Uh, I don't think Obama's appointments to the DOJ have anything to do with Bush's legacy... It's not Bush's fault we said "Wow, Obama's a technology literate candidate! Let's vote for change!" and then watched as he handed our collective asses to the RIAA.
On a scale of one to ten, I give this troll a nine. Great wordmanship, good subject, but no buildup. If you try for something more like a Bel-Air, you might have more luck. You have to sucker-punch people, and if you leave no mystery until the end, there's no oomph.
I wonder how many people will have their computers stolen by the RIAA before someone tapes a cellphone bomb inside one. Maybe they would think twice when a van full of "copyright enforcement agents" was exploded in a public place:\
You know, if ID was all that was taught in public schools, you would be heralding this law as the savior of our children.
The only reason you don't like it is because, rather than having to defend the current curriculum, you would prefer it if everyone just accepted your view of things. (whether it's factual or not, all ideas should be constantly re-evaluated. it's the only way to find new truths, and further strengthen what we already know to be true)
When has debate ever been a bad thing? Take creationism out of the equation for a minute, and read the law's wording again. It really only advocates the presentation of alternate viewpoints and debate! Yes, the creationists will probably try to use this. Big deal! If evolution is scientific fact, then open criticism will only make it stronger! Some people will say "oh, it will confuse our children." I guess they won't ever be confused by the real world, or have to discern which of multiple viewpoints is the correct one. Since when has making our children ill-equipped to handle real-life issues been a bad thing?
I know these articles always seem to serve as "hate the christians" fodder, but just for once I'd like to see people look at a law objectively. This is starting to sound like Digg:\
But it does tell you that your most optimal move is to expect them to hit it to your backhand. It'll tell the terrorists that Lane 1 is the best one to attempt to get through, statistically.
The very nature of botnet activities usually requires a coordinated effort. You can't DDOS a website with randomly-delayed attacks from each host, because then it wouldn't be a DDOS, just a slower increase in traffic. Spam campaigns usually only work for the first few minutes before services catch on, and then that particular spam campaign is over. Unless all the bots participate reasonably simultaneously, they can't accomplish their goals as well.
What do you say to the extremely intelligent scientists who DO believe in ID and have plenty of evidence to point to for the substantiation of their claims? I think the way the facts are interpreted, in some cases, is largely a matter of perspective. I tolerate your atheism; why won't you tolerate my beliefs as well?
Let's see... host on grandma's (non-geek) box, or a Linux/Solaris/whatever server on a DS3 (with sysadmins who will hunt you down across half the 'net). I am beginning to understand why they chose the way they did.
I can build a bomb without going to a silly camp. With enough determination, I could destroy anything I chose. When will people stop thinking "oh, if we just shut down all the 'dangerous' activities, we'll all be safe from terrorists"? It was communists, now it's terrorists - there's always a boogeyman.
They'll just go to 45 minutes of commercials per hour instead of the current 20 minutes per hour. Of course, overplayed advertisements are the reason I don't listen to radio anymore...
I was unaware that Macbooks have HDCP protection, but c'est la vie. I like the interface better than Windows, and the trackpad's ability to use multi-touch to scroll and right-click without using any buttons or special pad areas is awesome. The magnetic charger port is also a major sell. In any case, I don't want to topic hijack or sound like a rabid Mac fanboy - I'm just happier with macos, and I think it may be a better fit than Vista for *some* other people too.
I don't take issue with the system's speed or games. I have a problem with the protected content path, and other DRM technologies integrated even further into the operating system than any part of WMP11 was integrated into XP. If I'm going to buy or use an operating system, I expect it to be made with me (the consumer) in mind, not the interests big businesses have to limit my access and restrict my fair use rights. I recently switched to a Macbook Pro because of Vista, and I must say, I'm finding that it increases my productivity quite drastically.
How is this off topic? The big main fuel tank is orange, and the little white patches look like cream coming out. Is this so hard to figure out?? Maybe I should try writing for a third-grade reading level like regular newspapers. *insert frustrated smiley here*

That are guaranteed to fail within 9 years?
Funny, I thought that phrase was better used for romantic advances...

Didn't we just establish that the artists don't get fairly compensated anyway?

Yes?
So THAT'S how the Doctor's screwdriver works...
Are they being chased by a travelling chest on legs?
Your Zener diodes. Show me them.

And here I was thinking I was the only one who watched those stupid Jay and Silent Bob cartoons...
Definitely. It's not government secrets, or embarrassing facts about the war on terror...
Oh... Oh wait, I turned the radio off when the ads came on. What are you gonna do? Do I... Do I have to turn myself in or something?
You're probably one of those psychopaths who dream in perl, right?
