XP SP2 didn't solve patching problems for me. In fact, it introduced some. Ever since I got SP2, there have been 3 or 4 patches on Windows Update that simply don't download completely. WU will download the patch, check its integrity, download it again, and so on. I now have to go through Microsoft's support site to find the individual patches, then download and install them manually.
I love it when you talk dirty like that:P
Actually, I hate what the *AA are doing. I just think it's inappropriate to equate intellectual property to physical property. We have legal ownership over our cars, so we can decide how to secure them. We do not have legal ownership over the movies on our DVDs/VHS tapes, just over a specific type of "performance" of those pieces, so we have no right to decide how to secure them. That should be left up to the owners of the intellectual property. Whether or not the government gives them ridiculous rewards for turning in violators is the question here.
Then there is the problem in Africa. During the time up to 1980 it was Whites against the Blacks. Now its Blacks discriminating against the Whites. Please feel free to do a search on Black on White crimes in Africa. Make sure you look at land grabs, farming, and murder rates.
The grandparent mentioned Whites discriminating against Blacks in Africa; the part about land grabs seems to be referring to Blacks discriminating against Whites. I mentioned apartheid because I thought you were saying that this type of discrimination only occurred there.
Bzzt, wrong. There have been murders where small children got their parents' guns and killed their classmates (because they didn't know any better). The kids definitely didn't own guns. There have also been incidents where criminals have gotten cops' guns away from them and then shot the cops.
See?
Really, what's the point of these anymore? We need some essays about things that actually cause harm, not confusion or frustration.

My mother has been a school counselor since I was in diapers (I'm now in college), and she just barely had the right number of classes to be "qualified" under NCLB. The only reason she was qualified was that she took some Special Education teaching courses a few years ago. That's pretty messed-up.
Except for, you know, the one FIVE YEARS AGO. Richard Paez ring a bell?
In 1999 and 2000, before he became majority leader, Frist was one of the Republican senators blocking President Clinton's nominee to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Richard Paez.
Frist and others repeatedly prevented a vote on the Paez nomination. In 1999, Frist and 52 other Republicans voted against a motion to proceed to a vote on Paez.
Six months later, Frist voted against cutting off extended debate -- a filibuster -- on the nomination.
Then he voted for a motion to postpone a vote on the nomination.
And finally on March 9, 2000, four years after Clinton nominated Paez to the appeals court, Frist was on the losing end of a 59-39 vote on the nomination itself.
My point is not that judicial nominees have (or have not) been filibustered. My point is that the filibuster has been used for over a century.
Also... you asked when Republicans had ever filibustered a judicial nominee. Someone pointed out that they did it in the '60s (with the Democrats), and you said it didn't count. How, exactly, does a "bipartisan filibuster" not involve Republicans? Because that would be the only way it "didn't count." You were just being argumentative for argument's sake.
Which has been an established, accepted procedure for well over a century. I seem to recall reading about filibusters in Congress during Lincoln's presidency.
This is typical of a lot of Bush administration policy. Take a look at No Child Left Behind:
1. creates more government - imposes irrational nationwide standards on all states
2. unfunded - schools can go bankrupt if they can't afford to make the improvements they apparently need
3. states aren't required to comply - or at least, that's what Mr. Bush says, since he thinks states should be able to "determine their own destiny" in regards to schools
4. provides few, if any, clear benefits - schools are entirely blamed for poor performance? students can't possibly be responsible? students are forcibly registered on military recruiters' contact lists unless their parents explicitly ask for them not to be?
The Republican desire for increased regulation (think USA PATRIOT Act, REALID Act) without funding (e.g. not including the war in the 2004-2005 budget? WTF?) is just further proof that the two mainstream parties are slowly, but surely, fusing into one.
Sounds like a new and improved type of pr0n to me. Core-on-core action! Faster and better than a single core at handling multiple "THREADS" at one time! unf.
It is funny how many of the most vocal critics of the Bible have never read it for themselves.
It's also funny how many of them have, and how many times you see criticism of a particular non-Biblical belief as criticism of the Bible.
The Bible never says that Heaven is outside of our space-time. The concept didn't exist back then, so to say that Heaven is outside of our space-time is to interpret the Bible in a way it was obviously never meant to be interpreted.
P.S. Why are you referring to Jesus as a Man-God? He was, and is, and ever shall be God.
It sounds quite feasible now, since the US starting the planning phase for an invasion of North Korea. I wish I could find my source for that, but searching Google News for "north korea" is just turning up the same stories dozens of times.
Yeah. You have a web site that makes it onto Slashdot, and you have a comment system with no size limit on your comments, and comments can be made every 15 seconds per connection. Wow, that's a pretty bad idea.
Distribution of CD keys does not violate the DMCA because it does not circumvent copyright protection. Using a valid CD key to activate the software goes along with the copyright protection, just not in a way that profits Microsoft.
Bullshit. I got a copy of Windows from a buddy of mine. I called up Microsoft because I was having problems with Internet Connection Sharing, and after 20 minutes on the phone with them, the problem was solved - FREE. They don't care if you bought it from them, they don't charge for it, and they don't care if it's an OEM version. So long as you have activated Windows, you can get support.

Movies are not our property. We buy the licenses to watch the movies encoded on the DVD, not the right to do with the movie as we wish.
