Despite Bush's beliefs, the treaty of Westphalia is still protecting the idea of Popular Soverenity. If Canada doesn't want newly paying citizens to return to their country of origin, and that country does want them to, it's Canada's call. Those citizens might risk problems like loss of citizenship, but if Canada wants to keep them and let them give their tax money to the Canadian government, then they're entitled to that. Unless of course, Bush wanted to start a war just to grab a few draft dodgers, but that's insane.
The United States is a Republic, or Representative Democracy, not a true Democracy.
The city-states of ancient Greece were true Democracies, for the most part since women couldn't vote. Native Americans had a form of true Democracy, except voting was just done at the tribal meeting when there was an important decision to make.
The Constitution was written before the invention of the telephone, and even the telegraph. It does, however, guarentee the right to counsel. Miranda, a small time thief in Arizona, got arrested for breaking into, and robbing, a pool hall in a town he was staying in. Because of previous convictions he was immediately apprehended. He couldn't afford a lawyer, so he represented himself. The D.A. at the time was only allowed to handle serious crimes for free, murder, rape, that sort of thing. Petty theft wasn't one of them. After he got sentenced Miranda issued a hand written letter to the Supreme Court, after he read the Constitution, and eventually the Supreme Court ruled that District Attornies were required to offer their services for ANY criminal case. They also made up some other requirements like the phone call. Miranda didn't know what his rights were when he was arrested, and the Consitution was interpreted to mean that a person has to know their rights before they're handcuffed.
Isn't it customary to capitolize all the letters of an extention when talking about just the extention? HTML is an acronym, but what does EXE stand for? Isn't it just an abbreviation for 'executable'?
Counter-attack against a DDoS? What about those poor defenseless packets? Dying on the battlefield. Brother fighting brother. That's... TERRIBLE! While it's childish, it's still kind of funny that SCO is usually the target of a DoS every month...
Wouldn't Apple be double taxed only if they bought the and assembled the iPod in France? France can't fine Apple for buying harddrives if they buy them from Taiwan, assemble them in Japan, and then ship them to France, they can only tax the imported goods.
That bit about Sports games is true, but how many people play sports games on their computer? Most people play them with friends, and they want a huge screen to it, so it's much more effienct to play the game on a TV with a console, than on a PC. Sure it's possible to use TV-out from your video card and port the picture onto the big screen, and you could hook up a few usb controllers, but jocks are lazy and not many are tech savvy enough.
If Darl is packin heat, then we should arm ourselves too, what if he starts up his own secret police force like the RIAA, and begins hunting people down that use Linux?
I've had it with SCO. I'm going to file a class-action against THEM for offending the good name of the human brain. The entire SCO group is comprised of humans, and despite popular opinion, they are all equipped with brains. This is abuse of technology, and I won't stand for it any longer... Pity I don't know how to file a lawsuit.
In seriousness, maybe a linux user that is also a lawyer could sue SCO for causing unwanted stress for fear of having to pay them a truck load of money?
At least one person has an orgasm during any standard screw session, that's why the orgasm was invented, to let us know we can stop and get on with our lives.

That's just not true at all. Due to a threat of a sit-in, or whatever pusaivness the public used, Windows 98 is being supported for a few more years, instead of being cancelled like it was supposed to be earlier this year. Windows 2000 is still supported, and so is Windows XP of course.
Windows 98 has been around for a few years now, and it's still supported. There are even patches that come out for IE 5. Considering how long support for other software products is, I think Microsoft has their head in the game.
You're definitely right about the cheap manufacturing of printers. I had a canon inkjet that I bought about 8 years ago, and it had the most infuriating loading mechanism ever designed. The computer that I bought with it eventually died, and I left the printer in a closet for about a year, when I tried to use it with my new computer because I rarely have to print, I dug it out of the closet, plugged it in, and it refused to work. The drivers weren't the problem, it was the paper loading mechanism, the printer wouldn't recognize that it had paper loaded.
I eventually got an HP, and I printed probably two hundred pages with it, then one day it started saying that the color cartridge was empty, so I removed the cartridge, put in a new one, and it printed three more pages, then said the black cartridge was broken, so I replaced that, one page later the color cartridge was broken again, and there was only text, I wasn't using any color ink through the entire process. I replaced both cartridges with brand new ones, but it didn't like them, so I got a hammer to the printer and relieved my stress.
Havn't bought a printer since. The ink is terribly overpriced, as an article on/. once reported it was more expensive than champagne.
Nuclear FISSION is just as bad for the environment as Coal and Gas are. Do you know where the spent nuclear waste is? In the United States it gets packed in rusty barrels, which are then welded shut, and then the barrels are buried in the desert. The barrels are also beginning to get corroded and waste is starting to seep out. I'm not a fan of acid rain personally, but I'd find it difficult to justify contaimenating the ecosystem with three armed apes.
The waste is ALWAYS a byproduct of nuclear fission plants, the meltdown at Chernobyl is a damaging event, but it's also very rare.
We need to get fusion technology perfected, then we have no nuclear waste, and no chance of meltdown, just maybe a containment field collapsing and a ball of plasma burning for a few minutes. So let's make it cold fusion, then we're totally covered, since we'd rather harness the same power the sun uses, instead of harnessing all the power the sun radiates.
I own the original UT, UT2k3, I have the UT2k4 demo, and I've got UT2k4 pre-ordered. I bought UT because it looked good, and it was. I bought UT2k3 because of name recognition, and it was a severe disappointment. They took out assault, fucked with the weapons, and even yanked the sniper rifle.
After I tried the demo for UT2k4, I realized that UT2k4 is what UT2k3 SHOULD have been. It's a true sequal, not an ugly stepchild sucking on the name that brought success.
I always thought that brake fluid just created pressure for the brake pads to squeeze the wheel and slow the car, I didnt know it actully touched the wheel.

Well mister smarty pants, if space were so big, why is it that we can only see it at night time?
I believe that Mercury does not have an atmosphere due to its proximity. So we're down to 8 planets now?

That's just foolish. The Universe was created by a giant beast that just sneezed it out. BEWARE THE COMING OF THE GIANT WHITE HANDERCHIEF!

Perhaps as a way to mock Microsoft, if you search google for "best search engine" one of the news articles that pops up is this very story on /.
