With much respect to BWJones, I believe his opinion is coloured a lot by his geographic location (as, I suppose is yours and my own). I, too, live in Utah currently & I have a hard time picturing my contemporaries here taking to great a risk for principles. We (as a people, at least here & in my & apparently BWJones's experience) are fat and soft. I have the wife & two kids. I honestly don't know if I would be able to take arms against the govt even if it was warranted (note to NSA, this is hypothetical!). I have lived a few places in the North (mostly Utah & Ohio) & I gotta say, except for some blue-collar union folks, this has been my impression all over.
I honestly pray we never need to find out, but I can't help thinking about the frog in the kettle.
Why not just put the cloaking device under its own field? I don't remember Kirk telling (whoever - some geek(s) will reply flaming me for not knowing) to aim for the cloaking device...

Cut him some slack, he was 8!
IANAL, let alone an International lawyer, but I believe debt can be inherited in some countries.
I'm at work & too lazy to look it up, but I seem to recall it at least used to be the case in the UK - any Brits care to comment?
Safely or no, what kind of country are we that we can't even send our president to the moon?
Newer than the stories, anyway ;)
Aren't they all?
How dare you shoot down my humour with clean logic!
Well, shoot, when you put it like that MS/other DRM creators seem in the right ...

Working on? What, you're 9?

I occasionally end "The government should..." with "leave (me|us) the @$^& alone" ...
"Windows Media Player 9 or above with the most recent DRM security update. If Windows Media Player 9 is not installed you will be promped to do so."
Sheesh, you learn math at Verizon University? ;)

OSX is more powerful than XP, I don't find it harder to use ...

Not to worry, the DRM will stop them from actually opening them ;)
Looks like Skreems is lucky that -1 Wrong mod doesn't exist :)
Ok, now find me a $50 Core Duo chip :)

I'll buy two
Hmm. A 'trickle down' theory ... ... nah, too easy ;)
My motorcycle has rocket launchers.
Who do you vote for if noone is the incumbent?

You are correct, he was an idiot. Further proof that small UIDs don't make someone smart, just old :)

You expected him to RTFA?
(wait for it)
You must be new here!
I rather though the opposite. Everyone knows HD == better, DVDs are great so HD-DVD must be really great.
What the heck is BluRay?
At least it wasn't another laser joke.
Seriously.
