You will die if you do things like this.
As long as you're not being shot by gangsters, having your apartment block hit by a massive bomb, having a school or opera house captured by violent Chechen terrorists or enjoying a criminal investigation by the government over your business practices, or etc..
Sorry, but I'll take the United States any day (I live in Canada) over Russian "security".
I'm a bit puzzled. If the U.S. is "withholding" satellite data, why is it still freely available via another web site?
Less editorializing, more reporting.
The present trend of warmer sea temperatures, which have risen by an average of half a degree Celsius (0.9F) over the past 40 years, can be explained only if greenhouse gas emissions are responsible, new research has revealed.
The results are so compelling that they should end controversy about the causes of climate change, one of the scientists who led the study said yesterday.
Whew! Glad it's settled!
Well, except for the fact that there is wide disagreement on sea temperatures and whether they've risen. Whoops!
The arrogance of scientists and their reliance on computer models knows no bounds.
First he was late to the party on terrorism -- criticizing only after he left the White House -- now he's criticizing Microsoft a decade after we figured out the same. What will he jump on next year? Security through obscurity?
You're grunting at someone who has written more words about privacy rights in Canada, and that includes for the biggest newspapers in Canada, then you've ever read.
If you think we have strong "privacey" rights, then you're the ignorant one being embarrassed in public.
Canadian government which supports mandatory biometric national identity cards, attempted to create a massive database with information on every Canadian, passed anti-privacy laws after 9/11, has banking laws no less invasive then those of the U.S., blah blah blah etc. is angry about the USA PATRIOT Act.
You were modded down to -1 when I read this (and I wish I had mod points today) but you made some good points. Groupthink, however, took care of getting rid of it.

I wish I had mod points left. Well said.
Sigh, "Royal Butler" is a job description whereas "Republican" assumes membership in a political party. I would argue that one cannot compare the two.

Especially considering that Novak isn't even a member of the Republican Party.

You must be. I'd invite you to actually list out all the Americans whose rights that you listed previously have been violated.
Take your time, I can wait.
But if you haven't read it, how you can tell me what's in it? Because someone else told you?
You may be a rocket scientists but you either haven't read the USA PATRIOT Act or didn't understand it.

So what they did was take old data and have their computer models accurately reflect them. Whoopie.
The test of a model is to accurately predict things, not model that which has already happened.

No, and thank Christ they didn't get that no-talent. Mos Def is a good actor.
Windows still comes with WMP 6.4. If you use XPlite you can remove the latest version of WMP and revert back to 6.4, which is what I did.
Wah? They find out some obscure conservative journalist got past White House security?
Bloggers are relevant! They are fact checkers! They don't need training!
Whatever. Daily Kos is as worthless as most of the media is.

> 1 - Because the CD probably has DRM on it too, these days.
Really? Because you know most CDs don't have DRM, right? I'm not disagreeing with you but exaggeration doesn't build your case.
Sorry, I meant to say "The existence of Jesus Christ *2000 years ago* is generally accepted by all scholars."
Theory - The universe has existed for 13.7 billion years. It's a guess.
Fact - The existence of Jesus Christ is generally accepted by all scholars.
Please note, I'm an athiest but let's not go around making wild claims unless we want to turn science into a faith-based belief system.
