Why do people think what happened to Jessica Lynch was terrible but have no problem with Guantanamo bay?
Are you suggesting that US Soldiers are anally raping Gitmo prisoners? By the accounts I have read, most leave Gitmo heavier than when they arrived. If we were behaving like our terrorist foes, they would meet a fate not unlike Daniel Pearl.
According to all the "media recounts", Bush won the election unless you counted the votes against methods prescribed by Florida law -- much like Johnny Carson's Carnac. I don't know if you understand US Presidential Elections, but our President is elected by the Electoral College not by the popular vote. Bush won by 2% in the Electoral College.
Bush and his government do not listen to the UN, detain prisoners with no charges, and therefore do not believe in democracy.
The UN does not dictate to the United States because we are a sovereign country. It would unconstitutional for President Bush to allow the UN to dictate to USA. The US does not detain "prisoners" without charges. We do, however, place into detention terrorists that have attacked or are plotting to attack the US or its military. It is very simple not become a guest of Gitmo, do not conspire with terrorist organizations that threaten to cause mass casualties. We do believe in democracy in America and brought it to many nations around the world. Two shining examples are Germany and Japan.
I understand that it is vogue in many minority "clickish" groups to engage in vitriolic hyperbole in regards to our President. Those that have underestimated our President's intelligence or will have found themselves on the losing side of not only elections but of history. There are many complaints that can be brought up about our President such as his love of big government programs but it is rare to ever hear valid ones from his foes, much to their electoral peril. President Bush main strength is that he is constantly underestimated and overly mocked.
Its not the method of voting that matters, its those that manage the polling booths. Vote fraud has a long history that precedes even influence of computers on our society. If the people we intrust to count our votes, be them paper or electronic, are corrupt, the method makes no matter.
Frankly, I am not as concerned about electronic voting as I am getting Americans to actually vote in the first place.

If they cannot call you to get you to change your long distance service, maybe they are doing to "telemarket" to your inbox. The Federal 'Do Not Call List' is changing the way a lot of traditional telemarketers are doing their business. Since they are now being fined for calling you, they need another way to invade your life and bombard you with offers. Having a technology that can circumvent spam blocking would be a step up on the competition.
I am in the market for a small home DSL router and now that Belkin is completely out of the running, what would you choose? I would love one with SNMP monitoring. I currently have an old LinkSys 4 port-er. 802.11g would be nice to have on it. Any suggestions?
Actually this is a good idea. The Wachowski brothers are determined to screw up The Matrix, making a MMORPG based on the Matrix is just going to take it to that next level of suckdom.
Why couldn't they have just left it to the first movie instead ruining it all with these HORRIBLE sequels. Hopefully, Larry will go ahead and get his balls cut off. He deserves it -- it's just too bad he will most likely enjoy it.
Have you checked the financial position of Haliburton in the last two quarters? If you did, you wouldn't be making such an asinine, politically predictable comment. If this was such a benefit to Haliburton, their stock would have skyrocketed. I never heard the complaints when Haliburton was working for the Clinton Administration in Kosovo. It is this sort politically short sighted comments that have doomed the Democrats -- a party I should be voting for because they match my social persuation but cannot stomach because of the empty, bumper sticker rhetoric that has been spewing forth in the last two years.
Unfortunately, the Senate is having a problem with members of the Senate Intelligence Committee trying to use classified intelligence as political weapons. If Senators had Americans as their priority instead of their seats and their party, we might have some sort of sensible legislation pass in Congress.
Yes. I need a music store though, I play my own MP3s. Apple can always change it's mind and other sites can certainly support the iPod. iTunes is more than a store application. Download it and try it out to find out.
It kicks the crap out of every other MP3 player on the planet with it's tight integration with iTunes. I have owned several different brands of Mp3 players but I will never give up my iPod.
Satire is a little different than that of bold faced, violent threats. I would not be threatened by someone advocating a pie attack when compared to someone advocating my death.
There are death/violent threats against Luskin contained on the blog in question. It's one thing to call someone a bad name, its another to assist in the advocacy of violence against another. That crosses the line. It appears Luskin wants those removed. If that happens, it looks like the suit will be dropped. Not all to unreasonable. Defending threatning behavior is not defending the 1st Amendment.
Microsoft does have a Mac Business Unit that produces an excellent version of their Office package. Microsoft has every right to can anyone they (barring contracts) but this seems like an overreaction. A Microsoft stockholder would want to know that Microsoft is testing and developing their Mac Business Unit products on the latest and greatest Macs.
However, there is probably more to this story than we are reading -- mainly because the site is/.-ed.

Do we have a treaty that states that the UN can usurp the US Constitution? I haven't looked it up but I don't think that is the case.

Thank you for making my point about the foes of President Bush.
You are right. America is not a Democracy but a Constitutional Representative Republic. We just like to call ourselves a "Democracy".

Worst. Mob. Tech. Support. Story. Ever.

How many Windows Security Threats have made me work over 24 hours straight? 1 every 2 two months in 2003
Guess which OS I like to support?
Wouldn't R2D2 be considered a puppet more than a robot?

They have a better plot line than Matrix Revolutions.
Gee, I'm sorry I can't have an opinion. They must have thrown out the 1st Amendment and forgot to tell me.

And this has to do with what is going on in the Senate, how?
Do I want to see this movie or what? The suspense, the action and oh, the irony!!!

I should have said, "I don't need a music store". Silly typo.

Just hope he is getting sued for blogging, period. That would be justice. Cat pictures alone should get you 3-5 years hard labor.
