Yeah, hear about that NOW, when I'm 19 days away from losing my kids.
Maybe I'll send it to her for Christmas.

Pompous ass whose decided that spending more money on govt education will solve the problems caused by govt education.
Wrote that "pay me now" letter to people who were using Microsoft Basic the same way that Gates had used Basic in the first place. His excuse, that he stole it first fair and square. Exactly the way Apple sued Microsoft for doing something Steve Jobs took away from Xerox.
For copying the BSD TCP/IP stack bodily into Win95, then calling Linux a "cancer". Oh, but he just LOVES BSD, which he can cherry-pick from at will. What he hates is the GPL and anything licensed with it, which prevents that cherry-picking.
His foundation which, while proclaiming that malaria is a scourge, then has never pointed out that DDT works great against mosquitos.
Unlike some, I can't fault his business sense. He's a master marketer, but there is still no way he can force me to buy his sub-standard products. For me to display real hatred, you'd have to name a bureaucrat or politician.

Jewish woman with a bit of grit are O.K. by me as well. And I am not a neatness nut by any stretch.
Get it out of your head that being Israeli means being Jewish. It helps, but it's like saying that being American means being Christian.
The middle one, please. Thanks much.

You might want to search Google Tech Talks on YouTube and Google Video, for the Buddhist talks.
They may very well surprise you. Their directness and willingness to question everything, including their own precepts, is very refreshing.

Ah, NetFlix instant streaming. Queued for when I have time.
Thanks!
I didn't cooperate in govt school, so I have no trouble reading subtitles.

Here is one way I guess. Although I admit I am a little uncomfortable with it.
Keep in mind it's just one way it could work. That's not to say it would.
Reputation networks are already functioning. Ebay, for example.

Someone really doesn't like Tony Blair.
Kim Cattrall did quite a passable British accent, while Tom Wilkinson's American accent was perfect.

I thought a generally well-considered response to the "thief in a free society" problem was presented in L. Neil Smith's _The Probability Broach_, centered on page 68, http://bigheadpress.com/tpbtgn?page=68

That's what I thought about thermal depolymerization.

Land Of The Blind http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433405/
Beautifully made, excellent cast, inaudible dialog at times but that seems to be the style of the times of loud explosions and quiet voices.
No surprises, sadly, just taking modern dictatorship to new heights.
