I don't know if you heard about the two blokes jailed for leaking a memo where Bush tells Blair that he wants to bomb the Al-Jazeera headquarters in Doha. Maybe Greg is afraid of an invocation of the patriot act?
Mr. Palast's credibility is top-notch as far as I'm concerned. He always dares to cover stories that everyone else is too scared to do. Look at the wonderful work he's done cornering Goldfinger and vulture funds. Poor kids in Africa are likely to have an education, healthcare and food thanks to his courageous work. Kudos to him!
And on a different note, do you think nature has perfected certain tasks and that its engineering can not be surprassed (at least in some areas), or are there things that even nature hasn't perfected?
My, yes. The human body! Good luck getting anywhere close to that.
At this point, these things aren't really "news" any more, and certainly no longer shocking.
What's shocking is that nobody seems to be doing anything about it. It's like that outrageous CBS/NYT poll which shows 28 percent believe members of the Bush Administration are lying about "what they knew prior to September 11th, 2001, about possible terrorist attacks against the United States."
It's like saying, "yeah, we know, they're all crooks. But whatcha gonna do about it?".
I am not sure how anyone could even suggest something like - 'I CAN, but you sire, CANNOT'. Justice and equality.
Good point! I don't trust Ahmadinejad with nukes, but I don't trust Bush with them either. History shows us that the US attacks countries on false pretenses and that the only thing that matters is their interests.
Plus, a nuclear powered Iran would certainly stabilize the region. They are surrounded by Pakistan, Russia, Israel, and Americans in Iraq, all of whom have nukes.
What does it matter if Bush's approval rating is 0% or 100%? He can't run again, so he might as well do whatever he wants. It's not like he has anything to lose.
Absolutely! It's not like he has a soul or anything of the sort...
Well, the first one has been sentenced to something like nine months. And we're then supposed to believe they're the "worst of the worst"! Gee, impeach the idiot already...
Better yet. How about a song about the terrorist the US harbors? Luis Clemente Faustino Posada Carriles
bombed the Cubana flight 455 in 1976 which killed 73 people. Both Venezuela and Cuba have been demanding his extradition in vain.
I happen to be doing my Master's thesis on exactly this subject. The problem currently with the technology is that there's not enough data for scientists to work on and extract the best metrics. Plus, it's dominated by corporations. My idea was to gather enough data and make them available for future researchers as well as set up an open-source program implementing the best algorithms I'll come up with. Analysis of the data will be done with R and the actual program written in Python. It'd be nice if you could take a minute to send in a sample of your writing on this page: http://www.malti.org/
War happens, war must be fought effectively, and frankly given that I'm not going to sweat a soldier using Linux in a weapon system any more than a farmer should sweat a soldier having a sandwich for lunch.
Taking the case of Iraq; war didn't exactly "happen". Public support was drawn through lies and deceit. The violence is getting worse by the day, and still the troops stay there.
The winners are the bastards who manufacture weapons. Everybody else loses. For all these reasons, I think a clause in the GPL oughta be added.

And somewhere, a chair gets thrown in the bush...
That might have been true in the past. In the age of the Internet, cracks can almost instantly become widespread.
Because your governemnt would prioritize the interests of corporations over those of regular blokes.
Are we supposed to assume that an Anonymous Coward has to be white?

BTW, have Internet radio broadcasters started fleeing America yet? They have a month left till the crazy rates go into effect.
This is excellent news. I'm expecting the US to be one of the last to adopt it because of the influence MS has on politics. Any thoughts?
Why would you need to run Picasa on Wine when you have native debs from Google itself?

It's like saying, "yeah, we know, they're all crooks. But whatcha gonna do about it?".
True. But in a capitalistic system that ran amock, the big bucks get to make the laws and buy justice.
I concur. Thomas Friedman was quoted as saying: "Capitalism eradicates poverty not mortality".
What are you? Stupid? How's net radio any different from other types of radio?
People who want get around copyright, will get around it. They never needed excuses for doing that.
Plus, a nuclear powered Iran would certainly stabilize the region. They are surrounded by Pakistan, Russia, Israel, and Americans in Iraq, all of whom have nukes.
Single minded bigots are an even worst thing anytime, anywhere.

I salute you for speaking your mind freely, Mr...Anony...Oh, nevermind.
Seriously though, a lot of critics of Bush's policies have been put on the no-fly list.
Better yet. How about a song about the terrorist the US harbors? Luis Clemente Faustino Posada Carriles bombed the Cubana flight 455 in 1976 which killed 73 people. Both Venezuela and Cuba have been demanding his extradition in vain.
Talk about double-standards...
