Well, yes. In most recent years, but the Constitution strictly grants power to declare war to Congress and the power to control that war to the President. Lately, it's been the President declaring the wars and controlling them.
Yeah, the more I dug into Politics following the Ron Paul campaign (yeah yeah... boo hiss!! I must be a troll!!), the more I saw that changing "Congress" would have to be first. The Presidential seat in itself doesn't have enough power to bring about the changes needed to balance things out.
So, if/when it becomes possible to create objects from electronic signals easily enough for my parents to download and run the "make me a Volvo" script, will it be illegal for them to do so? Are my Star Trek dreams of nutritionally balanced lasagna whenever I want a foregone fantasy?
Actually, I was thinking about this the other day. It would have been nice to have an XML config for Grub when my Ubuntu update decided to dump and rewrite my grub config when I failed to place the menu in the right location... If the update could parse the log file for tags instead of ### AUTOMAGIC ### or whatever it was looking for, I could have put the menu items in whatever order I wanted and the update would then only need to update the entry it needed to instead of wiping out the configuration. Manually editing the config files is a whole other pet peeve that I won't get into... but needless to say, if I could have edited them in a standard method that was easily readable, it would have made the morning after update a little more smooth.
As far as I'm concerned, the Joystick did evolve, into what you called an Analog stick. Now every Playstation/XBox on the planet has two joysticks for every controller and the Wii has one on a "dongle thing."
Well, I don't know how it all ties together, but Hitler was bent on world domination and oppressed an entire religion (no comment), Russia was Communist (one OS for everyone), I'm thinking MS fits into Apartheid because it has to do with changing the rules and sectioning the computer industry so they have control, and you can pretty much change Rockefeller's name to Gates and have the same problem. You did however forget Carnegie and the work housing problems, but even I might have a hard time trying to relate taking away your desktop if you stopped working for MS (or you change your hardware and don't buy a new Operating System) is considered the same.;)
But sure, we all have our priorities in life. Spore happens to let you control that since we seem to have lost control in real life.
Yeah, but spending the money and coming up with nothing or little to nothing (excluding Surface, which was really a college experiment if I remember right) surely makes you wonder if that R&D money is being well spent, spent at all, or being channeled to another department for acquisitions in the guise of research.
They don't like his ideas because they would either take away money coming to them, or they might actually have to work for health care and an education instead of having everything handed to them for nothing. It's clear that people still think that Government control and handouts are a good thing. The person who promises the most expensive thing in our daily lives will be free will be our next President.
The issue I have with "naysayers" who instantly cry foul is that they apparently like the inefficient generation we have today. So much so that they refuse to accept that their might be a better way to generate motion (thus power) than burning millions of tons of coal and millions of gallons/liters of oil. I say, let the basement scientists crack their noggins on the fabled perpetual motion and maybe, just maybe, implement their designs for the reciprocation of lost energy into producing more efficient generators. Even if someone could create a device that harnessed Earth's gravity, it's still not perpetual motion and the naysayers would get hung up on that instead of thinking... "Hey, wait. We can generate cheaper and more environmental friendly power with this."

It's individuals that manipulate the system because there's a hole to manipulate. With every system there are flaws. Think of it as a patch.
But then you're only one corporate type fighting all the other corporate types.

Damn, I just made my first journal about this...
The other fun wording I found on the page is:
Download your products
I thought the products were the property of Microsoft? If I download this, can I assume full legal ownership of my copy?
I'd like to know where I can track the success status of each of these sites.
I'd be ready to sue too if someone beat me over the head with a club and dragged me back to a cave.
Oh...so they are all the people that keep playing Second Life! Now I understand.
I was thinking the same thing. I thought burning Hydrogen and Oxygen produced primarily water.
As far as I'm concerned, the Joystick did evolve, into what you called an Analog stick. Now every Playstation/XBox on the planet has two joysticks for every controller and the Wii has one on a "dongle thing."
Yes, but they haven't released a date for the consoles yet (besides the DS.)
You might have to wait a while...
Platforms: PC, Nintendo DS, Mobile, Mac
No way. The Letter People were so much better than some silly flying toilets.
Nah, you'll have people creating the Penismen and Boobinite races to quell that motivation.
Hopefully it's a hot-seat game and someone who knows how to play is up next.

... or rewrite the rules.
Let's be honest here...

So why isn't this news? If there's one thing we could probably use is more efficiency.
