They believe in spouting jingoistic bullshit, but Patriotism?!? Sure, right.
Were that the case, provide any scrap of evidence for that shit you're spouting.
Perhaps they don't feel the federal government is spending wisely and figure the state and local governments would do better with their dollars, as the constitution specifies in these nonenumerated powers. Democrats better accept that people with differing opionions can be just as reasoned as they, unless they want to keep handing the Presidency to the religious right for the next couple decades.
Were that the case, then they would actually live up to that. Instead, they suck so hard on the government tit with farm subsidies and the like that they take in up to $2 for every $1 they pay in taxes. So they talk the talk, but get them to actually step up and pay their own way in the world? Good fucking luck.
If not, it's making me wonder if I can make money selling fully configured MythTV boxes or something,
There are people doing this already. Having just gotten my first one working, I think there is definately a market. For example, after sending a link to my MythWeb URL already my Mother, Father in law, and Sister in law put in orders which I might not have the energy to fill;-)
You may not be saying that non-vegetarians are monsters, but it's a pretty common meme. "Don't hurt the cute fluffy animals", mainly espoused by city-dwellers who wouldn't recognise an ocelot from a tabby-cat. Not that I'm suggesting we all start eating house-cats...
Well, I'm a city dweller and if you came after my cat, there'd be trouble. Of course if you got between me and my grill there'd be trouble too. Of course, you seem more like the type who'd pull up a chair, grab a beer and wait for the feast to be done.

Basically, if they own a buggy, they're Amish. If they own a car, they're Mennonite.:) But if they're standing side by side on a sidewalk you'd never be able to tell who is who.
You make sense, and yet don't I remember the same thing being said about Red Hat back in '99?
Sure, and it all turned out true. Look at Linux then and now. It wasn't all Red Hat's doing, of course, but they have done a tremendous amount of work and accomplished a great deal.
This is a common misconception. I'd ask that you install and become familiar with Gentoo before you casually dismiss it.
No doubt. Gentoo is mainly geared as a server OS. We use it at my work, but we generally just do stage3 installs so no ricing involved. It does have some great tools for doing one build and rolling it out to all your servers without concerning yourself with all the different architectures among other things.
Heck, my wife just finished her 3rd Gentoo install last night. Of course it was on an older laptop so she went sleep after emerging KDE and it was still chugging along this morning;-)
how do you propose to legitimize all of the other lies of the administration?
For example the aluminum tubes. The administration stated repeatedly that they were for making nukes, yet every scientist with any knowledge of the matter stated that they were not capable of being used in this capacity.
How about when Bush made his big speech stating as absolute fact that the CIA told him were not confirmed and that he *should not use*.
How about the yellow cake forged student paper incident?
How about stating outright that they knew exactly where the WMDs were?
Seriously dude, be a fan boy all you want, but to deny that this administration lies when they've been caught in a huge number of them just makes you look foolish and destroys any credibility that some of your arguments actually have.
You analogies don't even remotely resemble the situation.
Try this on for size:
It's like a bully continually for generations kicks the shit out of a bunch of people. One of the people quite justifiably gets pissed off and kicks the bully in the balls.
Your argument is that the bully whose actions *for decades* have been far worse than one kick in the balls is totally blameless in this situation.
Now, do you start to see how far outside reality your idiotic comparisions are?
Now, my analogy breaks down as well. Nothing is ever this simple, and there are *no* good guys in this situation. There are some seriously evil fucks on *both* sides (until you realise this fact you will continue to be deluded and clueless about the world around you) and there are a lot of innocent victims on both sides as well.
So while my analogy is flawed, it's far closer to the truth than yours. Given how bad mine was, think of how seriously sick and deluded you seem to us outside of your head.
Unfortunately, my country has to put up with an entire province full of people like this. My sincerist apologies to the world for the likes of this guy, Celine Dion, and a whole list of others whom we couldn't keep within the borders of their fascist province.
Look, I appreciate your comment, and you do get credit for William Shatner as well, but I think we're also going to need a personal apology for Alanis Morrisette.
Here is Motorola's developer site. I doubt that they have info on hacking the V710 to open it up, but they do have lots of tools for programming for their phones.
I just recently needed a new phone, and I did a lot of research into it which is a major reason I didn't get that phone. I was previously on Verizon with just the free crappy Kyocera that they were giving away when I signed up and I wasn't too happy with their service. My phone broke a few times in the first month, and going into the store I noticed that there was always a line of at least 5 people waiting for the one customer support person they had on duty while 4 salespeople were standing around doing jack.
That's a sure sign of a poorly run business (from the customer's perspective).
So as I was researching phones, I found out that Verizon really does go out of their way to break their phones, but they try to avoid taking responsibility for their actions by having Motorola (or whoever) advertise the full capabilities of the phone while crippling those features at the request of verizon.
I ended up going with a Motorola A630 from TMobile. It's pretty cool. My major complaint is that the speaker is crappy. There is an SSH client available for it, but you need to hack your Java socket library to access the real internet. I haven't done this yet, but I plan to as soon as I finish my MythTV box (just need to hook it back into the cable box so it can change channels Has anybody done this with a Motorola 2524 box on Comcast in Chicago, or do I need to go the IR Blaster route?) and get CARP set up on my firewalls.
My main advice for phone shoppers is this:
Do not buy a BREW phone, make sure it runs real Java. BREW is designed to keep you from running what you want to on your own phone unless you pay again and again.
Do not use Verizon, unless you're getting the barest bones phone available and only want to use it to make phone calls. Otherwise you will apy through the nose.
This comes down to "God's lifting capacity is +\Inf, the weight of the rock He creates is also +\Inf, so which is larger?" but it's meaningless mathematically to compare two infinite quantities.
Ignoring your theological statements, your mathematical statements are dead wrong. There is a large chunk of mathematics which meaningfully compares various different infinities. Here is a decent place to start. It's an absolute (mathematically speaking) proof that while there are an infinite amount of integers and an infinite amount of real numbers there are (in a very well defined sense) more real numbers than there are integers.
This isn't at all like the fact that there are "more" integers than there are even integers i.e. all even integers are integers, but there are integers that are not even. In this case there are the same infinite number of integers as there are even integers. The infinite number corresponding to the integers (and the naturals, and the rationals etc) is fundamentally different than the infinite number corresponding to the real numbers.
I think we should be able to make SOAP calls from javascript directly - that would solve all these stupid XSD schemas and SDKs for each and every REST webservice they use with AJAX.
I wrote a mozilla based application about 3 years ago that used simple javascript SOAP calls. As far as I could tell at the time, this wasn't supported by IE. I don't know if it is yet or not.
Here is an O'reilly article from 2002 talking about how to do it.
I've always held the view that the main aim of Greenpeace is to preserve the existence of Greenpeace. But I guess that's the way many large organisations eventually go.
I read a book called, "You are being lied to" from these guys One of the last articles was by one of the original founders of Greenpeace. He basically said he formed it to achieve certain goals. He split when people started talking about retirement plans etc.
You're right of course. We are forcibly emigrating the entire Iraq population to Guantanamo Bay. Thanks for clearing that up.
Well, as it's pointless to attempt to have a reasoned conversation with somebody entirely lacking in reading comprehension skills, I'll leave you to your delusions.
Okay, a *few* Iraqis have been moved to a country near the US, but such cases are for enemy combatants.
Oh no no no. Be very careful here. They are cases where somebody claimed that they were enemy combatants while offering no proof and no way for those people to defend themselves from those charges. There is a world of difference between those two things.

You got all that from two lines of text?
Your analogy was clear and indicated your attitude. US/Britian are pure innocents and the Arabs are pure evil.
That is the analogy *you* chose to make.
I attempted to inject a little reality into your worldview which seriously needs it if that's really how you think.
If you thought two lines of text were enough to express your thoughts, then why would it be so hard to believe that you succeeded?
Well Antonius,
how do you propose to legitimize all of the other lies of the administration?
