    Hi, please STOP calling Apple's iPod Touch as an MP3 player. Its like calling a Rolls Royce a "car". Sure, iPod Touch can play MP3, but i use it to watch Two-and-a-half men episodes and Radarmen from the Moon classics.

    It actually passed the EU standards http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/15/video-nano-passes-european-crash-test/ which are slightly more stringent than US standards. Oh BTW, the Yugo did pass those pesky US standards, LOL

    That's because of the typical NIH syndrome. Anything NOT made in America by americans is immediately bad, however good it is. Remember the old jokes about Soviet union: "The soviets can never pack a nuke into a suitcase, because they haven't perfected the suitcase yet." It ended when Soviet Union sent up Sputnik,

  13. Re:Rights Holder on UK Royalty Group Wants ISPs To Pay For Pirating Customers · · Score: 1

    The Government does NOT provide Rights. Rights belong to the people. In a Democratic Republic, the people surrender some of their Rights to the Government in return for the common good and safety. The degree of surrender determines the power the Govt has over its people. Which is why the PATRIOT Act raises hackles.

    Riiight. And the insurance money is supposed to pay for ETF to a corporation on a case that it would lose in a court. I would suggest the widow sues and demands a jury trial to get compensation for mental harassment.

    Nope. Will NEVER happen.
    Why?
    1) Its Texas.
    2) The officials were helping the Govt. commit a crime. You can't convict a Govt.
    3) Even if everything goes OK, the state dept will cite official secrets as a reason to get the case thrown out.

    Tell me how many officials have been convicted so far in:
    1) Public prosecutors firing
    2) CIA agent outing.
    3) Katrina failures
    4) Gitmo tortures
