All this terrorism shit offends me. And, no, one man's freedom fighter is not another man's terrorist. If you fucking kill civilians -- innocent men, women, and children -- you're a goddamn terrorist. And you offend me.
How many innocent, hard-working American people died as a result of the attack on September 11th? Far too many. It was a horrible tragedy, and I sympathize with the victims and their families. But Holy Crap man, how many innocent hard-working Afghanis died in the U.S.'s retaliation? There was a stray U.S. bomb that landed on an elementary school in Afghanistan, the death toll was almost as much as that of 9/11, but it was barely on the news. Every single day the U.S. government - my government - slaughters innocent people. It is horrifying.
The definition of terrorism is the use of violence or force to overthrow a democratically elected government. How many times has the U.S. done this in the 20th Century? It is an objective fact that the United States - a country I love deeply and lament for - is the largest, most dangerous, most feared, and most hated terrorist organization to ever exist. American bombs in Iraq intentionally target power plants, sewage processing facilities and surplus food storage silos. They leave the countries' citizens - innocent citizens, women and children - living in a foodless, powerless squalor awash with sewage. It disgusts me. It should disgust you too.
I'm tired of the Anti-Americanism. True, America is big and bad and loud. But we're not the *SOLE* cause of misery in the world. I'm tired of nations who just blame, blame, blame and don't accept even a modicum of responsiblity.
True, America is not responsible for everything, just most of it. The operative difference is that America is the most capable country on the planet of cleaning up after itself; hell, at cleaning up after most everyone else, too. The U.S. spends more money on its military - including the weapons of mass destruction that we kill so many children in order to keep from our enemies - than any other country, and than every other expense of our own. We're the only country in the United Nations with a democratically elected government to not ratify the U.N Convention on the Rights of the Child. The U.S. impedes the growth of, and its citizens access to, new technology such as alternative fuel and new medecine in order to avoid hurting its own economy - so it can continue to fund its nuclear weapons.
I've typed enough. For someone who claims to love our country so much you ought to read up on the facts. Frankly, what I think you need is a nice heaping dose of Michael Moore.
Frankly, I'm saddened. Granted, fires are scary things, and shouldn't be taken lightly. But come on...no one died, and a single building of computers burnt down
Another good use is as a decoration! I have a friend who hung a bunch of AOL CDs a foot or so from his ceiling on fishing line - it was really cool when he brought in the strobe lights and disco ball!
heh, and then they'll to do Jar Jar what they did with wandering healers in UO - make them incredibly powerful! I cannot even begin to count the number of bone helms and capes I've dry-looted from newbies' corpses after they accepted my "1 million gold to kill that healer" offer...

The larger the profit they can make, the happier everyone is. One way to increase your profits is to reduce your costs. Simple math right? So how do you reduce the cost of your software? You switch to open source of course.
you are correct -- this just gives us one more thing to shove into Bill "TCO" Gates' face, eh?
earlier today I set a plate of food next to one of those lamps that turn on when you touch them, my dog snaked her tongue up to the plate to grab a piece of steak, and her tongue hit the light, turning it on... I'm considering teaching her to the turn on the light for me!
Turn on the light, Kiva! Turn it on, go ahead! Goooooooooood
Off the otp of my head, I'd have to guess that the stars aren't in that picture for the same reason there are no stars in the pictures from the apollo moon landings.
The astronaut's suits were made to be very reflective, and with little to no atmosphere to filter the light from the sun, the astronauts would be very bright. In order to capture the bright object on film, the shutter rate on the camera would have to be set very fast. For this reason the relatively dim stars in the background didn't have time to take their place on the film.This is probably the same for the picture of Saturn.
For a real life comparison, imagine looking straight into very bright light (spotlight, etc.), you won't be able to see anything behind it or to it's sides, because the light is so bright. It's somewhat similar to that.
It's too bad they're dropping MSG, that's a quality show, but the real tragedy is when they replaced Mission Hill with that inane ripping friends show a few weeks ago, augh, it's such crap... Mission Hill rocked!
if a store or even a private club doesnt have ramps or handicap access they are swarmed upon by the bees that are the ADA... but when it comes to accessability via electronic means it doesn't?

I get a little gas money from the hourly wage of $2.13/hour
$2.13!? Assuming you're in America (as you put it in USD) then that's far below minimum wage. You should be getting atleast $6.75, I believe.

Isn't blocking off ports against 'the spirit of the internet'? I mean, isn't it supposed to be open and unrestricted? (especially by companies)
