Nope, until he abolishes an involuntary income tax system, this is not a theocratic administration. I beleive one of the commandments says "Thou shall not steal".
They may seem just as much in favor of Big Government, but they're also in favor of me having a big fat wallet. That's why I like them (more). Yeah, I know that leads to inflation, but eventually America is going to have to wake up to the fact that giving money to the federal government is just like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. (thanks P.J.)
Everyone knew that Saddam had WMD at some point and that he was hiding something from the UN.
UN weapons experts showed this week that banned material is being looted and sent to other countries. Some untagged (undeclared) rocket components were discovered in Syrian scrap heaps along with tagged components and UN satellite photos showed a rapid dismantling of a missle site near Bagdhad from May '03 to Feb '04 (but couldn't we have done this? I don't get that part).

Have all the facts before you start calling people liars!
Unless WalMart bulldozed all of the mom 'n pops to build that store, then yes, they have a reasonable choice. You can pay more and have less selection, but you'll probably get better service at the mom 'n pop. That's a tradeoff. WalMart isn't pointing a gun in back of anyone who works or shops there. The union people want the government to step in and point guns.
They said NO to a thousand jobs too! That's because WalMart didn't pay union wages and why work 40 hours a week to get a couple hundred bucks when you can just stay on welfare and get the same amount? Yeah, those $25/hr union jobs will be coming anyday now. And so what if they're weasily? What are they doing that's immoral? Most of the time they benefit the community because the community wants to shop there and buy stuff for cheaper. The savings allow them to put money into the economy elsewhere or paydown their debt. The dividends on Walmart shares also go back into the economy.
1. Translation: "We, unlike you Euros, are the enemy of the terrorists. If you don't help us defeat terrorism, then you will be viewed as supporting terrorism. Since their threat is primarily directed towards us, but you stand to benefit through our security, you are obligated to help us." 2. Opinions are like assholes... Results matter. 3. Because some old farts in Congress want to get cute and protest French opposition to the war is why Bush is hated?? 4. Public opinion didn't protect the Jews in WWII or force Saddam Hussein to show his WMD programs. Let's put more emphasis on public reasoning or plain ol' doing what's right. Opinions are too easy to come up with. Ideas and action are more difficult, but they get us where we want to go.
ClamAV works like a charm. I just installed it yesterday, and it's already catching every variation of the worm. Tip: if you're installing on OpenBSD, use the port: http://www.fatbsd.com/openbsd/
they don't waste their time arguing about economics on a technology website. That goes for me too. This is pointless, yet I'm still engaging in this debate. In the few minutes that I've spent reading the comments (on my lunch break;), it becomes obvious that the protectionist/starving-programmer crowd will have the loudest message. Tell me, how does bitching about faceless corporations and their greed land you a job?
Aren't there more important issues that we need to addressed rather than these two silly little words? If you are so oppressed by them, stick your fingers in your ears! Bunch of babies! Gawd! The 1st Amendment was only trying to prevent a state sponsored church, like England's.
Here's an idea: let's assume it's possible to block out 95% of spam, and everyone can easily set this software up on their computer. What if some of those spammers being blocked were notified that I would be willing to read (glance) at their message for a quarter (or what ever price the user wanted to charge)? They would respond to some automated reply (challenge-response) and the spam would be delivered to my inbox. They could detect that I read their message with a hidden image in the message that connects to their server. The system could be set up so that you only saw messages that matched your interests. Just a thought.
The problem for the spammers is that they're catching on to the filters and just throwing more at them. There's more money right now in getting past the filters than creating better ones. We have Spamassassin here at work, and those picture-only emails are still slipping through from time to time. But there's too much effort on both sides being wasted in this vicious cycle. Let's call a truce on the filter wars, and let spammers pay us to read their stupid emails.
Wow, actually something positive coming out of that court. It seems all that court does is go to some extreme for a single group of people. This actually benefits the majority. It might just be an attempt to up their batting average.

Your typical IT project
Just goes to show that you should never underestimate the importance of good communication skills.

You bleeding edge browser users probably can figure out another way.
