I'd say you've pretty much nailed it with that comment. A lot of the coverage of Obama was prompted by attacks that he was "pallin' around with terrorists" and whatnot. The press investigated, found that the concerns were baseless, and the result was what ammounts to a positive story for Obama.
Then, of course, McCain keeps up the attacks and the press writes what ammounts to a negative story about how McCain is slinging mud on the campaign trail.
It's not really that the press was biased (though I will give you that the media does tend to have a leftist tilt), so much as that they covered what was happening on the election trail. How was anyone supposed to spin the facts as a positive story for McCain?
Obama, on the other hand, didn't give the press much chance to cover McCain. His attacks were far fewer, and according to most fact checkers nearly every one of them had merit.
The studio's concern over the need for ads seems misguided. They upload the movies to You Tube. You Tube hosts the content, they provide the ads, they pay for the bandwidth, and they give rev share to the studios. For the minimal ammount of effort required on the studio's part, if even one person clicks on an ad, the studio has turned a profit for their endevor.
The movie is already (if it's one that anyone wants to see) paid off by ticket sales and DVD sales.
Send them A+ certification books if they request something on computer repair. Maybe network+ as well.
I would recomend All-in-One CompTIA A+ Certification Exam Guide, 6th Ed.,
by Michael Meyers I got my A+ cert using the 5th edition, and it was very well written (never too dry, and highly educational).
I wouldn't go much beyond A+ or Net+, because A+ and net+ would be usefull books even if you had no computer to practice with. You could learn by rote and apply a lot of it when you had a computer later. Further exams such as MCSE would require, IMO, hands on while you are reading, as the concepts become more abstract.
They're not "taken by people whose only intention is to put up some filler ad pages in the hopes that someone might happen along."
They're there simply to sell for a profit in case someone wants to come along and use that name. It's a big business, right up there with buying potential misspellings of popular domains and putting up ads for their competitors.
A huge fight. This is being tested with beta drivers and it already far outclasses nvidia in every game I've seen reviewed except crysis, and it's neck and neck in crysis.
Nvidia is going to get trounced, that's all there is to it.
Isn't this one of those "there's no record yet, so anything we do is a record" records? Or is this the record book's attempt to record a genuine record and best the record of a previous record holder?
Really? Because I have an Intel processor, an nVidia chipset, and an nVidia graphics card.
The reason for this anti-trust case isn't entirely because of a monopoly. It's because of a monopoly + noncompetitive practices made to artificially keep AMD's market share low.
Intel fan boy, AMD fanboy, it doesn't matter. There is 0 debate in the fact that AMD's Athlon core was a much superior product to Intel's Netburst. However, their market share has not reflected that.
AMD alleges that that's because Intel has been offering $37 million worth of discounts to OEMs, but only if they keep AMD at or below 20% of their products sold. Intel says that these are not unfair or anticompetitive at all.
That's where the anti-trust stuff comes in. Abusing dominant position in the market place to keep others off your turf.
If you're going to say that Wii Fit is not a work out I'd point you at the Wii Sports Experiment. For six weeks this guy played Wii Sports agressively and lost 9 pounds. Is that a lot? No. But it did take him from a BMI of "overweight" to "normal". I can't imagine something that gets your whole body in to the workout while providing you with motivation (BMI and weight tracking) could be anything but more effective. Even if only slightly.
It will work. I've been trying to migrate to a Linux dual boot system for months now, but between problems with my wireless card and every flavor of Linux's refusal to recognize my nVidia raid controller, I've given up and am forced to be content with windows. I tried quite hard, but since the only "support" Linux has are worthless IRC chat rooms and forums and hoping to God someone else has had the same problem as you, getting anything done is like pulling teeth. Having a support number you can call would be fantastic. Pre-loaded PCs provide that.
Reason not to:
Buy a cheaper computer with Windows, then notify Dell (or whomever) that you refuse the liscence agreement. They are required to refund the value of the software to you.
I've never heard that mentioned in the standard.
Also, you know that the term "binary blobs" has a very specific meaning, right? given that meaning... I'm not sure why someone would need to insert something into the kernal to add functionality to ODF... are you sure we're talking about the same thing?

by liscencing them?
Next space walk to Hubble, they should make sure to have the astronauts bring some windex.
"Seamonkeys"... no?
How long until sony pulls out and announces a proprietary competing technology available to be liscenced?

Don't feed the trolls!
Because then they could still be held accountable. This whole administration has been about avoiding accountability for bone-head moves.
While "big boned" is a complete cop out, there are people with naturally larger waists... or worse yet, hormonal/glandular issues...
Well thanks. I was trying to look this up but obviously my google-foo has failed me.
The original article probably said the light was blue because many languages out there do not make a distinction between the colors green and blue.
Isn't this one of those "there's no record yet, so anything we do is a record" records? Or is this the record book's attempt to record a genuine record and best the record of a previous record holder?
because the companies that provide the product refuse to treat their customers like anything but common thieves.
I wish my moderator points didn't just expire. Hit the nail on the head.
