Socialism, in all its subtle and overt forms, has been training it's dependents to rely on the government for a few generations now. The reason there is not wide spread concern about these intrusions is that they want the government to take care of them: they expect it.
The public won't complain until people really start losing that which is dear to them: their comfort, money, and lives (as they perceive that to be).
I agree, Fox does have bias. But, the difference is: they admit it.
They usually present arguements from both (well, usually two since there can be more than two) sides of the picture. But, what you are complaining about as serious bias is really just the NOT so usual amount of liberal bias that one gets at the major media outlets. Because you see Fox's bias as so serious tells me that you likely wouldn't see CBS, ABC, nor NBC as being too unlike the CBC.
So, please, please, please tell me that you don't actually think that reports, even at the CBC, don't have their own slant on what they see. If you do, I'll then have to conclude that you've never been interviewed for a newspaper.
At first I was just thinking to myself that: "I'm glad this guy is just a pundit and in no position to do anything about implementing such a cruel device of torture."
But, then he had to mention 'the monopoly' and suddenly things seemed plausible. Not a nice thought.
The thought has passed in that I need not concern myself with such matters since I have both FreeBSD and GNU/Linux experience (with Solaris 10 soon to follow).
The Linux job market is hot here in the Metroplex (Dallas/Fort Worth). When ever I want a new job I will just post to Monster.com and the opportunities will contact me. So, I guess they were searching for keywords as found in my resume.
My point is: this may be your last resort (whereas pray should have been your first resort:) ) since what you are looking for seems to be in short supply for the near term.
Seems more like you're saying, "He I am! Walk all over me because I know you will because I know you want to!"
Your attitude is not the same attitude my founding fathers had when they dealt with their then oppressors: the British.
If you're so concerned about your rights, why don't you go and fight for the rights of the really innocent:
The Unborn
Stop abortion, restore rights to the Unborn, and then maybe you can feel more secure about your own rights because you have stood up for those who cannot stand up for themselves.
I am not adverse to such governance, in the light of compassion, provided that compassion be given not just to mercy/forgiveness but to correction and the empowering of myself to not make the same mistakes over and over again.
If we had a perfect government with perfectly just and compassionate laws, then I would submit to total observation by the government.
Either you're saying that you are already perfectly just and compassionate yourself or you don't realize that you would then be required to become absolutely perfect and just as compassionate, in the eyes of those laws, so as to not offend the one observing you 100% of the time. Or, is there another side to your reasoning?
I must admit: that was kind of abysmal, if not crass, on my part. On the bright side, I really am open to hearing what those pricipals are from someone else. If I'm going to disagree with you, I might as well have the same vocabulary/footing lest my points degrade into the very abstract list above.
I guess the assumption here is that you are never part of those 'drooling masses'.
No, you've been enlightened and wisdom shall die when you die.
You and your type, that see your neighbors as incompetent to make their own decisions (rightly and justly) and therefore need to have decisions made for them, are at the heart of liberal attitudes extending, in it's extreme, into Communism, Fascism, and their proud ilk.
At least those candidates, with whom I do not agree, are at least willing to sacrifice/risk their time, money, and reputation to at least
TRY
to make a point with not only their mouths but their ACTIONS. Try asking a high-powered lawyer to 'sacrifice' his time on your behalf and see how much his time is worth to him.
I've often wanted my own architect's table to work on at home; one where I could stand or pull a tall stool up to it to give the howling dogs some relief.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised by the pessimism belched out in these posts; it's like all the helpless bitterness rotting in the gut of the hopeless spilled out into those pages remotely polical.
My complaint is that while having every low-down and 'I-know-better', dirty generalization to puke onto these pages there are no solutions belond not-Bush.
Now, the most I can expect from this crowd is as list of bogus accusations against this administration. To counter them would to stoop to the level of those accusations. But, to head some of you off at the pass, here are a couple:
WMDs: found - more in Syria
(therefore: Bush didn't lie
the above was only one of at least a dozen reasons why we rightly remove Sadaam for not complying with the armistice he agreed to at the end of the Gulf War
A government is never more moral than the people it represents, by definition.
Agreed.
P.S. - Concerning your sig:
My God created the hammer you god carries. My God's Son did die nailed to
a tree. I have no questions. But, you should considering my God's victory is that death (your god) could not hold him seeing as he is risen from the dead... forever to be King. Get used to it.

I've seen them work in Lima..... Peru....... in the early 90's......
That counts......
Doesn't it?
Well said.
This license can do nothing but tie the hands of the lawful. It does absolutely nothing for stopping use by dictators and their ilk.
Shame on them for limiting the good and strengthening the evil.
Ssshhhhhhhh!
If you make too much of fuss, everyone will know!
Yes, coffee!
And pencil and paper and very big pink eraser!
This isn't just about terrorist; it's also about your average cyber-criminal.
Ever had someone 'joke' with you about you but you knew that while they said it as a joke, they actually meant it?
That's the kind of 'comedy' Colbert is given to: he's just saying what's really in his heart.
Give him a little time and you'll see that he'll become undistinguishable from his 'character' (pun intended).
Some day you'll be embarrassed for having quoted Steven Corbert.

By they way, that was a very good witness.

Or, is there another side to your reasoning?
I think that's a fair question.
My impressions of what those principles are:
I must admit: that was kind of abysmal, if not crass, on my part. On the bright side, I really am open to hearing what those pricipals are from someone else. If I'm going to disagree with you, I might as well have the same vocabulary/footing lest my points degrade into the very abstract list above.
Thanks.
I see you know nothing of redemption.
With your own words you confirm my previous conclusions.
Thank you.

And will it take as long to bring to production as Vista?
Be consistant:
- Set up a regular work space
- Keep it clean
- Keep regular work hours
- Keep a regular break and lunch schedule
- Separate, as much as possible, your 'home-space' from your 'work-space'
- Set goals for hours worked per week and per day
Be your own boss:Just don't fire yourself.

It would help if they required SSH keys plus strong passwords.
