They have that... I believe it's scientology.org.
Wikipedia is not the place for it. If you read the scientology related articles, they do a very good job of presenting both sides of the story. The reason scientology is banned is because they have a LONG history of deleting all negative viewpoints, and even whole articles on things like David Miscavage, The Fishman Affadavit, OT3, Tommy Davis, and Xenu, just to name a few.
The reason that they were banned was not to disallow them their viewpoint, but rather that they were constantly disallowing others' viewpoints.
haha, my house growing up also had a 'no toy guns' rule. I wasn't even allowed to have GI Joes... which is probably why I now own five real guns, shoot all them regularly, and carry a CC Permit.
You obviously don't have a 2 year old niece then, who screams bloody murder if she gets anything that's not pink, and throws it at her little brother. We can't even wrap her presents in paper that's not pink... she won't open them.
She wasn't taught that, and the family has tried not to encourage it, but that's just how she is. Hopefully she'll grow out of it.
GM bought Opel in 1929 and Vauxhall in 1925. It wasn't like they just bought them out recently to acquire their new and exciting diesel technology.
I believe that they are mostly designed in Europe though, by European GM engineers.

On the Thinkpad T43 I opened yesterday, it's right under the palm rest. You can get to it by removing about 8 easily accessible screws. I'd imagine most laptops have one.

Here's a review. Best soda ever made. I don't know what I'll do if I ever move out of Southern Illinois, because I can only find it in about a 50 mile radius of my house.
"Now ask yourself this, how many "free lunches" did these scum-bags enjoy at the cost of innocent, and possibly naive, people who found a great deal on the web and really didn't know any better?"
I wouldn't say it was totally free... the scum-bags seem to be paying for it now.

(Actually there actually IS an Absolute Truth, but it doesn't contradict an Individual/Group Truth as well, it includes every Truth consciousness can dream of..)
What if my individual Truth is that my personal concept of Truth is the only one that is true, and that it is true for all people? Would your hypothetical Absolute Truth(tm) contradict that?
For example, say that I believe that the teachings of Jim Jones are Absolute Truth, and the teachings of Jim Jones include that ONLY the teachings of Jim Jones are Truth, and that no other truths exist in alternate dimensions or anything. Aside from the high probability that I'd be dead, how can both I and say, a Moslem be correct at the same time? How can your Absolute Truth reconcile both sets of incompatible beliefs?
I'm sorry, it seems like you're saying that absolute truth is that X and !X are both true at the same time. If the two are all-encompassing and contradictory statements, I can't see how this is possible.
However, buying someone's vote is a whole lot less risky if you can get proof they voted the way you paid them too (sic)
Interesting. Perhaps this is the reason why Congress is so corrupt. Too bad we can't keep their voting records away from corporations, lobbies, and interest groups.
I don't think that you need them, I'm only stating that they exist, and that the US government hasn't yet ruled on their legality. I am of the opinion that they are largely unnecessary, but I merely said that I wasn't sure that the US court system would agree with me. I feel that your vacuum cleaner analogy holds up fairly well logically, but I don't think that the average tech-undeucated justice would be able to discern the similarity.
Correct me if I am wrong, but iPod is not a computer software, is it? it is a music player, no
Both. It is a music player device that contains music player software. If there is a license agreement, I imagine that it would probably be in the manual somewhere - I've noticed that computer software often includes the EULA in documentation, even if it has a click-through license elsewhere.
When if at any time do you get to agree to anything when buying it?
This is why they are terribly unfair in their current implimentation. Anecdotally though, I have heard cases where manufacturers have taken back opened products because the user didn't agree with the license upon reciept.
I'm not so sure about that. If I buy a used computer with Windows 2000 Pro on it, am I not subject to the same license agreement as the original buyer? If not, then I have no right to use it at all, since the agreement is the very thing that gives me the right to use the software in the first place. In this case, there is no explicit agreement to the license by the second owner, but there is an implicit agreement, since most EULAs begin with something along the lines of "By using this software you agree that..."
I would think that with an ipod, the agreement is totally implicit from the get-go, since I doubt there's a EULA popup the first time you turn it on (I could be wrong). Legally, at least in the US, I would think that our current court system would tend to agree that the EULA holds regardless of who owns the software, or what terms they obtained it under (it would hold true for pirated software as well). In other countries, YMMV. Unfortunately, we have no legal precidence either way on whether EULAs are legal or not in their current common forms.
I would also maintain that the ipod license is not for the hardware, but for the software that resides on it.
Real digeridoos come from the wood of the Australian mallee tree, and are naturally hollowed out by termites of the genus Coptotermes (according to this).
In other news...
Harvesting of natural digeridoos takes away the habitat of the Australian termite. Synthetic digeridoos are not biodegradable and cause other environmental concerns. Therefore the Green Party cannot, in good conscience, support the use of any digeridoos.
More likely, Apple will release a iPod update with COOL NEW FEATURES L@@K which oh yeah, btw, breaks compatibility with real-purchased songs.
It may sound harsh, but I'd venture to say that people who purchase anything from Real deserve what they get, even if the problems are not Real's fault in this case.

Didn't the UK define terrorist to mean 'American radio presenter that we don't like?'
After reading the wiki, I think it sounds at least as plausible as Scientology. Which is to say, not at all.

Blast past the atmosphere to the last frontier

The skies the limit but they're limiting the sky
I break orbit by habit, ignite satellites and leave rings round the planet
A flying ace like that beagle
Nevertheless this alien remains illegal
'cause their discovery don't cover me
the immigrant's been left in the cold to grow old and disintegrate
discriminate against the distant and disclaim this
cause small minds can't see past Uranus
But I shun their rays, 'cause stuns just a phase
And my odyssey runs in two thousand and one ways
And I can see clearly now like Hubble,
Shoved off the shuttle, here's my rebuttal
It's a planet
Who you represent? I represent the smallest planet
Attorney in this tourney versus those who've tried to ban it
If you don't agree go see Interplanet Janet
Cause sun is star, like Pluto is planet
Lend me all your ears and let me state my case
About all the types of satellites you must embrace
Cause like my parents, great grandparents
This planet was an immigrant
To deport it makes no sense
It's an upstanding member of the solar system
Apply the laws of earth and make it a victim
Of Proposition 187
When Pluto spawns a moon it will apply to the heavens
I will damn thee like Judas of Iscariot
If you demote this mote remote to affiliate
It's like taking ET's custody from Elliot

While I agree that Bowling for Columbine would incite homicidal rage in many people, I think that it didn't come out until after the school shooting.
