...that maybe he was bullshitting you? Or that he was psychotic and believed that he was making 45K per year, dating Natalie Portman and had a hugh penis too. Geez, what some people will believe...
Umm, you know those things we have in orbit? I think their called, spy satellites... Anyway, Colin Powell used them a lot for a presentation to the UN about those WMD. Had a lot of photos of big equipment. You know, stuff that would be pretty easy to photograph from orbit. 'Course there were also all those UAV flying over Iraq for a couple of months prior to the war and I'm pretty sure they are equiped with video equipment and whatnot...
Anyway, seems to me that if there were any WMD that were moved to Syra WE'D HAVE A TON OF FUCKING PHOTOS OF THE MILES OF TRUCK CONVEYS IT WOULD TAKE TO MOVE THE TENS OF THOURSAND OF POUNDS OF CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS THE BUSHIES SAID HE HAD!!!!
Except, there aren't any photos. I mean this administration would certain trot them out to quite all the critics and stuff if they had them, right? So repeat after me, THE WMD WERE DESTROYED JUST AFTER THE FIRST GULF WAR LIKE THE UN INSPECTORS SAID THEY WERE.
Well, that pretty much clears that up. Oh, and Bush and company a bunch fucking traitors.
HOW LONG WILL IT BE before that or another judge decides that individuals cannot assemble or petition the government?
That's illogical! An individual cannot "assemble and petition the government" unless s/he's dismembered. That and built like the T1000 in Terminator II.
As to the rest of your argument, I bet it too stands on equally specious logic.
...I never understood the "logic" of the administration's claim that, "since Gunatanamo isn't US soil US laws and rights don't apply there."
Now it seems to me that US laws and rights apply to such territories like Guam which, strictly speaking, isn't US territory either. Hell, is Puerto Rico really considered US territory? So do I become a non-person whenever I travel there?
And it seems to me that US army bases, which Gunatanamo is, are like US embassies. Which have traditional been consider US territory, at least when it was convenient during the Cold War.
I'm just thoroughly disgusted with the perversion of logic by this administration. Can anyone play Devil's Advocate and make a case as to why Gunatanamo is "beyond the pale"?
...That is SUCH a funny and insightful sig! Damn, I wish there were moderation points for "Insightful sig". Not to say that your post wasn't good either, but...
In the signature block I have written "check ID", so if I was to lose my card, no one would be able to fake the signature which is right there in front of them.
Sorry, but writing that on the back of your credit card isn't valid. I've worked at plenty of places that will refuse a card that has that. Plus in my state it's illegal too. You have to sign the card with a valid signature, nothing else will do.
Why don't a bunch of Vancoverians create a blacklist of bars and clubs that use this system? Make sure the list is very public so that they know your boycotting them because of their use of this unjustifiable invasion of privacy.
Why the fuck Dotties are in such a hurry? Where the hell are you off to that you absolutely, positively cannot wait five minutes to have your books scanned?
Have Dotties ever heard of deferred gratification? Patience? Slowing the fuck down?
NASA spent a million dollars developing a pen that works in zero/micro gravity. The Russians just used a pencil......
ARRRGGGHHH! No they didn't!
Both NASA and the Russians used pencils until Fischer (the pen manufacturer) approach NASA with a pen of their design which would work. NASA didn't pay them a dime, they did it out of their own pockets!
Why? No, really, I'd like to know why. Just because the bits traveling over the wires can be regrouped and transformed into speech that a human can understand, why does that require oversight, licenses, or fees? Why does it require regulation at all?
[sigh]
Why charge semis a fee that travel the same road as cars which don't get charged those same fees? Different use of the same road, just like different data traveling over the same wire being treated differently. Let's face it, critics of this simply want government services for free. They don't want to pay any taxes at all, but they do want the services that (local, state, federal) governments provide.
Here's an analogous situation:
Just because the bits traveling over the wires can be regrouped and transformed into a financial transaction that an accountant can understand, why does that require a fee when I use an ATM?
...like a literary teacher told our class once; "Come back to this story once you've matured and can appreciate it." I thought she was blowing shit at the time, but I've found out that she was right. The audience does need a certain level of maturity to fully appreciate some works of literature.
If it comes to the point where you have to take arms against an oppressive government it's too late. You were asleep at the wheel while the totalitarians were raping the country. Ballots, not bullets!
When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

The only difference is that M$ deliberately limited the number of simultaneous queries to five. Otherwise Access does have a robust DB engine.
- It was fast AND
- It had journaling AND
- It shared data between applications AND
- It allowed for sophisticated querying AND
- You could pull the plug on the machine and it would reboot quickly (typically less than ten seconds) with no data lost.
So once more Windows stealing technology and probably getting credit for "doing it first". Ugh!...but that's what the original story said. I don't know if the MIT researchers actually meant Napster or whether the reporter got it wrong.

who did the voice of Gollum for the animated series. It's too bad he died before he could at least do a cameo in the LoTR's movies.

Krap! Yeah, that's what I mean..
The author explains why this is different.
Keep that integrity son. We need more of you in this wretched world.
