It was probably some radical-christian-abortion clinic bombing-red neck from the deep south. Those fanatics are the craziest, most absolute minded idiots on earth. In a sense, they are the people we are at war with, because they have the same brain as the Islamo-rads. They are both, equally, Enemies of the State.
I know most intelligent people have been aware of the idiocy of the war in Iraq, "fighting over there and not here". But by now I really believe that anyone still clinging to the idea that we would be safer spending all of our resources flaming a fire in another part of the world rather than "buttoning up" our defenses (military wise AND commercial) back home, has a serious short circuit in their ability to use reason, or events to shape their opinion or philosophy (whew).
So what's next? We will eventually secure the Iraq oil production industry (it's probably already the most secure element in Iraq), train the Iraqis to protect and pump our oil, then where will the fighting end up? By then we will have created FAR more enemies than we had before 9-11, and we will have a military bogged down overseas, not to mention a deficit of men and women to fill those boots. Not to mention the fact that we really out-foxed ourselves with the oil, 61 $/barrel.
On a somewhat brighter note, I have to say that I was impressed with the speach pm Blair gave after the attack. I can get kinda choked up when I hear a speach like that. I especially admire the purity in his sense of justice as he explicitly protected the morality of the vast mojority of Moslems, who indeed, also abhor terrorism. It takes a strong will to sustain injury and maintain your integrity. I believe that is one of England's finest characteristics.
I would agree with the analogy. Population growth, whether it be bacteria, plant or animal will always grow exponetially when there is resource to support that growth. It's just easy to study in bacteria.
I have always thought that over population is at the root of the world's most pressing issues. I have also always believed that people who live in the "civilized world" should be able to draw this conclusion as they are fortunate to be recipients of high levels of education, scientific and otherwise. Therefore I concluded a long time ago that it is morally irresponsible and selfish to mankind for a person, man or woman, to ever create more than one human being. The "perfect family" is the family of 4 that stays together.
so i dont like the fact that i cant install a package i buy at the store on both my desk and my lap top. its not a matter of whether or not its illegal, its a matter of what the american consumer is willing to swallow.
not just france and spain, but the UK and most of western europe.
anthropoligists would probably speculate on the family tree of anyone with an occipital bun. an occipital bun is a bulge at the base of the skull by the spinal chord believed to assist as a counter-weight for neandertal heads and also as protection against neck injuries. feel the back of your skull, then feel the base of your best friend's or your girl or boy friend's skull. chances are, one of you may have an occipital bun, ouch!! there's also the heavy brow ridge that runs accross the forehead along the brow that some folks have, that ain't human either.
and no, neandertals didnt have "large" noses, they had stout, turned up noses, round, flared nostrils. short and stocky builds, yes. they were in fact so close to homosapiens that many anthropologists believe unquestionably that humans absorbed both neandertals and homosapiens.
they have plenty of known neandertal DNA, which isnt that old, some as young as a few hundred years. old dried out DNA just zips itself back together in water, why cant they use it to clone one? we could send him to an ivy league school and make him president of the US and everything:)
nice brain. this discussion brings to light the theory that paleantologists have subscribed to for 100 years that neandertal man walked and perhaps lived next to homosapiens and the only thing that comes to your mind is how we might be go about exploiting some group of people as "even cheaper labor". dont look now, but you might be the caveman.:)
err, um, i believe thats what they call "fraud", and its usually illegal. but yeah, ha ha. its no more fraudulent than claiming the police are going to be called out in droves to retrieve your laptop, when the reality is they may get around to sending you a form to report your stolen goods. that is, if they're not too busy with the counter-terrorist stuff.
wow, what kind of information do you think a determined individual could find out by jacking the police bandy? THAT CANT be good. could he, for example, find out the names of people who were pulled over that day? or perhaps he could get the names of victims of crimes.
you said a mouth full.
on the one hand, i would like to think that "stealing" can and should be universally understood, but then, human rights need to be universally understood too. and this guy whose fate is s total flip of the coin now, he's really a victim of an industry that has been allowed to open up and "run with it" with little govt regulation, no rules, no precidents, just opportunities of one form or another. as a citizen, you can argue that he was entitled the right to know whether what he was doing was wrong and what the penalty would be. i think he should have known he was stealing, but how severe is this charge of stealing... hmm?
yeah, i think the american populace needs to get its head out its arse fo sure, americans seem soo comfortable with the idea of big business making decisions for them. ive always wondered why child porn, for example, is so easily available on the net, when we wouldnt dream of finding it in the supermarket or on tv, information age, ha.
the RIAA is full of shit and everyone knows it. the DMCA needs to be repealed. there are some basic rights americans have as comsumers that are rooted in our right to gad damn privacy. i have the right to do what ever the heck i want to do with a product ive purchased. i can re-sell it at a garage sale if i want to. old books, records, cd's, whats the dif? the dif is, that in the 21st century big corperations have really learned what they need to do to in order to maximize thier profits at any and every turn. enter the digital millenium copyright "act". i don like it. and i especially dont like it when people like cohen from the nytimes make generalizing statements about "law" that arent even true, or may have no precident yet, like so much of the internet intellectual property issues. 20 years ago, no one ever used to words "public domain", but that phrase would have meant the same thing then, as it does now. but i have to say, that bandy hacking is nothing like the so-called copyright infringement issues brought up in the DMCE (digital milenium copy-right era). bandy hacking is straight up theft.
another problem with anologies is that they are sometimes called precidents. but i agree with you, nothing is ever black and white. you have to site many anologies or precidents to start to paint a portrait of a topic in a fair light.
yes, i think youre onto it because if you were to ask most users whether or not they wanted someone listening in on their phone calls or internet business and remain unaware of it, i would suggest that they all would want to retain their privacy. ask a guy with a loud car radio whether or not he wanted other people to hear him, i suppose he answer that he intends for others to hear. loud music is also the "end" of that particular transmission. there is no other outlet for that energy, it is deep sinked, 86ed, and while it still may be illegal to blast that music, its considered pretty harmless, just annoying. invasion of privacy and identity theft is a different story.
cept that when someone is blasting music, they are giving that "gift" to you. if you want to share your bandy with someone, thats really your right, whether you want to let them into your house or take your laptop out side, etc. but taking it without the owners knowledge, obviously thats stealing.
the nytimes writer compared band hacking to "..buying a microsoft product and sharing it with all friends in your apartment...it's stealing.". well, bandy hacking is stealing, sharing a product with your friends is a RIGHT. i cant believe a nytimes writer actually said that. either he's a liar, or he doesn't know what he's talking about.

you obviously dont know anything. youre just a red neck mouth piece, thats really sad.
people who don't lock their doors are unrealitic and they are inviting injury, just not very wise.

World will be a better place once the institutions of the worlds religions back the heck out of matters of science.
