It would appear that we have reached the limits of what it is possible to achieve with computer technology, although one should be careful with such statements, as they tend to sound pretty silly in 5 years.

Funny, but not sure it is more then humorous. Think it would be more geek worthy if it had small screw drivers and an allen wrench to work on a computer. Check it HERE
The site has been great for some time... How come such a long wait before complaining about the Bush administration?
Anyway, it was nice while it lasted ... I loved seeing the site without the normal political BS. Please can it again. I shall avoid the site for a little while, hopefully the political crap disappears again.
actually no it wont. but please do go ahead and "avoid the site". its better off that way, thanks.
and BTW, not that you are going to read this post since you are avoiding this site, but this article was mainly informative, it didnt slant EITHER direction as to political parties (it pointed out that congress in general is pathetic for not confronting the issue, but didnt even mention the words repub or dem or anything else). so not sure what your problem with this PARTICULAR article is? however, be advised some articles damn sure will slant and the bush administration will earn their share of consternation and it WILL be posted right here (democrats and whomever the hell else will earn it also, if its an important issue as deemed so by WHOMEVER is posting, myself included, then it will get posted). so again the best advice is your own, just go away. thanks.
I think that war wasn't declared because it is basically a political landmine. You're right though - it is purely semantics, and I feel that we are at war. Too much rhetoric on both sides.
As for the POW thing, I answered that in the Saddam post below, but I don't think he is being declared a POW because he will be tried as a war criminal and therefore may not be subject? hell, I don't know. I only got so far as taking the LSAT before law school just seemed like a dumb move.
Well, "War" has not actually been declared since WW2. Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Desert Storm, OIF, have all technically been "police actions".
It is kinda crap though, but much like other aspects of the Federal Gov't, its a role that has moved from congress to the president almost exclusively.
did someone put a gun to your head and forced you to read every political article on this site. in that case i understand your trouble. but then again i would think you had more to worry about.
