I'm not suggesting the government have total power to do anything they want, but how can we stand by and complain that terrorism is on the rise when a fit is thrown every time some phone records are looked at due to some technicalities?
I don't recall complaining that terrorism was on the rise. Could it be that the people who are complaining benefit from those complaints by having larger budgets and more power?
We should stop wasting resources on investigating our own agencies for things that did not have any affect on anyone. Maybe we could get out of debt and put the economy on track...

MathML is an instance of XML, so XHTML with MathML.
Are corporate shareholders allowed to ask for their dividends back if a corporation engages in political activity that they do not support?
2010-1886=124. Geesh, what kind of math are teaching these days?
Shouldn't that be gynoid? At least that's my preference.
Neither of which are very good for math.
What incentive does Microsoft have to support Open Office?
But it is interesting that we declared war on one of the few secular states in the Middle East in the name of fighting so-called "Islamist" terrorism.
No, authoritarianism may be better at protecting lives against external threats, but itself may be a graver internal threat.
Or is my sarcasm meter off today?

Hmm. . ., Ubintu 9.10 only cost the price of an issue of Ubuntu User.
