    1) More power more corruption. He also seems happy to let states ban abortion for instance. I believe that interferes with personal freedom.

    2) I don't believe that. I might be wrong.

    3) It seems these days checks and balances are a thing of the past. For recent examples see the bailouts and middle east adventures.

    Obama did not let Mr.Wright print his name on those rantings. Being seen with crazy people is quite different than putting your name on their musings. Either he agreed with this filth or he never read it. Neither speaks well of him.

    For one the game development costs could be funded by a group of buyers who pay a monthly fee for the output of a set of developers. Another approach maybe some sort of contest, or even donation. I think with some publishers the Red Hat model could apply, Bethesda as an example. Their games range from slightly buggy to unplayable at release time and generally take 3 or 4 patches to get to what I would consider a reasonable state.

    While not all methods will be suited to all types of software, the notion that each copy of software must have a direct attached cost is clearly not a given.

    I don't think it goes quite that far. They are both bought and sold to the 1%/corporatists/whatever but outside what those folks want they are a little different.

    I honestly cannot take any of the Republican candidates seriously. Cain might be one of the worst in your eyes, but Perry executed an innocent man, Gingrich is clearly pandering to the worst rightwing fascist fringes, and the rest make their entire debate arguments out of lies and faslehoods.

    I did not claim otherwise. He allowed them to be printed with his name on them. Either he showed poor judgement in putting his name on such filth, or he never read it and showed even worse judgement.

    Personal matters are something to judge someone on., when the odds are they would impact their performance in the task at hand.

    I flatly do not believe that. Perhaps he is capable of that, but I don't think so.

    I would vote for near anyone as the lessor of two evils. I voted for Obama to keep fascist grandpa and hillbilly barbie out of power. Had McCain run the 2008 campaign as he did the 2000 race I might have been convinced to select him as the lessor of two evils.

    I attempt not to. It is hard to avoid though. In this case his beliefs are way out and center. To me that means he is more likely to let them sway his decisions.

    What is wrong with kucinich?

    I can't bring myself to vote for Ron Paul. I do not believe he can keep himself from forcing his religious views on others once he gains some power. While I know he did not write it, putting your name on racist newsletters does not speak to his good judgement either.

    So pointing out something is a myth is rabid atheism in this case, but anyone would say the same thing about Zeus.

    I have never heard of such a tale until another poster made that claim.

    I did not make such a claim. Perhaps you should learn to read a little better. I suggest starting with some non-fiction works since you seem to already be quite versed with fiction.

    You can't really believe that. Siri is limited to iPhone4S to sell that phone. Apple loves to claim their devices get updates for so long, but has shown they are no better than anyone else. They will still withhold software to sell hardware. They may let you install it on older phones, once they are sure they got all the sales they will get from it.

    I mostly hate it because just about all the non-stock UIs break other functionality. Sense used to break apps that depended on contacts being "contacts" not "people". The blur email clients suck, they don't let you tell it to always download whole emails. You have to press some button to get the rest of the email.
