NPR did a spot on voter intimidation this morning. They said that a certain state (forget the one) will no longer allow out-of-state political operatives to dispute someone's eligibility to vote, and all challenges must be in writing, with particulars.
This was done in response to Republican tactics in the last election.
They may even report on Republican dirty tricks, but you'd never hear the word "Republican" uttered during the story, or they could even "goof" and attribute them to Democrats.
That's what they did last year when that Republican congressweasel from Florida got in trouble for sexually harassing his male aides. First they reported him as being a Florida Democrat, then they just omitted his party affiliation when they were called on it.
The "Obama is a closet Muslim" thing truly is enough to prevent certain people from voting for him. NPR was interviewing various average voters in Pennsylvania a couple weeks ago, and one of the women practically went into hysterics when she started talking about how she believes Obama is a Muslim and that (according to her) nobody ever stops being a Muslim unless they die.
I thought it darkly amusing that this same woman had said earlier in the interview about how there was no bigotry in her neighborhood (referring to blacks).
Supposedly with pre-multisync monitors (say, your average early-'90s monitor, like my old Tandy VGM-340) if you weren't careful about what X modelines you used you could fry your monitor.
I've got enough ammo, I think. Almost 800 rounds of 7.62x54mmR, nearly all of it Czech FMJ from the '60s. Only one carbine to fire it, but if you want in AIM Surplus is selling Mosin-Nagant M91/30 rifles for $70, complete with bayonet, ammo pouch, and cleaning kit.
so does Kit Bond when he bothers to respond to me. Claire McCaskill has only done that to me once IIRC, but it was on the FISA bill, so she can drown in diarrhea.
Well, I'd like to ram a big stick up Adobe's ass too, because of their older Windows apps that I have to support requiring administrator rights to even work (yeah, I know, I could set custom permissions on the part of hkey_local_machine they use, but I don't know/where/), and also because of Dmitri Sklyarov.
The difference between the Geforce and Quadro lines is mainly the drivers: they're tweaked for different applications. Geforce drivers will sacrifice some display quality and precision for speed, which the Quadro driver will not, because a professional won't care as much about speed as he will about accuracy.
Apple never said Carbon was the future. Carbon was always a compatibility fudge so that it was easier for OS9 apps to run on OSX, and to make porting apps to the new OS easier. Cocoa was always the way forward, it's just that Adobe never bothered to switch.
if I'm grumpy or didn't sleep well, I'll miss my flight at the least, might spend some time in jail until they get it cleared up, or I could disappear for several months.
He might as well be a dictator to an extent, since he ignores constitutional limitations on his office and feels that he doesn't have to share any information whatsoever, and is generally unaccountable to anyone except Cheney.
It will be a good long time, if ever, before the damage he's done to our law is repaired.

That bulge never existed, citizen!

Let's not be illiterate.
because America needs another powerful, unaccountable functionary in the government.
Suppose, instead, that Congress does its job and shits out a decent copyright law.

That depends. Is it made by Sony? If so, probably.
No. Shipstones were far better than even this little dandy.
I will provide my own rifle, bullets, and bayonet.
tl;dr
You're a moron. Give yourself a shotgun mouthwash.

Agree. Since Vista SP1 supports EFI boot now, maybe in a few years most consumer computers will switch to EFI instead of BIOS.
Meantime, I wish Coreboot (formerly LinuxBIOS) worked on more motherboards. :-(
this DVD is being sent out to voters in swing states. A few thousand votes here and there...
You don't indulge in the UK's well-known tabloid "newspapers" like the Sun, I take it.
But yes, there are people who watch Faux News and lap that shit up like it was the Honest Truth.

I'm not a Mac fanboy, I just use one at work.

Goddammit, I miss the USA I grew up in.
I'm laughing, but I wish that was funny. :-(
The way the government's going, I wouldn't be surprised if the businesses have to use a particular package that gives the government backdoor access.
I've got about half a dozen discussion groups that I subscribe to. A couple of them have a few hundred posts a week.
