Or do I mention that the government will revoke licenses of p2p users - regardless of content they share?
Or how about when the government doesn't like the political views you're espousing, bye bye license.
Or should I mention the practical aspects of how the bloody hell can a group (the legislative body) even pretend to understand the technology enough to license it?
Or do you propose that geeks would be the ones licensing it? Yeah, that makes sense, except for the simple fact that would be anethema to our geek culture. License? To communicate?
Thats so brutally assinine of a concept. We may as well just start licensing o2 intake...
a^3+b^3 = (a+b)(a^2 - ab + b^2 ), on the other hand, shows quite clearly that no matter what numbers a and b you pick, you end up, in your equation, with a negative number.
Badnarik explains that in his course on the Constitution.

In brief, a democracy always devolves into mob rule, whereas a republic as we designed it was supposed to protect minority rights. There are some things which it is just plain wrong to vote on.
As for the CPD... I'd say "What a joke", except it is NOT funny that only the Demopublicans are allowed into the debate. Anyone who isn't a Republicrat is automatically excluded - BECAUSE it would cause people to... GASP!... think about the issues... oh NO!
That implies that Mr Heston is the "peachiest pie in the sky" when it comes to defending RKBA... he is not. He is, like the NRA, weak and ready to compromise rights away at a moments notice.
The same Charleton Heston that said he didn't like AK-47s? That guns like that made him "nervous"?
Charleton Heston is the President of the NRA, but the NRA is by no means the steadfast defender of guns and gun rights that the media tries to portray him as.
Dunno how this is "news for nerds", but I do know that if this is as truthful as was his last "documentary", the master copies might as well be burned. (Pun intended..)
Moore is a hard leftist political hack. Not to defend Bush, but I can't STAND Moore's smug insipid grin when he thinks he has "proven a point", but he has only used half truths and many outright lies and logical fallacies to do so...
Alas, just as this award has gone to him for this, there are millions who will eat this stuff up for breakfast..

The morality of blocking pop ups?
How fscking assinine is that question???
What about the morality of throwing shit in your face that you don't want?
Because thats exactly what popups are, is throwing stuff at you.

America is NOT a "democracy", NOR SHOULD IT BE.
It was founded as a republic.

Ack!
What are they doing to me???!
Yes I read the post.

Who exactly would be banning "military stuff" from space?
... think about that. Some dudes with flowers and paintings and poetry are going to enforce a military-in-space-ban?
... no.
...
No
Uhhhh
If some group sets up a military in space, what would it take to get them to stop?
Another military in space.
I guess you MIGHT get points for idealism, but it's a dangerous and naive idealism
Linux is a stupid choice for a home desktop.
Is that so? The only thing I don't have on my desktop due to lack of windoze is games. Everything else, I have.
Please tell me how my choice to run linux on my desktop is stupid again?
As for choice - explain to me how Windows is CHOSEN as the desktop for most of it's userbase.
Oh wait - it isn't. It's pre-installed. Gotcha.
Equally, you might want to explain why the founders implicitly assume the private ownership of warships
... I just had one of those moments.
Ever have a moment when you say to yourself "No fucking kidding?!?"
As a long time advocate of RKBA and a student of the Constitution, I thank you for pointing this out.
BTW, what this poster is refering to is the Congressional power to "grant letters of marque".
False dichotomy ...
... ?
Ever stop to think that one can be against Moore AND the Neocons
Just because someone can't stand Moore, it does not make them a Republican or a Bush fan.
Moore lies.
Bush lies.
They BOTH have smug insipid grins when they think they have "scored a point".
They both stink!
Neither is a friend of REAL liberty and American values, as expressed in the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights.

That may be true, I don't have any games on my system except kasteroids and the like ...
But my overall point is that the gaming environment on linux still lags way, way behind Windoze.
On the related point of hardware compatibility, thats never a problem I have personally had with linux, but I've never owned esoteric hardware either.
Maybe someday I'll try out some of those games you mention, but I'll have to upgrade my POS videocard.
It's WAY better than the ussual stuff at plus five funny ;)
I just switched about three weeks ago from Debian to Gentoo, and so far I love it!
:^), but I find Gentoo as easy as Debian. BOTH are MUCH better than RedHat, IMHO.
emerge is as easy for me as apt-get was, and the only difference is I have to be patient with long builds. For me, thats a "so what" ?
I'd personally rather wait during the install, than wait while the machine is supposed to be running.
And while I am not a linux newbie, I certainly am no guru (yet
Anyhow, whatever *nix one chooses, it handily beats Windoze over the head except for gaming. *sigh*
Linux on THE desktop? Linux is on MY desktop.
Very bad precedent?

Thats an understatement if I've ever seen one.
