Yes, they chose to have sex when they couldn't afford it.
I and my wife (who is an RN) both had degrees and jobs as professionals when we had two children.
Yes, they chose to buy fancy wheels for their otherwise beat up car rather than save for the future(any future, their own, their kids', any).
I have driven the same old un-pimped car for 10 years. Prior to that, I drove the same old un-pimped car (Mazda 626) for 11 years. My wife drove her un-pimped cars (basic Honda Civic, basic Ford Aerostar) for 7 and 10 years respectively, before her current vehicle.
Since the RIAA is clearly an evil organization, I suggest that everyone stop purchasing music
Dear Congressman,
It has come to our attention (and hopefully yours) that our profits have dropped immensely this past year. Since it is inconceivable that people would deliberately not purchase our product, it is obviously due to those Evil Content Pirates(tm). We would like you to introduce even more draconian laws to protect our profits^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hartists. Please find enclosed a "campaign contribution" for ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
I'm wondering how much sales the Majors have lost due to Boycott.
Absolutely nothing. Any and all losses are obviously caused by the Evil Content Pirates(tm) who perform filesharing. Boycotts and/or crappy product have absolutely nothing to do with it.
I know that about half of SlashDot hates Bush, but...
Use him! Use his own prejudices for your purposes. Write to him and ask him to actively oppose this (and veto it should it cross his desk). Use his prejudices. Point out that this aids the "liberal Hollywood elite" at the expense of the innovators in industry, etc... etc... etc...
No shit. I can't remember the last movie nor the last CD I happened to buy.
You, sir, are obviously an Evil Content Pirate(tm). You have not been performing according to the "People Are Only Consumers Hereafter" (POACH) Act of 2005, which labels those who do not spend above a certain minimum amount on xxAA authorized content as terrorists.
Their DB probably was set up for SSN originally, and it's easier to keep the same format.
Is Woodbury in Burbank? I took some classes at LAVC back in the early '80s (summer school, for general ed requirements... I was a fulltime student at UCSC).
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
Or to put it in plainer English, "You still have *all* your rights, even if we didn't mention them here."
This is the clause you use against those who claim "There is no Constitutionally guaranteed 'right to privacy'". Yes there is, the Founders just didn't bother to enumerate it.

You can download and read an infinite number of documents on an electronic reader. And maybe you won't have to pay for them.
And I have a nice bridge to sell you too. Why wouldn't you have to pay for your e-books?
they have to blow up the earth
So obviously they will be profiling Martians, and looking for Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulators!
Tell my wife I said... "Hello".
And Groklaw has a reply to it.
Why does MS feel a need to follow Chinese law when they don't follow US law?
Microsoft... Where Don't you wan't to go today?
You missed GP's joke. He didn't ask "Why was it axed", he asked (or "axed"), "What did they axe it?".
Yes, they chose to drop out of school.

If she didn't work, we'd be living hand-to-mouth.
Get a fucking clue.
What about VAXen?

Yeah, where's the LiteOn 1693? Great burner!
someone could develop an extension that made ActiveX work with Firefox
There used to be one for Netscape 4.x for Windows. OK, it was a plugin, but NPWRAP would let you use ActiveX in NS4.
Those were named back when you were using a 300 baud connection to a paper TTY.
You *WANTED* to save typing.
In America if theres not a law explicitly stateing you can't do something your free to do that something,
Actually, it's enshrined in the Constitution.
See the Ninth and Tenth Amendments.

Apparently the Martians found out that Beagle 2 was actually carrying Slim Whitman albums (or was it Hank Williams?).
Are they evil now?
I believe he also won a MacArthur foundation "genius" grant. That probably defrayed some of his expenses for a while.

The Ninth Amendment:

You retain the Right to Privacy, even though the Founders didn't see fit to mention it (they probably thought it was obvious).

The first rule of PATRIOT Act is you do not talk about PATRIOT Act.
