For the first time in my life, I was reading things which had not been approved by the Prophet's censors, and the impact on my mind was devastating. Sometimes I would glance over my shoulder to see who was watching me, frightened in spite of myself. I began to sense faintly that secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy...censorship. When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know, the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked, contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything---you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him.
There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or a corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years , the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute nor common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped,or turned back, for their private benefit.
No, you're right. However the REAL ID act is so far out of the bounds of that which the Federal Government is entitled to do, that it's not even funny.
Exactly. Because the script monkeys assume everyone uses Windows. And won't validate it otherwise. Or assumes that their script knows everything, and if you aren't on their script you're a liar.
Bought a Dell a few years back for my daughter. The on-board ethernet failed. Hell, the Dell-provided Broadcom diagnostics said that the ethernet failed. But the fscking script monkey wouldn't believe me until the Dell diagnostics partition said that the ethernet failed (which it didn't, not being as thorough as the Broadcom diagnostics).
Never got the mobo replaced, wound up buying a $10 Realtek card instead.
Other than the political BS on this, I'd just like to point out that to get financial aid, if you're male, you *must* register with the Selective Service Administration. So the armed forces don't need to troll this DB.
It's been this way since 1980, when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. As part of the high school class of 1980, I was rather pissed about it, since the draft had been eliminated a few years previously.
Really? I thought a vote for a third party was a vote for a third party. Darned Diebold machines!
Seriously though, I live in CA. There's not a snowball's chance in hell that it will go Republican (and CA is winner-take-all in the Electoral College). How would my voting Libertarian be a "vote for a Republican"?

No, no, no.... You're misreading it!
It's *HOLLYWOOD* Stars.
Because they're only having sex with each other and adopting, they're reducing the biodiversity on earth that way!
Damn. Meant to post AC -- don't want karma for this.
Proper use of "betterment" embiggens the language.
If any corporation ran its retirement plan the way that the US.gov runs Social Security, the entire corporate board would be in Federal PMITA Prison.
And Clive Anderson (or Drew Carey) buzzes in ending the game.
One thousand points to Greg Proops!
Yep. Running the latest ForceWare video drivers (93.71) on 2KSP4. Don't know about the mobo nForce drivers, though.
How are they locking out, and what's the mod?
If you live in the Greater L.A. area, in particular Orange County, I can sum it up for you in two words.
Carpool Lane.
Certain hybrids (Prius, Civic Hybrid) are eligible for stickers which allow the driver to use the carpool lane solo.
Given the state of certain freeways in SoCal *cough*CA-91*cough*, this is a major, MAJOR benefit.
Verbing weirds words.
At least Canon cartridges are relatively cheap.
I suspect that's endemic to *any* state DMV/MVD
No, you're right. However the REAL ID act is so far out of the bounds of that which the Federal Government is entitled to do, that it's not even funny.
I've got two words for you, my friend. Virtual Machines.
If the name "Clarus" means nothing to you, GTFO.
Yo, Troll,
If you don't know how to spell "Claris", GTFO.
And finally, the Microsoft Brothers came up with "The Other, Other Plan".
Well based on the "techs support" reps I've had to deal with, it would be, "Can you start Windows(tm)?"

1. Find a feasible method for resurrecting the dead.
2. Resurrect Jon Postel.
3. Profit!!!!
I find it highly amusing that something so speculative got on /.
You must be new here.*

Damn! I didn't even realize that... I was serious, there's nothing like the steady beat of ZZ-Top for getting into the zone...
Don't forget ZZ-Top for either heavy coding, or cranking out documentation.
