Umm, it has support for MP3's built in, includes video players, has a better disk configuration tool that lets you chose formats other than ext3 for your disks.
Now that said, Mandrake does not work with my IBM USB memory key, which is the only reason I use Red Hat and put up with the things I mentioned.
And why didn't Clinton execute this incredible plan? In fact why didn't Clinton undertake this after the Cole bombing (instead of just throwing out a couple of cruise missles and calling it good)? Or why didn't he kill Bin Laden when the Sudanease told Clinton exactly where Bin Laden was? BTW: It's not Clinton's fault either, he didn't know 9/11 was coming as well.
This plan business is revisionist bullshit. Al Gore would have done nothing more than Bush. This "plan" is something Washington does all the time. They make plan after plan for all kinds of threats. How many documents detailing various ways of dealing with the USSR are out there?
But of course the huge disagreement and division in the US is something the terrorists really like to see.
We (the US) are really in this together, divided we may well fall. I do think that Gore may well have done some things right after 9/11. I think he might have carried through on the invasion of Afganistan (but not Iraq). But I am absolutely sure that we would have still had 9/11. Hindsight is 20/20, and hindsight as a partisan exersice is probably 20/10.
Do you really believe that Al-Queda would have left the US alone if only Gore had been President?
Remember and do not forget, that while you may hate conservatives and republicans, Al-Queda hates us all. They will not refrain from terrorist activities because a Liberal is in office, their first attack on the world trade center was during Clinton's term! Liberals may be all for moral relativism and understanding, that doesn't mean that that understanding will be recripocated by terrorists.
Can you actually confirm a (vaildated) test of Gore's IQ. 200 is well into the 90th percentile of IQ, my personal opinion is that your number is just some rah, rah Gore is smart partisan chestthumping.
BTW: If you were to look at intelligence, it has not normally been the best indicator of presidential success and ability. There are many more aspects to leadership than intelligence. Also the enormous staff a president gets to employ enables him to enhance his intelligence based on who he selects for a staff. This is true not only of Bush, Clinton had very smart people like Dick Morris, and (shudder) James Carville (wrong on lots of issues, but strategically very smart).
No, its not. The original intent of the founding fathers was for landowners to be allowed to vote.
The real and truest brilliance of the founding fathers was to create a limited, modifyable document to establish the nation. Thereby leading to the everyone has a vote situation we have today.
But it has been stated, and shown in history, that when the populace figures out how to vote itself handouts from the public treasury, it is all downhill from there and we are a good ways along that path already.
Geologically we know for a fact that Ice Ages have occured off and on in the last few million years. Every Ice Age involves substancial global cooling and then substancial global warming to come out of. The last Ice Age was only tens of thousands of years ago, which a rather small number when talking about geological time. It may be that we just have not reached the peak temperature after coming out of an Ice Age.
I think its amazing how much credit we give ourselves on our impact on the climate. While I agree that cleaner fuels, and more importantly power generation are good things. Our impact is still insignificant on many levels. Just one volcano can have more climactic impact than all the people on earth. Yellowstone's caldera volcano, if (or when) it erupts again will have more impact on the climate than mankind has had throughout the entire industrial age.
We should minimize our impact on the environment, but we could well find that the climate is just doing whatever it wants and we are exaggerating in the extreme what we can do about it.
Hell, we're currently perplexed at what the sun is doing right now and its the root cause of all global warming.
You are not pointing out the truth, you are stating an opinion.
You are engaging in the kind of open minded, thoughtfull name calling and smear campaign seen too often nowdays from the left. The post you are responded to called you on your name calling, and you just labeled your opinion fact and threw in some character assination to boot.
The Left in this country today is all about anger and hatred of the right. This is fine, its the perogative of the left to chose which form of debate they want to engage in. An you apparently have picked that form too.
I just don't have to give your kind one lick of respect. If you can't debate issues and (real) facts (ie. a true statistical sampling of Fox News viewers would more than likely reveal a range of intelligence very similar to the general public), then sit down and shut up.
What they are going to say when movies are leaked now? It will happen.
The movie industry will have to fess up that some of the most respected people in their industry are in fact IP theives. Just like they want to paint everyone else to be. It'll be fun to watch.
Most laws that require inforcement have that kind of language. I am sure most speeding statues include language such as this and provide latitude to a judge in sentencing, depending on the severeness of the crime.
As an added note, they may have stopped me from file sharing. But it'll be a cold day in hell before I ever purchase another music CD. If you want your market base of customers to be people who your are going to sue, eventually the market will adapt so that you no longer have any customers.
It can run in a distrubuted client/server configuration and is capable of recoding the files to be moved to other PCs or written to DVD or VCD.
It is a very cool peice of Open Source software, but not for the feint of heart, as it is a hefty configuration task. But if you can get it installed and running, its an awesome PVR design and implementation.
I already have the constitutional rights to not allow others to protest on my property. I have the right to not allow someone to hand me a brochure on my property. My telephone is my property, if I want a barbed wire fence on it with a no trespassing sign on it (AKA the do not call list), I should be allowed to have it.
When 50 Million households (possibly as many as 90 Million voters) want something, the politicians are going to bend over backwards to make it happen. It will be interesting to see what happens with this. I think that level of voter interest is the kind of thing that can spur on constitutional amendments. Basically its what majority rule is all about. I know many feel the rights of minorities are very important, but in this case the minority is the scum sucking telemarketer.

Give up on the IQ angle already.
Boy, I think you actually have every "fact" in your post backwards, quite an accomplisment.
Is it really that hard to implement a decent system without retarted bugs like in the last article
Nope its not hard, I think they commonly refer to that method as pencil and paper, though.
Hell, senators don't even need to be bought these days, they're too busy selling their votes.
You missed the fall of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
Oh wait, liberals didn't really want that, did they?
No, its not. The original intent of the founding fathers was for landowners to be allowed to vote.
The real and truest brilliance of the founding fathers was to create a limited, modifyable document to establish the nation. Thereby leading to the everyone has a vote situation we have today.

Man, could I have mangled that first sentance any more?
Be sure to mention to her after you explain this, that he elected officails mandated this.
I think that the switchover to digital TV will quite possibly cause the largest consumer revolt in history. The FCC isn't helping things.
Enough clear evidence? You're kidding, right?

I don't seem to remember the First Amendment requiring that media be either Right or Left.
Now that there is actually a balance of perspectives in the media all the liberals are whining about how right wing they are.
Well Fox News can use the same defense other media outlets used when being accused of being biased.
It's just freedom of the press.
And btw, is pointing out that Fox News beat CNN to this story really defending Fox News or just pointing out a fact.

Great point. A few years ago I really wondered why there was such a push for motor-voter laws.....
Then they started handing out drivers licenses to illegal aliens and it all became clear.

You know with MythTV you can record the show in its timeslot every week and not record duplications.
Sure sounds like a season pass to me.

Yes, I've actaully asked someone who would know.
Man, you should have logged in to post this. This is one of the most insightful posts I've seen in a long time.
You're right too. Someday the company SCO will be a distant memory. It just takes time for IBM to squish them like a bug.
Last time I checked the RIAA was suing 12 year olds, not cracking down on pirates in China.
It not, "leave them alone, they're poor", its "they're in China and their government won't help you stop them (heck, they might even help them)."
Capitailism's biggest strength, and biggest flaw, is its lack of morality.
