or Iraqi people to a murderous dictator whose sons repeatedly raped women and killed people.
So, is that why we invaded Iraq now? To save the women and people from Saddam's sons? I thought it was WMD? Oh, wait...no, it was 9/11! Oh, wait...no, it was AlQaeda! Oh, wait...no, it was...bah, I don't remember!

I imagine there are thousands of/dotters that agree with me and a lot of them are pretty geeky. Myself being one of them.
Don't give me this "sound synthesiser" bullshit. Do you really think a sound box can simulate an IC engine, especially a rumbling V8. Hah! Because YOU can't appreciate it doesn't leave it to the realm of these "luddites" you speak of.
Don't get me wrong, the Tesla is an impressive vehicle but it has no soul. What makes a Ferrari, primarily, is the sound it makes as you row through the gears. The sound of a big cam V8 is music to my ears as well. Hell, even high-rpm technowonder I4's that Honda puts out have a wonderfully mechanical sound to them.
I think without that, a sports car simply becomes a fast object. I think I would have a hard time falling in love with an electric sports car.
Basically, because the Mustang GT is just some other run of the mill piece of crap and they made a whole bunch of them (61,000).
It's a decent car but by no means a collectible.
I'll give you that he doesn't fit the definition of a child molester. What he did is still illegal and gives major insight to his character. He was 35 at the time and most 13/14 year olds aren't able to fully comprehend that type of situation and are easily taken advantage of.
I saw it years ago and I agree that she didn't "act" like a child. The fact is though, he knew she was fourteen. So yes, she was a child. Call it what you want. Oh, and he pissed on her. So what we have is a grown man peeing on a fourteen year old girl.
The difference is, the Patriot Act was passed under the guise of fighting terrorism, which people are emotionally (irrationally) charged about. The support wouldn't have been there if they attempted this over-reaching legislation on the premise of fighting crime. Rightfully so. 9/11 didn't happen because the Patriot Act didn't exist. It wasn't a failure of the system, it was a failure of people to listen to the intelligenct they were given.
Do you have a source for that claim? I've heard the same thing but have never been able to find any conclusive evidence. It's fun for people to repeat because it makes our legal system sound so screwed up.

You just return your utterly destroyed Monster cable to any participating store, and they replace it for you, free of charge. Which is pretty goddamn awesome.
I can buy 10+ HDMI cables for the price of the Monster cable. My cables aren't "utterly destroyed" very often.
To be fair...the motherboard comparison did have quite a bit of text on almost all the pages I checked (clicked on five or six random ones). I know what you are talking about but the number of pages in this context seems reasonable. It does make it user for somene to point to a specific portion of the article. I guess they could do it like Wikipedia though.
Did I misread your statement? I have a force feedback steering wheel sitting in my house using electric motors to provide varying levels of resistance on the wheel. There are dozens of force feedback wheels and joysticks on the market that offer more than just vibration. And who modded this informative?
I guess I was a little harsh on my response. I said it a bit tongue in cheek. I'll give you one thing...you're creating which is more than I can say for myself.
Sorry dude but I don't think you could pay someone to copy that painting. It looks like something I would have done in grade school. I understand art is in the eye of the beholder but...DAMN!
He didn't compare Bluray to DVD. He compared it to HD-DVD so that point is baseless. One of the things, besides resolution, both parties have been pushing is all these snazzy new features. The fact is early adopters are going to miss out on these new features that will inevitably be advertised on the box.
Even anarchists can't agree on what "type" of anarchy is best. How would propose these differences in belief are settled? For others reading this, follow the link below to read about all the different types of anarchy. I understand there is no perfect form of government but I believe you are living in a utopian fairy tail if you think anarchy is the solution.
Anarchism is a philosophy which embodies many diverse and heterogeneous attitudes, tendencies and schools of thought; as such, disagreement over questions of values, ideology and tactics is common. The compatibility of capitalism (which anarchists usually reject, according to the Oxford Companion to Philosophy[11]), nationalism and religion with anarchism is widely disputed. Similarly, anarchism enjoys a complex relationship with ideologies such as Marxism, communism and anarcho-capitalism. Anarchists may be motivated by humanism, divine authority, enlightened self-interest or any number of alternative ethical doctrines.
Phenomena such as civilization, technology (e.g. within primitivism and insurrectionary anarchism), and the democratic process may be sharply criticized within some anarchist tendencies and simultaneously lauded in others. Anarchist attitudes towards race, gender and the environment have changed significantly since the modern origin of the philosophy in the eighteenth century.
On a tactical level, while propaganda of the deed was a tactic used by anarchists in the 19th century (e.g. the Nihilist movement), contemporary anarchists espouse alternative methods such as nonviolence, counter-economics and anti-state cryptography to bring about an anarchist society. The diversity in anarchism has led to widely different use of identical terms among different anarchist traditions, which has led to many definitional concerns in anarchist theory.

That is what I usually do except...This one particular site recognized I had put the same answer for all questions and refused to accept them. Argghh.

So are you proposing ALL intelligent people shouldn't vote?
That shit is annoying. I can't believe it didn't come up during discussion of the idea.

Yeah, but how many Cadillacs per dog year is that?
