Don't watch much 700 club do you. And as a whole Muslims don't threaten death either, its just a very voacal MINORITY of them that do. There are lots of christians calling for the deaths of abortion doctors and homosexuals but the news just doesn't report on them becuase they don't make as good a scapegote to blame all our troubles on as Muslims do.
Your just wrong. I'm the Systems Admin for a bank and 99.9% of the time when there is fraud/theft the bank has to eat the loss. We constantly get people calling and complaining about mysterious $19.95 charges on their debit cards to online serives. It's usually their husband or sons signing up for porn, but all they have to do is say they didn't do it and we have to refund their money. The laws are monumentally skewed in favor of the customer.
"complete crackpot pseudoscience."
Yah just like that crackpot that thought that the world was round when everyone else "knew" that it was flat.
Just becuase something isn't generally accepted as true doesn't mean its false (unless its been proven false). Even if their is only one true idea out of every 1000 crackpot ideas don't you think it was worth investigating them all to find that one true revolutionary idea.
I've seen lots of movies with the presidental seal shown in them, and I'm sure its popped up more than a few times on "The West Wing". So why isn't the White House suing the producers of those movies/series.
"Stop punishing the rest of us"
As far as I can tell from the article you will only be punished if you sell an ultra violent video game to a minor. So how is that punishing the "rest of us".
Accutally I seem to remeber a story about several efforts to setup Web Kisoks at refuge centers. For security resons I doubt they would use XP and IE on those machines. So this accutally could have quite and impact.
Any scheme that had multiple choice answers would be inherently crackable a certain percent of the time. If there were 5 multiple choice answers the odds of the crack succeading would be 1 in 5.
Welcome to the big blank space in history. With all research, creative writing, and personal journals being produced and distributed digitally in a thousand years all that information will be lost. It'll be one big empty spot in future history ebooks. Everything future historians will learn about us will come out of landfills.
But consider a large percentage of the "millions" of dollars going into AIDS research is public funds from goverments and money from private charity donations. So if a cure were found it sould be made availible to everyone that needs it, weather they can pay for it or not.
If your talking life and death now you have to consider their are a heck of a lot more people killed on the highway by speeders, drunks, cellfreaks than their are by home invations. So where do you think the cops should focus their resources.

Accutally Windows XP is more expensive than "Mac OS"
From Amazon: (OSX - $114) (XP Home - $187) (XP Pro - $248)
And we all know that beating up defenceless women in GTA has kept people from beating on their girlfriends, wives, and duaghters in real life... wait I guess you can't draw the same conclusion their.
If you don't like the avertisments don't go to the website. If you block the ads your costing the website money without helping them recoop their costs.
"This is the same industry that wants to put ads on screens above the urinals in restrooms, on electronic screens in shopping carts, and God only knows where else."
Do you think maintaining a urinal costs nothing. If you want to be able to releive yourself for free someone has to pay for cleaning, water consumption, maintence.
You get paid for the services you perform at work, web based commpanies need to get paid for the services they provide too.
I like your logic. I think I'm going to start shooting people at random on the street. That should force the clothing manuafacturars to start producing bulletproof garments. Which could only be a benifit to the clothing industry.
I wouldn't be suprized to learn that the card processor with the most lax security was aslo the one providing the service for the checpest price. I find that most companies will trade security fro $CASH$ anyday.
"I think VoIP takes about 384Kbps (someone correct me if I'm wrong) of synchronous bandwith."
Your wrong:) No Voip I know of takes up that much bandwidth. Even at its highest bandwidth setting Vonange only uses about 90k.

"whereas tracking and killing innocent animals on foot is just fine."
Unless your a veegan you don't have much right to talk about killing innocent animals. becuase I bet that the deer that gets shot buy some hunter had a lot better life than the cow that you just ate in your Big Mac. I have no problem with hunting animals as long as you eat what you kill. Thats why I don't aggree with catch and realease fishing, you harm/terrifiy the poor fish just for sport.
Maybe not prostitue-murderers, but I could see it making them more likly to solve problems with violence. Say like slapping their kid around to stop them from crying. Or beating on their wife when things go badly at work.
Your the idiot, nowhere in the article does it say anything about the NNTP protocol. There are plenty of browser based news severs out there, and most of them are not front ends to a NNTP server (http://groups.google.com/ for instance). Just becuase they don't use the NNTP protocol doesn't meen there not news servers. If I use your logic webmail isn't realy email becuase you don't access using a POP3 client, Hotmail and its like do not use the POP3 protocol to retrieve or display your mail but there still email clients.
Maybee now their be a huge influx of commerical investment in space flight like their was for the Internet awhile ago. Of course having your space bubble burst sounds a lot more life threating than having the Internet bubble burst.
"It was up to saddam to prove that he didnt have any weapons."
Reminds me of the good old Spanish Inquisition
Inquisitor: Prove to me that you are not a witch.
Suspect: I'm not a witch really.
Inquisitor: Here I'm going to dunk you under water for ten minutes if you survive you're a witch.
**** gurgling sounds *****
Inquisitor: Well she might not have been a witch, but she was a heretic. And the world is safer without her.

Yah relegions kill people when they get proven wrong by them, while scientists prove their theories by killing people. (i.e. Atomic Bomb)

Has no one else seen the connection between the populairity of pacman and a sudden increase in childhood obecity.
There's plenty of art out there thats in the public domain by now. Just visit your local library with your laptop and a hand scanner.
