I'd say Bush. If he fight the RIAA and wins, it sets a precedent. Anyone citing Pres Bush vs RIAA in the future has a pretty good shot in the future, no?
Being a Montrealer, and thus a Quebecer, I find the current system is fine. Not sure what a "Bubble Sheet" is, all we have when we vote is a small piece of paper with the names of the candidates (They don't even mention their political party on the paper), and a pencil. Go into the little booth, make your X in the appropriate circle, fold it up, drop it in the ballot box, go home.
What needs to be modernized? Is it just some delusion that because we'd be voting electronically that we'll get a more modern government?
... Or, why not simply find alternatives. So you know Dreamweaver, big deal. If you want to make the switch that badly, find alternatives. I hear this all the time "does XYZ run on Linux?" no, but, ABC does and does the same thing. Oh, you have to learn new key-combos, my heart bleeds for you. Stop whining, suck it up, or STFU and keep using Windows.
I don't think Google being evil makes Microsoft any better. There is room for more than 1 evil in this world. I still don't see Google as evil though, at least, not yet.
Given the previous shuttle flight, they were on the lookout for anything that could even remotely resemble a potential problem. Paranoia? Perhaps, but it would be silly not to be a little extra careful this time out. That said, we don't know that the repairs they conducted were in fact necessary, but they couldn't hurt. When you look for problems, you'll find them. What really puzzles me is that the apparent real problem wasn't fixed, foam still flew off the tanks during liftoff and hit the orbiter. I'm curious to see what they will do with that for the next flight.
I do believe Apple intends to make their OS X86 bootable only on Apple x86 machines. However, given the vast quantity of PC users already out there, many of whom have had it with Microsoft, would it be a wise decision for Apple to simply allow any and all PC users to use their new OS? Of Course it would cut into their hardware sales, but how well have those been doing lately anyway? (exluding the iPod of course)
Cars? I recall 2 Voltrons. The first being the 5 lions, the other being a dozen or so space ships, (Which I guess you could see as cars, though I tend to think of cars as being land based) Am I missing one?
I agree. You can't sit atop boosters that big & powerful and expect that nothing will ever go wrong. This is a lot more dangerous than crossing the street, which we are prepared to accept some risk for, so why not for shooting people into orbit. Do what you can to improve your chances, but eventnually, something is going to go wrong. The people sitting in the shuttles know that, and they accept it.
How do they get to remain in control? If they are being fined for soemthing it's obviously illegal, and could never claim control. Is a fine a license to break the law now?
They have been trading at around $3.00 for a while. What is interesting to see is the flurry $0.01 incremental asks, quickly followed by the same $0.01 incremental bids for 100 shares, every day 10 minutes before closing. They held out above $3 for a while, guess it was some critical value for a major bagholder to cash out at, who knows.
This is the reason american propaganda works so well. It gets called "Journalism", so it must be true. If it's on CNN it MUST BE TRUE right? I'm sure if I tried, I could put together a 20 second clip of random people supporting whatever cause I choose, on any given day.
I believe that this is what is happening. It's the IT version of the Cold War. Most would prefer that no nukes existed, but as long as they do, most would rather have, than not have. I really think this is Novell and IBM, and perhaps others, watching MS get ready for it's patent assault, and saying you nuke us, we'll nuke you back. Here comes the Cold War analogy again, Mutually Assured Destruction.

Likely never. A bot could lose money should a player get lucky. Casinos rake the pot on every hand and thus will make money no matter what.

A software audit of all government agencies and government officials' office & home computers the day this bill passes!

If you have one, put your laptop behind some kind of NAT. This will at least let you fetch your updates without having to expose yourself to the wild.
I always thought patents applied to inventions, not discoveries.
...shows what I know I suppose.

STUPIDITY!

You just did, bunghole.
BTW, it's "Sméagol"
You've only ever watched the movies, haven't you?
I've been wondering...

So they're trying this again are they?

Distance is no the factor I'd worry about. Sure, it's thousands of kilometers, but wouldn't he freeze long before distance ever became a factor?
I pass by this every day on my way to work. That building on the right is the Canadian Space Agency.

On second thought, ya, do both.
Stock manipulation??? SCOX!?!?! Never...

Because they were people...
There is still time... Semester just started.
