Actually, the professor admitted that he stopped his "experiment" after Issue 13, which changed a lot of the PvP mechanics--including specifically removing the exploit that he used.
The marriage between one man and one woman has a distinctly different character than the union of two men, or a man and a dog, or 3 women, etc...
Senator Santorum? Is that you?
On Tuesday, I got up and drove in to work. My partner, who is disabled and doesn't work, got up around the same time and did the laundry, put up some more of the Christmas lights, and brushed the cat. She made dinner when I got home; we sat and ate at the kitchen table and then watched the first episode of Stargate: Atlantis that we'd ordered from Netflix. Oh, and after that, before going to bed, I played Zuma for a while and she played some Bejeweled--we're both sadly addicted to PopCap Games.
Please explain how any of that has a "distinctly different character" because both my partner and I are women.
The question is who defines what porn is, and what happens when something gets labelled as porn. For example, if the.xxx domain is created, will I no longer be able to post fanfiction to my LiveJournal, since LJ is a.com?
Pachter's analysis doesn't take into account one of the primary factors that keeps people at Netflix: selection. Blockbuster simply doesn't have the variety that Netflix does. If you want anything more than standard Hollywood fare, you're unlikely to find it at Blockbuster. Some people may switch because of the price wars, but for the most part, I think you're dealing with two different customer bases.
I have very small hands, and I've found that while the iMac keyboard is actually easier for me to use, the mouse was awful. As soon as it was availablem I replaced the mouse with a Kensington Orbit trackball, and my wrists have thanked me.
When someone says that the U.S. was "meant to be a European nation," and that "We can assimilate 100 Englishmen better than 100 Zulus," and describes the Sharpesville Massacre of 60 blacks in South Africa as "Whites mistreating a couple of blacks," I call that man a racist.
When someone says that if the mayor of New York does not cancel the Gay Pride march, then he will be responsible for the spread of AIDS, I call that man a homophobe.
When someone says that "women are simply not endowed by nature with the same measures of single-minded ambition and the will to succeed in the fiercely competitive world of Western capitalism," I call that man a sexist.
I am well aware, thank you, that there are neo-Nazis on the Net. But perhaps you didn't hear Buchanan's speech at the RNC in 1992. I did, and I will never forget him saying that "...as they took back the streets of LA, block by block, so we must take back our cities, and take back our culture, and take back our country." I'm an African-American, queer woman--one of the people that he wants to take back the country from. Sure sounds like the man who said in 1991 that "David Duke is busy stealing from me...I have a mind to go down there and sue that dude for intellectual property theft." is a hatemonger to me, and I will continue to call him that.
The reason that the Union needed to be preserved was because the South seceeded--because they feared that Lincoln, who was anti-slavery, would start pushing for the end of slavery. And, in fact, most of the Northern volunteers, especially from places like New England, which were nowhere near the fighting, did so because they wanted to see slavery end. Lincoln himself changed the focus of the war, because he knew that "the Union," was an amorphous entity for most people--saying, "This is a ware to free the slaves," sounded much more noble, and like a cause worth fighting for.
Re your comments on the Holocaust: the American public didn't know about the full extent of the atrocity, but it's fairly well documented that Allied military intelligence certainly did.
Finally, Buchanan is not being demonized for daring to question the prevailing orthodoxy. He's being demonized for being a racist, sexist, anti-Semitic, homophobic bigot. I, for one, am glad that there are people who won't let his hate-mongering pass by ignored. I do find it interesting that when Louis Farrakkhan says that Hitler was an "evil genius," black officeholders and candidates are asked to disassociate themselves from his remarks, but when Buchanan praises Hitler, no one demands that white leaders, or even Republican leaders, distance themselves from the hatred that he spews--and, in fact, he gets rewarded by being asked to speak at the Republican convention. Go figure.
Funny, that...I've been wondering who needs men, since I have a Playstation. So what if Sephiroth is only a collection of pixels? He's so...well drawn...
What's so awful about having different colored computers? Fact is, the only thing I'd change about my Rev. A iMac (besides having a G4 instead of a G3 inside) would have been to make it purple. I like having a machine that is aesthetically pleasing, especially since my computer room is also my living room.

"an institution the world at large has held sacred for thousands of years?"
Mmm, right. The institution that for most of human history has been about property rights and financial and political alliances...that institution?

With social skills like that, Romeo, surely you have no problem getting laid. Feh.
