In general, there is nothing wrong with that. I see no problem with believing what you believe. It's when you force that belief on other people that causes problems.
I think the main problem is that if you are a fundamentalist, then that neccesitates that you either try to force those beliefs onto others, or kill all nonbelievers. If you are absolutely certain that your belief system is correct, and inherent in your belief system is that all other belief systems are evil, then it follows that you want everyone to have your belief system. At that point things like secular government and religious tolerance just dissapear. How can you state that the Bible is the direct infallible word of God, and in the same breath say that we aren't going to use this in government, and we are OK with the fact others don't believe what God is saying?
I think partisanship and common decency have plunged to new depths
Why does partisanship have to have anything to do with one's hatred of someone? I would be pretty pleased if Bush got offed, for completely non-partisan reasons. I mean I don't even live in that so called country. I notice a disturbing trend where people, mostly in the US, misattribute all motivation to partisanship, which in itself appears to be partisan.
I used to believe a bunch of the conspiracy bs until I actually visited the site of the shooting in person.
And if you can't travel that far, check out JFK Reloaded and you can take your own shot. After running through the sim a few times, I wondered what the big deal was.
As noted in your spreadsheet chat, memory requirement change per year is not expected to be linear. If you take the log of your data, put year on the X axis, then the change per year appears consistent. It is not clear to me that Vista memory requirements are out of line with historical trends.
In 15 years, absolutely nothing will have happened, and we will be completely fine, and the media (which is a business) will have its journalists (employees) reporting on whatever news cycle is driving revenues that year.
I dunno, I don't think the news media is faking all those photos of dissapearing glaciers and ice shelves. That seems pretty conclusive that something is happening. How do you explain that?
Think about it. If their goal is to "find Earth", the missing colony, how much story is there left to tell after that point?
Maybe instead of colonizing earth, they could secretly work to improve earth's technology. They could help us fight crime and maybe even Nazis, because on earth they have super powers. That would be awesome.
Just use the controls that work. Repeater, literal, panel, textbox, checkbox, image. You don't need anything else. The compound controls are probably ill advised for anything non-trivial.
Yes, after you turned off the "downlevel" browser feature that treats IE as CSS 2 compliant
Or you could not use all the compound controls and wizards, and just code it by hand. People bash ASP.Net for the poor automated HTML output. Well you don't have to use that.
As long as the legal copyright holders are legally entitled to payment for the right to a copy, and you make that copy without paying, it's theft.

Yeah they are in Dire Straights. They need to Rush and abandon their Cheap Tricks and keep their Doors open to a new Genesis, or get crushed under the Rolling Stones of progress. One day when you mention the RIAA, your buddy will respond, "The Who?"
So which are you? We're 'natural' and so is everything we do, and when we're done killing every other species on this planet off it will have been inevitable.
Natural and unnatural is not the same thing as good and bad. Humans killing animals can be natural and bad. I don't understand why so many people link these two disparate concepts.
Monster may help on analog audio, but doesn't do jack for digital.
Please no, not even for analog. Monster is like the Bose of cable. Don't feed the marketing machine. Buy cable just as good for less at places like Blue Jeans Cable.
I would also suggest backing up the real results so that no real harm is done. That should get us secure voting machines by the 2008 presidential elections.
I think you are going to need to cause actual harm for real change to be implemented. If the real results are backed up, then they will be restored, "proving the reliability of Diebold equipment". You need to leave someone with Wierd Al as governor and no recourse to repair the damage.
I hope one of you jokers does rig the election. Give 100% to somebody, I don't even care who. Then there will be no choice but to deal with the Diebold issue.
Oh wait, its MS, so they can't do it because they are a monopoly, except that no one is forced to buy Windows. A monopoly is the old Ma Bell, where you really didn't have a choice. You have a choice
You are saying MS isn't a monopoly? Sounds to me the parent was making a legal argument, and as such the only relevant opinion here is the one of the judge who ruled MS a monopoly.
I think your characterization of the situation is rather short sighted and optimistic. The ultimate goal of Islamic fundamentalism is to dismantle secular institutions and set up an Islamic state. The main thing preventing this currently is US influence in the region. Iraq is only a piece of this.
The bad guys suffered significant military defeats in Afghanistan and Iraq. This is obvious, and I think what you are alluding to. However I think we must realize that Bin Laden et al have no real expectation of winning militarily. This never was a military war for them. This is an economic war. I think the grand strategy for them is to keep the US engaged in a war which they are not financially able to maintain indefinitely, and I believe they are doing it. Iraq is costing hundreds of billions. The US dollar is weakening significantly. Foreign nations are starting to move away from the US dollar. Iran is setting up their own oil bourse.
The terrorists just want to keep the US engaged. They don't care where. The US has more resources available to them than anyone, but the manner in which they conduct war is orders of magnitude more expensive than the terrorists, and thus less sustainable.
I think Bin Laden was happy when the US invaded Iraq. This development shifted the financial costs of the war even further in his favor. Thus, while the US has achieved many military goals, his financial strategy is coming to fruition.
Bush or the administration somehow involved? Surely he would have set himself up to look better during the atacks, rather than looking stunned for 7 minutes and reading kids stupid stories.

The other thing that gets me is, as others have pointed out, why he didn't just shoot as the car was moving towards him up the plaza.
Probably he just couldn't look him in the eyes as he shot him.
I used to believe a bunch of the conspiracy bs until I actually visited the site of the shooting in person.

Don' be obtuse. An HTML table is fine, but an ASP user control table probably isn't. I'm sure you can figure out the others by yourself.

I only hope that what these military in the article say is true: that it will actually hinder them more than help them.
What the hell? Do you want to disband your military or something? Where does this come from?
