As to your statement about Gore and Bush, if Bush had stated his intentions of invading Iraq when he was elected
The US Congress declared war on Iraq, not Bush. The President of the United States does not have the power nor the authority to declare a war, which is why Obama broke the law when he had our military bomb Libya without cause, provocation or a declaration of war.
I don't know about the Jedi Knights, but the two weeks I was there, I got pussy that was in the 9-10 range every single day. Never cost me more than $100, either.

If it is a select fire rifle it is an "assault rifle". That is the military definition. "Assault weapon" is a term coined by the anti-gun crowd to demonize perfectly legal rifles that are not capable of fully automatic fire (i.e. black rifles).
Good luck upgrading your system and expecting it to perform at a reasonable level in games. Your 8 year old PSU isn't even capable of powering a modern GPU, let alone the entire system. The old hard drives you have are also going to lag the entire system down (and there's no excuse to not buy an SSD for your system drive these days, 60GB is cheap enough). Your 5 year old monitor will likely have your games looking like shit since you wont even be able to push a decent resolution and it is likely an old CRT that no longer holds a good picture. That ancient case probably cannot even accommodate a modern GPU (they are long), and I doubt it has proper air-flow to keep the system cool. Yeah, have fun with that upgrade.
So far the total is at 993.94 before tax and shipping, and that system still needs a HDD (regular HDD or SSD+HDD?), Optical drive, OS license, Monitor, Speakers, gaming Keyboard/Mouse, and a gaming mouse surface. Sorry but $900 really doesn't cut it when building a gaming rig, a quality keyboard/mouse can run you $200-$300 more on their own.
Check the MyDigitalLife forums before you purchase a laptop, if they don't have a hacked BIOS for the model you are looking to buy I'm sure someone on there can hack it and remove the whitelist for you.
Try buying a wifi card that is offered with your laptop from a different vendor, it will not work even though the cards hardware is 100% the same. Luckily places like MyDigitalLife have hacked BIOS' for most laptops around that have the device whitelist removed.
MS has been trimming Windows down for a white now. Windows 7 is not bloated by any means and Windows 8 will be able to run on hardware that Windows 7 cannot.
Do you live way out in the boonies? Anytime I order something from Newegg before noon they ship it out the same day at it is at my door the next afternoon, and that's with their standard free ground shipping.
when you can build a respectable gaming PC for $500
How so? After purchasing the case, motherboard and CPU you're already over $500. It costs about $800 to build a respectable gaming rig, and that's without the speakers, monitor, keyboard./mouse, quality mouse surface, or a dedicated sound card. Realistically you're looking at around $1500 for a complete gaming system.
However, it is plausible that at some point in the near future, most people will be using "netbooks" or tablets for their day-to-day computing needs.
Most people who currently own netbooks and tablets do not use them for their "day-to-day computing needs", so what makes you think they are replacing current laptop/desktop machines?

Online "backup" services ARE NOT A VALID REPLACEMENT LOCAL BACKUP PROCEDURES.
You should never keep your backups at the same physical location as the originals. Always backup to another location that you control.
Because other CPUs are not unlocked and therefore not very good for overclocking.
I pay $55/month for unlimited everything on a prepaid LTE plan, insurance included. People who get locked into contracts are suckers.
You can put down anything you want as your religion in the US Military.

Well they do carry a sword, not unlike Jedi's and their lightsabers.

Why don't you have a seat over there?
Does this mean that they will be reviving the TouchPad?
Federal student loans are subsidized. You pay no interest until after you graduate.
These drives are not Sandforce based. Did you even read the article?
"The drive, based on the new Indilinx Everest controller, includes an "instant on" feature, that reduces boot times over previous OCZ SSDs by 50%."
For those too lazy to read the link.
