Anyway, Congress could force Bush to close Guantanamo any time they want.
Why would they want to do that? Don't you watch Colbert? Any person who was falsely accused and imprisoned in Guantanamo for all these years now harbor deep hatred for our Land of Freedom(tm) and would join the terrorists immediately upon their release. These animals must be kept behind bars at all costs!
In this case it would be like seizing your car if your friend borrowed it and used it to drive on a street where the cops suspect there might live a drug user.
Are you kidding? I want this technology in my fucking camera phone. Then I can point it at a chick and find out if she's over 18 or not.
18? That's way too inflexible.
The phone should have a internationalization feature so that using GPS and an online database it will figure out the age of consent wherever you are, where you're from, and all the relevant laws.
Wheel of Time? Isn't that like saying that Team Fortress or Counter-Strike have good PvP? What I mean is that PvP usually refers to MMO games with persistent characters, at least in my experience. Has the term changed to include ordinary multiplayer games?
No, the whole purpose is conserving gas. The more annoying it is to board that damn plane the less people will be flying. It's all for the sake of the environment.
I've always been confused at how they can say entropy "causes" the arrow of time. I understand how it could conceivably be used to measure the passage (and perhaps direction) of time, but cause it? It seems common sense to me that the increase of entropy occurs because of time, not the other way around.
Then again, I also have a problem with the entire idea of entropy. Order -> Disorder, ok, but who decides what's "more ordered"? Seems completely subjective to me. How do you figure out if some bit of energy is really "useless", or could conceivably be harnessed for work with sufficiently advanced technology?
No, I'm merely pointing out that you cannot say you "paid" for a Linux distro when in fact your money went towards supporting some apps which run on said distro. It's just not the same thing. He "paid" for the apps, not the OS. No where was I saying he wasn't generous enough.
Call me silly, but I "paid" for my copy of Linux. Instead of a licensing fee, I paid some in donations to various projects of utilities I use daily, from Firefox, to OpenOffice, to TrueCrypt, etc.
And do you also express your appreciation of Wikipedia by donating to the EFF?

You don't understand. McCain is 100% against torture (as defined by the administration).
Where exactly does the "dubious origins" phrase come from though? Not from the linked article.
Stalin wasn't a petty mass murderer.

Ok, I wanna meet this guy who smoked pounds of weed a day to show it could be addictive.
Communism, capitalism and fascism have one thing in common - they've existed in reality.
Nope, communism tried to exist in reality, and failed miserably.

I thought that was "Intelligent Design", not "Creationism". Are the two terms interchangeable now?

Not to mention the pictures which will soon be on sites of less .... legal nature.
What happens when OH NOEEESSSSS!!!! THE TERRRRRRISSSTSS! bumps up against THINK OF THE CHILDRENS!? We'll find out soon enough.
I always wondered why they didn't rename France to "Freedomland."

It is my company, my pencil, and I can do with it what I will.
Oh yeah? Just try marrying that pencil. I dare you.
Yes, so 4 3oz bottles filled with nitroglycerin is less dangerous than 1 4oz bottle?
Um, I truly hope you're not talking of Santa's elves.
He gets jealous.

The problem is when those "medium" settings both look and perform worse than the "full" settings of another game.

Scripts are for wusses. I'm doing this as a web service.
How does producing images that look like child porn without actually abusing children encourage crimes against children?
Same way selling white powder which only looks like cocaine encourages cocaine abuse?
True, and I do that a lot too. But quite often I want to go to a website that's (gasp) not linked to from the page I'm currently browsing!
You mean Space Indiana Jones and the Platinum Planet.
Maybe it's made of antimatter?
