The real Templars were disbanded in the early 14th century. These claimants are nothing more than another bunch of modern wannabes (founded in 1804). They have no legal standing to sue. And since the only immortal survivor of the templar persecution died in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," I somehow doubt they're going to be able to find anyone who was an actual victim to join their lawsuit.
Hey, let's not make fun of the guy. I think he's paid his dues, time after time. He's done his sentence, and committed no crime. And sure, he's made bad mistakes. He's made a few.
He's had a lot of sand kicked in his face. But he's come through.
That would be great, if they were HIS computers. But those computers belong to the taxpayers who fund that library, not him. They are not his to give away. If the FBI doesn't return them, do you think he's going to pony up the cash to replace them?
Dear all you assholes who said I should get off the couch,
While you were running, sweating, panting, and generally making yourself miserable--I was playing videogames. And soon, for all that hard work, you'll be in no better shape than I am.
SO WHO'S STUPID NOW, HUH?!?!?!
Yours truly,
The guy who had fun while you suffered
Yes, because Newt Gingrich and Dennis Hastert were *SO* well-known for their kind-hearted efforts to make peace with the opposition party and affect bi-partisan legislation. Nope, no heavy-handedness with those guys.
Apparently Republicans have forgotten that they're in the minority now (an easy mistake to make, considering how Democrats have spent most of the last two years on their knees). Republicans have also apparently forgot how THEY treated Democrats when they were the majority (forcing them out of hearings, refusing to debate bills, shutting down Democratic filibusters, etc.)
I've used GG for years, Deja News for years before THAT, and a usenet client ("Free Agent" for any of you old-timers who still remember that 16-bit monstrosity). I find GG to be a great front-end for usenet. It's not quite as good as Deja News was, granted. But it still beats the *shit* out of any stand-alone newsreader, particularly when it comes to older threads or when you want to see someone's posting history. About the only thing the stand-alone newsreader is still good for are binaries, and those are going the way of the dodo bird (thanks to our government nannies).
It's not like there's some LAW that protects your personal effects against unreasonable searches and seizures or anything. Geez what are you guys, a bunch of terrorist-lovers?
Actually, Usenet was first bought by Deja News, which was in turn bought by Google.;-)
And yes, some of us still use usenet. It's still the only place to go where you don't have to constantly worry about butting heads with moderators. This has its downside (with flamewars and insults flying), but there is still an important place for it.
And maybe THEY should have waited to have a decent index before they started hyping themselves to everyone who would listen as some sort of "Google killer."
I did a search for some local state government agencies, and Cuil didn't turn up a single one (as if the entire state government simply doesn't exist). Google returned perfectly apprpriate results every time.
Language is fluid, my friend. You can either deal with it or spend the rest of your life being that annoying prick who smugly corrects anyone who uses the word "irony" to mean anything other than its classical literary meaning (you know, the guy no one wants to be friends with).
And if you really want to bitch, complain about what's happened to the term "gay."

The same thing that happens if Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are ever allowed into heaven. We all cease to exist.
Australia was considered a harsher punishment.
January 19, 1861. Didn't keep it for long, though.
He meant CIVILIZED settlers.
I suspect it has less to do with freedom and more to do with the Olympics.
If the websense software on my workplace computer can block this site, I'm pretty sure the Chinese government can too.

Newradio and The Ben Stiller Show are also the only TV series where you can see the rarest-of-all-rare sights on television: a sober Andy Dick.
It's pronounced ASWEAPAY!

As with all Anthrax suicides, now he's going to wake up dead in a plywood bed six feet from the rest of his life.

My dad and I once built a tire swing in the alt.* tree.

It's the only "Certificate of Appreciation" that really matters.

What a joke.
Maybe Cuil employees get /. mod points along with the strawberries.
I'm just surprised that apparently all it takes is $12 million to do it.
