Almost. It's violence targeting civilians for political gain. BTW, did you see "The Patriot?" I wonder if any of the atrocities in that fine work of fiction happened? I can pretty much imagine they all did at various times, more than once during that war.
people in their student years are always trying different things out. It's hard for older people to take them seriously sometimes
How can you take someone seriously when they're listening to rap and have stupid permanent marks all over themselves? How can you take a man wearing earrings seriously?
You know why it's hard to take youth seriously. If you're twenty, how easy is it to tale a five year old seriously? I mean come on, he's got a boogger hanging from his nose and a frog in his pocket.
Once when I was about seven or eight there were a group of adults trying to figure out how to do something or other, and the solution was obvious. I kept trying to give them the answer and they kept shushing me. After a few hours they came to the same conclucions themselves.
I try to keep that in mind when I'm talking to some kid with a piercing that looks like he's got a booger hanging from his nose.
Busted for possession of literature? It's good to know that we Americans aren't the only ones losing our rights. Or would "loosing" be a more appropriate word here, given the circumstances?
The University should fight to not release that information unless they are compelled
I think the one thaing that would compel me would be a judge saying "do it or be cited for contempt". Like the Who song the RIAA label holds copyright to says, the RIAA has "a gun that fires cops".
That said, the university should fire its legal team and hire a competent one. Its students should find a more reputable university. Columbia WAS reputable, but its reputation is now that of a coward.
It seems since 9-11 cowardsce in leaders is all the vogue. And it's not just the Muslim terrorists they are terrified of, it's the corporate terrorists as well.
Also, an incandescant running on coal-fired electricity spews out far more mercury into the atmosphere than a CFL "twirly bulb" has in it PLUS the mercury from the coal.
Microsoft has a hand in it, so considering how they write their software I doubt you can remove or replace anything in thhe house without the walls turning blue, black, or crashing down.
If you remove the laser razor is it "House Of The Future Lite"? I'll bet you can only use Microsoft Light Bulbs and Microsoft Lamps because the bulb screws, light sockets, and wall plugs are all nonstandard and proprietary.
It's been a long while since there's been one show on a night that I consider watching, let alone in the nerd genre.
Actually that was my point. I still haven't seen Terminator, they said is was on Sunday nights and I missed the premiere, then it just wasn't on. Now I see it's on Mondays, they'll probably change it again.
Nobody can find the damned thing because they keep moving it, then they cancel it because nobody's watching and say "see? nobody likes this stuff!"
Actually the one show I try to watch regularly is "My Name Is Earl." Its characters bear an uncanny resemblance to a lot of people I know here in Springfield*, only Earl is a lot funnier than Springfield.

Unlike spam, It's not written. Unlike spam, it cost them money to do. Unlike spam, it was illegal.
Junk snail mail is more spam-like than what the article is about.

Really? How many real terrorists have you seen?
Lets see, Walmart, McDonald's, R J Reynolds, the DEA, Other US police agencies, the Justice Department (the linked AP article doesn't say shit about anybody being prosecuted for waterboarding)... how many more do you need?

(Before you flame me for not being politically correct, my heritage is Irish and my hair was blonde as a kid)
How many Irishmen does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Three: one to hold the bulb and two to drink until the room spins.
How many blondes does it take?
Three, one to hold the bulb and two to turn the ladder... oh you heard that one already?
How many women does it take to change a light bulb? None, they just ask a man to do it for them.
How many psychaitrists does it take to change a light bulb? Only one, but the bulb has to want to change.
How many hookers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Hookers are too large to fit in a light bulb
How many feminists does it take to change a light bulb?
THAT'S NOT FUNNY ASSHOLE!

Oh man, don't tell me that! Dihydrogen Monoxide is my second favorite beverage, and what's worse, there's a lot of Dihydrogen Monoxide in beer too.
Damn, I guess I need to switch to whiskey. There's not nearly as much in it.

Have you been talking to Amy and Tami about my screen saver?
All but the third are only on cable. It doesn't make a lot of sense for me to pay for cable when I watch so little TV.
this all this sounds really annoying.
What do you expect from Microsoft?
I expect that the urinalysis will be government mandated.
Great white telephone?
