yes, you're correct. However, it is a censuring of a "right" in that if I go to a doctor and receive treatment and don't like the treatment...I should by the inherent right of our freedoms be able to post my opinion about it.
This is lame. I'm so tired of hearing/reading about crap like this, it just frustrates me. How dare I voice a negative opinion about some stupid doctor's office? Please.
Nothing a few disgruntled patients with high aggression levels won't fix.
Please God, tell me it's not too late for me to invest in your company!
I dunno, Hulu worked out pretty well after all. Whoa. Scratch that.;-)

If you think about it, maybe this one was why the content providers all wanted to put the hulu-genie back in the bottle with the whole Boxee proscription. They were about to roll out their own proprietary box.
It looks to me like someone has been busy trying to hide Microsoft's patent escapades. I have recently noticed that the Kerberos FAQ and the Wikipedia entry for Kerberos no longer reference the patents Microsoft added to Kerberos, as still found here
So go into the history and roll it back. And report the IP/username of whoever edited it out.
This is so simple I think I'd have to be stupid to come up with it.
Given: We've got an economy that's tanking.
Given: Exactly one president who will (he claims) save the economy by hook or by crook.
Given: Aforementioned president has indicated that he supports open-source software as the way of the future.
Given: Aforementioned president has declared that the American people must SPEND their way out of recession (isn't this a bit lie fighting for peace?)
Now, given those, we can approach this intelligently. Since Obama wants people to SPEND SPEND SPEND, it makes sense that they need something to spend it on. Now, if Microsoft puts Tom Tom out of business, or the resulting settlement somehow makes Tom Toms get more expensive, people won't be able to spend money on Tom Toms. Therefore, this would be one of those ideal situations to A) promote patent reform, to the benefit of the economy, B) Somehow turn the president against Microsoft, due to their obviously anti-competitive and monopolistic practices that are contrary to HOPE(tm) and CHANGE(tm) and the little people, and C) Convince people to switch to either Linux or Mac. Microsoft has such piss poor FS support. Linux can handle everything under the sun, and some things that aren't. Mac can probably handle more than MS. Windows? It just deals with FATx, ISO9660 (but only on a real CD, no facilities to mount an image), and UDF. If Linux/Mac support their hardware better, I bet people would use those operating systems more. I know I would have in the past.
Is u***** even alive anymore? I've wanted to try to use it, but the big ISPs have been trying to kill it (for the children), and I can't find any news servers that don't involve me handing them credit card information (or are otherwise free).
Whose leg do I have to hump to get access to newsgroups anymore?
Well, we just need something that stops the terrorists if they look at the picture.
Given the rampant homophobia in terroristic countries, one could just embed pictures of gay men into the pictures. As some kind of water mark. THAT would stop them for sure.
And even better, it's well known you get gay from looking at gay people, so the terrorists would get gay from searching their targets. And THAT would stop them, or did you ever hear of sponteaously combusting gay terrorists ? I don't think so. Gay man are much to faggy to terrorize anyone (besides the vendor in the curtain store for not having the right brand of pink curtains).
And even if they blow themselves up, they'll get 99 female virgins in afterlife and then WHAT? HAHA we got you Mr. Terrorist.
Actually, if this were true, they would have to kill each other. Somehow that seems just as effective as sending our soldiers to them to be shot at.
Also, the terrorists weren't told this, but the 99 virgins are basically old women who couldn't get any.
So if I know it's there, I have to hide it and basically call MORE attention to it, but if I don't know it's there, I don't have to hide it? What kind of retarded logic is that?
Exactly. That's called the Streisand Effect! It was named after a member of America's most outstanding group of individuals renowned for litigiousness and not thinking things through. Most of them are from California.
digital converter boxes != big screen TVs
They may connect to each other, but they are not the same device.
I wasn't thinking of the converter box rebate at all. I was thinking more of this government line of "SPEND! SPEND! DON'T SAVE! WE NEED TO PUMP UP THE ECONOMY! THE SKY WILL FALL IF YOU HAVE ANY MONEY SAVED!" attitude.
Unfortunately, the reality is that potential employers almost literally never give any sort of reason, and very little useful feedback anymore, even if it would be positive or useful.
Fixed that "Fixed that fixed that for you for you" for you. Potential employers don't even send rejection letters anymore it seems.
I still get rejection letters a lot of times. Sometimes months after I've forgotten about the company (and ask myself "Who is Company X? I've never heard of them, why are they sending me a rejection."). Maybe it depends on the industry and company.
And how about finally giving credit to us pollocks for our contribution of the solar powered flashlight, my people have been ridiculed for long enough on this one.
Q: How many pollocks does it take to recharge a solar powered flashlight?
A: None. They haven't figured out how to charge them at midnight when the power goes out.
Thanks! I'm here all week! Make sure to tip the bartenders and these fine waitresses, they're doing a hard job for you!
Actually....I would promote that if people want to express opinions on the internet (especially if they might be controversial and hinder a job hire) they should take advantage of just that fact that the internet can be anonymous!!
I have been of the humble opinion that you should pretty much always use a pseudonym, never your real name.
If you post pictures of yourself in college, sitting half nekkid sucking on a skull bong, well, you're just asking for trouble later in life.
I'm thankful that back when I was in school....there were no digital cameras nor internet to publish said images to. Thankfully....I think I have all the negatives...
:)
Mr Bond (aka cayenne8)...I have the microfilm of you sucking on a Bob Marley Skull Bong while sitting cross-legged and naked among a group of erect men.
Your carelessness will now be the dawning of my brave new world! And all for having a camera in the dorm room! Muhahahahahaha!
the fact that you posted as "Anonymous Coward" should answer your question here. lets say your name is "Bob Smith" for example, now someone else, whom you don't like perhaps, purchases the domain name www.bobsmith.com and makes a site all about how you are recruiting for "young gay men who are willing to let themselves be eaten alive" or whatever would make you look bad. is it fair that an employer can now judge you based on this?
No, it isn't. But then again, you have a distinct case for libel at that point.
The problem is the internet is anonymous
Nice try, but DNS isn't quite anonymous. Not only that, but Evil Bob Smith isn't just anonymously posting to someone else's message board. He owns the site.
Sure, he can skirt things even more to hide (this isn't terribly hard,and has been done e.g. wikileaks), but once Good Bob Smith catches him, his actions will be used as prima facie evidence that his intent was malicious, as opposed to just anonymous coward on a trolling day.

Unless you're going to say Lincoln - who led us into the only other war against a state that hadn't attacked us - who else ran up the national debt while weakening the nation?
People will give Obama a little slack with his 2 trillion dollar budget hole since most of it is allegedly going to patch the holes Bush left in the ship when he ran it aground.
Actually, I was thinking of Lincoln, followed rather closely by Franklin Roosevelt.
I didn't give Bush any wiggle room for $8x10^11, and I'm not going to give Obama any wiggle room for $12x10^12. The one thing people seem to forget is that it's not the government spending its own money (there's no such thing). It's spending their money. And that money has to be paid by someone. Who's going to pay it? Why, the only one who's spending it: each and every American. Only problem is if I refuse to spend my share, I get to go to jail.
However, don't get too cocky there. Bush wasn't responsible for the.com bust, or the housing bubble. In fact, we can blame the housing bubble on Bill Clinton's administration, for loosening the regulation on FNMA and FMAC in the first place.
You can't wholly blame Bush for 9/11. Clinton was the one who generally ignored all the warning signs. Bush did continue this, but Clinton rather got these things rolling.
How about Bernie Madoff? No, Bush didn't ignore any investors who repeatedly stated it was a ponzi scam. In fact, I wouldn't expect Bush to understand all of that. He's a smart guy in his own sphere. However, he's not a financial guy. You have to blame the regulators for ignoring Harry Markopolos.
For all the huffery and puffery, the president is really supposed to be smaller in the scheme of things than he is. He really shouldn't be treated like the king that he really is. He's not some kind of deity with the power to directly make the economy boom and crash. He can't stop terrorism. He's not the regulator. When regulators are asleep at the switch, shit breaks.
Has BHO undone anything much of Bush's that benefits you?
Yes, overturned Pharamacists being able to deny me a doctors perscription due to "religious beliefs". Being in a strong Religious community, this is very important to me. My wife would appreciate our birth control perscription now without having to drive to an open minded pharmacist.
Don't like it? Find another pharmacist. That's called voting with your feet. And it really, really works.
What if the guy at the TV store tells me he finds TV to be objectionable and refuses to sell me a TV? Your wife doesn't have a right to birth control pills any more than I have a right to a big screen TV. Sure, we can both get what we want. The electronics salesman just lost my business. The PharmD just lost your wife's business. This isn't a difficult concept!
What you just advocated is a rather dangerous blur between church and state. As I recall, you liberals really, really hate that.
Also, don't be a twink. "Open-minded" is not an acceptable synonym for "agrees with you". It means that the other person listens to your argument before making the decision (it says nothing about the decision, he may very well disagree with you anyway). I could easily call you closed-minded for not considering that the PharmD has just as much right to his beliefs as you do. But I won't. You hadn't thought of that to begin with, so it would be wrong of me to penalize you.

I think it's hermaphrodites for Menage-a-trois
That'd be H3M
Perhaps the government will provide one as part of it's next Economic Stimulus bill. Write your congressman today!
No good. The PETA people will somehow try to declare horses to be free-persons, and make it illegal to ride them without their consent.
What good is a pony if you cannot ride her?

Problem solved
So, is UDF an acceptable replacement for FAT (FAT32) filesystems on CF, SD etc devices?
I think it's not patented (but ICBW) and I believe (but ICBW again) Windows has the ability to read/write UDF filesystems.
Patented? I can't tell. Possibly, but then again, possibly not.
Can MS do it? Yes. Windows can handle UDF. Some versions of Windows require an IFS, though. I think XP can do it natively.
This is so simple I think I'd have to be stupid to come up with it.
Now, given those, we can approach this intelligently. Since Obama wants people to SPEND SPEND SPEND, it makes sense that they need something to spend it on.

Sounds alot like the reverse process of taking someone's money and then giving them investment advice...
Actually, it sounds a bit like the way the US Gov't works. Takes our money, then tells us to spend it all on big screen TVs.
