It's a tricky balance though. Nuclear missile launch codes are also -- technically -- public property, yet I am not sure it'd be a good idea to release that in the public domain.
I think the way things are handled right now is the best we are going to get: basic science is open, applied scientific results are secret.
I bet McCain didn't vote because the Teleco's gave 10-to-1 more cash to Obama. He's probably for the bill anyway, but wants to scare the companies up a little, you see.
Well, at this point Obama shouldn't give a rat's ass about what his ultra-left base thinks. It's not like they'd go and vote for McCain anyways (the guy who's against abortions, big government, socialized healthcare, etc.)
The fanboys did their work in helping him defeat Billary, but now it's time to move on to the general election.
To my knowledge they hadn't released the tapes for years (if ever). Moreover, all of the radar traffic tapes were shredded, and thus will never be released.
But really, "what really happened" on 9/11 makes no difference to me.
I think it's the randomness of it that scares people, not the novelty and shock value.
For example, the suicide bombings in Israel are neither novel nor particularly shocking, but the factor of "Oh shit, this could have happened to my family" is what gets to most people.

I think what he's saying is that since these scientists's job to to disprove relativity, or kill cancer, or cure AIDS, and they failed at their job, then they should not get their paycheck next month.

Isn't that why people like you tried to kill Salman Rushdie?
That's what you get when your mind is tighter than your asshole, asshole.
explain that rationally:

But seriously, Obama reminds me of Reagan somehow. Probably because they both can honestly act out whatever their teleprompter tells them to.

Let me get this right. Are you saying that the Democrats had to pass the Telecom immunity bill because the Republicans threatened to filibuster it?

What really cracks me up is that deep down, McCain is probably more liberal than Obama, yet both have to put up a show to appeal to their "base."
I wonder which one will make a worse president though.

Presumably they could monitor the contact by looking at your skin resistance, temperature, moisture levels, galvanic response, etc.
So presumably the device would report you as terr'ist the moment you tamper with it.
No, TSA-mandated 12" exploding buttplugs would be scary. (which is what it'll take for the public to wake up)
Shock collar boarding passes are merely funny.
By comitting a felony.
So she's dead, he's in jail for life. The kids aren't likely to read up on the slashdot story about their dad killing their mom.
So where's the harm in joking about the murder?
The sex they were having wasn't legal. See the Ten Commandments:
You shall not commit adultery.
and
You shall not covet your neighbour's house; you shall not covet your neighbour's wife[...]
I've talked to quite a few. They all love it!
IRC Mimicry?
France? That country in deep shit right now, comrade. About the last thing their socialized system has demand for is foreign engineers.
I would go with German, Spanish, or Irish instead.
No it isn't.

I think your vote is like your pussy:
It's perfectly legal to give it away for free, but the moment you try to earn some cash...

Seems perfectly logical to me.
Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk
Deuteronomy 14:21
I am pretty sure this chicken/egg frying thing is also covered by this.
You think there's any difference there?
Kind of reminds me of that "same shit, different asshole" thingie.
Since when do computers get "thrown off"
Ever played Quake vs a computer player with a rocket launcher?
But seriously, sometimes it's not a zero-sum game and/or the pot is not limited.
