Thanks for reminding me it was Nebraska. I used to know what it was, but then I forgot.
I realize that there are some things about our government that should remain the same, but I don't really think that the electoral college is one of them. A friend's told me that in California, there are enough huge urban areas that the small towns out in the middle of nowhere are overpowered. Here in TX, there's too much nowhere. Seriously, if you look at a map of Texas (one that disregards population density), you will see a sea of red with a few blobs of blue over Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, San Antonio, and a deep blue one over Austin. I've noticed that the more urban an area is, the more liberal it tends to be, and vice versa.
How are the Dems destroying societies globally? If you think about it, people don't call symphonies, well-done photography or anything that belongs in the Louvre the "liberal arts" for nothing. Of course, you can probably figure out my bias from looking at my username...:)
Even though I'm not him, I just had to say something here...
Either get rid of the electoral college or change it so that the vote distribution per state is proportional to the actual voting, like I understand Maine and one other state are allowed to do. While the second option still isn't perfect, I think it would be better than having all the votes in a 51-49 split go to the 51%. Not that I have to really worry about something like that here in Texas... damn Republicans.:)
A parliamentary system might not be too bad... worst case scenario, the two major parties get exceedingly embarrassed on C-SPAN. (Parliamentary systems are "parties are voted for and seats are apportioned accordingly", right?)
I think we all know that the system needs a change. The question is really what kind. Does anyone else have any views?
Not on my 1GHz G4 iMac with 256MB of RAM and OS X 10.4. The only noticeable slowdowns are on a few application boot times and syncing my nano... wait, that's over USB 1.1. Never mind that one.
Right now, I have iTunes open, Norton hidden (I know, I don't really need it, but it's not really *my* machine...), and I'm typing this on Camino. I haven't seen any slowdowns except when actually opening programs. On the other hand, my XP box with a pair of 3GHz P4s and 512MB RAM runs slower than the average bureaucracy, so...
You know, "loose" could be correct... as in, setting money loose with the Zune. Just clearing up what he said... oh wait, different usage. All right, then "setting loose their dominance to get marketshare" would be a viable meaning.

So order online and upgrade to the 7600 GT. Doubles the graphics memory, and it's only an extra $125.
Yeah, well, it could have been worse. They could have made the prices $999.99, $1499.99, and $1999.99. I like these nice round numbers, and I think it was nice of them to save us an extra few bucks, since most items seem to be sold for $x.99 (or, at some gas stations in the US, $x.yz9 - for instance, $2.459).

Maybe you're right. I don't have anything to compare it to.

Do you really want to give the RIAA ideas like that?
Yes, jellomizer, we get the picture. I guess as of my post, we'll find out tomorrow morning (at least in my time zone...)

Dammit, I meant to preview that, not to submit it! Here, use this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox
From what I've heard on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MozillaFirefox), Firefox 3 for Mac OS X will be written in Cocoa.

Can't you physically upgrade a MacBook's hard drive without voiding AppleCare?
No, he can't. Look at what the other person who responded said.
Why bother waiting? Just build some add-ons of your own.
Who knows, TechEBlog may feature it in their "Top 5 Strangest Zune Cases" article.
You're probably right. In the near distant future:
"Cause of Death: iPod shock"
How many of those do you think were just created in their spare time?
