I completely agree that religious fanaticsm is an immense problem in the world, and has always been. It's almost inconceivable that most religions to this day don't teach tollerance of other peoples' way of life and beliefs. (Unfortunately religion is more about getting people to conform to their way of thought, often by legislation or force. Because we all know, whoever has the most followers are the ones that go to heaven). But religions (at least in the states) by themselves don't make laws or sentences. That is strictly the governments job. Now if a government is becoming corrupt to the point where it is legislating people's moral choices and taking away our freedoms, although maybe by being influenced by relgion, this is a governmental problem. I attest that you're right in reducing religious fanatacism would lesson the government threat, but not vice-versa. However, you can't really fight religion. And it does very little good to argue religion since religion is itself illogical. And therefore we're left with fighting the government.
And in regards to...
So, do you really want to characterize this as giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States
I attest that anyone that is stripping away americans' rights is the enemy. And I think the president of the United States and the majority of congressmen if not the very least are traitors to country, if not substantial criminals both in our country and international law.
What we need is more legislation to stop the government from gobbling up its citizens rights. We need more legislation providing checks on power. We need the government to be accountable for there actions. Right now, it's acting like a pit bull that just got off its leash. We need to leash the dog, or at least until we've got it trained, becuase right now, it's bitten its owner several times already. And I'm starting to worry that if no one gets this dog back in line, that soon it might need to be put to sleep.
The federal government currently is the biggest threat to the United States. They're single handedly undermining the constitution, declaring war, after war, and removing our rights left and right. This truely is a government that is out of control that is basically installing a police state throughout it's own country.
I am not and have never lived in fear of terrorists. The only people I fear and probably will fear, is our own government. This government is working against it's own citizens instead of for them.
if that serial was registered by someone else with palm. I registered both my palms when I bought them... because you had to register to get replacements if they were under warranty.
It would be nice if your deposit was as large or small as you wanted. Then you could take out as many books/media as your deposit would cover. So if I wanted to take out $200 worth of books I could put a $200 deposit, but if I wanted to take out $10 worth of books I just have to put down $10.
Everyone knows that if a vehicle gets stuck, then it must be stuck in the mud. And we only get mud from martian dirt mixed with water! We've discovered water on mars!!!
I had a girlfriend in college that spilled her bottle of water on her laptop and then her parents bought her a new one the next week. This really does happen!
I have had horrible luck/time with sidekick dependability. I am also on my 6th!! Sidekick. Most everyone that I know that has one is AT LEAST on their 4th! First one... lasted the longest about 2 months... Backlight on the screen stopped working properly(every time I opened it, it would turn off) Second one... Broke the day after I bought it(the scroll wheel button stopped responding). Third one... Scroll wheel again. Fourth one... The screen started inverting when I had it open, while inverted key entry wasn't being recieved. Fith one... Plastic casing on the screen broke the day after I received it (just from opening it!!!). Sixth one... NO PROBLEMS!!! So far....
Be carefully shoddy craftmanship can make the BEST products worth shit. I personally still think SUPER highly of the software involved, but whats it worth if the hardware doesn't work!
Is it really a problem?... I'm not too bothered if someone is tracking where I go and where my car goes within a city...I don't do anything illegal online (warez, stealing music, etc) so I've nothing to worry about.
This has to be a joke right? What about the few times you reach 3 mph(or kph for the rest of the world) over the speedlimit and they issue you a ticket for every occurence. Or when they decided to lock you up for driving a vehicle that someone has decided that they concider possible for use in terrorism so its no longer legal. How about when reading about P2P is illegal because all P2P people are all pirates. It's about who chooses what is right and wrong. Its always nice to say that until suddenly your rights have been taken away and by then your the evil one and everyone else is going to say... "I don't care, I don't do those things." Thats really short sighted.
And as far as EVERYBODY should be concerned "what happens if the data collected by the government falls into the wrong hands?" Is that a joke... the government IS the wrong hands.
I did the same thing for the same reason actually, well except instead of my SSN I just got my handle tattooed in barcode on my neck. Slightly safer in my opinion. The Wife didn't mind at all actually. And I did it about 4 months ago and am out of high school.

I'll second this!

This is complete fud. There is lots of interesting research that has/is going on in the ISS. Any attempt to say otherwise is just ignorant.

Would you really want US citizens moving to your country to help degrade and take away your rights too? Oh wait, they already do that.
if that serial was registered by someone else with palm. I registered both my palms when I bought them... because you had to register to get replacements if they were under warranty.
But then, why wouldn't I just "buy" (aka, not return books I check out) from the library, instead of amazon.com?
It would be nice if your deposit was as large or small as you wanted. Then you could take out as many books/media as your deposit would cover. So if I wanted to take out $200 worth of books I could put a $200 deposit, but if I wanted to take out $10 worth of books I just have to put down $10.

I think this would be more suiting to current public interests....
"Land of the police state home of the afraid"
Better suggestions are welcome!
I for one think we should change it to "fsck the oppressors"
Thats because your old plates were DIRTY!

You have to specially request this browser that taints MS's page! So therefore you ARE asking for it to change the page!!
Anyone else read this and think distributed.net, and then realize that slashdot is no longer a site for nerds as much as high school gamers?
