That's a nice position. While we're at it let's just set up a bunch of new zones for all of our rights. Zone A is for religion. Zone B is for speech. Zone C is for the press. Zone D is for petition. Oh, and by the way you're going to have submit to an intrusive and degrading search before entering these zones because your right against unreasonable searches and seizures is handled in Zone E and doesn't apply anywhere else.

Don't mind the guard towers and barb wire fences, they're there to protect your rights, provided you're in the right zone.

If any of this is true and having to boil water before making coffee was a serious burden for the people of Boston then I really have no desire to ever visit out of fear of contracting stupidity. Do you have any idea what's involved in the process of making coffee? I'll give you a hint, it's not freezing the water.

actually...

When you don't take it out of context it's a 100% accurate statement. The asteroid is heading straight towards the Earth/Moon system, it's just that the portion of it that will be hit is empty space.

I wouldn't mind getting an invite from someone if possible, my email is my slashdot username at gmail. Thanks.

I was wondering the same thing. First there was the promised x64 release for Firefox 4, then the promised x64 release for Firefox 5. I'm guessing the real reason is Adobe dragging its heals with an official x64 release of flash more than anything but the only explanation I can seem to get is that they didn't have time because of the tight schedule for the Firefox 5 release. If that was true then we'll never get an x64 release because their new high pace schedule will make every release "tight."

I must have missed that feature while playing around with Lotus 1-2-3 and VisiCalc back in the 80s.

Yes, but she admitted herself that the way the law was worded it could be used to ban books. She defended the law for it's good uses and simply said that it's ok that it could be used to ban books because "no one would ever use the law for that." It's similar to defending a law that made jaywalking a crime, and made it legal for the president to rape people because "no one would ever use the law for that." Yes, that is an extreme example, but I consider anything so blatantly unconstitutional to be extreme.

She might not have outright supported banning books, but she was fine with a law that could let it happen. The law is unconstitutional. Defending, voting for, or introducing a bill or law that you know full and well is unconstitutional while in a position of political authority should be criminal. If it's found that a law is too broad, or could be easily twisted to do bad things, fix it. If the same people keep trying to pass bad laws they need to be removed from power.

Both parties are guilty of these kinds of appointments. All they seem to care about is if the appointee is allied with their party and support a few of their pet causes. Who cares if they have a few other views that are insane, we'll just try to cover that up or accuse the other side of being petty because they're not happy the appointee isn't allied with their party.

Sorry about the ranting, but watch C-Span for any length of time and your eyes are opened to just how corrupt the whole system is and you start getting a little angry about things.

I have a text file I just created that's dated January 1st, 1753. The poll wasn't exactly clear on whether the file had to actually have been created on the date the timestamp says it was.

I'd imagine the transit pass would be useful for obtaining new employment. Not having transportation while unemployed is extremely frustrating when searching for new work.

The battery in my laptop is basically totally dead. It's only there because it's required for some reason even while plugged into an outlet. If I unplug it the laptop instantly turns off.
