All that would be peachy compared to being an African-American in the south before the civil war. I hear Indian reservations are a cool place to hang out, too. America, land of the free if you are white, straight, anglo-saxon, and protestant, but not if you are anything else.
The problem is that the rules change when the entertainment industry is involved. Unlike other businesses, the entertainment industry doesn't suck up to conservatives because they see them as a bunch of sinful perverts, so they suck up to liberals, who, sadly, are bribable too.
If we publicly funded campaigns, and banned campaign contributions as the form of bribery they are, Congress might be salvagable. Until them we will continue to have the best democracy money can buy.
Why are the Democrats seemingly for this kind of legislation, and Republicans against? Usually Republicans are pro-business, but this is the sinful entertainment industry, so the rules that apply to other businesses don't apply here.
That rag could be called Popular Science-Fiction. Nothing in it ever really gets built. This new shuttle will never happen. Pop Sci has always been full of the silliness fifties futurists thought we would have by 2000. Maybe they could even call it Futurama magazine.
Look, NASA has painted it up to look like the American Flag. What a bunch of jingoistic hoohah. Why don't they call it the screeching eagle, or the freedom flyer? I hope it crashes.
A "copy protected" CD will copy, but won't play in a computer. Since many of us use computers as our CD players, we should all tell the recording industry what we think of this crap by boycotting them.
Of course, the one true religion is the Presleyite Disciples, or "Elvites." I was dissapointed that there was nothing at all in The Matrix about Elvis.
This SLAPP suit will lead to many others, as only the rich can afford to defend themselves in court. There is one thing we can do to voice out anger. Boycott the recording industry, and any company that uses SLAPP suits.
The new alien race is an ally of the federation. They are called the tee-pees. They have white cylindrical ships that go around uranus wiping out the Klingons.

Trey Parker, co-creator of South Park did a movie about him called Cannibal: The Musical I don't know if they'll have that one at Blockbuster. Maybe they could just rename it pac-man, and re-release it.
The term pac-man originally meant a cannibal. It was derived from Alfred E. Packer. Will Pac-man: The movie be more like Alive or more like Let Them Die Slowly?
John Fanning just took money for nothing while Shawn fanning did all the work. I think John Fannning would make a good record company executive, or perhaps he could even replace Hilary Rosen as head of the RIAA. Maybe Napster would still be around if that huckster had never been involved.
The last time I bought a CD, it was one of those "copy protected" ones that won't play in a computer. My computer is my primary player. The recording industry made a mistake by presuming me a thief. It cost them my patronage as a customer. I suspect that there are millions like me who don't buy CDs, and don't use P2P networks either. You shouldn't assume that the ones yelling, "Boycott the RIAA" are "pirates".

I have an idea. How about a phone that stays connected, and sounds clear. They would sell a lot of those.
Amen! There is no such thing as cyberterrorism. That is just a buzzword used by the power hungry, and con men.

I am a member of what Bushy considers a group of "evil-doers", the Democratic party. Do they have a dossier on me?

It does as long as you have a liquid nitrogen cooling system. If not, it will melt into a blob of goo, and might cause a fire.

Metric jokes? It's the ones about NASA sending a probe to uranus that are really getting old.
If you are playing this game, you are playing with yourself.
Today McCarthy would have a job in the Bush administration if he weren't President himself. Hate sells, and fear sells even more.
It would have been perfect for that hardware. Linux is too much of a resource hog to run on such slow machines.

We need more video game movies for the older crowd with a retro feel. I am ready for Pong: The Movie, and Space Invaders!
Somebody has been reading too many X-men comic books.
Privacy is a basic human right. Big Brother surveillance programs deny us that right.

I have an idea for a superhero all the fanboys will connect with. He's called Blobman! He lives in his mother's basement.
