It's all they can do to appear militant and yet never truly declare war as the constitution specifies must be done. It's illegal to be using troops abroad without declaring war (without the quotes) on the territory we are invading. So instead the electees 'declare war' on concepts to keep their options open about _where_ they might want to attack.
And I read it as "Russians Mock Mars Mission" - as in, the Russians as a country are laughing their asses off at America's "president"'s brief mental sidetrack a while ago into sending americans to mars -- aka a sad attempt at diversion.
While what you are saying is true, I don't think we'll ever see an ebay auction with a reserve price of $70 grand get a legitimate bid unless they are bidding on $80 grand in cash.
Uh, it may be a longer list, but it's almost all games, and the guy set the reserve price at $70,000. I don't think there will be a bid there, thus, no transaction, thus no one is gonna care.
What kind of idiot decides to use "Java 5" as an alias for "Java 1.5"??? Are we Diebold? The same crap happened with Java 1.2. Why do intelligent people accept this marketing bullshit?
When "Java 2" came out I had the same objection and still do. What the hell? When the real Java 5 comes out, are we gonna call it Java 50?
Wake up people! Computer savvy people should know about how numbers work.
Just because not all worlds are inhabited doesn't mean there aren't an infinite number. If you allow yourself to presume infinite space and infinite worlds, suppose 9% of them turn out to be inhabited, no matter how many you keep examining.
Dude, there might be bugs, but unless I'm a total idiot or I use a dangerously primitive language and don't do any manual buffer overflow checking, I don't think any of them will be giving the user or malicious image creator any extra access. Basic translation from one data format to another should not risk cracking the system. It takes exceptional stupidity to make a hole like that.
Background: I've been a registered Libertarian my entire life, and I have so far voted for the Libertarian candidate (Harry Browne) in every presidential election since I turned 18. I'm a strong believer in what the libertarian party stands for, and I'd like to see them become the majority party someday.
I recently have been VERY impressed with Dennis Kucinich, in fact he is the first democrat OR republican I have ever had any real respect for. I even re-registered as a democrat for just long enough to support him in the democratic primary, then registered back to libertarian. But the democrats have tacitly ignored him and everything he stands for - his attempt has essentially proven that attempts at true progress 'within the system' as a member of a majority party are, for now at least, not going to do anything.
------------ I've been thinking about voting for Nader, because he is the one out there making the biggest fuss about ending the war RIGHT NOW, ASA-MF-P, and that is the most important issue and the most correct answer I'm hearing out there. This is only an option for me because I live in CA, and it's a foregone conclusion that no matter what I do, Kerry will get CA's 55 electoral votes.
I hate bush enormously. I want to see him lose at any cost. He should be stopped by any means necessary. I would vote for Kerry if I thought it would make a difference. But aside from protesting the Vietnam war shortly after leaving it, I don't have much to respect him for. It's just an anti-bush vote. I'm sure the situation is the same for millions of others.
On to my question.
We all know that, in 2004 at least, the libertarian party is not going to _WIN_ the presidential election. What you are doing now is ideally greasing the wheel for next time. It's too contentious a race to piss off the democrats like Nader is doing and loudly, vocally denounce Kerry as a less ideal solution than yourself. I suggest you publicly acknowledge what everyone -- especially the more independent voters -- already knows. That while Kerry may not be ideal candidate for us, he is a hell of a lot better than the lunatic cowpoke marionette doll we have running the place right now. I am asking you, as someone who has spent his entire adult life advocating and supporting the Libertarian party (and who will continue to) -- please pledge that in the case that the Libertarian party does not win the presidency outright, you will direct any and all Electors you may get in the Electoral College to give their votes to Kerry. This way the libs can be shown as having part of the vote, without being 'spoilers'. And on the off chance that you the libs do get enough votes to run the place, you will not have committed to give up the presidency.
I realize things are very different on a scale below the electoral college. I don't have a solution for that. But I do think there need to be more public voices advocating for what Colorado is trying to do on their ballot this election --- split electoral votes according to percentage of state vote received. Please think about doing that.
BS, dude. Try a Mini-Disc player sometime. I've owned 3, and ATRAC compression is part of the Mini-Disc spec (which is proprietary and also coincidentally the reason they never caught on). At the same bitrate, MP3 kicks ATRAC's ass.
This reminds me of a certain isolationist and secretive country.. also well known for being a monopolist and 'bending' the rules whenever it doesn't suit it..
Our defense budget could probably feed MOST third world nations on earth if re-allocated. Gee, do you think that might reduce the amount of moral-outrage based attacks on our country, compared to asserting the right to ignore every other country and pre-emptively attack anyone who might ever be able to threaten us? (think this is fiction? read bush's national insecurity strategy (PDF from http://www.whitehouse.gov/nsc/nss.html) )
better than that is bugmenot.com which will give you a user/pass for any website on the web - or if there isn't one yet, allow you to add one to their database. it's great for reading news and avoiding any kind of compulsory registration.
we have to show web sites that forcing registration for marketing / tracking purposes leads to a reg database full of crap.
I worked for this guy for a few months. He is the most disreputable excuse for a human being I've ever had the misfortune to know. I was young and stupid and I worked on a verbal contract through a friend who worked for him directly, and an assumption of trust once I got past a few paychecks. My huge mistake. He kept asking me to give him time, and by the time I broke down and refused to work for him anymore until I got paid, he owed me 8.5 thousand dollars. I was broke at the time and couldn't afford the time or money to sue for what was mine, especially without a written contract. My mistake in trusting him singlehandedly ended my consulting career.
This guy uses obviously program-generated lists of emails to basically spam every possible email address in several popular domains - aol, hotmail, etc..
In case anyone wants to discuss his case, His cell phone number is (or at least used to be) 818-516-3999. His work phone number is (or at least used to be) 800-516-3999. I believe the phone was answered as "mainstream advertising". His email was dk@global2000.com, but I doubt it's still the same.
I have a bigger grudge against DK than anyone. It is thrilling to hear of MS's victory in this case. it's nice to hear of them doing good for once!
Anyone else out there know him? I know from friends that I am far from the only person who he screwed over.

Well, in all fairness, I do consider the people who voted for the president to all be criminals as well.

Mars, bitches!
And for the record, killing real life cops is evil. Support the police. Su-su-suport the police.
It's no more evil than killing anyone else. Su-su-support human life. Period.

No, actually a lot of the time they really do mean to say no pun intended.
But sometimes you're right.

No way, man. People want spam from a legitimate cheating wench.
Dude, google for OpenStep and GNUStep. Your wish has been granted. That'll be five bucks.
Damned good point, sir.
Well yeah.
