Dear Right-wing apologist,
Stop spreading disinformation. Scooter only has to pay a $250k fine which is pocket change for him.
"He was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison, two years of probation and a fine of $250,000 (£125,000)."

It's the old game: GOOD COP / BAD COP. The Democrats are the good cop and the Republicans are the bad cop. They both represent corporate America and their enemy is the American middle class.
Believe me, we would like to. It's not easy. There is a gigantic propaganda machine and a misinformed populace to deal with. The US is headed for a great depression. It will be too late but that's when people will understand.
- radiant floor heat throughout (even heat throughout house, doesn't dry you out like forced hot air) if you live in a cold climate, extend to driveway. flick a switch and bye bye snow.
- run all your cables in a conduit pipe. nothing worse than having to fish wire thru floors and walls
- solar roof tiles
- LED lighting
- CAT-6 wiring throughout for ethernet, internet, audio/video distribution, telephone (voip)
- SIP phones for voip, intercom, etc.... no analog phones. use asterisk/freeswitch for telephony server
- HDTV projector w/ceiling mount for watching movies
"But because you've moved the pollution someplace else (just like the prius) you don't notice that you're paying more, and doing more ecological damage than the exxon valdez did."
With a gas engine, you have to use the energy as you burn it, what hybrids like the Prius do, is allow you generate energy and store it then only burn gas when it needs to replenish the stored energy. In addition, it can store the energy generated when you brake. They should put a solar roof on the damn thing and let that charge your car while it's parked (think sunny Arizona).
A double standard indeed but don't blame India and Indians. Blame the US politicians that fail to reign in the corporations when we are paying $$$$ tax money to them. And don't stop at that, VOTE them out.
"These crimes, as we all know, also have a direct impact on our economy, costing victims millions of dollars and, if left unchecked, diminishing entrepreneurship," Gonzales said in announcing the bill.
He was actually referring to the daily activities of the Bush administration which he is a part of!
As many others point out, $10k-$25k for 5% in your company is ridiculous. It doesn't fund the company at all and they take a good percent of it. It's for suckers. A better deal would be something like $250,000 for 1-2 percent of the company plus resources. Then you could at least try.
There was a programmer at Boston University's Computer Graphics lab in the late 1980s that protected his commercial graphics application using exactly this system. If this company is not run by him, they can't patent it.
"Specifically, the claims describe a system that connects two parties where the receiving party does not need to have a computer or an Internet connection, but the call is routed in part through the Internet or any other 'public computer network'. The calls must also be 'full duplex', meaning that both parties can listen and talk at the same time, like in an ordinary phone call."
How about cell phones? Full duplex and routed over a cellular network? Or Internet to fax service?
I did the aame thing (out of frustration w/mythtv) but with a client/server setup and mplayer.

If they didn't help people upgrade, they'd lose their most effective propaganda outlet. Additionally, RCA and LG must be making $$$$$$ deals with them. Everything in the govt can be bought. It's capitalism at it's worst.

COLD FUSION
Can all Americans take this drug to forget the last 6 years of the Bush administration?
This post includes the redundant tags of "corruption, republicans". There's no need to repeat yourself.

They lie so frequently, it should not surprise anyone.

Good point. They must have used the word "global" to make it sound softer. US tech is getting slaughtered.
Agreed. Dennis Kucinich is the best candidate that has run in years. The media and corporations will not allow him to win by marginalizing him.
They should call it "The Hillbilly Museum of Creationism"
Tech saavy Jobs or anti-outsourcing/pro-American Dennis Kucinich. Both are Democrats.

Stop treating us like criminals and start treating us like customers. How's that for an idea?
When did it start and when does it expire (17 yrs later presumably)? I seem to remember tabs in products in software programs going back before 1990. How about HyperCard? http://weather-dimensions.com/tedkaehler/us/ted/re sume/hypercard_help.gif
Slashdot uses tabs!

Receiving party is a fax machine (not a computer and no Internet connection) Sending party is a UUCP to fax gateway. ???? And the kicker is that the evidence is on the EFF's own web site!!!! http://www.eff.org/Misc/Publications/E-journals/Go vAccess/govaccess.028

I guess it never dawned on them that government workers are the real threat to national security and to our children.
