It would have been effective if everyday they occupied voting registration centers - a nice peaceful, orderly line of people filing through, all day, everyday, for weeks and months - that would have REALLY scared the people they were targeting, and pretty much nothing else will do.

Recently I've found this software from www.e2esoft.cn - they have a virtual sound card and a virtual video card that you can use to pretty much do anything you want. The two of them cost $50 and I paid it, and usually I manage to find free software to do what I need to but I was really impressed...

Agreed, but then, there hasn't really been this sort of EMERGENCY before, a Mormon President, and what is worse, he represents THEM, maybe understandable if the Mormon was a Democrat, but no, they will have only THEMSELVES to blame, and that isn't even getting into being responsible for a...

For me the interesting part was where the article had "After Santorum, Ron Paul is the most God-fearing presidential candidate [and] the Republican Party should endorse him." Andrew said that "If Republicans don't give a Christian candidate, Christians should look elsewhere — even to a third...

I'm not really concerned with travel time during the regular season, sure, it makes a difference but it is the playoffs where the real problem happens. Intense games, every 2nd night - that is where the East winner really gets an edge.

My plan for the playoff format is to have 1st in East play 8th in West, 2nd East play 7th in West and so on. Then they (8 winners) are all put together and 1 plays 8, etc. That way, the Canucks don't have to play 4-7 games against a team that we (the Canucks) have already played 8 times in the...

Agreed, what I see going on though is that some of the moderators insist on doing their job with the notion that the forum exists to convert Republicans, and the net effect is that enthusiasm is destroyed. A lot of the people with 1000s of posts got them by bumping threads and posting nonsense...

Well, I've noticed a lot of times when someone has just joined and replies to every thread with "bump" or something really hard for about a month until they get 1000 posts (or more) - I'd be way more distrustful of someone with 1000 posts that occurred in a short time and then nothing - if I...

I don't know that anyone has ever "rocked" harder than Beth Ditto from the Gossip. The current generation's Janis Joplin, only a better singer and performer than Janis ever was. Plus, she came in 2nd in the 2007 "Sexiest Woman" NME awards, and in 2006 was named by NME as the "coolest person in...

I've a liking for Jucifer ... for those who like their metal descended from Blue Cheer ie a lot of emphasis on "heavy" - I like to imagine someone liking her "poppy" recordings/videos (like the first one below) and then going to see her live (like the second one below), not really understanding...

No offense, but most of the above hardly "rock" at all. IMO, the best rock-chick overall has got to be PJ Harvey, over a career. The hardest rocking woman ever,ever, ever was Wendy O. Williams. Check out Butcher Baby, Black Leather Monster, Bump & Grind, Tight Black Pants among others. The...

I think that the truth is that there is an "No One But Paul" segment that exists. If I could vote in the USA I'd be one of them. They are the reason Ron Paul can win, they are the "type" of people that the Republican mainstream can count on attracting if Ron Paul is the nominee. It is a good...

My guess is that once winter is over there will be increased activity by the OWS. Another month will be spring in a lot of places, or at least no colder than when OWS wound down as winter came on. This time it will be coinciding with students getting out of class, as opposed to last time when...
