I wouldn't imagine that Al Jazeera posesses any broadcasting technology that can't be jammed at the source. Or we could go ahead and waste a cruise missile on them. IMHO it wouldn't bode well for the message of freedom that our leaders are attempting to jam down the collective world's throat. I say let them have at it. If the message they preach is hatred and it converts their peoples into committing idiotic actions, then we can certainly oblige their deathwish with other weapons. Also, If Qatar is so much on our side, why do they allow those people to operate in their country?

There's going to be alot of kids pissed off at Santa this year. Alot of pissed off Santas as well. ROTFLMAO

Maybe Mr Bachus figured out the hoodwink, when his paychecks kept bouncing. ROTFLMAO.

Sue got it wrong, It wasn't tragic. It was poetic justice. Anyone care to wager that Bob isn't prosecuted with a felony charge? If he isn't, he should be banned from politics at the very least.

It's not really the game developers who are causing the problem with PC games, at least not directly. It's all those unscrupulous money grubbing publishers that screw over their developers with contracts and the insane insistence on pushing unfinished, partially tested software onto store shelves. I have seen too many games suffer this fate and left to die. Only one exception in the lot and we all know who that developer is. On a side note, "What the hell do analysts know?"

It's a cut and dried situation....Don't use their software. I agree that they have no business examining a clients hard drive, even if it is looking for cheaters. There are plenty of other ways to find miscreants that doesn't require opening other programs on a client machine. I wonder if this warden program shows up as spyware in anti-spyware software.

The guy with the brownest nose?

5.56 right between the eyes.... asta la vista baby!

I've been saying this for several years now. America never became independant of the British Crown. It is rather convenient for our leadership to invoke an old English common law to their advantage. Not quite cricket, but convenient I reiterate, We are governed by criminals. Why do we even have courts of law? I'll answer that myself... The courts are there to protect the interests of these criminals and to screw John Q Public out of his hard earned money. We are edging ever closer to an uprising against the greedy idiots who are sacking the citizens. You are correct, Jag. It is judicial tyranny. But, the tyranny didn't begin in the courts. It started right at the top. Not with the current administration, although they are using it more than any other has in the past.

This appears to be another brief glimpse into the inner workings of a government that is doing things that are illegal and getting away with them. Lesson learned: If you invent something and you are approached by a government contractor who will not divulge the intent of their interest.... RUN!!!!

LOL Another moreoff getting his just desserts. Give him a popsicle stick and instruct him to go poke a few more Grizzly Bears. The mops and bleach are at the ready

The reason is because he doesn't have a real job, thereby affording him loads of time to write code. It has also been rumored that he is a bot. Bots don't need sleep or food or any of those other niggling little things that the rest of us require. A'right, tea time is over, get back on that keyboard.

So now we are pointing the finger of blame at the citizens for not packing up and getting the hell outta Dodge? Sounds like my dad. If you were poor black and destitute, with a house full of kids and a disabled relative or two.. How far do you think you could get on foot??? without a car or money or anything else to assure your survival on the road. How many of those families do you think, would have been arrested for vagrancy, child neglect and who knows what else??? Do you really think those people could survive out on the road for months or even years??? Which is what has been postulated as the time it's going to take for the place to recover. Days my arse! How much more hard hearted can some of you people be??? Nevermind. I already know and you should be ashamed of yourselves!!!! If this had happened in Connecticut or Massachusetts, the recovery ops would have been staged and ready to go days before the storm came ashore, regardless of the percentage of probability. One thing is as clear as glass... Cranial Rectal Syndrome has become an epidemic in this country. The revolution has been predicted to start next year. I might find some enjoyment in putting a bunch of you self centered sick puppies down for good. My Kevlar helmet will be labeled- "Miguel's Gene pool cleaning services"

Reminds me of the scenes from Baghdad after the city was freed from Saddam's grip. Another example of piss poor planning and indifference by the Bush administration. I can only shake my head in disbelief that it would be allowed to occur on home soil. I think that if I was in that situation I would find whatever means necessary, short of killing other human beings, to feed my family. At least those citizens who are protecting their property with firearms have possessed enough wisdom not to kill any of the looters who I feel for the most part were not seizing an opportunity to steal in the absence of authority, they were just trying to survive a desperate situation that was made even worse by FEMA's delayed response. There are alot of heads in Washington in need of rolling over this debacle. Up to and including criminal charges for involuntary manslaughter for every person who died as a result of their indecisive action. I'm talking all the way to the top. Yeah that's correct my Republican friends. Mr permanent vacation Bush should be impeached on multiple counts of treason against the people of this country and jailed for murder.

Let's not forget that the lion's share of the price of a gallon of gas is state and federal excise taxes. Ya won't see them repealing that.

I, for one, am speechless!

It's nothing more than my own perception. The only view that counts is your own. Mine is overly cynical for good reason. Too many people on this planet have a problem seeing past their own nose and they handle everything that they are told is bad with no common sense or logic or even research whatsoever. For your own edification I recommend a search on one name... William H Russell. Let me know what you find. Have a great day.

Wow! A debate without the usual, "My Schwartz is bigger than your Schwartz" attitude. I am in awe.Most of you fellows nailed down some very good points in regard to the issue at hand. Please allow me to offer my own perspective, It is indeed about viewing these issues with logic. There is always a reason behind everything that goes on in the halls of government and this issue is fueled, like so many other issues, by money. Which we have all heard is the root of all evil. At the top of the root is Audrey( read:US government and those within it) And Audrey says, "FEED ME SEYMOUR!!!" Cannabis went into prohibition status in the early 1900's at the behest of two lobbies, The Pharmaceutical and Petro-chemical industries. The drug makers couldn't sell enough aspirin and their arguement was that people weren't smart enough to self medicate themselves with naturally occurring flora. HELL NO! We know what's best for society and it's our man made drugs.Side effects? Don't look behind the curtain. The Petro-chemical guys had just discovered synthetic fibers. They wanted to sell more rayon, nylon, etc etc. So having naturally occurring hemp being used to make durable clothing and the best rope on the planet just wouldn't do. So, we had this situation at the time. America had recently finished mopping up the Kaiser and was going into an economic depression. Making Cannabis illegal wouldn't hurt anyone but the lowly Hemp farmers and would provide alot of jobs in the chemical industries. See? It's like everything else on the planet. It's all about the Benjamins. Also at that point in time was a drug cartel that makes the Columbians look like two bit hacks. And that cartel operates business as usual to this day. As long as the American government considers soft drugs illegal this cartel profits. Don't look for legalization of anything anytime soon.

If brain cells were football players... Most people wouldn't have enough to field eleven guys to line up at acrimmage. Everyone is extremely prone to pointing that finger of blame toward others, usually due to their own stupidity. What they don't realize is that pointing your finger leaves you with three more fingers pointing back at you. Society in general is in a sad state and we have nobody to blame but ourselves, greedy lawyers, and stupid politicians. If Gramma sues Rockstar and wins, then we will all know beyond a shadow of a doubt that America's courts suck!

Hmm, It's been kind of dull in the media lately. Maybe they set the bombs just so they could have something for the talking heads to say.

The law beast devours another poor victim. The bastards will do anything now to add another body to the prison industries. Constrained by statutes is a poor excuse for throwing common sense out the window of the courthouse. Be afraid, be very afraid.
