Like your Founding Fathers showed time and time again, the only way for the citizenry to avoid the greed of government is to take a stand and demand that the taxation be reduced.
Time and time again? Was I not taught about the second and third revolutions in my history class?
Also, the main thing about the revolution was taxation without representation, not mere taxation as anti-tax nuts would like you to think.
No. You need IE to use windows update, but all of the patches are downloadable as.exe or.msi installers. The problem is that when you use the files, there's no good way of knowing which one's you've installed and which ones you haven't. That's what makes windows update so useful.

Coca-cola, Minutemaid, Fanta, and others sell the syrup which is used. I believe you mean Coca-cola, Coca-cola, and Coca-cola sell the syrup. Don't buy into their branding crap. It's all the same company.
people are moving to East PA because they're dumb. They see the lower tax rates and say "oh boy!". Then they have an hour to two hour commute on 80 or 78 to look forward to each morning. That sure sounds like fun! Two people from my office recently quit and got jobs closer to home because their "Let's move to PA" gambit had gotten to be too stressful.
bin Laden family members and other Saudi nationals were flown out of the country after 9/11 on flights provided by the FBI. That is an irrefutable fact, and there have never been any answers from the government about those flights.
bin Laden an outcast? didn't he show up at a wedding a few years ago? "Sheikh Ahmad said he and his mother last saw bin Laden at the January 2001 wedding of one of Osama's sons in Afghanistan." Granted, Osama's step-brother isn't the most reliable source, but why would his family travel from Saudi Arabia to Afghanistan to attend his son's wedding if he was an 'outcast'?
I agree that Moore goes a bit too extreme from time to time, but there's something with this issue that remains to be answered.
It's all relative. In Australia, Tasmania is considered tiny. In the US, Rhode Island and Hawaii are tiny.

My big beef with the office programs is that the vertical space, which is by far the most important, is literally 25% full of toolbars and junk! All I really need is a small 24 pixel-tall bar with 10 of the most recent tools on it, and a search field / 'start' button / or menu to find what tools are out there.
You do know that you can turn the toolbars off, or customize them with just the functions you want, right? You can't get to exactly what you're looking for (MRU toolbar) but you can cut down on the wasted screen space.
She said "We need your help, we need everything." but she did not specifically request federal military support. Her press secretary said that she believed that such a specific request was not necessary.
Such a specific request, per the National Response Plan, the Insurrection Act, and various other laws, is simply not necessary. The President has the full power to federalize the National Guard or use the military. The failure to do so was a political failure, not a bureaucratic failure. Bush, leader of the 'states rights' party, did not want to overrule the governor. The governor may have failed to adequately communicate the situation, or may not have wanted to appear helpless.
It was a failure of leadership, at all levels. Hopefully there will be a real investigation into what did and did not happen, so that we are better prepared for the next natural disaster or terrorist attack.
Oh stop being a jackass. What you said in your original post, "evacuation works well, for those who comply" was clearly meant as a jab at the people who did not or could not evacuate.
Weather control might be a stupid idea, but your comment was completely insensitive and uncalled for.
Its unfortunate that government sweeps in during disasters and starts making mandates that make things worse. Like prohibitions against price "gauging". What, they htink things get cheaper when the infrastructure is destroyed?
Merchandise sitting on shelves (and gas sitting in storage tanks!) does not magically cost the business 3x more. Price gouging is illegal for a good reason.
Gauging actually helps-- it brings in more supply to service that demand, and ultimately prices go down FASTER when the free market is allowed.
When the supply can't reach where the demand is, then what? The free market is not our savior.
They are fully capable of doing this, despite the fact that the officer happens to be writing you a ticket at that precise moment.
This is a poor analogy. Police Departments have a whole section called "Traffic" that is solely dedicated to writing tickets. Sure, they also get people on outstanding warrants, stupid people with illegal substances out in the open in the car, etc.. but the main goal is to write tickets and collect revenue. It doesn't take a genius to realize that there are only X man-hours of police power available. Each man-hour spent writing tickets and going to court for the tickets is a man-hour that is not spent catching real criminals. I'm not saying there should be no traffic enforcement.. just in some places there is way too much emphasis on traffic enforcement.
Yes, the police can do two things at once. The question is which items should be prioritized over others.
Let's see who's going win... the ??AA and their lawyers or the senator and his political power.
The RIAA would win, because of the Senator's political power. Such a case would never occur. It would never go to a court. The RIAA would settle for a low amount of money and the implication that the Senator will help them out in 'stopping the scourge of music piracy' blahblah.
I'm not a fan of privatization, but NASA's bloated ineptitude is just screaming for it... and as well, it will get the too-fickle Congress of their back with their on-again, off-again funding and design requirements.
This statement implies that private organizations don't change their minds, or cut funding, etc., which is simply ridiculous. I'm not saying they couldn't do better, but too many people have this idea that private organizations are magically exempt from corruption, nepotism, overspending, bad forcasting, bad designs, etc.
Yes, but is the boss going to mark you down for not including comments? It's much more likely that they're much more interested in simply having something working on-time, comments or no.
Al-Qaeda is simply not the only group in the world that is out to kill people. They may be the one that the so-called western world should be most concerned with, but to say that they're the only terrorist group killing people is just wrong.
The real al-Qaeda, imo, has been eliminated. Granted, due to some colossal failures Osama has not been captured, but I do not think that he has any ability to control the people who claim to be in al-Qaeda.
Unfortunately, the name al-Qaeda has grown, mainly due to the use of al-Qaeda as a bogeyman by western politicians. This has led to other terrorists adopting the name (see 'al-Qaeda in Iraq'.. how original), which leads to continued use of al-Qaeda as an enemy, etc., etc. By supporting the al-Qaeda myth, we assist in some small part with the recruitment of additional members.
Correct and it's important to point out that the Constitution does use "citizen" elsewhere in the document. The writers of the Constitution knew exactly what they were doing when they wrote "no person".
Not only that, but no one seems to have noticed that this is a temporary order. This is SOP in contract cases. The judge issues a temporary order barring any potential violation of the contract until things can be sorted out.
While you currently can have your employees on XP workstations run as non-admin, it is very difficult to give them freedoms to modify the system without giving them full admin access (aka - install a new printer).
While being non-admin can be frustrating at times, group policy can be used to allow users to install printers, modify the date/time, etc. Group policy is not "very difficult".

Certainly there are factions of "Westerners" that believe this, but my guess is their websites don't last long either.
