to 9/11:
Clinton knew about the attempts to destroy the WTC- there was one on his watch, but, when Bush took office, he & Rice flatly refused to listen the warnings, vene refusing to meet with the outgoing administration's people. and the warnings were dire, and coming not only from Clinton's crew, but from the international community as well. But, true to from, Bush, in his "I'm am not going listen to you I know better than you because I am better than you" form, ignored it all, and look what Bush caused. All it would have taken would be a heightened security alert at check in, and the attack would have never happened. A simple empty your pockets & check that carry one was all it would have taken. It is so simple, and yet, Bush caused the deaths of thousands by his pride & negligence.
And I would bet that 90% of America cannot tell you why the WTC was attacked: it was because America had troops on Saudi holy soil and Bin Laden believed that American troops should not be there. Please note that right after 9/11, Bush removed American troops from Saudi Arabia. Think how different it would have been if the troops were removed before 9/11. No attack...
That said, Bush created this climate of fear and has manipulated it for profit & power. The "terrorist" thing is a paper tiger- a boogie man. Bin Laden has accomplished his goals. America has destroyed itself and has more to fear from domestic terrorists than from International ones.
Can they access that from their most likely PC based computers? If they cannot, then what? Am I required to tell them how to do it? What if I have a particularly nasty Windows self actuating replicating data destruction type virus on my Mac, as defense against those who want to steal my data, and it gets into their system and it destroys their data base? Then what? Didn't they ask to copy all my data?
If you area computer professional, and you build your own computer, then the final cost of the computer you built is far more than off the shelf, once you add in your labor cost. Unless, maybe, you are a burger flipper. My tiem is really valuable, and I don't like to waste time, money, or get distracted
And you also don't factor in parts QC- the cost of researching and choosing reliable components- one of the things Apple does so well.
What you practice is false economy- like my Mom who used to drive and extra 15 mils to save fifteen cents. Or the person who buys the cheapest, only to have the cheapie break down after two weeks.
or 'we only believe what we see". There is an interesting idea of "God" "Allah" supreme being, Force, etc, existing in a different time space continuum. As if two dimensional creatures encountered a ball passing through their world. they would see only a dot, then an expanding then receding circle, then nothing.
Religion is not the sole purveyor of philosophy. But theistic religions wed behavioral philosophy with the existence of a supreme being who will control your afterlife according to how you act on earth. And how much you believe in the existence of a "god". So, contrary to what religions would like you to believe, a person can still be a "good" or enlightened person and not believe in a Supreme being.
Yep and those children in Communist China who are working long hours to make cheap clothes & goods for WalMart. Which all the good Anti Commie American Patriots buy because Wal Mart prices are LOWER!. Snark
The point is that, in CA, he would not be imprisoned, & CA didn't want the tapes that much anyway.. But the Feds wanted the tapes to build files on the participants, so they used a lie of "destroying government property", to jail him- IOW, they did and end run around a sovereign state's law. The problem with the Fed's claim is this- they reasoned (if you can believe this) that, since a local police car was damaged, and the Feds paid for part of it, they were entitled to charge Josh. Soviet Russia at its finest.
Let's get this straight from the beginning: Smoking is a drug addiction, & nicotine is a proven to be dangerous, deadly drug. Smokers are drug addicts, and they will always ignore this fact and complain of their "right" to smoke. that is why they will smoke even when diagnosed with lung cancer.
OK, by that logic, is there a "right" to shoot heroin? Smoke crack / PCP? Of course not, but just because the government says it's legal to use this drug, but illegal to use that drug, doesn't make the legal drug safe to use.
And, just like a user of hard drugs, the user / smoker has no "right" to impose his use or the side effects of his use on others- smokers will deny that their drug use endangers other people's health.
Smokers are hard drug users, and the sooner they own up and quit using nicotine, the better for all of us.
Makes a lot of sense: we are paying their salaries, so we should know where they are and where our money is going. This will reduce the chances of politicians being kidnapped for money, or being caught taking bribes or favors (this part I like).
Make it subdermal, with GPS, removed when they leave office.
If they want to do it to kids, then make the pols do it, too.
Just like spam, can we @/. take any countermeasures? I'm not up on this stuff, so if I make a few silly suggestions, please give me a break.

Parent. check Owns gun. check. Victim of violent crime. check. First problem. Most people that own guns ignore what they can do. A gun is lightweight, easily handled, kind of fun to wave around and point at things, real fun on a target range, and easy to store or hide. BUT real easy to kill or injure somone with. Since I would guess that 80% of the gun owners have never taken marksmanship courses, gun safety courses, self defense with gun courses, etc., then most hardware gun safety issues are there to protect the untrained idiot from him / her self. There ae a lot of ways to protect yourself and your family, and a gun should be the last of a list of how tos. And when you do put it in your hand, you must KNOW that you hold in your hand, the tool to kill a person, whether you do or not. People watch too many cop shows and have no idea how to defend a home home invasion with kids in the house. Always, the first thing to do is to try to evacuate the house without confrontation. Never yell out "I have a gun!" until you have the thing pointed at the intruder, and have made sure that this is indeed an intruder. Then you follow that statement with, "and it is pointed right at you. Do not move at all, put both hands in the air, NOW! If you balk, I will shoot you." Then fire the gun into something close by the intruder to show you mean business. And be 110% prepared to follow that shot with one to the body, aimed to kill, if the intruder does not do what you say, promptly.
And never keep a loaded gun in a place that is accessable. The problem is how to keep it safe but easy to get to, and that is where fingerprint security on a gun safe, combined with an access code, would do the best job. One hand gives the thumbprint, the other punches the code buttons, and the safe is open, in about three seconds. this is less time than to get the gun from the top of the closet, find the bullets or clips and load the gun. So I think it is better to use thign slike retina ID, fingerprints, etc. on safes, not on the gun itself, unless it is for police use, where the gun is disabled if it is taken away from the officer.
Ch's review misstates and lies. CH Is a repub hack, so, of course he lies to support Bushit. And, of course, CH ignores the point of the movie, and drags out every red herring and hot word he can, to distract us away from this point, and the point is this: Bushco started a war based upon ideology, religious fanaticsm and lies. The movie clearly shows Bush being unable to do anything without being told, and certainly unable to lead: the seven minutes reading a kid's book, and the "watch this drive" clip, underscore this. But what do you expect from a wealthy slilver spooned frat boy who has a long record of being handed businesses and running them in the ground?
This is not a pro- Democrat movie, but a movie that shows how the current leadership has ruined the U.S.'s international reputation. It is a movie that shows what happens when people with no leadership skills whose first motivation is to line to pockets of their corporate backers, try to runs things- something we have all witnessed with PHBs. It is a movie that shows how Busco has ignored the US Bill of Rights and Constitution, and has bent the rules to fit their agenda, and ignored the advice of wiser men when it gets in the way of their plans, and led the US into calamity. It is a movie that shows how
Buscho ignored the real enemy (bin Laden) and attacked a toothless blowhard tyrant (Saddam) in an oil grab, and, instead of destroying terrorism, actualy has magnified it. It is a movie that shows the war built on lies, and lies on top of lies, and denials on top of lies. And it is a movie that shows the effect of war on real American, not those who, because of money and position, will never have to sacrifice a thing.
To call the movie untruthful is nothing but a propananda lie in itself. The most damning clips are public, and Buscho condemns itself with little help from Moore. What amazed me is the look on Bush's face as he is told about the WTC attacks- a total blank, a deer in the headlights- no one home. that look convinced me that this clown shouldn't be a dog catcher - send him back to his country club wher he can play canasta, golf, and drink away from the commoners, and where he can do no harm.
I will see the movie a few times. To those outside of the US, take heart. This movie will bring together those who want to put the US back on the principles it was founded on, and restore America as a worthy leader of the world, a leader who sees the need for the world to work together. And this movie will awaken the sheeple who had a nagging idea that they were being fed a line of crap. Oh yes, and this moving will reveal, like CH, the desperation of the Repubs and neocons to keep the truth from getting out. Watch them get more bizarre as the movie spreads.
Don't repeat the lie abut US$3000 Macs- makes you look trollish and out of date. Emacs can be had refurb for $700, pretty easily, and from apple, to boot.
And similarly, there is a great difference between Northern and Southern, West Coast and East Coast cultures: In the South, "Yankees" are viewed as pushy, rude, and cold, while Northerners view Southerners as ignorant, slow, and too informal. This comes down to Southern preference of wanting to take time to get to know the person they are working with- his viewpoints, his family, his work habits, while Northerners want to get the job done quickly and in the most efficient manner with the least amount of wasted energy. I come from the South, and my drawl has elicited a ton of stereotypes about Southerners- the most prevalent is that I am not knowledgable.

Liable should any student be sued and proven innocent or falsely accused.
some one with, say a mac laptop, from putting a malicious PC virus on their laptop, & letting the screeners copy that to their databanks?
