If they're reading about it in the paper, that means someone has already done his duty and leaked proof to the press. What do you think will prevent more future abuse... going AWOL and releasing all information up to that point, or staying on base as a watchdog?
Anybody working at the Guantanamo prison deserves death threats.
Fuck 'em. You are aware that US soldiers don't get to refuse orders to be stationed somewhere, right? Do you have proof that each and every soldier stationed at Guantanamo knew about the torture? If you're advocating a punishment (death threats) without proof and due process, then you're guilty of the same thing you're condemning. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I don't think your comment is funny at all. Considering how people are the victims of such behavior, and the traumatic and painful emotional experience it is, would someone please mod this as ignorant and insensitive. It's called "black comedy". You'll understand when your humor chip is installed by means of brutal ear rape.
I'd be interested to hear if they found any evidence that this dinosaur may have had feathers. So far they've found only limited evidence as to the existence of feathers on dinosuars, and even then only on a few species.
Yes, America does have poor people, but many of them will balk at the idea of having to crank their laptop to get it running. That was just on an earlier model of the laptop. Now the laptop by default can be plugged into the wall, and the crank is an optional attachment.
The system currently in place is essentially plurality voting: A small slice of the population shows up, registers to vote, and then votes for one of the two candidates (Mr. "Keep" or Mr. "Delete.") Occasionally, there are write-ins, but those are usually viewed as part of the spoiler effect. The administrator presiding over the vote may choose to, at his discretion, nullify or amend the results of the vote. It's democratic, but not quite consensual. A common misconception. Wikipedia is not a democracy. If there is no consensus, the page is not to be deleted. If an admin is not operating in accordance with this policy you should follow the dispute resolution procedure.
Wow, the Microsoft shills are all over this story. How exactly is he a shill? He needed XP for his business, and rather than buy three copies he didn't need, he used three he already had, thus depriving Microsoft of revenue. Good for him.

... And you shouldn't either. Far to often new articles are deleted (or worse, Speedy Deleted with no discussion at all), and the records of the page are only accessable to admins. I used to keep a local copy myself just to protect against this abuse, but gave up on it.
I have found the best strategy is to just add content to existing articles until they get so bloated you can split a section off into an article of its own. At least then if they delete the new article, you can revert the old one to keep your work. The deletion system favors article mitosis.
Computer repair (just like car repair and health care) are problems that free markets just don't solve very well. There's no way for consumers to make informed decisions since diagnosing the problem is the job. Most people not only can't diagnose these problems themselves, but don't make this type of purchase very often, and have little or no objective data to go by. It's a tough problem. This market failure is known as information asymmetry.
You seriously think you can do better ( worse) than the PRC Plus, you won't be going to a Chinese jail if AT&T catches you. Worst case, you're just forced to switch to a different ISP. If that was all the Chinese had to worry about, the government would have given up on the great firewall a long time ago.
Umm... you might want to reinstall your copy of XP. If it's working properly it almost never crashes. I use both XP and Kubuntu all the time, and I don't think we need to make stuff up or exaggerate to convince people that Linux is better.

I would never advocate the Nuremberg defense. My point is that even monsters deserve a trial. No one deserves death threats.

That's one of the main reasons I play realm characters in Diablo II. Transfers effortlessly between my computers.
Ij'm talkijng about Portal, what ijs so confusijng about that?
What are you talkijng about? Pong gets old after the first point.

Perhaps it will seem more important when the medicine you have been prescribed becomes unavailable.
Or better yet, have a computer translate it for you!
Not exactly what you described, but you might enjoy Robocode.
And yes, XP can be working "properly" and still crash. I didn't say it was perfect. :-P
