Sorry to burst your bubble but the are a whole lot of people on the "liberal" side as well that hold the same view. There are even many well respected "liberal" lawyers that say Roe was badly decided. The right to "privacy" does not translate into a "right to abortion".
Let me make it easy for you...you don't have the right to travel "anonymously" just "freely". Those are two different things. I don't know where all you/.'ers came up with the idea that you have a right to "anonymous" travel. That isn't even inferred anywhere.
There is a big difference between travelling freely and travelling anonymously. You could infer the constitution gives you the right to travel "freely", you could not infer the "anonymously" part at all.
"If you can't travel anonymously, then you in fact do not have an independent right to petition your government."
There is NOTHING in the constitution that guarantess you can "travel anonymously". It isn't even implied. Your statement has not basis in fact or reality.
I just starting using Opera. I have use FF and Safari. I use Safari mainly but I do like Opera. It is really quick in rendering. I like the little drop down to get to my bookmarks. I like how easy it is to "mock" other browsers. The interface is not clunky but clean and workable.
If anything we should lay it in Clintons lap. He is the one who didn't stop Bin Laden or the terrorists that were attacking US assets. Bush inherited a lot of crap from Clinton. Unless you are going to extend your theory that the two collaborated? That would be far fetched.
No, the terrorists were lucky with the towers. We need better ways of gathering information if we are going to continue to stop terrorist plans on US soil. Don't be fooled, some serious stuff has been stopped and you will probably never know exactly what.
I don't see this data mining as bad as long as there are checks in place. You are either foolish or ignorant of the consequences if it doesn't continue.
I don't see that "targeting" a mosque or muslims is wrong as long as there are checks in place. The muslim groups that are whining sure aren't condemning Bin Laden and radical fundie muslims. Instead they are trying to check the flow of information. I wonder why that is? Hmmmm I have a theory about that. It is probably because Islam is NOT a peaceful religion and their desire IS to convert or kill everyone else. You are not going to hear the majority come out and say that because it would be a foolish move that would set the world against them.
Hmmm...I read the think whatever site. I admit (can you do that on/.) that the presidents did the same thing except the AG went through the right process in the other cases. That still doesn't make what Bush did illegal (since I believe there is a big loophole in FISA) but that isn't for me to decide. If it were up to me I would say keep doing it. I don't think FISA sufficiently covers something like Al Qaeda and what we have to do to intercept terrorist acts.
FISA judge resigned because he is just a clintonite? He had no real reason to do it.
I think the problem is going to be what the court decided and not what prior presidents did. The FISA court itself decided that they could not "encroach" so what exactly does that mean? I have no idea and neither do you. The bigger problem is that FISA has big loopholes.
And before you call the kettle black...make sure yours ins't as well.
President Bush is NOT the only president that believes the office of the president has executive power to conduct warrantless searches to acquire foreign intelligence information. President Clinton did it in 1995 and President Carter did it in 1979.
Even the FISA court itself admitted "that the President did have inherent authority to conduct warrantless searches to obtain foreign intelligence information." President Bush stated that these were only done where ties to Al Qaeda were suspected and so it falls into his authority.
Also in 2002 when the Patriot Act and the FISA act were being looked at for constitunality it was determined by the court "We take for granted that the President does have that authority and, assuming that is so, FISA could not encroach on the President's constitutional power."
Previous administrations believed and faught for the same thing!
That doesn't mean we should not be cautious about any of this though. We should!
The fossil record proves what exactly? It sure doesn't prove "macro" evolution. Not by a long shot and not by any stretch of the imagination. There is no fossil record supporting "macro" evolution. That is the "evolution" people argue about.
Will a species adapt its color (micro-evolution) to prevent itself from being eaten? Sure. Will that same species (or any species) radically mutate itself into a different species (macro-evolution)? Absolutely not! And there is no fossil record of that happening.
My wife has no problems what-so-ever with online banking (SunTrust). If you have problems, let the bank know and make sure to let them know that you will find a bank that does support FF or Safari if they do not change it.
The main problem is the assumption "I control the database". At work, I do not, which makes Rails less friendly. That "instantrails" thing installs MySQL. I do not want to pollute my environment with MySQL thank you very much.
I am not fan of PHP but there isn't going to be a mass exodus away from it. As a matter of fact Zend and a couple of other companies are putting some muscle behind it.
PHP is the default because mod_php installs easily in any LAMP setup. Until another language "convinces" the large LAMP sites to include a "mod_whatever" as well, PHP will continue to move forward.
Maybe because we are not like you? Maybe we have a sense of decency and you don't have any sense? Maybe it is just none of your damn business? Like there is something to look up to the EU countries for?
The problem with the XXX domain is that you cannot "make" porn site move from COM to XXX and because you cannot "make" them move there isn't any reason to have one. Someone suggested "open it and see". Oh that is a good plan. Then when people have purchased XXX domains and haven't moved (because we all know they won't) you cannot close it. So that isn't a very good plan at all.
For those suggesting it is a "fundie" issue, grow up. I know plenty of "non" religious people that think it is a bad idea as well.
All that would end up happening is the porn sites would get yet another TLD to pollute.
Sure it would be nice to have all that stuff in the XXX domain space because that would make it easy to block. It is the fine details that mess it up. What is porn? Who says what is porn? Can we make them move? No.
You mean like true evil when Hitler had most of the European countries under his thumb and was constantly bombing the hell our of England? True evil when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor? What did we do? We kicked ass you wanker! That is what we do when we meet true evil you moron. We kick ass!

Like I said...much easier with Opera. I didn't say it couldn't be done with Safari.

Very nice all around.
Blockbuster seems to get new movies and some special tv-2-dvd things quicker.

What we need is a win-win networked tipping-point across the enterprise utilizing feng shui, ballistic trajectories and Web 2.0!

There are ZERO reasons to have a XXX TLD. ZERO.
Just stop effing whining about it...
The warranty is still good actually.
They had as many as the scientists "say" they had since the majority of what they "say" is pure conjecture anyway.
Small correction...evidence of "micro", yes. Evidence of "macro", nada zip zilch.
