have that can explode like this? All I can think of are all those cheap electrolytic caps. They really do put on quite a show, don't they? Put the transformer up on the roof, ok?
You know, not everybody has to be coerced into acting in a civilized manner. You can say they have true "religion" in their hearts. You seem to be convinced that corruption amongst the authoritarians is ok since they serve the "greater good". So tell me, who DOES get to write the rules of engagement? Looking back at your previous post convinces me that your ideas aren't exactly "normal". In fact it appears you're trying to justify the Iraq war. I get this small inkling that you might be in the military, trying to justify what you do.
...a marine is a much more moral person, even if he kills a thousand people, than a code pink protester, trying to help, even if you end up killing way too many people, is *always* a better act than doing nothing...
See, now I know you're nuts, and really can't take you seriously. But I certainly would like to make sure you have no weapons. We all can live without your version of "help".
Keep in mind that there are still hyena's, and they *still* try to eat babies. There is a reason that they are wiped out in cities.
Damn! I thought it was to keep them from knocking over the garbage cans.
As far as the rest of your post goes, "better" is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I'm not basing my argument on the bible. I just call it as I see it.
Ah, but through us nature has acquired sentience, a conscious, and self awareness. We are as much a part of nature as everything else. We are inseparable. So in that light, maybe nature does value life after all.
That would still be the "same" value though, right? I'm just saying that no one life is more valuable in the eyes of nature. As a counterpoint, if life had no value to nature, there wouldn't be any, anywhere in the universe. But here we are...jammin' till the jam is through...
or d) continue to rip off the customer because they can.
Looks like they picked d). and leave us no choice, except to demand that the government take over the infrastructure and lease it out, not to the higher bidder, but to ones who will provide the best access. We need an alternative to the corporate ball and chain.
You did note the quotation marks, right? I was picking nits by comparing it to the more obvious atrocities being committed today. Every war is a battle amongst pirates and their empires. To claim one side of the party is weaker than the other is absurd. To say that Bush has done a "fine job" is infinitely more so. The only weakness both sides of the party show is in the actual defense of real freedom.
It's a parody. It could be taken down temporarily until the matter is settled. Then somebody can demand another takedown, rinse, repeat, ad nauseum. Pretty cool, huh?
Murder is killing for anything other than personal self-defense. Killing for the state is murder. Killing to save yourself or family is debatable in that we are not to judge whose life is more "valuable". To nature, all life carries the same value.
The DMCA is working exactly as intended. To help stamp out alternative methods of distribution and protect the entrenched publishing industries. The only abuse here was committed by the people who voted for and reelected the politicians who enacted this law. I don't get it. You people wanted near infinite copyright. You want 100 years of war. Well now you'll get it. You have been given what you want, and now you're complaining about it. A more schizophrenic bunch I've never seen. The government is acting on the will of the majority. All this blathering about corporate and government conspiracies is just so much bull. Quitcherbellyachin' and vote them out if you don't like it! That or admit once and for all that majority rule is a miserable failure.

Otherwise, we'd have to argue that rocks and managers are sentient :-)
I'll give the benefit of a doubt to the rock.

Time for you mental midgets to start remembering IP addresses. Do your own damn cacheing.
It's a JOKE! Alright?

Oh no, we're paying for those ads. Through throttling and tiered, lousy service.
You're right. It hates you :-)
"Nature" is not a sentient being...
...and should not be anthropomorphized.
:-)
Ah, but through us nature has acquired sentience, a conscious, and self awareness. We are as much a part of nature as everything else. We are inseparable. So in that light, maybe nature does value life after all.
Yes, I've heard it hates that
To nature, all live carries NO value.
That would still be the "same" value though, right? I'm just saying that no one life is more valuable in the eyes of nature. As a counterpoint, if life had no value to nature, there wouldn't be any, anywhere in the universe. But here we are...jammin' till the jam is through...
considered "unfortunate"? I would consider it an opportunity for those seeking a job. Isn't that a good thing?

Then tell all the big site owners to cut out all the tube clogging, virus riddled advertisements. Or charge them extra for it.

that both sides could use 'equally' would not achieve the desired end.
What the hell does that mean? Since when is the tool more important than the message?
You'll regret it if a Dem is elected.
Oh, I don't know. Roosevelt, Kennedy, and Johnson did "ok" for us. Bush got the wrong guy.

What other party? Only got one. And it should be voted out of power. Nothing's gonna change until then.
Do you Google? The language is fluid, not stone. Live with it.

Ok...but no fair using gasoline or other "accelerants".
How many Libraries of Congress can the lighter burn down?
404 forbidden...Assholes!
Don't need to
And if you don't believe me just tell me one MS innovation that doesn't have roots in other programs.
Find me any "innovation" that is entirely original.
