"A man is not innocent simply because he has never had the chance to steal."
And, if I may point out a fundamental hypocrisy, you're also externalizing our domestic problems. The story here was about Homeland Security. Personally, I'm more concerned that our federal government has created a database to guard against foreign threats and is now using it to enforce domestic laws. If you want to blame that on the Mexicans, feel free, but refrain from criticizing those whom "refuse to fix the corruption and anarchy that's causing [the problem]."
Well, here's where I disagree. Over the last 150 years, the parties have become more and more liberal, with the expansion of powers. The etymology of the term 'conservative' referred to 'conservation' of government. So from that standpoint, yes, I agree with both of you when stating that both parties have become more liberal. This includes the audacity of the federal government legislating things like marriage.
As for the definition of "republican" that the afforeposted was using, it should've read more closely to libertarian. He was basically using an archaic expression in a contemporary environment, which creates a flawed comparison. Since the post-Roosevelt era, the definition of 'republican' has become economically conservative and socially liberal. The term 'democrat' has ironically become economically liberal and socially conservative. In that sense, both congress and the white house have been outstandingly 'republican,' and Clinton was unable to fit the bill (literally) and so while he could live up to the socially conservative criterion, he was unable to create effective policy by remaining economically liberal.
I thought NASA gained enough information after they crashed a several million dollar martian sattelite into the ground because they forgot the difference between a yard and a meter . . .
I love how all of those tech-review pictures had "Confidential - Do not distribute" on them. Oh well, NVIDIA deserves to get their crap looted, since they're stealing the entire idea as a way to undercut and steal Ageia's idea.
I believe that your SIM card contains unique customer information linked directly to your account. Other options for number storage and the like are available without tying them to your user account. That's why you don't have to set up a new number or account when you buy a new phone, and you can just pop your old SIM card into it. It's also why you can't send your friends 'copyrighted' songs and media you've bought from your provider. They're artifically limiting the infomation property market.

Since when did Slashdot become advertisement for the software and video gaming industries?
What?? I'm sorry, I couldn't read that through the great firewall.

Hey, my first first post!
Oh, come ON! There will be at least 3 years (Give or take 3) of revolution for us to die in before it gets THAT bad.
As Big Brother takes to the skies: Karl Roves Republican's have liberated us at last from liberty itself. ;)
See, this is why I'm not sure political discourse is a good thing. Geeze, self-righteous biggots piss me off. *Note* biggotry is not partisan.
The editors were clearly part of the test. Shaddup. My mom's brain's faster than your mom's brain.
Damn, you beat me to the punch.

You shouldn't speak that way to your mother.
Yeah, geeze. You never know what kind of quarky ideas they'll come up/down with next.
Funny thing, I seem to have misread the cores names as 'Ownya/yermom.'

Hey, yet another product that will overheat itself and melt in a pool of it's own malificence.
