The phrase "indentured slaves" is nonsensical. Either you are indentured (entering into a voluntary servitude that is limited by the payoff of a debt or a predetermined interval of service) or a slave (indefinite term of involuntary servitude).
P.S. Remember when Cheney refused to sell his Haliburton stock when appointed VP?
That's because he didn't and doesn't have any, and he vested his stock options to charity. Even if he hadn't, holding those options would be legal. Please stop spreading this meme.
That's quite a straw-man you've created. No one's banned evolution from schools; they've asked that ID be taught as well, which sounds like a bad idea to me but it's not an either-or position. I'm also curious at who is trying to legislate away dinosaurs. Is there a plan to pile all the fossils up and have a huge bonfire? And I think you left the "embryonic" out of the stem-cell research.
I heard on NPR the other day, that the _real_ reason for DST is not to save energy, but rather to appease the retail sector. They have data that people are more willing to go out and spend money after work if its not dark. So people go motoring around in their fuel efficient SUVs, blow money, and thus energy is saved!
They really have a special kind of crackpots on NPR. Did this ignoramus realize that DST has been in existence since WWI (earlier in the USA)? I doubt the retail sector were the ones making the push.
DST made sense in the era before artificial lighting.
Which is exactly why the USA has tentatively extended DST: to save energy expended on all that artifical lighting. Unfortunately, I see most businesses like to leave two-thirds of all their lights burning after hours, so it might not help that much. But that's up to the Department of Energy to decide.
You must have gone to a great high school! By the way, no one puts much stock in guilt by association anymore or else both Bill and Hillary Clinton would be in jail right now.
When I discovered that if I wanted a computer at home, I could choose between DOS or Mac, I gnashed my teeth in frustration.
Well, you could have run OS/2 like I did. It was a lot more usable than Linux 0.9912superalphabuild at the time. Who would have thought IBM was so incompetent?
Being that most flash drives are under 4 GB, people would probably be hitting the wall constantly just like in the bad old days of small DOS partitions.
I upgraded to Vista, which is like kicking myself in the balls.
I started playing World of Warcraft, which is like smoking crack (but less socially acceptable).
You don't know how ntpd works. It uses differentials from UTC. How is it going to know to adjust your clock if your time zone is still standard time? FYI: Windows has had integrated NTP since Windows 2000.
"Zero-day vulnerability" is totally meaningless. Even the proper "zero-day exploit" makes no sense after zero-day. Totally useless garbage speak, just the marketroids and talking heads who make up words like "factoid" because somehow the word "fact" is not descriptive enough.
I take it you don't own a house. If you do, you might as well burn it down when you die under your estate tax because won't be able to afford the taxes. No, the limit doesn't apply to just LIQUID ASSETS. There aren't many decent houses in middle-class neighborhoods for 200K.
"The Internal Revenue Service has released data on tax year 2003 that show the top 1 percent of taxpayers, ranked by adjusted gross income, paid 34.3 percent of all federal income taxes that year. The top 5 percent paid 54.4 percent of the whole, the top 10 percent paid 65.8 percent, and the top quarter of taxpayers paid 83.9 percent."

Lots of openings for guys like you in this thread!
That's why the phisher will register a domain with only one or two changed letters.

Depends on whether you are Democrat or Republican.
I, for one, welcome our automated anti-crazy hick gun platform equipped, solar-powered, communication tower overlords.
Someone should have told Norman about these words: rumor and lie.

Excuse me... is that a cloud of smug over your head?
Ooh! Let me try...
