Thank you. People too often forget that we're a republic and I would venture to guess most people don't know what that means. It's a very important difference. We use democracy because it's included in the charter that created our nation (the Constitution) but that does not mean we are a democracy in the true sense of the word. The founding fathers were wise and they gave us a foundation intended to prevent many of the problems we face as a nation today. We face these problems because many of us fail to understand the concept of a Republic and why it was created in the first place.
My understanding is that these would still be carbon based life forms, but would utilize arsenic instead of phosphorus. Then again, everything thus far is speculation. We're assuming it's a single celled life form, we're assuming it's an earthbound life form. Until this afternoon all we really know if NASA is going to announce something that has something to do with life and the search for it elsewhere.

Maybe, but we certainly have a constitutional right to voice our displeasure and disagreement with it. We also have the power to vote out people who think this is acceptable, we also have the right to gather and peacefully protest. Having a 'tough shit it's the rules' attitude is what creates the 'tough shit, we don't like it' attitude that led to the American Revolution in the first place.
I'm looking at a 21" LCD I paid $129.00 for. Just fifteen years ago these didn't exist (If they did they'd cost a lot more than $129). Is a $129 an abusive price? The very system you argue against is the very system that produces, what I think, is an amazing product at an extremely affordable price.
Who would you rather be abused by? Toshiba or a Powerful Government? I know which one Stalin would pick.Now that's a man who had "idealistic idiocies".
There's a fine line we walk between protecting consumers and protecting liberties. Attacking a group of companies that have revolutionized our civilization by producing items that 100 years ago would be considered magic, seems somehow foolish. Left unchecked there is a high chance that they may some day abuse their market power, but I would have to see some kind of abuse that outweighs the true value of the product they produce.
Only 5? That alone shows how bad the economy is. Back in the glory days we would have asked for at least 10 AND 4 cases of Code Red. People just don't value IT like they used too.
I've been pushing Chrome to all our users too. It seems to run a lot cleaner and I have fewer problems with the users that have jumped on the Chrome bandwagon.
Personally I only use Firefox when I need firebug to debug Javascript and I only use IE for a small handful of sites that intentionally block Chrome. As a developer I've realized if I code to Chrome I have almost no issues with IE or Firefox.
Very well put!!! Just because someone in a position of authority tells you to do something DOES NOT mean it's the right thing to do. History has taught us many lessons and your example is spot on.
With that being said, I know very little of the exact circumstances of this case, my knowledge is limited to the numerous articles I've read on the subject.
Those articles may or may not be accurate and without being in the court room and hearing the evidence presented I can't give an honest opinion on this case. That is up to the courts to decide.
My cell phone always works when the electricity goes out...until the battery dies that is. In fact, even during an ice storm last year that knocked down all kinds of wires, I still had two working cell phones.
I agree that POTS has an advantage over VOIP when wires to a house or business goes down, but I feel a lot better knowing in most circumstances my cells aren't bound entirely to wires (I have 2, one for work and one personal...different providers).
With that being said, I've been in the very reluctant process of moving 70 business users, spread out across multiple locations, over to a VOIP solution. I realize it is 'the way of the future', but management doesn't understand there's still issues with it. We have 4 out of the 6 locations moved over and there have been lots of tiny problems...and I'm the guy who has to work overtime to deal with those problems. It has lots of great feature enhancements, but I have to look at it from a 'Big Picture' point of view. Do these 'new features' increase productivity, save the company money and make us better OR do they create downtime, confuse end-users and never get fully utilized.
We are talking about the internet, not all forms of distance communication.
We're talking about the 'birth' of the Internet and what started it. If you want to limit your definition to the first date the word "Internet" was jotted down somewhere or when Al Gore saved the polar bears, then those would be your opinions, just like mine.
What "is" the Internet other than a really fast way of communicating in a wide variety of forms (many non-existent in 1999) at a distance.
I'm sorry you couldn't appreciate the humor of the fig leaf. Just for that, I'm not posting my jpeg.
What if you just strapped one pigeon onto another pigeon? Each pigeon goes one direction. Thus if we strap two pigeons together we have a bidirectional avian connection. The future is now.
I do something similar. I use a prepaid WalMart card for all online purchases. Typically I use it along with my PayPal account (which has a fraud guarantee, that I've used on one occasion). If it gets hacked they won't get much.
I personally would never give my actual bank card to anyone over the Internet or Phone. To be perfectly honest I pay for most transactions with cash and I haven't written a check (other than payroll checks) in almost 10 years.
Okay, I guess that makes me a crusader. I'm interested in volunteering and yes, my ideology plays a part in it. I believe if you want to live in a better world then you get up every day and you work for it. You take actions to make it a better world. Maybe you have a problem with people who feel like this, because you said you can't see how any of those groups end up with good results. Well my friend, I'm a proud member of group number two and I would like to know exactly what problem you have with the way I live my life.
Do you know how I get paid? By seeing the world around me get better. If people in this country want to live in a better place, then my advice is to quit bitching about it and get to work, or at least stand out of the way for those of us who aren't wallowing in self pity.
They binged up my browser when I updated to IE 8. I've been a Microsoft supporter in many cases, but this time they really binged up bad. What good is the internet if it's all binged up? Who would of thought binging things up would become an actual business plan
That simply makes too much sense. Ford, Chevy and Chrysler all use a combination of multiple domains/sub-domains for dealerships to use to access their networks. this covers everything from ordering cars to submitting warranty claims. They have multiple issues because they pass logged in users from domain to domain for various tasks. When in reality they could just use a series of sub-domains to centralize the sites. As it is we have to add about 20 different domains to our users trusted sites list. the end result is now whenever our end users are prompted to add something to their trusted sites, they do it, without really understanding what they're doing. The end result is a situation where too many multiple domains has dulled our ability to contain what gets marked as a trusted site. All that could be solved by using sub-domains more effectively.
All I did was comment that a comment had been made about Tesla and suddenly I'm a troll. I think it's Edison. He's still trying to keep Nick down. I was merely pointing out the fact that Tesla would come into play on the conversation rather quickly. I looked at some of the other comments after you made yours and you're right, someone isn't a Tesla fan. Of course, I'm still a troll or at least gnarled and bumpy.

You're only saying that because we have the highest number of people in jail per capita (higher than Russia and China). Let freedom ring!
I'm pretty sure if you owned a nuclear bomb you'd be able to negotiate to keep it.

Don't be silly, nothing in DC can over power the stench of congress.
He'd have to show up in court to argue the case.

The 'Internet', in MHO, goes back further.
Did it really start with digital machine communication?
Or did it start when we first learned distanced communication and created the wiring infrastructure that really gave rise to Internet.
What is the oldest form of long distance communication? There's people in Wales that have a whistle language that travels pretty far, I think.
Maybe we should date it to smoke signals?
Drum beats?
Screams?
I get it, it all started when Adam dropped his fig leaf. Eve's first scream. I think I have a jpeg of that. Stupid fig leaf...
The carrier pigeon was a homing pigeon, but not all homing pigeons were carrier pigeons.
