The American definition of Liberal is equally contradictory; greater freedom through greater regulation...
That is not necessarily contradictory. Greater freedom in non-commercial activity, with greater regulation of commercial activity. Complete, inalienable right for adults to engage in consensual sex, does not mean that the activity can be conducted for cash.
I got an email just this morning informing me that SuperRoyalCasinoOnline.com is offering a 200% bonus on all deposits.
That's nothing. I got an offer this morning of $700B, with little oversight and no accountability. All I have to do is prove that I recklessly lost hundreds of billions of investor capital.
so its hard to imagine how cheap an equivalent desktop would be. ($250??) If you can't afford the hardware to run the OS
Sorry, I swore long ago to never run an OS that cost more than the hardware upon which it runs. So I either have to buy a lot more hardware than I need, or keep using Linux.
Well, making the office of the President have "little to do with [our] daily lives" would probably mean chopping the hell out of our military. Right now, our annual DoD budget, not including the special appropriations for Iraq and Afghanistan, works out to over $1,800 per person (including children). I don't see how a family of four can fail to see who the President is, when they are spending $7,300 on the military, plus however many trillions it costs for that President's foreign misadventures.
The two distinguishing features of the Romans were that they were clever engineers and better at organising soldiers. They were not so much a superior civilization that conquered the barbarians by historic necessity, as a bunch of barbarians themselves, who had harvested the achievements of the Greeks, Egyptians, Persians etc etc. They just had a stronger military at a time when their neighbors didn't, and they got to write the history books; they, and later the Christian church, who in many ways were their heirs.
Are you really talking about the Romans, or was this just an anti-American screed filtered through: s/Americans/Romans/ s/British/Greeks/ s/French/Egyptians/ s/Germans/Persions/?
That would just make being "the power behind the throne" all that more attractive. Do you really think Cheney cares if Bush's head gets chopped off in January? Every President would become a useless, disposable, figurehead.
No, that wouldn't be "Last" Thursday; that would be like 5200 Thursdays ago. An omnipotent god can implant an entire lifetime of memories in your brain, an attosecond after he creates you. You have absolutely no proof, and can never have any proof, that the world is more than 6 days (or 6 milliseconds) old. This is the nifty intersection of omnipotence and proof.
The so called "micro" and "macro" evolution are one and the same, just over different time scales.
No. A billion small changes do not add up to a large change./sarcasm
Macro-evolution (to the point of speciation): a large number of mutations can change DNA to the point that a creature with these mutations cannot produce offspring with a related creature that does not have those mutations. How can anyone refute that this is possible, unless they deny the very existence of heritable mutations? How can they deny that this is must have happened if the Earth is 'old'? Not addressing abiogenesis, just that if there has been life (from whatever source) for a billion or more years, then it would take supernatural intervention to keep macro-evolution from happening.
They're a lot more in the trenches and actually make the decisions that carry significant consequences, good or bad.
They're not in the trenches; that would imply that they are at personal risk. These are REMFs, whose butts are solidly protected by golden parachutes. If their homes were as at-risk as their workers, they would make different decisions, perhaps even decisions that looked more than 1-2 quarters out.
apparently "economist" is a field that attracts liberals
Or maybe intelligent people who spend a lot of time studying the history and theory behind economics end-up deciding that liberal policies are more effective than conservative policies?

You didn't read the entire headline, did you? Noob.
Steve Martin (yes, the comedian) won a Grammy for banjo playing (on some else's album, not solo).

Really expensive keggers, with millions of servants running around dishing out snacks and booze.
IBM sells Cell shells by the C shore.

Sorry, "Talk like a parrot day" was last week.
Hear, hear! Buying Windows is henceforth to be forever known as "inappropriate consumerism".

Did either Vista or XP support non-intel-compat CPUs? I thought that MIPS and Alpha were long gone from Windows, before XP came out.

What a nitpick. OK, so technically those are "Southern Mexicans", sheesh.
If they repay the loans at all.

(pssst, hey: this is not a good week to be slamming people for not "believing in markets". for that matter, next week doesn't look so good, either.)

Close. They're enforcing LOLspeak. We'll have LOLCats, LOLBrats, LOLandscapes, LOLis-this-thing-on, LOLflowers, and (of course), LOLporn.
I think it's important that people who don't have a desire...
For $20/hr they could just set-out a couple of boxes of free pizza every hour with the Vista logo emblazoned on the box.
