Well, all the responses to this post show how much everyone knows about US history. Before making jokes/ragging etc about *anyone* else's country, at least do them the courtesy of getting the fricking facts straight. In the words of Lucy, "you blockhead"(s)
There's decent evidence that the US has done exactly this in recent conflicts, at least in Iraq I and Bosnia. Google around for it if you're interested.
Because if it's on the internet, it must be true!!
No, more like he came home one night and read slashdot, found a list of songs the RIAA was targetting, and was surprised to find he had so many of them. There's no mistake there, but nice try.
no, more like why would anyone be surprised to find that music they have was on the RIAA hitlist if they've been downloading popular music?
sigh...
I have a surprising number of those songs on my machine
Like you just woke up one day and were like, 'wow i sure got a lot of those songs the RIAA is looking for. Wonder how they got there?'

It really all started when some engineers decided that machine code was too hard and invented assembler.
i'm sure those getting paid by the hour complained.
No one ought to knock VB because it really is the best tool for what it does
And what is that? creating non multithreaded bloatware? sorry i couldn't resist
a low level language like C
When the hell did C become a low level language? Maybe it's more efficient (when used correctly) then java or vb, but efficiency doesn't make a language low or high level.
runaway success that Apple's iTunes Music Store was
so do we have to drop the 'runaway' now?
Seriously though, Apple knows how to make a good UI ( 10.3 not withstanding;) ). They don't half a$$ what they do. Ease of use and meeting consumer demands wins this match (for once!).
So each election I have to decide which issues I think are most important at that moment, and which party is closest to what I want on those, and not too far away on the other issues...
If you read to the end of my post, I addressed this.
don't know any party who simply follow one simple ideology anymore, not even the hard core socialists
The democratic and republican parties have platforms that everyone supposedly agrees upon. But no one agrees on everything.
As a side note, I believe there are also cultural differences in politics (in regards to parties) between our two countries, it doesn't mean you are right and i am wrong or vice versa. (not that you said that) Having two main parties in America has been a tradition, it seems, from the founding of the country: the federalists and the anti-federalists (democrats).
Did you get some sort of label when you were born?:-)
Most Americans would say 'i am a democrat' or 'i am a republican' or 'i am a green' or whatever, depending upon which party they registered with. You can change party registrations and lots of voters (and some politicians) do.
seems like people in the US pretty much always vote what they always voted, simply because that's the camp they feel they belong to...
If you agree with the democrats ideology why would you vote republican ? and vice versa...
OTOH, Americans realize that all candidates do not necessarily fit in the party's 'box'.
People *do* vote across party lines if they feel one candidate addresses their issues better than a candidate from the party with which they are registered.
no flames, but the DCMA was signed into law under Clinton. The only thing voting democrat will do in the next election is get Bainwol replaced with a democrat.
Both parties like money... corporations are happy to give them truckloads of it in return for special attention
Yeah... Sucks that they would want to stop people from stealing...
Oh btw, RTFA (article), Bainwol isn't bush administration, he was the senate majority leader aide. Minor distinction;) but it's an important distinction just the same.
This RIAA appt. is blatant politicking. I bet if;) the democrats regain control, they will replace Bainwol with a Rosen clone. Sigh... I am a Republican but on this issue they are pissing me off...
Pure water does not conduct electricity... You can buy de-ionized water at the grocery store.
ok, i'll give you the money to buy a gallon of deionized water and you go dump it on your computer? deal?
h2o is a POLAR molecule by definition. (although weak, hello high school chem)
deionizing just neutralizes any ions in the water.
So yes pure water DOES conduct. It's weak though. I haven't tested it by spilling it on my motherboard though... feel free to be the guinea pig

it's a fat, thin client.
They are just offloading some of the server work.
some kind of liquid cooling would be useful if the liquid didn't conduct... ie, short out your electronics if the system leaked... I don't think i want water running through my system. i can stand my fan noise:D
You can choose not to vote for Bush in the next election. The people of China can't choose to remove Jiabao from office.
Checks and balances... It not be perfect, but a least they exist in the US
As alluded to in your statement of Clinton's line item veto-ing, i believe the line item veto was only used for vetoing expenditures. So it would have little use in the homeland security addon.

Except that the storage will cost you at least as much as a low to mid range laptop.

I think that is the point. iTunes *only* works with Mac, just like buymusic.com *only* works with Windows
:'(
That wasn't mentioned in the parent post. Only the screaming for 99c music downloads.
You are all a bunch of whining little bitch hypocrite college boy fairies.
Waaaaaaaaah
I thought I remember people on this message screaming for the ability to download songs for 99cents
:D
So then they got iTunes. your point?
