The phones are starting to be over-engineered like BMW with its POS iDrive.
If you need to surf, get a fracken laptop. The more crap they try to shoehorn into the PHONE the more they compromise telephony ease of use.
The Ted Steven's type politician will not go away until campaign contributions are permitted only from registered voters from a candidate's district. I should be permitted to give money to only those candidates I am allowed to vote for.
"What I don't get is what the pro-gunners are so afraid of. All you have to do is maintain a license to use a gun. What scares you so much?"
As was mentioned earlier... incrementalism. You end up with a DC style laws that says private firearms ownership requires a license and then the government refuses to issue licenses. So who has firearms... the Police(who are not obligated to protect you) and criminals who don't care about laws.
Nascar is WWF on wheels(staged)
Indy is a bunch of guys making boring left turns
F1 doesn't have enough passing and too much depends upon the speed of the pit crew as opposed to driver skills.
MotoGP has no pit stops and lots of passing. Every turn is a game of chicken and the bikes are close to what's available on the street.
The USA has 3 major control structures in the culture: businesses, religions, and government. Each entity within these categories are major hierarchies with internal rules, norm, and oversight (when it works).
Purhaps there's a 4th... special interest groups. NEA, NRA, AARP, etc. Though these group's members have been known to act like religious fanatics.

"While the president had broad authority in foreign affairs, that authority does not extend to the refusal to execute domestic laws." This would seem to say that bypassing FISA for searches or refusing to enforce immigration laws is illegal.
Any new employee(or intern) has to sign an employee agreement that pretty much says everything the person writes, thinks or produces belongs to 'the company'.
Wouldn't this supersede the school since it was signed first? If so, start a company.
Back when Windows XP came out there were a lot of users with win95/win98. For them it was a necessary upgrade. Vista has Windows XP. Microsoft's got its work cutout because there's little if anything forcing Vista.
"I'm sorry but I am confused your saying to unless OpenOffice clones office then Ubuntu will be nothing but a clone?"
I'm saying that if OpenOffice works like MS Office then Microsoft is in trouble because it will be easier to move to OpenOffice. People will not change to OpenOffice unless it is familiar. Besides, from a polish and maturity perspective the MS Office interface(2003, not 2007) is a lot better than OpenOffice.
I'm a Linux newbie, but very knowledgeable with Windows. I've been using kubuntu edgy exclusively for about a month and it's been anything but easy on a Thinkpad T30 laptop. My IP2200 wireless card connects to open APs, but won't work with WPA(XP works fine), there's an overall lack of polish and too much work is required at the command line. I'm really hoping Fiesty helps with some of this.
Improving OpenOffice should be next. It doesn't hold a candle to MS Office 2003. I would also love to see Fiesty have an import tool so it could use the Windows and MS Office settings. Making the OpenOffice keyboard and toolbars identical to MS Office as an option would be a big help.
Windows users will stay with Windows until the security problems get overwhelming(pain), upgrade costs get too high(pain) OR they see something obviously better(epiphany). If Fiesty is solid and OpenOffice is made to work like MS Office then Microsoft is in trouble. Otherwise Linux will remain nothing more than a mosquito.

How long before the RIAA's bought politicians in the US start threatening the German government for supporting terrorism?

If so, what should he have done when charged?
Just curious.

Jail time should be automatic for lying.

Ubuntu is as compelling.

It seems this would be Federal(FCC) turf like all other telecom.
