Uninsightful was the key word (if it is actually a word) that made his own statement specific and not so much broad and sweeping. Presumably, an insightful but still broad and sweeping statement wouldn't have undermined the point.
People who criticize the Bush admin are not necessarily idiots. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to do so and these data retention "problems" are definitely one of them. And no, no one has forgotten past administrations' scandals, it's just that past administrations' scandals do not legitimize the actions and practices of this administration.
I've posted this before, but here's a survey that shows Americans are against Warrantless Wiretaps, Blanket Warrants, And Immunity For Telecom Companies.
I think you're right, I don't think the intention is for women to impregnate themselves with sperm created from their own bone marrow. The idea is that a woman can impregnate another woman.
I was born in 1980 and at some point in my childhood, we got a colecovision. I must have been pretty young because I don't remember a lot of it, but I think I remember playing Donkey Kong, Mouse Trap and Qbert. I more vividly remember my NES with SMB/Duck Hunt, Zelda and Final Fantasy.
Don't forget downgrade rights. You should be able to purchase OEM licenses of Windows XP Pro and then install Windows 2000.
Unfortunately, I don't think this is the case with Vista. I think Vista's downgrade rights only allow you to install the equivalent version of XP and nothing earlier. And this is particularly difficult because most XP licenses require activation, which you won't be able to do without a valid XP serial. So you pretty much need a site license for XP in order to utilize your Vista license downgrade rights (which sucks pretty hard when you think about it).
I'm not sure if it is still the case, but I remember a lot of the beta testers complaining that there was a noticeable performance hit when upgrading to Vista from an installed XP. In order to get the best of a Vista install, they recommended fresh installs.

I was only trying to point out that by calling it an embryo, we are talking about a stage of development that extends past the "clump of cells" and begin enter the stage where you have visible signs of humanity.
I am not trying to change the battle using semantics, but descriptions using the word "embryo" often convey the idea of "tiny baby," or at least it does for me. What the scientists are creating and then using are "blastocysts." No one should get the impression that the scientists are doing something barbaric like tearing off tiny heads and arms to get at valuable innards.
Using the term embryo conveys a level of development not present at up to 14 days of development. At 14 days, we're talking about a blastocyst. Technically, it needs to be 3 weeks old before it can be considered an embryo.

Sounds pretty qay to me.

Hope this doesn't turn out like "I am Legend"
Yet another indication that our government does not represent its people.
Americans tend not to want to be wiretapped without warrants or to give immunity to telecoms.

Wait for the nVidia version. Based on their latest offerings, it'll probably be faster and have more stable drivers.

You're talking about the Taurus Judge. Chambers .410 shotshell and .45 Colt. Touted as a vehicle defense weapon.

I give MS a couple more points to the good for adding a delightful new word to my vocabulary.
