He says he is a Christian, but everytime he quotes from the Constitution he skips the word "God".
Whoa whoa whoa. Hold the fuck on.
Please cite where the word "god" appears ANYWHERE in the constitution, other than the "Year of our Lord" boilerplate, which signifies the use of the modern calendar as a date.
FUD tactic or now, if the information is valid and real, this still carries numerous implications with it. For example, were certain wealthy politicians who rail against taxes found to be holding considerable sums of money in non-taxed accounts...
I never understood the volatility of Apple's stock. Jobs could stub his toe and the stock would drop. Someone who works at Infinite Loop could get constipated, and the stock would drop. Someone's iPhone could get a scratch on the front glass, and the stock would drop.
Why is Apple's stock so prone to heavy fluctuation at the even the slightest hint of something not being perfect?
What difference would it make? If he got straight As, he would be an elite asshole (or he paid someone off.) If he got B or Cs, he'd be average and not worthy of the presidency. If he got straight Ds, he'd be an idiot.
If W was really an idiot, would it be his fault? Guess what: he's Ivy-league educated, and not an idiot.

While I agree that Obama has left much to be desired, comparing a common speech problem with a bumbling idiot is flamebait at best and ignorant at worst.
I mean, come on...seriously? Making fun of a guy who pseudo-stutters? What is this, fucking kindergarten?
I think moreso than anything else, the Patriot Act can be held up as a shining example of both parties caring about nothing more than maintaining power. The Patriot Act goes against almost everything the Democratic party supposedly stands for; quietly continuing its usage and doing nothing to try to kill it should be proof to all but the most hardcore lefties that their beloved politicos are no better than the right-wingers they despise.

None. The problem isn't our boss or our "local" IT department. The problem is that our IT solutions are completely centralized (we are a single business unit that brings in around ~70 million a year, and are part of a larger company that alltogether brings in close to a billion a year.) We have no say in things like this...whatever the corporate guys say, goes.
Could you rig up something similar to Android's "back" button with this? The lack of a back button and the lack of the notification pull-down are the major things that would ever prevent me from getting an iPhone...
We needed a way to edit the calls (to get rid of blank space between when the recording started and the talking started), so the built-in windows sound recorder would have been useless.
It's no different than a police officer illegally entering your house, finding the huge bag of weed and bong you keep in your bedroom, then trying to bring you up on possession charges. It would get thrown out, because the evidence was obtained illegally (or something like that, IANAL so I don't know the "official" wording of such a thing.)
Pretty much. In this day and age, it surprises the hell out of me that he thought he could get away with something as easily noticeable as hacking a presidential candidates email...unless he knew he wouldn't get away with it, and didn't care.
They were doing this malarkey at my office a couple of years ago. They were spending all kinds of money on licenses on some sound program from Adobe (it was only going to be used to edit down calls that we recorded in our call center...so, yeah. We didn't really have huge requirements.) I tried convincing them to just use Audacity, but their response was "it's open source, anyone could mess with it, it was probably made by some guy in china, it's free which means it sucks, etc."::eyeroll:: I tried telling them about how widespread its use is, and how it was made by a former Carnegie-Mellon-current-Google-employee, but they weren't having none of it.
It will draw "additional" current, but you're also assuming a 1-3 year old single-core CPU would draw as much power as a brand new multi-core CPU.
You do realize that as things are made with smaller fabrication processes (90nm -> 65nm -> 45nm, or whatever progression you want to compare), their power requirements drop SIGNIFICANTLY. For example, check out this older comparison. Looking at an Athlon X2 5000+, the difference in power requirements are huge. 90 watts for the 90nm with the CPU pegged at 100%, while the 65nm drops to 72 watts at 100%. Keep in mind these are A) old CPUs, and B) aren't tweaked for use in a mobile setting...yet there is an 18 watt difference based on die size ALONE, much less comparing one generation of chips to another (and their relative power consumption and computing power.)
tl;dr: you can't compare an old single-core model to a new dual-core model, especially when they use completely different architectures and die sizes.
^This, a thousand times this. Any potential benefits (from a hardware or software perspective) that I could gain by switching to an iPhone would be instantly wiped out by the loss of the pull-down notification bar.
That one feature alone instantly makes Android a better choice...IMO, of course.

However, she does not get softball questions from the media. They threw every curve ball at her they could.
Yup. Asking what magazines she reads is like beaning her right in the head. ::eyeroll::

I listened to George W Bush address this nation for 8 years. Were you listening? If the man isn't an idiot, he was doing a great job talking like it.
If W was really an idiot, would it be his fault? Guess what: he's Ivy-league educated, and not an idiot.

The man is a fucking idiot.
I didn't say Obama, I said the Democratic party. You do realize Obama isn't the only person with a (D) after their name, right?

i'm glad i'm not an American if this sort of thing is acceptable there.
Common? Yes. Acceptable? No. Well, at least not for those of us that actually think -_-;;
Sir, we are coming to your house. Place your hands in the yellow circle. If you state you are a meat popsicle, you will be arrested.

Can't forget about the hooligans...they're the ones causing all the ruckus (presumably, down at the docks.)
That's the US Government's motto: "If it worked the first time, you didn't fuck it up enough."
Or due to being pissed on by hyper-chilled urine. Take your pick, I'm not sure which one is worse -_-;;

That's what I was thinking...unless, of course, that's their intention. I don't know, the legal world is a strange and silly place.
