Except i'm a libertarian. and oh, heres the transcript for the hearing before the Comittee on Commerce, Scirnce, and TRansportation of the United States Senate (99nth Congress). http://mars.superlink.net/~jdandrea/shrg99-529/ind ex.html . Tipper Gore was a witness. Moreover, if you believe that labeling would not be de facto censorship, you're mistaken. Walmart, one of the biggest music vendors in the country, refuses to carry anything with such a label - much like movie theaters often refuse to carry anything with an nc-17 rating. These ratings often had nothing to do with cursing or violence, but with 'occult' content. Also note that i wasn't saying that republicans are anti-censorship, but i was pointing out that the democrats, the 'party of choice', is not.
Kerry was in favor of outlawing certain levels of encryption (and classifying encrpytion related stuff as munitions for export purposes (ironically enough, John Ashcroft was against limiting encryption at the same time, and squared off against kerry). Democrats are also notoriously pro-censorship (its for the children). I'm not saying the republicans are a bowl ofpeaches, but they get plenty of bad press here as it is (and have a terrible civil liberties record recentlly)
My college (well, ex college) did the same thing. the online registrar and student portal closed @ 8pm, except on registration days, when it was open 24/7
A cell phone may effect electrical equipment in places like hospitals and such. Now, while it may be useful in a place like that, as anything but a gimmick they seem like a bad idea to try in any serious numbers.
According to equipment manfactureers, everything from portable cd players on up interfere with hospital equipment. Every hospital i've been in says 'turn off cellhpones - they interfere with equipemt', but every doctor has one, and the phones are on. Lots of telephone booths, those that still exist, use wireless connections, as opposed to land lines (which used to be the only option). Hospitals, last i looked, were still doing ok (except when they leave oxygen canisters in the room while they're running an mri. oops)
and its been in macs since the blue g3 towers. its those subtle things that apple does that few people know about, but can make the user experience sublime (like auto-switching ethernet ports, so you never need a crossover cable). Target mode is an amazing tool for recovering a busted ass system (or data theft, for that matter), and open firmware (letting you boot up from an ipod, external firewire drive, blah blah blah) makes it even cooler.
the g4 imac, maybe. but the g4 and blue g3 towers (which i had in my high school computer graphics lab and a school papers) were pop-open and goink style, stripping ram being a 5 second operation. at least on the g5 imac you need to unscrew stuff (and maybe they'll have safety screws, although that only lasts until a kid gets a copy of the bit). the older imacs, though - the bubbles and the flat panel white models were at least a half hour operation (i only know all this because i own a g4 tower and a white imac - i promise)
Jobs + Wozniak = Joswiak. This is obviously the product of genetic manipulation dating back to the early 1980's, to breed a technical genius with a reality distortion field and impeccable style.
educational implementations tend to use (and often prefer) the all-in-one. Its easier to move (mobile computer carts), harder to steal parts (its actually an issue - i promise). From the all-in-one g3 (with the clear plastic hood which led to the imac, if i don't misremember, which i might) to the emac (and, if you want to go farther back, the long line of apple all-in-one units).
and get cornholed monthly or violated with a flagpole for the one time fee. and you don't have a computer you could use for other things (emulater box, blah blah blah)
Can you spot the differances between making people 'bend over and accept' your new technology and people coming out of the woodwork and threaten you because they don't like what you're doing?
their site isn't slashdotted, and if you're not willing to spend tim ereading the blurb,why spend it writing questions (i know why, but hey, in a perfect world...)
Multitheft auto lets you play GTA:3 and Vice city with multiplayer, so you have a server (which i think can run on linux) and clients. i believe you still need a full copy of whichever flavor of GTA you're using, though.
common? in the mac community, powermacs (and some powerbooks) have had gigabit ethernet as standard and the rise of feature rich mobos (quick - here's SATA raid, 2 channels of ATA raid, a dancing lemur, and gigabit ethernet) are making it steadily more common.
Hey. Have you ever been to New JErsey? Do you read the news? last i check, out government is a democrat, and i'm pretty sure our legislature has a democratic majority. john corzine, the democrat who bought his election, lives in new jersey and goes to church in my town (actually, both US Senators from NJ go to that church, but thats another story). Conservative? where?

You remember the congressional hearings with Frank Zappa and Dee Snider? Tipper and Al Gore? Any of that ring a bell?

i think america's army is also linux.

whats wrong with konqueror? its open source, and works great (although safari works even better)
i've used (and heard others use) doubethink in a conversation not directly related to 1984.
i wear a pocket watch. it rocks.
also, look at eyeTV.
open firmware is an IEEE standard (1275, in fact), and auto-switching ports do appear elsewhere.
You insensitive clod - i'm using an atari 800!

oh, they are - have you ever tried to boot up a machine without power?
you rock

i'm personally baffled as to how this comment could be considered to be informative at all.

um . yeah. church is synonomous with conservatism. wtf?
