    Please tell me that this means that the Oracle/MS deal also means that Oracle is dying.

    And yes, I know it's off-topic for the story, but on-topic for the thread.

    I'm just curious.. how much work would there have to be on the *screenplay* for Duel? I mean, there were, what, 25 spoken words in the whole film? Disclaimer: I am not in "The Industry" at all, and have no idea what a screenplay consists of.

    Granted, it's a brilliant film.

    Not to mention that pesky little First Amendment....

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    (Emphasis is mine).

    So, exercising one's rights under the First Amendment is now a terrorist act?

    Wasn't the meter originally defined as "1/10000 the distance from the equator to the north pole, as measured along the meridian running through Paris"?

    I live in CA. After the primary, there are EXACTLY two candidates for every position (except President). They are the two highest vote-getters in the primary.

    In the LA Mayoral election, I had a choice between a union-controlled Democrat and a union-controlled Democrat.

    Two party first past the post, dude.

    And in Lovely CA, in the general election, you get exactly two candidates, who may, in fact, both be from the same party, because the rules say "the two highest vote-getters from the primary are on the general ballot".

    Example, in Los Angeles, we had a choice between a union controlled Dem and another union controlled Dem.

    Not voting is also a vote. When there is no real difference between the candidates offered, how do you protest?
