Strictly speaking, I can't argue with that. However, if we change "majority of the people" to majority of the people who take a remote interest in politics," I think most learned of Obama when he gave a keynote speech at the 2004 DNC. People speculated then that he would run in the next presidential election that didn't have a Democrat incumbent. Obama has charisma, and people rally around charismatic people, making leaders out of them, for better or for worse. That charisma is the extent to which I see similarities between Obama supporters and the third reich. By all accounts, Hitler was also one charismatic SOB. Charisma is an admirable quality in a leader, but it is neither a necessary nor sufficient quality to indicate a potential leader's qualifications. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

Because we (collectively) have not yet abolished the primary system. The current system allows the Republicans to pit their big f#$%ing compromise against the Democrats' big f#$%ing compromise. In my lifetime, I've never seen the best that either party has to offer make it to the big show. And I've never seen the best that the United States has to offer even run.

As ryoder pointed out, usually such problems are due to poor website design. You should call/write your bank and complain. If there site was compliant with W3C standards, it would not matter which browser you used, with the possible exception of Internet explorer, which is out of compliance with many of the standards, despite Microsoft's significant input and influence in establishing those standards. Incidentally, the newest IE that runs on a Mac (under OS X) is version 5.x, and it does not run natively on Intel Macs such as the MacBook. There is certainly no shortage of browsers available for OS X. Safari, Opera, Camino and Firefox are all available, as well as a number of lesser known browsers, such as Demeter (my personal favorite due to its excellent design, superior speed and full support of system wide services), which are typically based on the open WebKit rendering engine. Switching to any new platform will involve a learning curve. If you give OS X a proper chance, and give yourself sufficient time to get used to the differences, I'm confident you will be happy you made the switch. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

Here is a comparison of 500 GB - 750 GB drives from NewEgg that are under $200. You may or may not be able to find any particular drive for less. I used NewEgg because they have a good reputation and decent site searching. Their prices are usually competitive, but not always the absolute lowest. Here is a link to a drive from Other World Computing with a good reputation. I have had good experiences dealing with OWC, but have not tried anything from this particular model. It is worth noting that the actual drive within the case has a 3 year warranty from WD, even though OWC offers only a 1 year warranty on the assembly. Of all the models linked to above, I would be most inclined to purchase the OWC Neptune 500 GB or the Western Digital My Book Home 750 GB, with preference for the Neptune due to its Oxford chipset. (As a general, but not absolute, rule, if a drive case has an Oxford chipset, the manufacturer will advertise that fact.) Every model I found (except one that had terrible customer reviews) has a fanless design, which I dislike, since excessive heat can lead to premature drive failure. If you typically use the drive only for backups, that should not be an issue as long as you leave a little bit of space around the case to allow for airflow. It looks like most of the drives include FireWire cables, but they all appear to be 6-pin to 6-pin. If you have a 4-pin port on your laptop, you will need either a 6-pin (female) to 4-pin (male) adapter or a 6-pin to 4-pin cable. You may be able to get the retailer to swap the cables for you when you purchase the drive. Good luck!

I would recommend a FireWire drive if you have a FireWire port, especially since you don't use it for anything else. I've attached images of the different kinds of IEEE 1394 ports in common use. Note that with the right cables, the different FireWire types can be used interchangeably. In other words, with a 6-pin to 9-pin cable, a FireWire 800 hard drive case can be used with a computer with only a FireWire 400 port, etc. The speed will be that of the slowest port. Also note that the difference between FireWire 400 6-pin (Apple style) and iLINK/FireWire 400 4-pin (Sony style) is that the two additional pins on the Apple style port carry power. This means that if either your laptop or the drive have a 4-pin port, you will need to make sure the drive comes with a power supply (which is usually, but not always the case). There are some good reasons to use a dedicated power supply anyway. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

It sounds like you've see Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, too. It's a great movie. From that movie, along with a twelve inch black rubber cock, a car door also seems rather effective.

I'm pretty sure you can find 500 GB external drives in your price range. I paid around $120 for a 500 GB kit (hard drive, external case and back-up software, incredibly easy to assemble) a few months back, and drive prices have only dropped since then. I chose to go with a kit not because it was much cheaper, but because the warranty was better. I highly recommend making sure the drive case has a port matching the fastest connection your laptop offers. I don't know what laptop you have, so I can't say for certain which connection type this is. In order of fastest to slowest: eSATA, FireWire 800 (aka IEEE 1394b†), FireWire 400 (aka IEEE 1394a†, aka i.LINK on Sony products), USB 2.0††. Some wireless routers also offer the option of connecting an external drive via ethernet or USB, allowing the drive to be accessed over a wireless network. Some drives also have ethernet connections, which also allows network access. These can be quite fast, provided the drive, network and computer all support gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbit/sec) ethernet. If only fast ethernet (10/100 Mbit/sec) is supported, the speeds will be slower than USB 2.0. If you can give me more information about your laptop (and home network if you have one), I will be happy to help you find some specific models to meet your needs within your budget. edit to add: You will typically find MUCH better prices online than in brick and mortar stores. edit to add 2: Hitachi drives (actual drive, not case) seem to have the best reputation right now, but I don't believe Hitachi offers any pre-assembled external drives. Within the case, Oxford chipsets are generally considered to be best, especially if the external drive is going to be set up to boot from, in the even that your internal laptop drive crashes or is otherwise permanently or temporarily out of commission. I highly recommend setting a drive up for this possibility. † The "a" and "b" designations following IEEE 1394 can refer to speeds other than 400 and 800, respectively, but these are the speeds typically referred to in todays market. If there is no letter after IEEE 1394, it typically refers to FireWire 400. †† On paper, USB 2.0 is faster than FireWire 400, but in practice FireWire 400 tends to be up to twice as fast.

I fixed that for you. As in over 75 years after the first ten amendments? I didn't see an expiration date on them. I see no reason to consider the 14th and 15th to be any less valid than the other amendments, excepting the 18th. Are you saying the states don't have to honor the other sixteen amendments? (I don't count the eighteenth.) Or do the states have to honor the Constitution in its entirety? While it may not be a comprehensive interpretation, it clearly means that the people are not limited to only the rights specifically mentioned in the Constitution. Since the 15th Amendment explicitly states that the right to vote cannot be denied based on "previous condition of servitude," I would think that it is more relevant. Math tutoring available.
