Arguments about using your wallet for things besides cash and credit cards aside, the bottom line is we will always need cash because you can't bribe a senator or judge from a medium that can be traced.
Get an antenna then you can watch local sports in HD for free.
That's not entirely true. I am a Yankees fan (I know, I know). Since most yankee games are on the YES network, a cable only channel, I can't watch Yankee games from an antenna. There is MLB.TV but you can only use that to watch out of market games. So sports is what's keeping me hooked on cable. I watch most other things from my desktop connected to the DVI port on my TV on hulu in HD.
Marbury vs. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803), was the first case in which the Supreme Court declared an Act of Congress unconstitutional. The Court, under the leadership of Chief Justice John Marshall, ruled that Congress overstepped its authority by giving the Court authority to issue writs of mandamus for US government officials, a power not specifically enumerated by Article III of the Constitution. The decision invalidated Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789.
In fact, I specifically remember reading in a textbook that John Marshall was waiting for a member of congress to challenge this power of the judiciary, but that didn't happen. And as another poster said, this is 1803. The framers of the constitution were still in office at this time. If they didn't agree with this power of the SCOTUS they would have challenged it.
But do these take into account the time it takes for a patch to be released, or the severity of the exploit? And are these exploits found by researchers or exploits admitted by the vendor?
I concur. He should definitely devote his hero worship to Neil DeGrasse Tyson. He does great stuff when he's not ruining pluto, and he really gets how to explain science to laymen/kids.
Have you seen The Colbert Report? He would mock it by doing it to the extreme in a way that showed the ridiculousness of their ideas, so he would not need to do the opposite. And yes, that part of the platform makes sense, but they have so many other ideas that are baseless and insane.
The difference is the technology makes the lighting, and therefore the performance, BETTER but the synthesizers and computerized music makes the performance WORSE. It would be different if it improved the show, but it doesn't. It takes the art out of the music.
That's interesting, because he takes the opposite stance about Family Guy Star Wars. (about 0:56 in) Seth asks him: "Why did you let us do this?" "...ultimately, we don't have to be mean. We're not really that competitive... NOT the you must be destroyed, you must fail so I can win, that sort of thing." I wonder if this came from George himself, or just from some lawyer in the middle. I mean, obviously he couldn't ultimately stop the parody, so it's a different scenario, just interesting to see him make a hypocrite of himself.
I hate to go off topic, but I don't know where else to ask this. Despite having "excellent" karma, I haven't received Mod Points in at least a year. Does anyone know what's up with that?
Just burn them to CD and re-rip them, and stop whining. You knew they were DRM-ed at the time. When CDs came out, you had to re-buy all your old tapes/records on CD.
What if you're running linux, and you want to play MLB 10: The Show, for example. One of the biggest reasons for purchasing that game in the first place is the weekly updated MLB rosters. If you want to keep running linux you lose access to the service you paid for there. Sometimes a game will REQUIRE you to update the firmware in order to install it if it's a very new game, and you haven't updated firmware in a while. So you're choosing between losing functionality, or losing functionality. It's more than just the PS3 store.
No, GM doesn't have to guarantee your car be drivable in 7 years, but let's say there was a recall on the airbag system. The airbag was deploying for no reason, and caused several injuries. Your bring your car in to be repaired. You pick your car up a few hours later, and find it in the parking lot, and GM has fixed your air bag, but decided to remove the ability of your sunroof to open and close. Would you be okay with that? Not everyone uses their sunroof, but you paid for it. It's one thing if it breaks from wear and tear, but for them to REMOVE the functionality is ridiculous.
I didn't see anyone saying that we should start pumping aerosols into the atmosphere again.
We should start pumping aerosols into the atmosphere again. Hey, if it will keep the planet from warming and cause Al Gore to go fucking psycho, it sounds like the perfect solution. Plus, it will keep all our businesses odor free.... everybody start emptying your cans of Lysol.

These ideas always sicken me, we will be paying corporations out of our tax dollars for the air we breathe, hmm, that's going to work out well, 'NOT'.
Quick! Someone trademark the brand name Perri-Air

Actually my girlfriend is as big a yankee fan as I am.

except AVG Free edition still costs more than what the three of them are worth?

This is slashdot and no one has made a comment about his 110% agreement?

That's not what truthiness is though. Truthiness is the purposefuly following of what one wants to be true, ignoring logic/reason.

Did you just use the word logical to describe the libertarians? Have you not read their thoughts on the gold standard?

I guess you beat me. I bought it in 1992 and it was called "Fern Gully: The Last Rainforest"

So now /.ers can tell their "girlfriends" that if you want a diamond, you're free to look for one in Uranus?
I'm sorry langelgjm but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all...
Spaceballs? There goes the planet.
This plot sounds awfully familiar. Are they taking their research from Tim Burton's "Batman" movie?
