You know what...your right. We should not liberate people from twisted and demented dictator such as Saddam and his two fucked up sons.
So with that said, the US should never have help Europe fight against the Germans in WWII. Hitler is such a nice guy. He never killed any jews, right? I mean, we never need to send troops to Normandy in France. Like you said, it will all work out on it's own.
If this sound outragious, that's because it is!. Now, apply this level of thinking to the current situation in the middle east and that is exactly what your trying to convey.
If I'm reading between the lines, your saying Saddam shoud have been left in power along with his two sons. Yes?
Also, get your facts right. Bush is a conservative, NOT a liberal.
"Fuck yeah you will!" "Don't try this emotion bullshit with me, because you're the one who has been riled up into a "freedom is...good!"
Sounds like your the emotional one to me, not I. And I don't give a damn about the history about the middle east. It means nothing in your argument because EVERYONE desires freedom. Unfortunately, it takes force to pave the way in that part of the world. But it's the for the better.
Oh, and in case you haven't been reading the news, Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi agrees with bush and is thankful we Americans jumped in to liberate them. Talk about egg on the face to those that opposed this war in the first place. I must admit, I'm grinning. Talk about Iraq giving Europe and the UN the finger. Ohhh the sweet irony!
Well, you can't make an omlet without breaking a few eggs. Seriously, all rewards come with risk.
And it's about damn time we have a president that can draw a line in the sand. We need to stop being so damn sheepish about dictators around the world such as Saddam and N. Korea. The drop of the gauntlet was long over due IMHO.
Now that the stage of truth has been set, lets act it out for the betterment of mankind.
Some of these examples are valid, but not all of them. Let me respond ot those that are not valid.
How about the almost unprecidented act of actually sending the country to invade another country which wasn't even at war with anyone?
Saddam agreed to let weapon inspectors back in the country to look for WMD and to explain the missing batches of chemical weapons that was found earlier (according to the UN). But he did not, and he had YEARS to comply. But he did not. Thus the invation was needed to inforce the resolutions. In case you haven't notice, we will not stand for playing games with a dictator. In fact, I'm angry we didn't invade sooner before 911.
How about doing nothing at all on September 11th, 2001 for nearly half an hour after news that the second plane had struck the world trade center, then hopping in Air Force One and doing more nothing?
He did nothing because he could do nothing. He was waiting for all the data to be put togeather from military intelligence. In the mean time, the Airforce sent out jets after the second plane hit. Mean while...soon after the Pentagon got hit. Talk about total anarchy at the time. Despite this evil act put forth by Osama, it was a brilient modern day war strategy! We got FUCKED hard! Now, we are repaying the favor. I'm sure Osama learned that payback is a bitch after we wiped out almost all of the Taliban.
though I guess it's nothing compared to a thousand US soldiers who had to die in the aforementioned irrelevant war of invasion and the ensuing occupation.
Even if 10,000 soldiers died, it would be worth the cause to free Iraq and set forth an example of democracy to the rest of the middle east. Unless...you prefer tribal warfare and dictatorship to rule the part of the word as it has for thousands of years. I will give you the benefit of the doubt though. I'm being nice today.
And remember, freedom ALWAYS has a price of LIFE to pay. The less you fight for it, the quicker it slips away. Hell, expect China to go through it's own civil war in our lifetime. And if we aren't carefull in America, we will end up with another civil war of our own. People should stop being emotional (like most liberals are) and start thinking logically.
I've heard the same old BS. "Bush is evil, he's the worst president ever" While other say Kerry is weak and will compromise America to a bunch of thugs that make up the UN.
So enough of this already. I want YOU Mr AC to tell us why you think Bush the worst president? Keep in mind the current crop of current event now, don't give us a bunch of hyperbole, ok?
Sony wanted to do MP3 a long time ago, but it was their devision tied to the entertainment industry that FORCED them to use a propritary format...such as ATRAC3.
It's just a legal roadblock and civilwar for sony, not one of ignorance.
The problem isn't about N. Korea using these Nukes. The REAL fear is not if, but who they plan on selling them to on the black market. You have to remember that N. Korea is a major exporter of weapons. It's only a matter of time now that some rag-head in the name of Alah drives a Honda Civic with a nuke in the hatchback to downtown *name your favorite city*. Talk about your ultimate car bomb!
The middle east has a natural resource in demand around the world. And, they want to sell it on the open market...which they are. It's called OPEC. If anything, the western world is alowing the middle east to thrive.
Just imagine if there was no oil for them to sell. They would prolly be left with lots of sand, rugs, and camels. I'm not saying this is bad, but the sell of oil has made their life richer as a whole.
That's right, keep your head in the sand while your at it....
Seriously, you can't just ignore the problem and how it would be the "diplomatic" thing to do in order maintain peace. it does NOT work that way!!!
Saddam and Kim should have been taken out long ago. But now this shitstorm has gotten so outta hand that now the US is the only one with balls to stand up and DO something about it.
Enough of this shit, fucken take N. Korea out!! Just glass the place. The people are already suffering and country has no future. If anything, ANY change to the country could only be better for the people of it. Living in oppression is not an option.
By the way, if I was living in N. Korea, I would WANT to be invaded. At least I might have a better life afterward...if at all after a war.
I'm not sure why they say that in the FAQ. But some of the Scientific Atlanta VOIP Modems DO have a battery pack mounted to the side. It's enough to provide a few hours of calling.
If a corporation is able too, they will contract out...like Dell. It's easy. Just hire and fire at will. Also, if oyu fuck up, they will not get sued. Rather YOU will. Also, the do not have to pay benifits to you.
Temp work = fill em jobs. They don't care about your future with the company. They just need a helping hand.
I find it interesting that technology is changing at such a fast pace that not even all the lawyers in the world can keep the government up to speed. And honestly, this bothers me.
Such changes in our world will make or break the effectiveness of national security. I can only imagine some form of preemptive laws and agencies put into place to limit our freedoms in the name of national security. If my fears come to pass, I'm afraid terrorism has won the war.
Then again, I have heard voices in the wind (sort of speak) about a new Patriot Act II...
I thought the US Gov had to mandate that all VOIP systems are to be tapped when needed? I guess this COULD be used by terrorists according to the patriot act.
Sorry Nintendo, I guess it's game over for all of us.
I would say Bill Gates doesn't mind. In fact, he might even give away a special edition of Window just so he "indoctrinate" the youth and thus lead that generation to the life of Microsoft. Think about it. Once your a Windows user, most people stay that way. But if you started off using Mac, then that will be your religious..err..I mean..user friendly path in life.
Then it is FTL if the transmission is instantaneous. I mean FTL in that because it's instant from point A to point B in teleportation (so I'm assuming), then such a method would be far faster then say....using radio waves or a beam of light.
Imagine being able to control Spirit on Mars in "real-time" or a network that spans all of space. But the question is how does the recipient know when to expect such a transmission? I can only think of using a synchronous fax like system involving atomic clocks at both ends to keep the system in sync.

You mean "Rescue Rangers"?
The only thin missing from this picture is Might Mouse and Danger Mouse.

We already have people suing video game manufactures and the fast-food service industry. So ya, it's all about lawer looking for the next gold mine.
People involved in lawsuits like this are NOT in for the justice. They just want BLING BLING $$$$$ cash!!
If I'm reading between the lines, your saying Saddam shoud have been left in power along with his two sons. Yes?
Also, get your facts right. Bush is a conservative, NOT a liberal.

What's next? People sueing TimeWarner or AOL for getting them addicted?
It WILL happen sooner or later. And at the very least, expect the attept to be made.
Ya, call me cynical. But do I have a reason not to be in this age of "$$$ Jackpot Justice $$$"?
Well, you can't make an omlet without breaking a few eggs. Seriously, all rewards come with risk.

Seriously, I wish I could mod a PC case to look like HAL 9000. It would be so retro cool in my appartment.
Wouldn't SP2 running an AMD 64bit be safe? I though the No Data Execute feature was supposed to prevent this kinda shit from happening.

God damn KFG! I personaly admire most of your posts, but THIS one is just full of hyperbole.
Please tell me your Slashdot account was hijacked! *sigh*

Fact = Cowboy Neal did NOT suck dick in the past 7 days.
Fact = You take drugs, but your usage of them are not illigal.
Fact = Your IQ is questionable
Yes, these are all facts. But it is how they are stated that sets a false primise to the topics at hand.
They could have had to cut down entire forests for the paper needed to do the math by hand.
Move along now, this movie has already been created. It's called Species and it was released in 1995.
If a corporation is able too, they will contract out...like Dell. It's easy. Just hire and fire at will. Also, if oyu fuck up, they will not get sued. Rather YOU will. Also, the do not have to pay benifits to you.
