Who said GW cannot be caused by a natural process?
The issue here is that we might be warming the Earth artificially already, so when the natural process kicks in on top of our "contribution" we all could be royally screwed.
We are in fact supposed to be living in an Ice Age at the moment, so the "natural" warming ain't even here yet!
On the positive side, perhaps 75 million years in the future some giant cockroaches could use our liquified remains to fuel the SUVs!
Russia's Putin is essentially on trial, and the police are asking him to hand over this ex-KGB guy to essentially testify on Putin's behalf.
If you were Putin, would you hand the guy over? Or a better analogy, would you let your ex-girlfriend or a wife to be called as a character witness to testify on your behalf?
There are several options here:
1) The girl could say you are a great guy, loving, kind, and incapabale of hurting anybody. She could even admit to being the actual murderer and get you off the hook. 2) The bitch could say that you forcefully sodomized her and beat her senseless on multiple occasions.
What she would say depends of course on her honesty, on the actual facts, on her personal grudges against you, and on what she would get as a result of her testimony (you out free, or her getting book deals, movie rights offers, whatever).
Nah, the persons running the voting machine division (not the same making the ATMs) are just idiots. They were bought up and merged into Diebold, but that was about the only change. That, and removing the programmers with criminal records away from coding and into the management positions after the merger (since sometimes it's illegal for a felon to be involved in voting).
I know there are free HP graphing calculator ROMs for Palm (HP-48 and others). The emulator is OSS, but all of the free calculator ROMs happen to be for the RPN calculators, which means young people will have no idea how to use those.
If you can learn RPN, a used Palm T5 with an HP emulator will cost you less than a crappy TI (which are crap) plus will give you a huge advantage in college math/engineering courses later on.
If you cannot use RPN, buy a cassio calculator. They are as much crap as TIs, but they cost half as much.
It's the same court that would have issued the FISA wiretaps in the first place.
So it appears reasonable that if the court are competent enough to issue individual wiretap orders, they are probably competent enough to issue a blanket approval.
Since this sounds too good to be true, I think it has to be taken with a grain of salt.
Well, a 1-in-10 dilution of chlorine-based household bleach will kill 100% of the germs. But what's good for treating biohazard might not be good for treating children.
Perhaps you are confused here: Al Qaeda are not people that deserve "rights". They are hell-bred mentally abberant, subhumanly evil crazies, pure and simple. You cannot argue with them you cannot convert them, you cannot appease them.
I am not going to link it here at a family-friendly server, but methinks it would do you good to watch the "Nick Berg Beheading" video to see what would happen to you and me the moment you give those terrorists a chance. One you watch it, ask yourself if they cared that Berg was a "liberal" and defended their "liberties?"
Again, with rational people you can bargain, argue, and negotiate. It pains me greatly that you and those like you fail to see, however, that with terrorists and madmen no rational argument is possible. Two outcomes only possible: i)you and your family get killed -OR- ii)the scum (bin Laden, Hitler, Pol Pot, Ted Bundy, Saddam Hussein, Marcel Petiot, "BTK" Dennis Rader) get captured and neutralized
Than again, perhaps you could negotiate some kind of a truce with this guy where he only gets to torture, rape, and kill your kids, your parents, your wife, but spare your life?
Now, since you quoted Bush directly saying that wiretaps require warrants (in 2004), and I have linked to you a court document which reveals that Bush authorized warrantless wiretaps in 2002, what does this mean, logically? He lied, plain and simple.
Either that, or perhaps this means the warrants are not required to listen to foreign terrorists making phonecalls from outside the US?
And in general, most of our laws do not apply to those OUTSIDE the U.S. of A.'s jurisdiction (hence the reason we do not actively arrest, try, and kill all the paedophiles and potsmokers in Holland). More to the point, since none of the info collected from foreign terrorists in this way can be used in court, you can rest assured that the terrorists' rights are safe and sound.
The President has clearly said he is not breaking the law, and despite what the liberal media is telling you, each and every wiretap still requires an warrant
Here you go, about half-way down at www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/04/20040420- 2.html
Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires -- a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the way. When we're talking about chasing down terrorists, we're talking about getting a court order before we do so. It's important for our fellow citizens to understand, when you think Patriot Act, constitutional guarantees are in place when it comes to doing what is necessary to protect our homeland, because we value the Constitution.
Also, is anybody reminded of those Nixon tapes where the guy laments that the "jews" at the IRS would not release his political opponents' tax returns to the President (IRS being)
As today, I would guess back then Nixon wanted the info to stop the terrorists and keep America safe...
But imagine how cool that would look: a Rambo walking a Bahdad street carrying a 40 lb. 50-cal bolt-action sniper rifle, firing off headshots at a rate of 2-3 per minute. That thing (at 60" length) would be HUGE, like a giant awe-inspiring penis of some sort.
Those Iraqi insurgents on the rooftops will shit their pants, yes Sir!
Have you read nothing of the earlier posts regarding depleting our labor pool by moving the entry level jobs off shore?
Here's an easy fix to "top up" the labor pool: open up the borders so that the trained foreigners can come here and pick up the slack. You lose "entry-level" jobs, but you get trained people back.
It seems to work well for the Great Britain, Germany, and Canada.
Well, one of the reasons these "highly skilled" jobs are going to India and China is that it's nearly impossible to bring the same highly skilled workers into this country (and believe me, we tried).
Slashdot Mirror
Am I the only one seeing the similarity with that and the proposed:
Now you see why Pres. Bush opposes stem cell research and medical advances?
Now is it not clear why investing into weapons and control over energy agglomerates is a good idea?
See why you should have voted Republican?
Oh, and by the way, taking care of the additional retirees is not going to be that expensive due to the economies of scale.

Perhaps that guy was slow with RPN because you surprized him with your tightness?
I just really like being able to see the whole expression I type in (not to mention that it's "pretty printed").
Oh yes. That need arises from what we call a brain stack overflow
"No, officer, I was not patronizing a prostitue, I was merely offering this young lady an XXX prize."

How much might this pleasure cost?

I didn't RTFA either, but doesn't the summary mean we actually ARE getting the oversight?

In the spirit of slashdotterie I will let you in on a secret:
It doesn't really hurt -- just a little prick.
Remember Reagan?
If anything moves, the liberals tax it. It it keeps moving, the liberals regulate it. And when it finally stops moving, they subsidize it!
The problem here is that boring facts do not sell well, while oppinions do.

I thought that you always had the right to be heard in court.
Not if they call you a terr'rist you don't.
