The problem with the modern Republican Party is that the wingnuts (i.e. Tom DeLay, Bill Frist, Rick Santorum, et al) are so loud about their controversial opinions that they effectively serve as the "face" of the party, which is unfair to the more moderate Republicans like McCain.
My feeling is that Republicans make anti-sodomy laws an important part of their "culture war" because they know that, in a more informed society, their foreign policy (or lack thereof) would have them booted out of office years ago. They take the "family values" line to appeal to those who generally don't vote, so that they get more votes from the uninformed.
I suppose you could also argue that there is a hint of fascism in neoconservatism, especially when you take into account the heavy emphasis on the state ("Why do you hate America?") as well as the concentration of power into one executive.
The proper phrase is "neo-conservative." They were liberals at one point or another, but allied with the Nixon administration over anti-communism and that nonsense. They aren't "conservative" according to the traditional definition, except for the heavy emphasis on "family values."

^^That should give a better idea of what a neo-con is.
And in other news, the Beatles are more popular than Jesus.
But seriously, with free Xbox Live on the weekends (unless I'm horribly misinformed), I think the download rate might rival that of iTunes, at least per month.
At $6400, who will buy the 32 gig one? While I love the extra space, it seems a little unecessary. You could use an iPod for the same purpose (external hard drive) for a hell of a lot less money.
Well, the network at my school uses NetWare and Novell, and I haven't had too many problems with it thus far. Of course, I'll probably have to switch to Microsoft once I graduate, but I don't see what advantages Microsoft has over Novell.
Hmm...somehow, I think this is going to end up very similar to "Smallville." Luke had no knowledge of his abilities before Obi-Wan Kenobi told him. Although there is a plethora of non-canonical information on what exactly happened before Episode 4, is it really going to keep Star Wars fans entertained? I have my doubts, I'd rather see a show about Leia's childhood, or perhaps a show dealing with both.

I looked and found no mention of free Xbox Live.
Interactive media promotes the idea of fanfic, just on a graphic level.
Don't waste your time, let Windows Vista crash a lesser graphics card.

What market is it directed towards? I hardly imagine that typical gamers or animators would have the funds for such a card.
