...but the problem is, this guy has less crediblity than the late Henry B. Gonzalez (D) San Antonio, TX who, on an almost monthly basis called for a Reagan impeachment all through the 80's.
This is nothing more than a political stunt, and only half a degree more effective than the Olympia city clownsil (Washington) passing a resolution calling for the impeachment of Bush.
Now, all of the knee-jerk Anti-MS guys have to get new keyboards after their collective orgasms when they see this as a sign of Microsofts soon-to-be demise.
What happens when you compress something? It becomes more dense. As something becomes more dense it starts to approach the solid. Solid is typically more hard. Granted, it may have taken a scientist with resources to figure out what all the properties and reactions were, but as for "Water gets more solid as it is compressed", DUH.
They have proclaimed that all people are equal, have equal rights, should have equal lives. Much like Karl Marx. Actually, their premise is exactly that of Karl Marx, and leads the same place: Communism.
The facts are:
Not everyone is equal - they may be born equal, arguably, but choices they make, choices their parents make, limit their equality
Not every nation, culture, creed, or faith is of equal value - to apply some sort of sliding moral window to each is to eventually allow great evil to slip through
Those who figure it out, deserve the benefits of figuring it out
Not everyone deserves an equal footing
In order for there to be:
Success, someone must be failure
Good, there must must be evil
Those that help, there must be those to be helped
Scores must be kept, someone must win, someone must lose, and sharing is nice in kindergarten, and only productive when its a strategic decision that works until you have the ability to kill your competition
Appearance of impropriety. Putting any official government *anything* on servers owned by any political party is just plain wrong.
Gaijin ha bakka deshou.
Genius, the servers weren't owned by the party. They are owned by a business that is owned by a guy that supports the party. Just as if you, and I'm assuming you might support the democrats, might own a server that also takes business from all sources and even takes government contracts.
And, genius, if you note, I didn't say the example PBS sites were on DNC owned servers, I used the example of a company with DNC sympathies.
At some point, you did take a reading comprehension test, right? Or, are you a victim of the California or Washington school systems?
Even if your suggestion is true the fact that any political party is so well integrated with the *vote*counting* agency is not a good thing.
My Gods!
The Secretary of State is an elected, partisan position in every single state of the union. However, the "vote counting" is done at the local precinct level, usually by county elections staff which in some cases are elected, some cases appointed, some cases partisan, some not.
The web site in question is just a site for reporting result to the electorate. It has nothing to do with how the votes are counted.
This is akin to Fox News screaming, "Oh, look, somebody, PBS's web site is run by a company that is owned by a man who makes huge donations to the DNC!"
The simple fact is, the state of Ohio contracted out to a web hosting service to handle increased traffic on its web site for election returns. The site itself has nothing to do with how the votes are counted or managed. It is a report only.
...to include "Nixon".
Now, move along. Has anyone ever thought it was to handle the extra traffic from people checking on election returns? Or did you actually believe that the web site was processing votes?
Dude, you got modded flamebait for harshing someones anti-bush, anti-republican, anti-reality-check buzz.

As if American chocolate wasn't bad enough as it is...
Apparently, you have not had San Francisco's native chocolate. Perhaps some of the best in the world. Again, the Bay Area takes something that a European country is known for, makes it their own, and produces a better quality. First wine, now chocolate.
You may be refering to the "toy" chocolate that is sold to kids by Hershey.
For the worlds worst chocolate you have to look at that near plastic stuff they sell in Japan.
Remember, this is Canada we are talking about, where, for a short while, it was illegal to name a cow with a human name all because a mid-level functionary, and hyper-sensitive twit shared the same name as a state owned cow. Jesus fucking christ, you are an idiot.
I've got 5 GMail accounts, including this one, that I use for the sole purpose of spam catching. If Google wants to archive all my spam, great. I check the accounts on the order of once or twice a month and have yet to see their spam filter work efficiently.

I wish I'd stop hearing this. Haliburton is a construction company
What do they build? Kellog-Brown-Root (my uncle ran risk analysis for KRB) builds, wait for...OIL FIELDS, oil storage and pumping stations, and port transfer systems. If you don't think Haliburton has their finger in oil, you are sadly deluded.
?? You're applying 1945-period behavior to the modern world? Hahahahaa. Countries were economically naive then compared to now. Economies are more complex now, countries are more sophisticated. If we nuke Muslim countries I guarantee they won't be buying our Disney T-shirts or selling us cheap oil unless we seize it of course. Instead, they'll shift to deals with countries not hostile to Muslims. Russia, China come to mind. How naive warhawk ideologues are. John Bolton, is that YOU on Slashdot? I always figured you for an AOL type, not a Linux guy, Mr. B.
You forget one of your complexities: Multinational corporations. You can't get away from them. Boycott if you will, you will still be dealing with them. The jackasses that wanted to boycott French companies couldn't get away from them.
3. Was localized and while levels increased, nothing really came out of it except for those directly involved in the blast or recovery.
"Nothing really came out of it". What planet are you from? You trivialize atrocity? One only has to read any Japanese studies to refute your denials: "Estimated Relative Risks of Cancers at 1 Gray (1950-85); Mental Retardation of In Utero Exposed Children; Genetic Studies of the Children of A-bomb Survivors (Hiroshima and Nagasaki) etc, ad nauseum. The effects on the people and the land were large and lasting. Nobody denies that except maybe farmers in the Ozarks, and Condi Rice, who isn't nappy-headed no matter what Don Imus says.
Uh, sparky, quote me fully. I said "localized" in response to your "we're all going to glow" type of statement. Second, I have lived in Japan for 6 years (half of that working for multinational corporations). I speak the language fluently. I am very aware of Japanese attitudes about the bombs. Ask the Chinese, Koreans, Philipino, Burmese, and Pacific Islanders about atrocities. Ours was aimed at stopping them.
How many people in Iowa, Seattle, Phoenix, Seoul, Beijing, Chernyobl, Moscow, Cape Town, etc. had Nagasaki or Hiroshima related illnesses after the bombies. I'm not minimizing anything the Japanese suffered, just saying, it was local to them. Cost of war. A cost that was worth the price, we were right (as a shorter version of the word "righteous") in our action.
What are you smoking, War Hero? Oil per barrel has been up 3x since Bush's false war started. Gas prices are higher. I'm sure you're paying a lot more these days to fill the tank of your Hummer, the one with the gun rack you drive to WalMart? For numbers see: http://www.house.gov/jec/publications/110/rr110-2. pdf.
Sparky, one more time, check the price of a barrel now compared to last summer. It was hire then. It is not OPEC it is Exxon, Haliburton, and American politicians.

The facts are:
No, he just compared a T1 line to a lobster dinner.
Alright, you know, if you had asked me this question, way back when, I would have said it acts like a solid. Why is this news, am I missing something?
I'm going to cut you a break on this though because it is obvious that:
