Although i completely agree with your post, your history is slightly flawed.
The first democracy was founded in Greece in 500 BC by Cleisthenes.
And as for a democracy with modern influence, try Rome, and the Roman empire? Rome largely shaped what was to come many different cultures, and had a great influence in the theatrical, physical, artistic, and philosophical sciences, and if Rome would have never come to power and influence., our world as we know it now would never had existed.
Number one is complete utter bullshit. How unlike (the usually great reporting of) PC world to pick on the 3 ton giant that is so popular in the news.
Its a great idea. Almost everybody uses it ages 16-21, and many use it 21-30. Its a great place to meet new friends (im talking about maybe reuniting with your long lost friends, or maybe meeting a friend of a friend, or someone at school. Not a stalker/child abducter, So dont even bring it up.), and its a EXTREMELY great way for new artists to get recognized. it seems to be the indie hotspot on the web today.
So what if it causes a few web browser hangs? Maybe if your "computer science" department knew what it was doing, it would use a STABLE browser, such as Firefox. I've been a user for myspace long before it was fameous, and ever since i started using firefox i havent gotten one browser hang.
Maybe why you hate myspace so much is because of how popular it is. It brings mainstream people (your jocks, frat boys, cheerleaders, etc) farther into the world wide web (which was once considered a sacred place for computer geeks) then ever before.
And just so you know, that "festering cyst" brings in millions of dollars for up-and-coming bands. that reason alone should keep it off #1 on the worst web list.
OBVIOUSLY PC World did not do its research in this article.
Hey, they could get in big trouble for that! its illegal to run linux on X-box! Those unscroupulus pigs!
Oh, wait... Except that there are big technological advances to be made out there, but researchers all across the USA are scared to death that they are gonna violate a IP law (such as the DCMA) and be whisked to jail, be sued, or worse.
I love the fact that these guys didnt let a little thing like a federal law stop them from inventing a solution that can help millions of people worldwide. They deserve a big kudos.
IP Laws that stifile scientific progress and humanitarian advances? Naw, never!
Why do we have to live in a country where intellectual property and B.S. politics are put before scientific research and advancement?
Jesus fucking christ, the fucking liberals always have to bring up mccarthy... hmm lets see,last time i checked, mccarthy != big brother.
Lets go over what mcarthy did, shall we? His goal was to rid the government of soviet communist spies. Hmm, seems like a good idea, right? Not to the liberals! jesus christ, evreybody flames him for blaming people of being soviet spies, but the little known fact is that hmm.. he was RIGHT. the one little thing that people neglect to mention is that the people who he claimed were spies, actually were spies. And lets get one thing clear for the morons. he wasnt heading up a big-brother campaign, he NEVER was a part of HUAC, and he tried his hardest to keep his findings private, until he was FORCED to in congress, by liberal senators.
am i the only one out there who doesnt go along with liberalist propaganda?
So Peter, next time you try to compare the likes of a great american patriot and stereotype him to the likes of an orwellian antagonist, how bout we do a litter reasearch, yes? 'Cause if you do, maybe next time you wont sound such like a moron.

This technology is discriminatory twards people who dont have hands (like vietnam vets) or who are parylized. MPAA- you good for nothing bigots!
Seriously though, what happens if you cut your finger, or you are paralyzed, or you burn your finger? how far will the MPAA go? Big brotherism? Beyond?
What nobody here realizes is that to be convicted, those boys have to be found of "Mens Rhea", or guilty mind. Basically, their actions have to of been malicious for them to be guilty.
If this isnt the most bit of liberal flamebait ive seen in a while....
you know im sick of posts like this being put in casually, when it has NO BUISSNESS (thats right- this is about hillary clinton and GTA, not our presidents, poor left wingers:( ) being in here.
Whats even more sad, is that some stupid idiot has to go and mod this 4 for being "insightful", when OBVIOUSLY its offtopic.
Liberals, bush won. The electoriates voted that he won. America as a whole, decided that he would be the better president. Hes (obviously) not a moron , and hes obviously not doing too bad seeing as well, evreyone is still alive (a feat i dont see liberals helping twards that at all, since all i've seen is them bitching...), but seriously. The elections over. You threw every bit of slander, jeer, lie, and ounce of deceit you had at him and he still won. so, to put it simpaly:
Its not so much that their two diffrent formats (As there will be at some point a combo drive, it always happens)... its the fact that there are going to be two _competing_ formats which means...
This is surely a nice idea, i personally hate having to use my mouse when mixing music, but i think the magic questions will be : Just how functional is this? Is it going to have a lot of flashy bells and whistles and doodads, or is it going to be efficent?
and of course, "just how many arms and legs am i going to have to give to have one?"
Great..... Evoting.... just another thing that 13 year old kids can hack... "Oops, mommy, i didnt know that what i did would place 30,000 votes for nader!"
soo...ok..
oh, GUT! you have to pay more money... for a whole lot of... nothing? yeah, thats right, a whole lot of nothing.
its sad how governments and buissness are trying to captatalize the internet, to make it into a selling tool.
