You hold the Madisionian view, but that's hardly the only one. Hamilton held the view that it does encompass the general welfare of the people. From wikipedia: "To date, the Hamiltonian view of the General Welfare Clause predominates in case law." Even since the early days of this country (see Justice Story) we've gone with the Hamiltonian view. The Madisonian would even eliminate public schools. Clearly those disagreeing with Hamilton on this one are fighting a lost cause. I won't bother to read the Free Republic article - next time post something from a site with less of an agenda.
"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States."
It's been there since the beginning, not sure how you could have missed it. If healthcare and the others mentioned aren't part of the general welfare, then what is?
Bittorrent is where this gets tricky. Can you be prosecuted for uploading half a song? A tenth of a song? A tenth of ten songs? Still, every bit of data uploaded is downloaded by someone.
Sure, but if you make the much more reasonable assumption that everyone will have a 1:1 share ratio, he'll upload it only once. If for some reason he did upload to 100000 people, then there are 100000 people who didn't upload at all. What if they get sued? Without specific information, a 1:1 share ratio is what they should go by.
What would be really nice would be a way within Firefox to mute particular tabs or particular flash objects. I have no idea why this hasn't been implemented yet, but until everyone who uses flash starts coding in mute buttons it would be very handy.
Hmmph. I have Comcast's advertised 6 Mbps service and I very consistently get 500Kbps. Actually considering switching to 1.5Mbps DSL to see if it's faster.
As someone who's never used it, I gotta ask: what's so special about Outlook? What else does it do that say, Thunderbird doesn't? All the talk I hear about it seems to indicate it's more than just an email client, but that's all I've ever seen it used for.
See, I'm not worried about that. I don't think the president -any president- has the power to do that. Only Congress could do that, and there's no way they're going to. On the things that the president is in charge of, like general domestic and foreign policy and economic policies, I like Obama's platforms. That's why no one is worrying about his gun platform (until the republicans convince everyone he's gonna personally come and take their guns) - because it doesn't matter.
Welcome to the police state! We got guns 'n' chains We know everything you do Honey we know your names We are the spooks that can find Whatever you may hide If you got the money honey We got your immunity
Chorus:
In the police state Welcome to the police state Watch it bring you to your shun n,n,n,n,,n,n,,n,n,n,,n,n,,n knees, knees We wanna watch you bleed
Welcome to the police state We take it law by law If you fight it you're gonna bleed But it's the price you pay And you're a fairly standard girl That's not very hard to please You can taste the bread 'n circ's But you won't get them for free In the police state Welcome to the police state Feel my, my, my fascist dream I, I wanna hear you scream
Welcome to the police state It gets worse here everyday Ya learn ta live like a prole In the police state where we play If you got a hunger to live your life free We'll take it eventually You can have anything you want But you better not ask to be free
Chorus
And when you're high on power you never Ever want to come down, so down, so down, so down YEAH!
You know where you are You're in the police state baby You're gonna die In the police state Welcome to the police state Watch it bring you to your shu n,n,n,,n,n,,n,n,n,,n,n,,n,n,,n knees, knees In the police state Welcome to the police state Feel my, my, my fascist dream In the police state Welcome to the police state Watch it bring you to your shun n,n,n,n,,n,n,,n,n,,n,n,,n.n, knees, knees In the police state Welcome to the police state Watch it bring you to your It's gonna keep you down! Ha!
The main difference I've found is that on Windows I can't find any information to help me and so am either left on my own to figure it out or I give up. On Linux I can actually find what I need to know in forums, wikis, etc. One winds up working in the end, one doesn't.
Seriously though, they can innovate too, and while idealistic speeches like that are all fine and good, it's too much to expect us to overcome powerful economic forces with mere innovation. To really compete, legal and economic realities need to be taken into account. Free trade puts us at a severe disadvantage economically that I don't think mere innovation can overcome.

So actual speeds of about 100KB/s then, right?

He wanted to create it as a for-profit enterprise. Sanger persuaded him otherwise. Wouldn't surprise me if they changed it now.
Install firefox 3; it displays the whole text in the popup.
And yet your post was modded informative. Oh the irony.
What is the meaning of mamelon and ravelin?
It is about profit. They are the lawyers! What they gets, they keeps. The companies paying them are the real fools.
You're off by an order of magnitude. They've added about 15Tbps.

OpenDNS has a blog post explaining why they're doing that: http://blog.opendns.com/2007/05/22/google-turns-the-page
Ahh, so that's where this fits in: http://xkcd.com/323/
How many months in Iraq does "preventing nuclear terror" cost?
Hey, I know a guy named Hydrogen. He's a physics major. No kidding.
Ah, that makes more sense.

Seems the Falas and Nevrast are part of Beleriand, but I'm not sure. As for Balar, it looks to be more to the south.
But Beleriand was in the west (though not the Uttermost West). Unless you're of the Ainur, your geek card, please.

How about we replace the TSA with AI? It couldn't possibly do worse than the current bunch of goons.
