The vast majority refused to hold those responsible for trafficing humans accountable by turning a blind eye too. Ever heard of "guilty by association?" - Like standing by and letting your friends commit a crime...
You're perception of Americans being blamed for slavery comes from reading history written by Americans. Africans, Europeans, and Americans were involved in catching, shipping, selling, and buying slaves.
You're not aware of American ships involved in the slave trade because you were not alive...
I had my identity stolen without the use of my SSN and it took me several years to clear my name. In short, a small, scrawy, red-headed meth-head tweaker got a drivers license issued by the state in my name. I was lucky enough to have a detective on the other side of the state alert me a day before a warrant was to be issued in my name.
So in a six month period this idiot was able to get my license suspended in three counties, multiple traffic violations, driving without insurance infractions, driving a stolen vehicle, and countless drug dealing and drug possession charges.
Can someone do damage without your SSN? F$CKiN A! I spend countless hours appearing in front of Judges, DA's, Court Clerks, Law Enforcement Officers, and lawyers and regardless of how much evidence I had, I was regarded with contempt and suspicion until someone could verify I wasn't lying and pardon me.
In the end they caught the son of a bitch and he did 18 months for the Identity Theft charges (He's still in pound me in the ass state prison due to all the other charges in his name and my name). The interesting point is that I had to argue in front of a judge that it would be pointless to keep a drug charge on my record that I didn't commit just so that they could track the crime back to me from his record. By the way, they dropped the drug charges because he pled guilty to ID theft (that's how I got the last stain on my record removed). Government...
The time I lost in wages (I was a contractor at the time) and the hell he put me through trying to clear my name which isn't easy when people look at their computer screens and think your a drug dealin dope fiend is enough for me to hope he's still being anal raped by some large man named Bubba. So you ask the question can someone cause damage without your SSN? They could send you to prison if you don't find out in time and clear your name. All they need is a few corrupt government employees and your first and last name.
The idea that the universe is so small that these two droids would end up on the same planet talking to familiar people like Ole Ben and 3P0's creators son is as likely as the life elsewhere in the universe, the big bang, and truth at the Whitehouse.
Someone delete this guys account! Massive ammounts of disk space is a geeks best friend in this day and age. I keep everything I need from software, tech books, reference material, tools, databases, personal and work files, games, mp3's, and movie. Hell, I've got almost close to 800 gigs of data - mirrored on several servers at home. pffhhh....
You have firefox so maybe there's hope for you...
All HAIL StCredZero!!! All HAIL StCredZero!!! OH SEATTLE CAN YOU SEE, ALL THE WIFI ACCESS!!! All HAIL StCredZero!!! All HAIL StCredZero!!!
and i thought i was the only one who had seen that movie...
Can we have one day in this world where we don't discuss Hitler and his Nazi's. Every time I turn around and browse the internet, or change channels on the TV, I see Nazi this, Hitler that. pffhhhh...
I gotta get me one of those. I wish I had done that in college. Unfortunately I was creating a double spout, four valvue, six can beer bong with my beer chuggin buddy. Oh those were great times...
You said: "Personally, I don't think it will catch on. Two buttons will be way too confusing for your average user."
I always thought Apple users were te elite of the elite. The cream of the crop of end users -eccentric at a minimal. To insinuate two buttons is confusing is fairly amusing if not down right degrading. But really, I'm more shocked at the "I don't think it will catch on" comment. I guess windows users are the smartest users in the world then???...
Dark energy or dark matter or whatever dark clever tag you want to give it is just another way of saying " we don't know what it is so we'll make an educated SWAG (scientific wild ass guess)...just so we don't have to admit to anyone taht that we don't know...
Why won't you die NT4? You should have left so long ago but you keep showing up in this world. I refuse support and yet you keep popping up in my datacenters.
You know the law! A program can either choose to hide in the Matrix, or return to The Source.
Return to the Source! Return and play havoc on the Architech.
Big Deal. With broadband ever expanding and storage being relatively cheap and inexpensive, this technology is a waste of time. Hell, I've got a $100 USB drive for X-mas that was a gig...a fucking gig.

By the time the next time you log on, there will be a whole new round of cheating and exploits for all to enjoy.
They'll be out of your way soon enough...
"There will be no one to stop us this time! Vader"
By the time the triliogy reaches DVD, there will a PG version, a PG13 version, and a R version (scenes of sith/padame love included) for all to enjoy.
There's nothing like changing a movie before it comes out on DVD when it's not good enough in our own twisted mind.
"As he lit a cigar with a large stack of burning 20's."
" I love it when a good plan comes together."
"But most of all, I resent the smell of those burning 20's, however subtle they may be, competing with the aroma of my fine cuban cigars..."
;)... nice!!!

Umm...I did...so here's my reply to you: Hate the Game, Not the Player!
Too bad it's a MAC... Too bad it's a Volkswagen...
Hate the Game, Not the Player...
As if there was something of importance coming through Canadian mail... (pst - dont worry so much)

Anything that furthers the advancement and evolution of robotics is fine with me. I'll buy one...
