You're premise is based on a nationalist point of view. That a government is to serve it's people by setting whatever rule the government feels is proper. (At least that's how I interpreted your response.)
The Constitution was written to grant specific powers to the Government and no more. It was also written that we are a Federalist Republic, not a Democracy. There are some conflicts in this statement, but they are easily explained. Ultimately Democracies favor the majority and push down the minority view. This is why the founders formed the laws the way they did. The Electoral College is based on this idea. It doesn't grant power of election to the majority of the population. If we were ruled by the majority of populace, Presidential elections would be decided based on a few large cities instead of the country as a whole. This is also why they ultimately gave power to the states to nominate the President based on their populace. If we were a true Democracy, Elections would be one by whoever won New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Do you think that everyone in the US agrees to what someone in these cities believe?
The Constitution doesn't grant us rights or laws. It is meant to control what the government can have domain over. Our Government has overstepped this many, many times. Our Government isn't supposed to serve the people. It's supposed to protect the rights of the people. The Bill of Rights and the Constitution are laws that state what the government cannot makes laws about. They cannot make laws to restrict our rights. (Even though they do...) This is why we are supposed to be a nation of free people. It is meant to promote local law at the city level. If you feel that a local law is too restrictive, you are more than welcome to move to a city or state that has laws that comply with your views. Creating laws at the Federal level only serves to violate this idea. Ultimately, there are provisions to petition local law as a violation to the Constitutional law, but it's been twisted to assume that laws should be national.
Everybody here should write to both of their Senators and their Representative (regardless) and simply provide a link to this/. thread to educate them on all the technical reasons why this bill is very ill-conceived.
Maybe we can get them to watch this 8 part video lecture on how The Constitution is supposed to be read while they are here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hzMHLK93TA
Longer life cycles for chargers, car interfaces, headphones and devices that connect to the portable. I for one support the initiative. I'd love to see more cars come with built in charging docks that allow the radio to stream music from my phone or other portable device.
Maybe I interpreted the article incorrectly, but I don't think this has to do with AD authentication specifically. It sounds more like your Windows VM will be able to log into your Linux host server using Linux IDs and your Linux workstation on your MS Hypervisor VM will be able to log into the computer using your Windows IDs or maybe even Active Directory through Windows hosts. It sounds more like a beneficial move to Microsoft than it does to Linux. If I read it right, in order to use Active Directory in Linux, you'd have to host Linux clients on Microsoft servers. I don't see that many businesses logging into their Windows machine using Linux IDs... I hope I'm wrong though.
Not necessarily cold war icons, but if you draw inverse lines back to conflicts of the past involving the same countries, I believe China is next to collide with themselves fighting over dynasties.

If they were funny, I don't see why not. Same for informative, interesting, or other mods. Just because it's a cut/paste doesn't make it any less pertinent.
Yeah, I don't know why that sort of setup hasn't been adapted for PCs yet. You are still stuck buying an external UPS with an inverter and all that loss.
One could look at it as the betterment of technology. If MS continues as top dog, that only hurts innovation. Competition is the accepted way to ensure rapid advancement of any market. Non-profit organizations are made for purpose, not profit.
What about the fact that you get your own private seat. To me that's a win in it's own right. No having to smell the person who didn't shower or listen to the over loud iPod two seats down or the chatty people sitting behind you. You could concentrate on a book or something else without interruptions.
Why was a blog that just did a copy/paste of a Washington Post article that was in the summary linked to in the summary? Isn't that a bit redundant or were the owners of the blog looking to get hits?
Thank you for writing all that so I didn't have to! Spot on. Especially with the mapping! I remember more of EQ than I do any other MMO because I had to learn the land.

As an old EQ player... they missed when they started being more guild centric, mass teleport, EQ2-mechanic lifting, and generally nothing like the GOOD days of EQ. The problem is that they started listening to the guilds and started putting in things that broke the original design. The game was meant to have regional economies, vast distances, and group centric content. Now, since SOE has them, they are plugging in all the code from EQ2.
I don't know where you work, but I never get to touch that money. I'm sure I could file for 99 exceptions and get it all in my paycheck if I really tried, but you're missing the point. (...and frankly you are trying to argue semantics.) Companies have to pay their employees over top of what they are taxed so they can live. The company is most certainly paying someone more money when they live in a high tax region. I know when I lived in Chicago, taxes were crazy. I demanded more salary because I needed the extra money in my pocket to eat and live. I moved to Ohio and I practically got a raise for moving because I wasn't paying as much in taxes.

We all live in a corporatocracy, not a democracy.
We are a Republic... not a Democracy. At least, we are supposed to be a Republic.
Depends on the configuration... I can set mine to expire IPs after a day.

The question being... how could you use a monopoly on advertising to keep other advertising companies from effectively advertising?
I'm sure there's another reason for that.
Why would you want to enable the guest account and allow anyone the ability to log into your PC instead of just allowing anonymous LAN access?
I take the time on my boring drive to work to cut my toenails.
Longer life cycles for chargers, car interfaces, headphones and devices that connect to the portable. I for one support the initiative. I'd love to see more cars come with built in charging docks that allow the radio to stream music from my phone or other portable device.
Why couldn't the dumb device emulate a PC and just agree to give the phone what it wants?

I'm still waiting for the PC power supply with a built in battery backup...
Think: AC -> PS -> DC -> Battery -> Motherboard or something along those lines.
That may be small potatoes to this story though...
Maybe I don't understand regulation and deregulation, but wouldn't regulation enforce even more service monopolies?
How would regulation help add more contenders to the pool of service providers?
The banks are not in a free market. They are heavily influenced by the fed.

It doesn't pose a security risk if it's not running. And many widely-used programs use IE embedded in them
Did you mean to purposely contradict yourself?

Just curious...

Each program... as in if your program freezes, you restore it to a previous state... not your whole system.
