They were comparing processors that were priced the same. This is the high end price point. They have links to the low and mid range processor price points also.
There are some good arguments for and against this argument. An automatic expiration every so many years would reduce the problem of felons and dead people being registered. I'm not sure that would be worth the extra trouble though. I really haven't heard that proposal here in Alabama. From the arguments I have heard about motor-voter is that not everybody that gets a drivers license is a citizen. To state my own opinion: Every person with a legal right to vote should vote.
Ok, everybody else uses a popular vote system that allocates based of the proportion of vote won. It works alright for them, but most of them do not have federal systems. All power is concentrated at the nationl government. Most also do not have the separation of powers between branches that the US has. The problem of the popular vote system is it moves elections from the states to the federal government. It also means the president only has to represent population centers.
I would like to point out that one of the "intimdation" tactics the Republicans were accused of is telling people in states where it is required that they have to show id. Also the Republicans are the ones that have been pushing id requirments in the states. The Democrats have fought this requiment as being raceist.
Although this election was close, it was not close enough for any of there voting issues to be significant. 500 votes is within the margin of error in Florida. 150,000 votes in not in Ohio. Yes there were problems. There will always be problems when you are dealing with a country the size of the US. If you take every voting issue that may have been in Bushs favor and ignore all that were in Kerrys favor you still will be short tens of thousands of votes in every state that would need to change for Kerry to win.
How much can you tax the wealthy before they remove the wealth from your reach? They can invest their money in other countries. Could you define who you consider the wealthy? When current birth rates project a ratio of two people of working age for each retired person, are their enough wealthy to pay for the current system? Also if someone invests in a company and that company produces a profit then their has been an increase in the overall wealth of the society(economic growth), as well as keeping me employed. What is the effect of removing that capital from profitalbe enterprise and giving it to those that consume more than they produce? Could this not be the cause of the high unemployment and stagnant economy in Europe? A stagnant economy will stop a welfare state because of inflation. If the economy doesn't grow faster than inflation then tax revenue for the welfare state will not grow as fast as the costs.
The SSA is not related to HMO's or insurance companies in any way. They take money out of my check and when I reach certain age start sending money to me. Do you have the numbers for Medicare and Medicade? Please compaire apples to apples.
I think the argument here is that you are not paying anywhere close to what the "someone specific" is asking for it. The vast majority of the price is you pay is for a third party,the "middleman". My suggestion to fix this problem is a minor change in copyright law. Change the law so that artists cannot sign away the copyright to their work. If you want to reduce the share of the middlemen and still get the artist paid what the market is will for the quaility of work you need to ensure the artist controls his product.
It was a paddle style shifter, he could only go up or down. The computer prevented him from down shifting because of an overrev limiter. His emergency brake was also electronic and he was not able to engage it. He could not turn the car off because it did not have the standard key ignition. It was turned on by the swipe of a magnetic key card.
The Emergency/Parking break when adjusted properly will stall your car if you try to begin driving forward with it engaged. There effect on a moving car will depend on if the car if front or rear wheel drive.
This is why you should always drive a manual transmission. Push the clutch, put in neutral, coast to stop. Best case car stops when out of gas, worst case engine and tranny gone.
Congress already sets the pay scale of the supreme court. Also a safeguard not used often is the power of the congress to set limits on what the judical branch can review.
I live in Alabama, The air runs all day in the winter and uses a bunch more than 500W. This is not going to be a problem for the power grid. The main reason their are not many new power plants is one branck or another of the enviro-wackos goes crazy no matter what plant you try to build.
You are right that Europe was not afraid to send their soliders into Afganistan under NATO. They were afraid to send them into any areas that they might have to actually be soliders. For the longest time they wouldn't leave Kabul, when they did they only went to areas the US was leaving because the area was pretty well secured. When areas flared up the NATO personell left. I think the argument in this thread isn't the possible military capability of Europe, it's the lack of political will to produce and then apply.
Since this can carry people I doubt that it is as cheap as a caro only rocket. A good way to do things is to launch your components on a cargo only heavy lift device and then use this to ferry the people.
If you want some practical proof of this. take some US dollars to any country in the world. If it is a first world country the people might point you to a bank that will have an exchange rate to local currency. If you go to any second or third world country every person will take dollars. Many won't take euros or of currencies but they all will take US dollars.

I may be wrong, but isn't election fraud already illegel?

With a stagnant economy and low birth rate how do you plan to maintain the welfare state?
Isn't Matrox aiming at a completely different market sector than ATi and nVIDIA?
slow human growth. Thats easy, all it takes is a bunch of forced sterilizations or abortions. Or you can go the easy way and have a nuke war or two.

Don't the police usually serve official court documents?
Isn't this where evolution comes in? People make bad decisions, they don't reproduce. I'm all for letting idiots remove themselves from the gene pool.
With the most recent tax cuts couldn't you invest for dividends instead of growth? No company can grow forever.
No, no, no. The story is real, pesky facts like all the evidence being forged are not relevant at all.

Hmmm, I do believe that CS gas is considered a chemical weapon under the Geneva Convention.
