I'm sorry, but just like the new Beetle and the new Mini, these remakes are nothing but ugly pieces of shit. I agree with the above comment... Thanks for ruining yet another great childhood memory.

Can I turn it into a two-tone lowrider?

I think that what the supporters of this are missing is that it's OK to be paranoid. Say what you will about permissions or intent or whatnot, you are correct.
But now that people like you have allowed this technology to come into use, the hard part is allready done. Do you think that at any time Blair decides he needs to perform another trick for Bush to get a pat on the head it will be any problem now at all to impliment the more aggressive and infringing policies regarding the use of such technology?

What was that? You say you trust your government?

I think whether intellectual rights have been infringed on or not, that tub of lard dosn't need to shout to the world how great he is. That's very tacky, Ballmer - although I'm not sure what else I was expecting...

I, for one, welcome...

Hi Ted Brown.
My issue isn't with platform wars or zealots of any faction as you seem to have instantly assumed. I was tring to point out that the level of debate had IMO gotten to a maddening level and completely off topic as now you're discussing security...

I wasn't bashing what any of you knew and by all means those that are still trying in this thread have good arguments on both sides.
Just chill. You'll live longer.

And the only Apple product I have ever used was an Apple IIe. Your assumption that I was taking sides, especially the apple side couldn't have been more self-obsessed.

Carry on, children. Carry on.

Unfortunately there will come a day when you HAVE to have one of these cards. You will HAVE to have a personal ID card. You WILL conform.

If you don't have these cards, you can't be a part of the society that enforces their use.

It will happen. (c:
