My point is that it is rather disingenious to point at the two token (required by statute) democrats of an organization in which GW has been doing the hiring for the last 8 years and try and equivocate the platforms.
From the FCC website (Michael Copps is one of the comissioners):
The FCC is directed by five Commissioners appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate for 5-year terms, except when filling an unexpired term. The President designates one of the Commissioners to serve as Chairperson. Only three Commissioners may be members of the same political party. None of them can have a financial interest in any Commission-related business.
So, it is a requirement that there be Democrats on the commission.
Not to be pedantic, even if I may sound so, but what have economics do with the fact that pollution generated by a small power plant is greater then by a big one?
It is cheaper to put a scrubber on one stack than a hundred stacks.
I think you're confused. Or you've never used Craigslist.
It doesn't cost anything to post an ad on Craigslist. And there's no traditional internet advertising (ie google adsense, yahoo ads, etc) from which to generate revenue.
Actually wasn't there just an article about them starting to charge for property rental ads in some markets? I wonder if that helped prompt the case.
Except for the fact that water vapor is SEVEN TIMES the green house gas that CO2 is, and it is present in the atmosphere in MUCH MUCH higher concentrations.
So we probably don't want the entire planet's water getting warmer now do we?
They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.
But using the correct quote would take the punch out of your fear-mongering, would not it? You'd have to -- both -- point at a single essential liberty given up, and explain how the gained security is only temporary. Oops, it is not longer a clear-cut sound bite now, is it?
Not quite sure what your pouint was. Here is the essential liberty: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
You are right about one thing, the security is not temporary, it is non-existant. We are selling our country out while there is absolutely nothing you can do to prevent a motivated suicide bomber.
Who wears a Tshirt to an event like a State of the Union address anyway? She was being disrespectful to every other person in that room. An event like the State of the Union requires at least modicum of decorum, despite how you feel about the man giving the speech.

While our revenues have grown rapidly, we have experienced increasing net losses, primarily driven by our increase in marketing expenses. From the period of inception through Sept.30, 2005, our cumulative net loss was $310
Maybe that is a clue. I swear there is a vonage commercial on every commercial break of any show I ever watch on cable.
That song from Kill Bill makes me cringe now when I hear it.
I know we are all against frivolous lawsuits and pro Apple around here but there are two interesting quotes from the article that suggest to me they may have a case.
The devices can produce sounds of more than 115 decibels, a volume that can damage the hearing of a person exposed to the sound for more than 28 seconds per day, according to the complaint.
Which wouldn't necessarily be a problem except:
Apple was forced to pull the iPod from store shelves in France and upgrade software on the device to limit sound to 100 decibels, but has not followed suit in the United States,
So they release a product that can produce dangerous noise levels and it can be shown that they knew full well about it but chose not to do a similar recall in the US.
I am not really arguing right/wrong/whatever but its much easier to prove negligence when the company knew about the issue..
The Globe and T&G financial information was inadvertently released when print-outs with the confidential information were recycled for use as ''toppers" for newspaper bundles.

All the flaws described in his examples need the "hacker" to login to the system with an account on that system.

It's not spoken of because it's not true. Take a look at Senate Joint Resolution #23 from Sept. 18th, 2001 (see link in my other comment in this thread). It very much authorizes the use of force, and most importantly invokes the War Powers Resolution. It doesn't mention one thing about funds.
From the link in your other post (re: suspension of habeas corpus):...following a declaration of war by the Congress.
Congress has not declared a war!. If you read the texts of the authorization for use of force (which you also linked): (1) SPECIFIC STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION- Consistent with section 8(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution, the Congress declares that this section is intended to constitute specific statutory authorization within the meaning of section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution.
From the war powers resolution: (c) The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization,
So as you can see they have authorized force by statutory authorization, not declaring war!.

I believe the definition of conservative would more accurately mean those seeking preservation of the status quo. Depending on the society in power at the time, that may mean preserving slavery, segegation, dominance of a single racial group, sex, or class, etc.
Why do you push unaccepted definitions? Use a dictionary.

Actually, the author of the article never refers to "cracking" the headers of CDs. The article states "software 'commonly used to crack header codes on copyrighted materials such as movies and music to allow duplication,' Schafer's memo said.". Regular redbook audio CDs don't have any sort of DRM to crack, but many DVDs do, and so do DRM'd music tracks downloaded from services such as iTunes or Napster.
Can you actually name any form of media that requires "cracking a header code" to rip? I have never heard of it...
When somebody prays or carries out other religious expression during meetings or on government property, it does not force everyone else to support their religion.
Except for the fact that I was forced to pay the taxes that bought that property in the first place. If I let you use my backyard for your sermon I would call that support. So why is using public property purchased with my tax dollar not support?
On the contrary. Linux is open source, therefor more people are looking to find bugs / rewrite code.
If enough eyes are looking, all bugs are shallow, that is the open source mentality. That is precisely the good thing about open source.
Just how many core Linux developers are there? Compare this to the hordes of clever yet evil people trying to take advantage of Windows to make a quick buck. Which group has more eyes again?

Nor is there any reason to believe that someone would get anything out of the ability to revise and extend anyone else's words.
Dude, Disney built it's entire empire doing just that. They extended many stories that were in the public domain.
And then they used that money to make sure there would be no more public domain but that is another rant.
There is no God given right that allows you to lay claim to the works of others...nor should there be.
Conversely, there is no god given right to protect your works either. Copyright is an entirely legal (and fairly recent) construct.
