I lived in Central & South America for a while and often heard this claim. However, I would like to point out that the USA is the ONLY country with America in its name.
When someone calls themselves American, everyone knows which country they are referring to, although there may be grumbling at the gringo for being arrogant.
Israel is not in Afghanistan or Iraq for fear that it will unite the Muslims in hatred and make it harder to control the population. Generic summary of Iraq & Israeli relations
This article claims a storage device made from sapphire & platinum that will last 10 million years, although I do not see where they come up with that estimate.
With the amount of money in politics, I would be extremely surprised if the RNC was not already investing in their own software development. In fact, take a look at this recent press release
Doubtful, considering the "dream team of engineers from Facebook, Google and Twitter". I'd bet linux servers, running apache &mysql, with either PHP or ruby running the server side language.
This raises the interesting question of who owns the software and who's decision it is to open source it or not. The LA time link claims that specifically Obama and his campaign team is retaining the software, not the DNC.
Obscenity: The Supreme Court test for obscenity is as follows: (a) whether the average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest; (b) whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by the applicable state law; and (c) whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value.
Fighting words: As defined by the Supreme Court, fighting words are "those which by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace."
Causing panic: The classic example of speech causing panic is someone yelling "Fire!" in a crowded movie theater. Speech may be suppressed where a reasonable person would know that his speech is likely to cause panic and/or harm to others.
Incitement to crime: Speech that spurs another to commit a crime.
Sedition: Speech that advocates unlawful conduct against the government or the violent overthrow of the government.
President Obama works for the executive branch and his job is to enforce the laws passed by congress. Which policies are you referring to that are strictly his and you deem authoritarian?
Enough of this crap. If you think I do not know what I am talking about, come and play me in the advance lounge of yahoo chess, my alias is schneidafunk. I am on there everyday and as of right now I am rated at 1945.
You can verify I have a high rating and you can see fools mate used as a CAPTCHA test and then you can apologize.
If you disagree with me, then put up your rating info and a way to verify it. If you are high enough rated I will play you in a game of chess, but will probably test you first to see you are not using a chess program.
Sorry, the reason is: "[6] The American prosecutors allege that individuals and the Respondent Megaupload Ltd. were parties to an offence of criminal infringement of copyright, conspiracy to infringe copyright, money laundering and racketeering. The allegation is that Megaupload Ltd. facilitated wrongful dissemination of copyright protected material such as movies and music."
However, Kim already successfully fought off extradition to the U.S., so how are these computers helpful?
If you would like to find out for yourself, my alias is schneidafunk, find me on yahoo chess in the advance lounge if you want to play or verify my rating. I am there during my lunch break almost every day, roughly 12pm - 2pm EST.
You will also see the higher rated players, lose to fools mate to test for programs. I guess I didn't clarify that it does not affect your rating if the game ends within 15 seconds, which is why fools mate is a good test.
I get the impression you don't play very often. 2000+ rated players do the same thing to me, and once both players know that we are 'real' people, we then play real games.
Relax there grizzly. The point is the computer program ALWAYS play fools mate. Because the game ends so fast, it doesn't count against your rating, so a human has an incentive NOT to mate that quickly. Games that end under 15 seconds are disregarded.

How much money are they making?
The solution which is always repeated is to encrypt any sensitive data.
Gold and platinum have real world uses, besides just being a scarce metal used in jewelry.
Are you sure they aren't treated badly?
*Sorry, meant to say asteroid.
It's just minerals and metals. It'll be humans, not meteorites, creating anything from these resources. Stupid article, move along folks.
There are multiple galaxies and you could indeed find one farther away.

What are your thoughts on the current gun debate in the U.S.A.

What is the official reason for requesting the data anyway? Kim is being prosecuted and the site is down.
Thank you for clarifying, it was another poster who brought up the time factor, which I forgot to mention originally.

I see you wanted to be anonymous for your stupid insults, which is silly since it's obvious who you are.
My rating varies between 1900 - 2100. I have been playing every day for about 25 years now.
Slide down the thread and there is another user who said the same thing about fools mate: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3383705&cid=42592239
