You'll be disappointed, sounds like. After the brutal asskicking our Gropenator received in 2005 from the voters (zero for 8 on his precious referenda) Governor Gangbang had to come crawling back to the Legislature and kiss Dem ass. And he'll keep doing so if he wants to get anything done; the Dems OWN this state (California governors have virtually no real power of their own save for the veto pen - the legislature calls the tune). You should come watch - watching a neutered Arnold crawling and begging for votes is great fun. I hope he stays governor for a long, long time.
What is this "BSD" that you speak of? I suspect you're just making stuff up, trying to be funny. I've never heard of "BSD", and I'll bet no one else here has either.
You got TR'ed for that, and I'd make an argument that you shouldn't have been, becuase it's friggin' true. It's gonna be real interesting what happens when the Third World hits the interweb en masse.
Give a Bosendorfer grand (or a Steinway, but the Bosendorfer is just that little bit better) a whirl and you'll be tossing that Kurzweil in the garbage:) Talk about "high-end mechanical switches"!
Can't resist replying to a musician's post. I'll go sit quietly again.
You must be joking. The Democrats will do what they've been doing for the last 12 years, which is rolling over onto their backs, spreading their legs, and begging the GOP to fuck them harder.
To give you a little bit of perspective, I've worked for several Alesis dealers, the first back in 1985 when they were just getting off the ground.
The company loves to sue. LOVES to.
And they don't particularly care about the consequences, even if it hurts them. I've watched them pull product from major accounts because they'd gotten into some tiff with the store over policy.
I'd keep your discovery under wraps.
And, for what it's worth, I'd avoid working there.
Your idea is great. Then I, and many other users, go straight back to dial-up. Don't think the ISPs aren't aware of this, either.
For that matter, don't think the content providers aren't aware of it as well...without the bogeyman of 'piracy' they'd have to explain to their shareholders why it is that their revenues keep on falling, yet they continue to put out the same insipid, unlistenable/unwatchable crap.
Easier to blame 'piracy' and to continue to do business as usual for everyone involved.
You're advocating letting the stupid/desperate/uneducated/terrifed/gullible become prey for the first unscrupulous doctor or drug company whose path they cross.
In a society where every member goes to medical school and has access to the same infomation that drug companies routinely supress (Vioxx, anyone?) your idea would be a great one. As it stands, though, I agree with the sentiment that what you're advocating is "libertarian hogwash".
Damn, dude, kick over the chessboard and go home, why don't you. The guy has some debatable points, but all you do is throw a bitch fit and walk away.
I know it sucks, but it's 2005 and not the glory years of 1998-1999. Your taste in music is dated and at this point in history, now completely irrelevant. Get over it. You're old. It sucks. Move on.
Please read my post, since you failed to before responding.
I never said that an independent politician was a bad thing. All that I'm saying is that if a politician chooses to cross the will of the majority of their party, they cannot expect that party to continue to support them. Both parties do this.
Frankly, I'd like to see political parties abolished here. They are destroying America. Blue vs. Gray all over again. You'd think we'd have learned from what happened 140+ years ago.
Yeah, the guy who was going to (I can't even write this without laughing) cut down the Brooklyn Bridge with a blowtorch was such a threat. I mean, he could have done that in only a few days! Not that anyone driving by would have noticed or anything.
Please. Give us a better example than that. This guy was less of a threat to America than you are.
I'm not certain what you mean by "less kind intent".
No Democrat would deny Senator Lieberman the right to say or do anything that he likes; but if he's going to insist on taking a position contrary to what the majority of his party believes in, he will not get the support of, or access to, the resouces of the party - plain and simple.
The Republicans coined a term for this kind of politician as they also have a few mavericks who refuse to toe the party line...they call 'em RINOs (Republicans In Name Only). We have a DINO in Mr. Lieberman.
oxygen + burnable substance + ignition source = 7 dead astronauts, debris everywhere, tedious public handwringing from our "public servants" and Chinese/Russian/European owndership of space.
Boy, is this long overdue. This man bears a lot of responsibility for the current lack of confidence in the legitimacy of our elected officials and elections.
Whether or not you believe that elections in this country were stolen, you must admit that Diebold's response to questions about the security of their machines and software have, to put it mildly, not been helpful.
I couldn't agree more. Once Verizon starts having to pay me to not put a pickaxe through the line they ran across my property (instead of taking my property for their use via easements/eminent domain) then we'll start seeing what these services really cost.
Clue: without government intervention, it's going to get pretty fucking expensive.
What an antiquated idea, that a Designated Federal Bribetaker® would listen to its constituents. News flash: they don't care about voters or their letters. Only corporate contributions.
Wrong-o, chimp. I feel bad for the troops because they're a bunch of minimum-wage earners who don't give the orders, didn't come up with the insane "plan" to invade Iraq, and don't particularly want to be there.
In short, they're regular guys with a shitty job that they're not allowed to quit.
Now, Chimpy McFlightsuit and the rest of his cabal of criminals ought be hauled out and shot. But this guy isn't one of them.
To set you straight, the only axe I'm grinding is that of "get those poor fuckers out of that hellhole formerly known as Iraq right fucking now". No other.
I'm about as left-wing, liberal and Democrat as it is possible to be. Read my posting history, it shows.
I just have to say this: You're a dick. Straight up. You think this soldier ordered the war? You think he made the policy decisions that led to Iraq's destruction? No. He's just some guy making about $10 an hour, trying not to get killed, all for the dubious reward of trying to save ungrateful shitheads like yourself. So go fuck yourself with the largest pointy object that you can find.
Bash Bush and the decision makers all you like...I'll be right in there with you. Bash a soldier and I'll tell you what a worthless piece of crap you are. Bash one in range of my hearing and you won't do it again.
You'll notice I sign my name. "Anonymous Coward" fits you like a glove.
One day you will look back on your life. You will remember that you posted Rush lyrics to Slashdot in a misguided attempt to be meaningful. You will be so very, very ashamed.

the "nutcase" left a long time ago.
However, I also agree, IPCop is probably a better way to go.
There's a crapflooder here on the trolltalk SID who has proven quite nicely that captchas don't, and can't, work.

Demand hearings? Not a chance.

I can't tell if you're serious or a right-wing troll trying to give left-wingers a bad name.
On the off chance that you're serious, please kill yourself now. You're not helping.
