Not at all, but 2.6.8 is generally not as stable as say, 2.4.27. If you do something out of the ordinary or pull the plug at random times you may feel the effects of one of the many trickier bugs or misfeatures that may be fixed in newer versions.

Speaking as a nearby resident, I think it happened pretty much as described in the articles. And there have been many smaller reports of police going too far that day, including threatening to arrest some schoolteachers for wearing shirts that said "protect our civil liberties" to the Bush speech.
Local articles (yeah, I'm local) distinguish protestors and Bush supporters. The vast majority were protestors. The slowest runners got hit, including the two non-protestors who stopped to help an elderly man who fell.
Those weapons are meant for "riot dispersal". There are some differences between an angry crowd and a riot. If you're acting within your rights, your constitutional rights, and a police officer under orders from your government shoots you in the face with a paintball, filled not with paint but with cayenne pepper, to restrain you from further practice of your consitutional rights, guaranteed to you as a protection against government abuse, intentionally worded to allow no exceptions, is that a success? For who?
He's pro-Bush in the sense that he's pro-"Bush as president for 4 more years to show the ignorant republican voters the hell they think they want."
Lucky for them they only need to keep 1/3 of the voters happy to stay in power even in the two-party system, due to our biased electoral college. So I doubt Nader's plan is going to bear fruit any time soon.

The town is highly regulated, historic, and is home to a far above average percentage number of police officers.
Being a resident less than 20 miles away, I'm not at all surprised at the non-violent protests, or Bush's willingness to use cayenne pepper balls on harmless civilians. This area really looks like "bush country", lots of open fields and people who's jobs depend on the timber industry, but the economy has gone downhill and we have a reasonably sized university in the area.
Voters in less populated areas will still be able to vote using paper ballots. -wink wink-
There have been reports in several places of campaigners trying to register as many people as possible to vote, then tearing up and throwing away the non-republican registrations at the end of the day.
Add to that, smaller, mostly republican states have up to 3 times the representation per population in the electoral college as larger, mostly democrat states. And greater per population in the house of representatives. And inverse per population representation in the senate. The most popular political party in the United States is unfairly represented at all 3 levels in the legistlative process.
Still think we live under a representative democracy?
They've patented using client side script for what exactly it was designed to be used for. Like purchasing a bicycle and then patenting the act of riding it in the normal, intended fashion.
But on the other hand, they don't give an affirmative statement that the documentary is not intended to attack Kerry.
Since they're basically slashdotted, this is on their front page: We welcome your comments regarding the upcoming special news event featuring the topic of Americans held as prisoners of war in Vietnam. The program has not been videotaped and the exact format of this unscripted event has not been finalized. Characterizations regarding the content are premature and are based on ill-informed sources.
Massachusetts Senator John Kerry has been invited to participate. You can urge him to appear by calling his Washington, D.C. campaign headquarters at (202) 712-3000.

They should give an opinion on lawsuits from patent holding companies, who don't produce any product and are simply used to attack by proxy and are basically immune from counterattacks. IANAL, but a good workaround might be to attack whoever sold the patent to the holding company.
It's not stealing. It's piracy. It's illegal, but it's fundamentally different from stealing.
You steal a CD, and you're taking whatever the owner paid for it. You pirate a CD, and you're depriving the copyright owner of a portion of their rightful fee roughly proportional to your chances of purchasing if piracy was not an option. So your cost to others is a small fraction of a sum smaller than the total price of the CD, in the form of lost profit no greater than if you were simply uninterested in what they had to offer because of the price.
For the most part, they are like raw emails with a.mht extension, so much that there are probably many email readers that could be tricked into displaying them. There's nothing too proprietary about that.

Looks important enough for me.
He does, but he's got that republican majority to deal with. Plus you've gotta think about the greater and lesser evils.

Good ol' IndyMedia has at least one of the videos posted already.
You can't ride a bike through that town without getting a speeding ticket.
Some local schoolteachers, invited, were removed from this last Bush rally for wearing t-shirts that read "protect our civil liberties".
This site has a video. Be kind to their bandwidth, they're a local website.
I'm still downloading it, so I haven't seen it yet.

Same reason all their buildings follow the same fashion. He wouldn't have stayed otherwise.

It may be a good time to contact your local newspapers. Phone and personal appearances speak louder than email.
That's the spirit.

The courts from time to time agreed that commercially sponsored speech does not qualify as free speech under the first amendment.
