What a fucking dumbass judge. You fucking terroristic asshole. You do not have a need to know so you shouldn't be granted access to classified documents what a fucking ignorant son of a bitch.
I've never heard about this. How do humidity and elevation affect plasmas differently from LCDs?
I am not sure, but someone told me it affected the picture quality. I can confirm this with my experience with a Plasma TV the US Navy had installed in our barracks. The picture quality was so piss poor during the summer that it made it numbing to watch TV. The picture quality increased when it was cooler and less humidity. Here is some information about Plasma TV's and Altitude
I like the look of plasma over LCD but sadly, it seems LCD is winning out.
Plasma's are fine and dandy for high elevation low humidity areas like the mountains, however, LCD is the perfect fit for lower high humidity areas like the southeastern portion of the USA. I am still glad I bought my LCD tv, and not a plasma. I have heard multiple complaints from people I work with that have Plasma's on how crappy their dvd's and blu-rays look. They even went as far as buying another TV in LCD format and they are amazed at the picture quality improvement both in high action scenes and steady ones. However, you go back west its another story with the Plasma's.
unfortunately the argument of "Either you are with us or you are against us." is still 100% Valid. You either support terrorism and the acts that terrorists do, or you do not support terrorism, and you want to do anything within means and power to abolish the fear that terrorism instills.the "you are with us or against us". Also tends to imply "If you don't support the measures we advocate against terrorists then you must be supporting terrorism".
We need more people out there that support any measures that need to be taken to thwart a tragedy, and stop thinking that a peaceful talk and negotiations will help avoid an attack, because it wont. Case in point is Japan during WW2.
And maybe that's why Europe and Asia has a long history of despotic strongmen. Order over freedom tends to get that for you.
As opposed to our *recent* history of them, of course. Fortunately, those of us in the U.S. are about to get rid of our despotic strongmen, along about January 20 of next year. No more of the "You better watch what you say," or "Anyone against us is unpatriotic" type of people. Mindless jingoism doesn't look good no matter what country you're from.

Now that we have a defacto state of a dictatorship in the US Iam more fearful then I was under the Bush Administration. I am worried that all the efforts of the last 8 years will be completely washed down the drain, and another more serious attack will instill, because of our lack of a defense system and the policies under which now make it easier to thwart a terrorist attack much like those that were planned to drop transatlantic flights over the Atlantic into the Atlantic Ocean and kill hundreds of people. I hope to God Biden wasn't right in the testing of Obama, because if he was then we need to beef up our defense posture even more and be more vigilante and leave no rug unturned sort of speak. We must continue to investigate all leads even if they seem ridiculous.
Even then as a contractor for the government, the ideas I get and work with become the sole responsibility of the contract company i am working with. It is in my contract.
Isnt that part of humanity to become the King Lion in the jungle, and control everything as far as the eye can see? I know thats what i Have learned from observing humanity. It is time that people realize that humanity is a cut throat species where you aim for the top, kick ass, take names, and then kick people out to make it there. Learn to live with that fact. Power, Greed, and Free Thought is what makes us who we are.

Last I checked Microsoft's Exchange Server works well only with IE. Unlike Gmail or Yahoo mail. Exchange is lousy with Firefox, Opera or Safari. Where is the choice?
And Exchange Server 2008 I belive even screws up the IMAP support, so Thunderbird users get the bird as well... So much for interoperability and transparency.
Have you used Lotus iNotes which is Lotus Notes for the web? It is completely broken and useless in non-internet explorer environments, so I would take your exchange bashing elsewhere. I prefer a somewhat working OWA then one that doesn't work at all.
No Slashdotters are ignorant fucktards who have no idea what it fucking takes to keep America Safe, and who have no idea that the very thing the IC is doing is protecting their fucking rights. Fucking ignorant conspiracy believing fucktards here on slashdot you all can go rot in fucking hell.
The whistleblower should have their military benefits taken away and their JSAM Award removed. They are a fucking pathetic excuse of an American. FUCK YOU WHISTLEBLOWER.
I ALSO HOPE THEY FUCKING ROT IN FT LEAVENWORTH WITH THE REST OF THE FUCKING IGNORANT SPIES AND PEOPLE WHO TELL THE REST OF THE FUCKING WORLD WHAT THE FUCK WE ARE DOING. I HOPE THEIR CLEARANCES GET PERMANENTLY REVOKED FOR LIFE.
I hope they put this person on trial and then fry their ass in an electric chair. Fuckin moron setting back the fucking Intelligence Community several years and wasting billions of dollars. Way to go you fucking whistle blowing disgruntled piece of shit ass kisser. Do you also work for the New York Times? What a fuckin retard. Id happy kill this motherfucking douchebag myself. I dont care if I get modded to hell. Anyone who supports Whistleblowing can also die and rot in fucking hell you sorry assed ignorant motherfuckers.
See you shouldn't be commenting on such issues since its different in your neck of the woods and in your country. I am perfectly happy with using my 16Meg cable, and I do not need blazing fast internet speeds, because I do not use Torrents, I do not watch TV and movies on my computer, all I do is on my computer is casual gaming and web browsing. I dont have any high bandwidth/capacity needs. I get all my TV viewing on my Cable TV with great quality with over 400 channels of content for 80 bucks a month with DVR and HDTV Service. Its a lot cheaper to run fiber in smaller areas then it is to run it cross country at so much a foot. You still do not understand the cost of laying out a fiber network or let alone high capacity lines to give you your 100Meg Synchronized internet connection. I would suggest to you that you become more educated on how much it costs in various regions across the globe to lay out Fiber Connections starting at the OC3 level which is 155Megabits a second or roughly 3 DS3's. You will see that it is quite costly in other markets, and thusly why other markets do not have plans to offer any more bandwidth. I can guarantee that they would have to put in a few more OC192's or greater across the US Along major Interstate highways like I-10, I-5, I-25, I-40, I-95, and the others to provide a lot more bandwidth then what people are getting now.
So who gives a flying fuck that I cannot get an ISO in under a minute, but I can get 4 Gigs in under 4 hours which is fast to me. I don't even use my allocated bandwidth or what I am paying for or even come close to capping it out, so in my opinion, people who want higher bandwidth speeds like you do should pay out more to afford their internet addiction to high bandwidth applications such as torrents and online viewing of television. And they should leave those alone who are content with their 16/3 connection.
And who makes sure the ISP's get dough? THe customer you and I, so you are telling me that you would support massive rate hikes to get broadband capable of 1Gigabit a second, and even if those rate hikes are 100 dollars more per month for current service? You would be the first one inline to complain about the bill and try to find another ISP for cheaper.
I am happily paying 55 a month for my 16Meg down 3Meg Up Comcast High Speed Internet. Id only pay at most 10 to 15 bucks more if I knew the money would be spent on current infrastructure upgrades.
The US is larger than both Sweden and Japan, yes. But it also has a larger population, and thus a larger economy than either, which should be able to support that infrastructure.
And the US has a higher population density that Sweden.
You have highways running all over the country right? Why wouldn't you make the same investment for the backbone?
Then upgrade the backbone. Instead of limiting the speed for end users, invest in the backbone and eliminate the clogging. I'm guessing Japan doesn't have that big of a problem with the backbone though. (neither does Sweden it would appear, I can easily reach 100 Mbps if I download directly from someone else on a 100 Mbps connection within Sweden)
Its a lot easier to upgrade infrastructure in a smaller place then it is in a bigger one. Sweden and Japan are small assed nations compared to the USA, so the cost of long haul fiber would be cheaper for those nations, then it would be for the USA.
Do you need a quick physical geography lesson to see this?
Can you afford to help run high capacity and long haul fiber optic cable from Annapolis, Md to San Francisco, Ca so everyone can be all happy and content with their broadband? As well as to connect each and every house hold in the US to be able to use this new High Capacity and long haul fiber back bone network? I dont think you can, so please stop sounding like you are smart, because quite frankly you are not.
But also those damned reset questions are a massive security hole.
Uh no they aren't. Its not the question that is the security hole its the person creating the answer. When I use the secret answer method, I always type in something that a close relevance to the true answer, but without giving anything up to be guessed. My wife can't even guess my passwords, and she has known me for 7 years.
Currently where I live, there are multiple ISP that offer different internet connections. Anywhere there is a DSLAM in place then any ISP who has the infrastructure can use it. Where I live I can pick AOL, MSN, SpeakEasy, Verizon, Comcast, and the local people. Its just a matter of how educated the person is when moving someplace. If you move then research the place where you are moving too and get a better idea of your service options.
Google make one that's not evil? Judging from their other ventures, they'd make it free, but use it as a data mining and advertising platform (I know this has been tried before and failed) and you'd sign away all rights on your online activities to Google. They only keep that motto to distract people from the evil they want to do.
In the middle of your telephone calls, you'd be interrupted with a telephone call from a Google Adsense Customer.
