[Read the article: An ulterior motive in the music biz's college fight?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's actually more akin to me looking through the window of your home, seeing that have an original Renoir on the wall and I photograph it, only to have you come after me for the theft of the original. One could I think flatten that suit pretty readily. If you didn't want me to photograph it you should have taken steps to prevent that. See I don't think anyone has a problem with the RIAA encrypting content for their own benefit. But they don't do that and instead rely on lawsuits as a business strategy. They're saying in essence, "there is a potential that what you the customer does could in theory harm us, so we will sue you for the utterly imaginary, projected value of that loss which hasn't happened and might never happen."

No it will actually be in Megiddo
[Read the article: Barbie vs. Bratz XVII: The Reckoning]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Which is also a place.

Having both names on your joint tax return in NC is problematic
[Read the article: The groom will be changing his name]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]For years their check printing programs couldn't handle it so all those checks hand to be banged out by hand after all the automated checks went out. You had to wait months for your state tax refund.

The frequency of ET sightings is directly correlated to the price of camcorders
[Read the article: Peak oil explains lack of UFOs]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]When cam corders were very very expensive, people claimed to see space lobsters all the time. Now when it's easy to have evidence, alas all the space lobsters are gone.

At least he didn't throw anyone to the back of the bus
[Read the article: Now, Paul Krugman throws economists off the bus]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That would be racist.

Lynx
[Read the article: An ulterior motive in the music biz's college fight?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So what? That's an engineering problem not a legal one. Sell the decypt key with the content give a usage parameter so that it can be used some finite # of times. Or not and add a few bucks to it with the assumption that you will rip it. Like the new "digital' edition of Juno.

I serviced a Marine Platoon and all I got was this friction burn
[Read the article: Our friend got drunk and went to a hotel room with a bunch of Marines]

Speeding is one problem, slowing down is a much bigger problem
[Read the article: Peak oil explains lack of UFOs]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]1/2kv^2 that exponent messes with you big time. Assuming that in order to brake you have to apply thrust in the opposite direction as your current motion. You would need the amount of fuel energy squared to slow down again unless you knew how far you were going and applied reverse thrust at the halfway point effectively multiplying your travel time by several orders of magnitude.
We will never ever ever ever ever ever not ever find any credible evidence of any intelligent civilization anywhere. We are for all practical purposes, alone and unique.

Power functions
[Read the article: Peak oil explains lack of UFOs]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Radiation is an inverse power function. So close in, the earth appears hundreds of times more radioactive than it really is, because of all the EMR throwing off from radio, TV, radar, microwaves, powerplants and such. But that perceivable power attenuates very quickly as an inverse square of the distance. Otherwise any sufficiently advanced homeworld would look very peculiar to our radio telescopes in that their planet would look like a close distance Quasar or something like that.

General Zod
[Read the article: Things that don't exist in Harry Reid's world]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So he can't can he. He can just wave his dick around making threats. And you have his back. How;s the cool table in the high school lunch room, 'zod'. Are you going to the prom this year with a drunk cheerleader?

[Read the article: Things that don't exist in Harry Reid's world]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Care to demonstrate anything you've written with a single credible fact? No I didn't think so.
-
The smell of your conspiracy theories is piquant.
[Read the article: First look at today's voting]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Yes anywhere Obama does not win it's because of a fix. A fix I tell you, by that secret John Birch Red Fascist Manchurian Mole, Hillary (R) Clinton. Good thing the Salon Counterintelligence Corps exposed the plot which could have brought down the Dear Leader.

Nah but feel free to wear your SS uniform to yours.
[Read the article: Things that don't exist in Harry Reid's world]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm sure it's natty. Did you know they were tailor made by Hugo Boss?

Turn out was the highest ever, 35%
[Read the article: Race and the race]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I'm not sure what that means nationally. But Bev Purdue is whompin on Roy Moore for the Dem Gov slot.
-
81% of the independents in NC voted Democrat
[Read the article: Chaos? Maybe not]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So take your ignorance and stuff it.
-
Maybe maybe not
[Read the article: Race and the race]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's not as if the US is 58% Black is it? 19-20% nationally, behind Hispanics. The black vote in America is critical for the Dems but not overall unless there is a huge shift to the GOP which is not likely. I guess Obama needs to run an Hispanic, female, transgengered, Catholic Buddhist Indian gay, handicapped veteran as his veep. That way we no longer even have to have talking points at all.

Little Miss Sunshine didn't count on the law it seems
[Read the article: Did "crying rape" lead to murder?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Looks like she was trying to clear up all her problems at once: dump the now ex lover who's idea of a date was a quick hump in the truck, and send the hubby away for a long time for killing him. That is horseradish-bitter karma, ain't it?
-
Well he better pull his shit together
[Read the article: In speech, Obama looks to be a uniter]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Otherwise McCain will win in a sweep.

Wow this sounds so familiar
[Read the article: My husband doesn't want to have sex with me]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]My S.O. declared at age 33 that that was, as they say, that. Finito. Office hours are over, forever. That was 16 years ago. I find it's actually liberating to never have to worry about that nonsense any more. It's not a question of infrequent intimacy, it's zeroed out. Blank. Never to be a burden, a worry, an anxiety ever.

Iran did something very similar after the Qom earthquake
[Read the article: "It looks like the end of the world here"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Rather than let the world see how incredibly backwards they are and be seen as a nation that needs help, they turned away international help. About 50,000 died immediately and an unknown number subsequently. You just have to shrug and say "Oh well, hope that works out for you".

Dems would rather beat each other's brains in
[Read the article: The Brazile-Begala smackdown]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Dems would rather fight amongst themselves than fight the GOP because whether they win or lose they still get to be the loyal opposition. It's about preserving the PARTY and not about governance or winning. You see what a mash they made of Congress in the last 2 years. Why do you think that is? Because they don't want to lead. They want to write white papers and complain.

It sounds like the punchline of a joke
[Read the article: My husband doesn't want to have sex with me]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"I don't hate women, I hate you."

In some Texas courts it's borderline legal to kill your cheating spouse
[Read the article: Did "crying rape" lead to murder?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Go check the Houston crime pages for instance. Do you know what all those '10 years suspended sentence' are? Those are for killing your adulterous spouse. Brazil is like that too.
-
I hope the UN sends them a sternly worded letter
[Read the article: "It looks like the end of the world here"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Like for Sudan. I'm sure that will fix it.
-
You know I did say this years ago, everyone thought I was crazy
[Read the article: McCain embraces Bush's radical views of executive power]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Bush's intent all along was NOT to make a radically conservative activist court. It was to NEUTER the court. Alito, Scalia, Roberts & Co. are more than happy to accommodate that.

I can't imagine it's easy to coach a team of multimillionaire prima donnas
[Read the article: NBA coach caught coaching]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Who've been playing ball since they were 7. The really funny thing is the color guys on TV don't say anything less retarded either.

No one gets elected by promising to raise taxes
[Read the article: The general election and the economy]
