Here's a hint: when something is more popular than something else, it's because the public sees a benefit to using it over its competitor, not because it has an evil monopoly and must be stopped.
As an AC one time I successfully copied a +5 Insightful comment and posted it verbatim later in the same article; I got modded up. Even more amazing, the original poster got modded down as redundant!
[a. F. centre (It., Sp. centro), ad. L. centr-um: see centrum below.
The prevalent spelling from 16th to 18th c. was center, in Shakspere, Milton, Boyle, Pope, Addison, etc.; so the early dictionaries, Cotgr. ('centre, F., a center'), Cockeram, Phillips, Kersey, and all the thirty editions of Bailey 17211802; but the technical volume of Bailey (Vol. II.) 172731 and the folio 173036, have centre; 'an interleaved copy of the folio of 1730 was the foundation of Johnson's Dictionary', which followed it in spelling centre; this has been generally adopted in Great Britain, while center is the prevalent spelling in the United States.]
I have never seen "Talking to Americans," but I can only assume that it is a "humorous" show whose content centers around the fact that Americans are dumb.
How can I assume this? Because Canadians are obsessed with comparing themselves to Americans, and, whenever applicable (read: always), making themselves appear better than Americans!
Do you know what the average American thinks about this? He doesn't! Listen to me: No American, anywhere, gives half a shit about Canada. Period.
And there is the beauty of the free market. When it is in our best interest to upgrade to IPv6, we certainly will (through the effort of large corporations, entities which you no doubt despise).
Not before it benefits us, not a moment after. If there is a profit to be had, someone will try and take it.
How about this: no one gives a shit about having "enough culture (?)" to know about places where the government babies everyone throughout life at the expense of the creative and hard-working.
First, you're taking about the Great Compromise, and slaves were counted as three-fifths of a person, not five-eighths. Second, the Electoral College was established because the Founding Fathers believed the general populace to not have good enough judgement to elect a person to such an important position; this is also why senators were originally chosen by state legislatures and no by direct election.
Perhaps it is you who needs to read a history book.

Unfortunately you socialists have hijacked a good term like liberalism and changed its meaning to suit your needs.
Classical liberalism = libertarianism
Liberialism = socialism
If by "free" you mean "at the expense of the taxpayers," then yes, it is "free."
Bandwidth, storage, backups, admins, and everything else needed to make a project this size go aren't free, you know.
But leave the real computing to the gorwn men.
Why don't you learn to type, dumbass.
While I agree with you, the LP is not really viable at this time. I am a registered Libertarian, though.
You socialists thing everything is a monopoly.

Bush.
He'll be the only non-socialist running.
Linux stole SCO's code. How is that frivolous?

What does the first part of the post about Congress have anything to do with the latter part? Is he just trying to start a flamewar?
Why do we even need this? CrossOver Office runs Microsoft Money flawlessly; sometimes the redundancy of Open Source software is baffling.
No I would not. And, unfortunately, too many people are afraid to admit that nowadays.
Or maybe he was GUILTY.
What would the government possibly gain from convicting an innocent man?
Oh shut up. No one cares about the poor.

Even if your absurd allegations are true, there is still infinitely more of a market in US television than there is in UK television.
And UK TV sucks.

Wow. That is the least apt use of that trite quotation I have ever seen.

Don't you mean "USian," you pinko, socialist, bitch-of-the-government? Perhaps your opinion will count when you are weaned from the state's teat.

What the FUCK does the electoral college have to do with slavery AT ALL?
You're a moron.
Why?
