in Homeland Security means the terrorists have won. Hysterical whining about "civil liberties" or "Constitutional protections" or things like that show your enemy combatant status. Just step away from the computer, pull down your pants and await the Patriot RFID insertion specialists.
Support your selected President in your actions and your thoughts or we'll know about it.
Along with being a guitarist, John also co-wrote and co-sings most of the songs with former wife Exene Cervanka.
He also has had a varied acting career, having been in "Great Balls of Fire", "Georgia", the TV show "Roswell" and of course, the classic "Roadhouse" with Patrick Swayze.
The SC selected Bush and then declared that checking on the actual vote total would cause people to question the legitimacy of their selection.
No other President (Clinton included) had to have the SC decide what was correct. Only Rutherford B. Hayes had a similarly disputed election. That's the one where the 8 Republicans in the committee gave Hayes the disputed 20 electoral college votes letting him win with 185 to Tilden's 184.
So even though both Hayes and Bush deservedly have asterisks next to their presidencies, Bush is alone in having the SC hand out a Presidency. Even Hayes didn't need that.
make no money off of their recordings with labels (and never did, even pre-P2P). The record companies pay an "advance", then charge the artist for studio time, promotion, pressing, advertising, creation of videos, transportation, lawyers fees, etc. And of course, the artist has to pay back the advance. Recording is usually a debt trap.
The majority of those that make a profit at all do so from performances and direct sales to fans of merchandise. The more people they can get to the concerts, the better off they are. This is why artists make videos and lobby to get them in rotation. This is why they try to influence radio stations to add them to rotations. This is why they give away promotional copies to influential people (DJs, trendsetters, etc.) and to large crowds at events (at record stores, etc.) This is why they lobby (and pay) to have songs included in the soundtracks of video games. They believe that more people hearing their music will mean more people willing to pay to see them perform.
Now step away from the computer and stand over there in the corner. The Patriot Act relocation experts will be by any minute now to take you to Guantanamo Bay, you enemy combatant you.
Remember kids: If you voice or even think an opinion contrary to your selected President, then the terrorists win.
All he's done is maintain the status quo of the relationshiop the federal government has had since Halliburton since the Clinton administration.
Hubba-wha!?!
Funny, I don't recall the Clinton administration outsourcing support for troops to a Halliburton subsidiary with a cost+profit no competion contract (whatever price they submit as their costs, they get that back plus a profit on top. No limits, no checking. And they were the only ones it was offered to).
I also don't recall the Clinton administration giving Halliburton subsidiaries no competion contracts to repair the oil production mechanism in Iraq, and then setting up the administration contract requirements so that ONLY Halliburton would meet it.
who are willing to challenge this behavior in the courts. Local chapters of the ACLU normally help.
Unfortunately, they pay socially (and sometimes fiscally) for standing up for the Constitution and what is right.
I've always been amused that the segment of society that most distrusts the governments efforts in everything else wants them to promote religion to their children.
Here's a clue to them: If you haven't convinced your kid to want to pray on their own initiative, then all the school-forced prayer in the world isn't going to help.
There are no laws forbidding students from praying in schools (though there are usually regulations on praying silently to avoid distracting others/interfering in the main school function of teaching). Lots do before every test. The law says that the school (as a representative of the government) cannot endorse religion by requiring, leading, authorizing, endorsing prayers. Including "non-sectarian" prayers (which are offensive to the religious who need specifically worded prayers AND to the non-religious who don't like be patronized by evasive shams). Individuals can do what they want. Government should not get involved in the religion business. Leave that to the home/house of worship, thank you very much.
You should take a few minutes to read the Constitution between now and 2008. Of course it's not essential. It's not like W ever did (too many words and all).
follows the directions of the Republican President. The President's budget sent to Congress underfunds things like Homeland Security and Americorps. Also, Bush expended political energy to make sure he got the tax cuts he wanted. For things like No Child Left Behind and AIDS help for Africa, he gives a "What can I do?" shrug and nothing else.
when all P2P software is outlawed, when CDs are unrippable, when people aren't allowed to play the music they "bought" without agreeing to spot audits of their homes/computers/person for any copyright infringing materials, and sales figure decreases actually accelerate, who will they blame next? Will they sue musicians for not making sufficiently compelling material? Will they sue DVD/video game/ISP companies for diverting disposable incomes? Will they sue their potential customer base for harming their business by not purchasing at requisite levels?
I recognize that it is unthinkable to them that they might have anything to do with the sales declines. Unthinkable!
They shifted it in complicated maneuvers to raise the value of sister companies under the Canopy umbrella, allowing their stocks to be pumped and dumped (and allowing the increased value of their stocks to be used in further complicated maneuvers to increase the personal fortunes of Canopy top executives). They also used it to hire really expensive lawyers who have no real conception of IP law but understand the stock value of publicity, publicity, publicity.
What they didn't do was use it to make good products or a functional business. "Squander" implies they ever intended to try to do either of these.
By the way, am I the only one who always thinks about Resident Evil's Umbrella Corporation every time he hears the name Canopy?
Again, Server 2003 is one of the affected. Welcome to the family!

As long as it is not endorsed, required, lead by or authorized by the school. As long as the government stays out of it, it's ok.
