Arguments about using your wallet for things besides cash and credit cards aside, the bottom line is we will always need cash because you can't bribe a senator or judge from a medium that can be traced.

Actually my girlfriend is as big a yankee fan as I am.

That's not entirely true. I am a Yankees fan (I know, I know). Since most yankee games are on the YES network, a cable only channel, I can't watch Yankee games from an antenna. There is MLB.TV but you can only use that to watch out of market games. So sports is what's keeping me hooked on cable. I watch most other things from my desktop connected to the DVI port on my TV on hulu in HD.

Marbury vs. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803), was the first case in which the Supreme Court declared an Act of Congress unconstitutional. The Court, under the leadership of Chief Justice John Marshall, ruled that Congress overstepped its authority by giving the Court authority to issue writs of mandamus for US government officials, a power not specifically enumerated by Article III of the Constitution. The decision invalidated Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789.

In fact, I specifically remember reading in a textbook that John Marshall was waiting for a member of congress to challenge this power of the judiciary, but that didn't happen. And as another poster said, this is 1803. The framers of the constitution were still in office at this time. If they didn't agree with this power of the SCOTUS they would have challenged it.

I guess it just means AVG has joined the Norton and McAfee club...

But do these take into account the time it takes for a patch to be released, or the severity of the exploit? And are these exploits found by researchers or exploits admitted by the vendor?

Per my subject-line above - Agreed, 110%

This is slashdot and no one has made a comment about his 110% agreement?

I concur. He should definitely devote his hero worship to Neil DeGrasse Tyson. He does great stuff when he's not ruining pluto, and he really gets how to explain science to laymen/kids.

In my college we were able to open the thermostat and turn the glass vial upside down providing total temperature control on the wall unit itself, or bypass the thermostat with paperclips.

That's not what truthiness is though. Truthiness is the purposefuly following of what one wants to be true, ignoring logic/reason.

Have you seen The Colbert Report? He would mock it by doing it to the extreme in a way that showed the ridiculousness of their ideas, so he would not need to do the opposite. And yes, that part of the platform makes sense, but they have so many other ideas that are baseless and insane.

Did you just use the word logical to describe the libertarians? Have you not read their thoughts on the gold standard?
