that since the Republicans are in total control of the World...ehh... America, that talking bad about a former or present American President who is a republican is considered an act of treason, but during the last administration, it was almost an Olympic event to make fun of Clinton.
Don;t you find it apropos to build the most expensive aircraft carrier ever, and name it after the man who drove us the furthest into the hole? Although Bush may try and top that.
Wal-Mart is one of the places that LIKES to carry the fullscreen version of a film, and thinks it is their responsiblity to censor for you. These things may make Wal-Marts offerings a lot less appealing to a lot of people, like my self. I will keep my NetFlix, thank you.
Someone has already shown that Microsoft is spying on what software you have installed using their WindowsUpdate, but I do agree that this will make it easier for them. If the spyware is pre-installed and part of the OS, goodbye privacy and civil liberties.
I don't think I would call the Santa Ana winds "mild weather." Every location on earth has weather at some point in the year that would bring down a balloon.

I read somewhere prior to Q3A coming out that John Carmack only had to write about 15k more code for the Mac port. But then we does not let himself get stuck in proprietary bullshit.
My problem is that, maybe they should call it gnomecash. Or make it dependent on libraries that I am going to have installed on any given Linux install. I know I can install and use both desktops, I did that in the past. I happen to like KDE. I do not want to have to clutter my hard drive with Gnome crap. And the apps you mention are not windows manager specific. I am running Java AND Mozilla on a KDE/Fluxbox system and I DIDN'T have to install any Gnome libs to do it.
Gnucash is dependamt on a ton of Gnome libs. I use KDE and Fluxbox. I do not like Gnome. I do not want to have to install a shit load of libs for one item. I do nto use some CD burning apps for the same reason.
How many of them are unknown to you and me, but well known to the cartels from south of the border? What is the percentage that have actually been used as a drug tranfer station?
I mean, how many other lovie web site have an item titled "Other revenue streams"? That is more for the back-end, production/marketing teams, and not the general public. It is like putting up a web site that says "even more way we are going to seperate people and their money."
Jack Valenti is currently a lobbyist for the mpaa, against piracy and for copy prevention. However, take the following and place CD in place of DVD or video cassette.
HPR: The MPAA has backed several bills mandating copy prevention technologies. Critics have lambasted these bills for curbing consumer's "fair use" rights, including the ability to make back-up copies. How can we balance the interests of consumers and the movie industry?
JV: What is fair use? Fair use is not a law. There's nothing in law.
Right now, any professor can show a complete movie in his classroom without paying a dime--that's fair use. What is not fair use is making a copy of an encrypted DVD, because once you're able to break the encryption, you've undermined the encryption itself.
HPR: Even if breaking the encryption is for a legitimate purpose, to make a back-up copy?
JV: But you've already got a DVD. It lasts forever. It never wears out. In the digital world, we don't need back-ups, because a digital copy never wears out. It is timeless.
The minute that you allow people to break an encryption, you lose all security. If anyone can do it under the rubric of fair use, how can we protect the artists?
Today, it's illegal to copy a videocassette. No one has a fair use to copy a videocassette. If you lose it, you get another one, and there's nothing wrong with that. That's what people have been doing for generations.
I think Jack Valenti is still a threat to me and my ripping CD's onto my hard drive, irregardless of whether or not I am going to share them or not. All ofhis arguments for the4 MPAA can be easily retro-fitted for the RIAA. I am of the opinion that if I buy something, I can do what I wish with it. Just because there are people out there who are ripping movies and cd's and sending them out to the internet, I am not allowed to make my cd's into mp3's or whatever for my own personal use? I do not like that kind of thinking.
And talked a lot about the grade inflation, especially in the more well know institutions. They do not want to turn out C students, nor does anyone want to got to (insert random Ivy League school) and be a C student, except maybe both of the choices for President in 2000. He was not afraid to give a D or even an F if that is what the student earned in the class. He was a sciences teacher, FWIW.

I though Bush I took credit for this. How can two men claim it. Ohhh, that right, they are Republicans.

Here is the link to the original posting on the item I mentioned.

The RIAA has probably paid Fred Durst of Limp Dick, I mean Bizkit, more to spit beer on one of their execs.
It says it targer financial institutions. I would hope they are not running WIN98 on a modem, as much money as they make from us.

Wow. "fucking fart knocker.' You must be AT LEAST 8 then. Maybe 9.
You Spelled "you" and "the" incorrectly, but got "FUCKNUT" right. Edumacation at it's best. You sure showed that guy.
How much shit have you assholes thrown at him recently about dupes stories? Guess he is getting his revenge. HA HA! Now get the fuck over it!

I've soldered toast to mine multiple times.
programs at the Y2K thing? I thought I heard some rumblings about it during all of that.
As a fellow science fiction writer, what is your take on Dianetics and the Church of Scientology? Is the plot even that good?
