True. To be honest I believe the main reason no one is more aggresive in their attacks on the current president right now is because he has such a short time left, and any attacks is likely to backfire at least a tiny bit on the aggresor. The democrats probably consider their chances better if they are not smeared in the blood of the former president.
That said, it could be harder to remove Cheney than Bush, because his crimes are more traditional stuffing the pockets of his friends, than outright lying to congress (unless I've been overlooking something?)
More or less. And the new R61 series are now also built as sturdy as the T models, only difference being size and weight (you pay 50% extra for a T-model which is a ½kg lighter and 0.5cm thinner).
I'll give an analogy. Imagine that suddenly, a sect of Christianity began to strike blow up various sites that it deemed were havens for atheists (e.g., liberal "atheist" universities, or something). There'd be a huge outcry against that. However, it's hard to take military action to stop it, because the "Christians" would not be associated with a specific country.
You mean like blowing up abortion clinics and sniping doctors?
Now where is the military action against the stupid red states?
There are tons of phones out there with similar and superior features compared to the iPhone, and if it is the interface and looks of the iPhone you like, there is the Prada phone which Apple ripped off when designing the iPhone.
I know you are joking, but Nokia have their own fucking country. They more or less control the Finnish government, not that odd since they are the single largest company in country but a very very large margin.
You are have no idea what you are talking about. You are right about the taxes, in Denmark we pay an average tax of around 50%, and a marginal tax of up to 60%, but it is obviously not an economic burden because we have an unemployment rate of 2.5% and higher salaries than the US for low and medium income jobs, and unlike the US we have responsible politicians who have recently payed back most of the state loans. Leaving us as one the few debt free countries in the world.
Sure, the success of Denmark is not easy to duplicate in the US, but it obviously blows a big hole in ignorants who claim socialism automatically leads to economic ruin.
No. The standard was unclear on the subject. When a standard is unclear you implement the most sane interpretation of it, and Microsoft did that, and Netscape/Mozilla implemented a brain-dead interpretation of it, and manipulated the W3C to make their mistakes the law.
Wrong. The presidential election in 2004 had international observers. They even wrote a nice report saying the was for the main part a fair and democratic election. They did however raise criticism that they had been banned from monitoring the swing states, in particular Ohio.
The reason I remember it is the amusing part; they noted that the US could learn several steps Venezuela had taken to make the elections more fair. It was amusing because the US government is claiming the Venezuelan elections are not fair, but according to the international observers the US is election is _almost_ as fair as the one in Venezuela.

No. Laws of physics are just paragraphs of a theory. For instance Newton's Laws are just a part of the Theory of Gravity. Scientific theories can not be proven(*), and laws are just a name for parts of theories.
(*) Unlike mathematical theories, but mathematics is not a science for the same reason.
Funny, in the version of Acid 3 I tested a week ago. Konqueror got to 85%. Konqueror 4.0 now stops on some weird embedding of text/plain assumption the test makes.
That's not gaming the system that is voluntarily limiting your influence in exchange for a priority (The highest influence in approval voting goes to a voter that votes for 50% of the candidates).
I would consider it a fundamental part of the system, not a flaw that is gamed.
Ahh. There is the point where we disagree: You assume the universe is infinite. I assume it is finite, which is the currently dominant theory in kosmology.

Yes, once you realize that the majority of people have below average intelligence, so many things explain themselves.
* Of course when intelligence is measured in IQ median and mean are forced to be the same.

Wouldn't the bullet then hit the user in the head instead?
I think it would be an appropiate solution, but not a viable business model.
No one is going to impeach the president as long as the vice president is more corrupt and criminal than the president is.
This is what happens when you post an April's fools joke and no one notices.

Yes, I agree.
I used the analog as a way to show the insanity of declaring war on terrorism.

Yes, exactly like those.
Did you have a point?

No, the fiber outage was in the Mediterranean, and that caused internet outage in the Middle-east and South Asia.

No, because if they truly learned something new they would have to readjust their positions, and that would be flip-flopping!!
So, according to public opinion, politicians are not allowed to grow smarter..
