In bygone days, the Republican Party was considered the stupid party, and the Democrats the evil party. In the spirit of bipartisanship, both are now stupid and evil.
Bush has killed several hundred thousand innocent middle eastern people (probably along with a few hundred guilty ones). A large minority of US citizens think this is not only not a bad thing, but not good enough.
Every member of congress that has not sponsored a bill of impeachment as soon as possible after March 2003 is guilty of abetting mass murder. If justice is ever served, they'll all hang.
Excuse me, did you have a question about some kind of email irregularity?
Water is insidious and never gives up. Damn, I might use that as my new sig. Or how about "Water is insidious and relentless." As an amateur plumber, I have cursed water from dusk 'til dawn, with of course the usual effect. (None.) I'm not sure indoor plumbing is such a smart idea.
As for nature, obviously the received wisdom is to slow it down, and clean up later.
Finally, somebody else noticed this guy's a fraud himself. His "mathematics background" evidently ended when he flunked out and started a crusade against tests that were too hard for him.
I was afraid I was going to have to write all that up myself. Thanks!
I'm rather surprised it took so long for somebody to point out this flagrant display of ignorance. It indicates to me that the article isn't worth reading, because if they can't get the fundamentals right, they very likely aren't going to get anything else right.
I am a US citizen, and I'm fairly enraged every time I return from abroad. In Europe or Japan, security, passport checks, and customs are typically quick and painless.
When returning to the US, you're typically screwing around for at least an hour. If you're a US citizen. Processing of foreigners takes longer, and is very similar to in-processing at a county jail. I wonder how many visitors think they've been arrested when they get here? I wonder whether entering the Soviet Union was ever so ridiculous.
Ha.. I was going to reply that he was confusing the puppets with the puppetmasters. As often happens, my point is made more eloquently by someone else.
I doubt Bush even knows who his string-pullers are. Cheney does, though.
I'm quite as amazed as you are, Texas used to be proud of its independence, and individualism. For some reason, although Comrade Perry certainly helps, Texas is trying to out-California California these days.
I guess the damn Yankees have finally completely taken over.
Computer recycling is good, but liberty is more important.
You been living under a rock for 40 years? The federal government has assumed complete jurisdiction over every aspect of the solar system, from the microbial level to the movement of asteroids. And if you have any doubts as to their wisdom or competence, well then, you're just aiding the terrorists!
He knows that, you pedantic twit. There's a good case to be made that the season's climax was in the next-to-last episode. Perhaps you don't agree, but that doesn't make his word usage wrong.
If you outlaw illegal wiretaps, only outlaws will use legal wiretaps. Surely you mean: "If you outlaw illegal wiretaps, only outlaws will use illegal wiretaps.
Or whatever. How retarded are the Whores of Babylon (or is that how retarded do they think the citizenry is), passing another law to outlaw what is already illegal? In the first place, why do so many people seem to assume that passing laws against bad behavior somehow will make that behavior stop?
It's quite clear to anyone paying any attention that Congress is Bush's bitches. And he'll continue doing whatever the hell he wants because Congress hasn't got the balls of a baby field mouse. They're really only there to steal our money (tax) and buy another term in office (spend) anyway.
The proper course would be to impeach, then convict Bush & Cheney of high crimes and misdemeanors. Then ship them to the Hague for their war crimes trials.
There are lots of restrictions on handgun ownership now. People like you who whine for the government to solve all the problems in the world generally seem to think "reasonable restrictions" means a complete ban of handguns. Why is it so difficult for you to understand that passing more laws does not deter someone who's already willing to break laws? Why is it so difficult to understand that passing laws does not suddenly make things the way you want? It merely creates more stupid crimes for the police to investigate and more privacy invasion by the government. And the results are plain: where there are more gun restrictions (in this country), the more gun violence there is.
Hmmm... but possibly a lucrative one. You gotta figure that people who'd be interested in a 1957 Mustang would be up for helping transfer money out of Nigeria, and certainly for making little Johnny's last wish come true.
Charging $0.15 for a message that has an infinitesimal to them is an outrage itself. But they provide no mechanism to stop the bleeding, or specify a limit. The entire pricing structure just screams "let us screw you in the ass". Or maybe "we really want to have every aspect of our business regulated by the government because the only thing we know how to do is screw our customers in the ass".
How about a warning message? How about a hard limit if you want it? How about quick purchase of a 100-pack with your phone? How about automatic upgrades to the next message tier?
I can only assume that phone companies have no marketing people with their heads outside their own ass. Maybe that's why they think people like getting screwed in the ass.

Let the "industry" expose themselves for the idiots that they are. They're well on the way to irrelevance. Why would anyone want to slow them down?
And you're on /. too. Methinks you are deeply confused about your identity. Or completely dependent on computer networks for your life.
Insightful? "Funny" if you interpret this comment as irony. "Hopelessly naive" otherwise.
Lawyers' raison d'etre is to evade the spirit of the law.
We just consider it politics as usual here.

So why didn't they? Wouldn't "proven" outrank "provably"?

"Purchase this item at the present time"
Shooting fish in a barrel holds no thrill for me. Anyone else?
Notwithstanding your excellent point, 90% is a 9-to-1 ratio. Of course it's redundant when correct.
In a totalitarian police state it is.
DUh.

Bashing? I'm pleased that somebody's finally found a benefit of Vista (albeit a small one -- it's not like IPv6 has any traction anyway).

I must be stupid too, as I can't make much sense of your posts.
Please explain in simple words in what way would a digital camera not "work" in space, regardless of what it's next to?

No. TLDs are a bad idea, and creating fixed 2nd-level domains compounds the problem.
