Oh please! Not this tired old line again: "Other non-American inside the USA include students, tourists, and Democrats."
Can we please stop the "un-American(tm)" drivel? Can't you offer us something more constructive, perhaps contributing to the conversation, rather than lowering yourself to simple name calling?
Back on-topic. Why has the National Intelligence Director decided to drop this little nugget now? This is not something that you would accidentally slip into a conversation with a reporter.
d) Although the execution was botched, while Democrats and liberals bemoan dictatorships around the world, George Bush put 200,000 boots on the ground to try and bring about democracy in a severely troubled part of the world.

Are you serious? Iraq was a democracy. But we
intervened, by sponsoring the Baath party (of all the groups to pick, we chose the most ruthless and coldblooded), just so we could have a friendly (?) face in power. All in the name of 'stopping the spread of communism'.
Not only did they not want to know, they actively tried to suppress the flow of information and meaningful discussion. This is censorship, pure and simple. Our government hard at work again, trying to impose its beliefs upon the public.
Are you serious?!?
I'm in suburban Dallas. Huge place, spread out. They have room to dig up the streets or footpath if necessary. Imagine trying to lay new cable in a densely populated urban location environment...
Why on earth should a UK based volunteer organisation have to travel to Illinois to defend themselves? They haven't done anything wrong in the UK, hell, they weren't even sued in the UK!
If you ran a legitimate, fully legal, website here in the States and someone in Russia sued you, would you go and defend yourself? I didn't think so. So how is this any different???
Which is exactly the point the parent was trying to make. If the CEO had made better decisions then they wouldn't have blown all that cash on lawsuits and could have put it into developing their product...
30 frames/sec * 60 seconds/minute * 150 minute movie = 135000 pictures, no? That's an awful lot of times pushing the print screen button. Even if you can "print" to an image file, and use a script to "push" the button continuously, once you factor in reassembling it, that'll still take a while.
Do you really think that no one will write a quick script to do this automatically???
Please, enough with the outrage. The parent wasn't trying to dishonour the memory of those who fell on 9/11. You mistake poorly worded for something else. The poster was just looking at the number of deaths on 9/11 and comparing it to other issues (read murders, traffic accidents, heart disease etc).
I get sick of people making bullshit comments and then justifying it in the name of "patriotism".
Actually, this is not an entirely silly idea. Who would own what? Who decides? Will we eventually have to create a Moon government (think 200+ years from now), or will countries simply setup outposts?
You raise a valid point here, but is there any reason cities like New York and LA (with correspondingly higher population densities) should be offering bandwidth as low as smaller, rural cities? Doesn't this simply point to the big corporations milking the average Joe?
I take offense at your comments. Perhaps you need to think before you post? You may not respect the government or the courts, but based on what little you have gleaned from/. you disrespect our entire country? Shame on you for being so narrow minded.
And don't think that because of the action of our courts and government that we're ashamed of being australian. On the contrary, I'm an aussie living in america, and I think we're even more proud of simply 'being australian' than most americans are of being american. Yes americans wave lots of flags and sing the national anthem at every opportunity, but I believe most australians don't think that we need to be like that. We are simply Australian. And proud.
Don't forget the population of australia is about 20 million, compared to the united states' 290 million.
We have almost the same (80%)
landmass as the united states but only 7% of the population of america!
Our GDP is only 5% of america's as well. We are not a world power by any stretch of the imagination. Do you wonder why our government cooperates when asked?
I am. Honestly. I guess I underestimated the intelligence of the/. community.
I was expecting a lot of True American(tm) sentiment and an awful lot of Canadian bashing in response to some of the pro Canadian views that have been expressed so far in this thread. But I haven't seen a lot of that. It's brilliant.
[I guess it could be explained by some good modding, but I don't want to start thinking like that!]
You write (2) Any increase in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases will change the radiation balance of the Earth and increase surface temperatures. This is basic and undisputed physics that has been known for over a hundred years.
If this was undisputed we wouldn't be having this conversation, would we?

No comments about being a Bushie from me. However, please back up your statements with links or references to scientific work.
When climate scientists find data that does not support global warming, they keep analyzing and compensating for it until it shows global warming.
How do you know???
Show us. Educate us. If you can't do that, then your opinions will simply be that; opinions.
I would think a simple fix is to require continuous psychotherapy for victims like this
But this is exactly the problem. There is no simple fix.
