i'm sure the skinheads/neonazis who think that all blacks and jews should be exterminated before they destroy the human race agree. let the cleansing begin.
I'm not sure what your source is that people in the bible belt consume more porm per capita, but if true it could easily be explained by the lack of willing participants for those who wish to engage in sexual activity. 17 year old boys who get frustrated because the "church" girls aren't putting out are probably going to be more likely to turn to porn while males in larger metropolitan areas have many more opportunities to actually engage in the real thing with the females in the area.
According to the AP, 'Bill Clinton on Monday helped launch a new Internet search company backed by the Chinese government which says its technology uses artificial intelligence to produce better results than Google Inc.'
Actually there is nothing that isn't factual in this sentence.
I didn't think the article was about cost of protecting specific operating systems was it? Even if it were, the cost to protect the machine he used to prove his point would be $0 as well. If his point was Windows 98 can't be secure then he should have started with a '98 machine.

What a nice Marxist point you're making. A person's value as an employee is set by the market. It's called capitalism. The problem is that so many people think that placing a market value on one person's work exponentially higher than another's is somehow "evil". Think about it this way... if your mother was ill and needed medical treatment would hire a licensed plumber to give her surgery? If you could chose between 2 doctors, one of which had a 50% failure rate and the other with a 98% success rate, which would you chose (thus placing more value on)? Would you be willing to pay more for the doctor's services than you pay the guy who changes your oil?
Nice. You spewed forth crap while never addressing the point I made about private industry profits going to the government in the form of taxes and then being funneled into higher ed. Maybe if you put down your copy of "The Communist Manifesto" long enough to read my post you could have actually come up with a relevant response.

Oh. And there's help for your other problem, read more here.
You're right. The DoD had nothing to do with it...
What Uni do you work for? Where does the goverment get the $$$ to give to higher ed anyway? You realize that without private businesses making profits there would be no revenue stream for the government to tap in order to pay for the grants don't you?
I've noticed just the opposite. Seems like my local 720p stations suffer from much more macroblocking than the 1080i stations. My guess would be that's because if the my cable provider gives the same bandwidth allocation for 720p as they do for 1080i which means 720p will be much more compressed because it uses more bandwidth to begin with.
Actually a 720p broadcast uses more bandwidth than a 1080i one so I would bet 1080i will end up winning the content wars because when you're talking about delivering hundreds of channels bandwidth is a major concern. I could be wrong, that's just my opinion. I'm not sure what you're talking about when it comes to "graininess", if you've ever seen Discovery HD on a 1080i set then it would be hard to argue that 720p is more "clear". Maybe you're watching a 1080i signal on a 720p set and it's suffering from the conversion? What many people don't seem to realize is that their HD signal is often compressed from their service provider and IMHO 720p pretty much loses any advantage it had because it suffers more compression than 1080i.
There are still more lines of resolution using 1080i than 720p. Fact: you can not get as clear an image on a 720p set as you can on a 1080i set. If you want to argue that programming with lots of fast motion looks better on a 720p set then that's up for debate, but stating 1080i is equivalent to 540p is just wrong.
Yeah. But we'd have the sense to get out of the way if we had warning a week in advance.
Quick story about 'nadoes. I remember one sunny afternoon riding my bike through town when I noticed the sky to the west getting dark. Thinking it might rain I started heading for home. Less than 10 minutes later I was laying in a ditch watching a twister from about 200 yards.
That reminds me of this conversation on home schooling
My neighbor was picking my brain about getting the public school to challenge her first grader. She was concerned because my first grader was already reading while her son of the same age was just learning the sounds of letters. Nonetheless she challenged my home schooling saying my son would still miss out. "It's important for him socially too. He needs to be offered drugs so he can turn them down."
Who can argue with that logic?
Nice to know that you're edumacated.
Actually I have a great job with great pay and average benefits (I negotiated for more $$$ in lieu of some benefits.) My last job sucked and my boss treated me like crap and because of that I left. Not long after I left the company it went out of business because the other sysadmin and 7 of 9 developers followed my lead and found greener pastures. The free market works for the people who work. I can see why people who refuse to try harder so that they are more valuable to a company never make it in life. My mom and I were homeless for much of my childhood. After I graduated HS I joined the Marines, used the GI Bill, and now I make more than 80% of the people in the region where I live. If I can do it then anyone can. Now if you're handicapped then I'd be more than happy to point you toward some of the organizations that I make charitable contributions to that help people with disabilities.
Actually, all of your equipment takes 10% damage when you die and repairing it gets expensive fast. I've been playing for a few weeks and love it. I bought EQ1 and never played it after my initial 30 days. I got really tired of killing rats. Maybe that was because I bought the game a year or 2 after it was released and it was already pretty established. Maybe if I knew someone who could help me power level I would think differently. As it was it didn't matter how "big" the game was because I never got far from the steps of qeynos. EQ1 didn't seem to have room for the casual gamer. Maybe EQ2 does, but without an open beta I guess I'll never know.
I'm going to assume that it's the outer space weapons treaty.
I realize that there was only about 5 lines of text you could click on for the link to the 1972 treaty. Sorry to have made it so difficult.
As to your other point about convenience I see that you took the easy way by just throwing as much crap in your post as possible without even giving any of it any research. This is how the left works though. Throw enough crap on the wall and either hope some of it sticks or force the opposition to spend all of it's time and resources proving that you're wrong.
sending 18 year olds as proxies to kill each other
So you think they'll be sending 18 year olds into space? Maybe you should pick an argument and stick to it. I guess saying that the military is trying to come up with ways to reduce the number of 18 year old U.S. soldiers, airmen, marines, and sailors dying in conflict doesn't jive with the point you were making. Then again neither does saying the Air Force might just believe that the lives of not only U.S. servicemen and servicewomen but lives of countless foreign civilian and military personnel might well be saved because a system like this might just deter conflict altogether.

Actually it's because the livelyhood of the people who "work" there depends on government funding.

The parties involved were the USSR and the US.
Tip: Reading the treaty would be a good idea.

That's just Dismisinformation
Let's not be bothered by the facts when dissing the US:
Space Pen
I could waste my time refuting these but I really only have to point out one instance of you being wrong to make your whole point invalid.
2. Each Party shall, in exercising its national sovereignty, have the right to withdraw from this Treaty if it decides that extraordinary events related to the subject matter of this Treaty have jeopardized its supreme interests. It shall give notice of its decision to the other Party six months prior to withdrawal from the Treaty. Such notice shall include a statement of the extraordinary events the notifying Party regards as having jeopardized its supreme interests.
As you can see this treaty was never violated. Add to that the fact that the nation we signed the treaty with no longer even existed and your argument falls short.
