Actually my "racial slur" as you call it, show my inability to spell. I totally didn't notice that. Congratulations though, you just joined thousands of other Americans, in actively attempting to find racism in everything. I hope moral outrage keeps you fueled, because I expect a -1 troll rating coming your way any moment.
To any black people that found my previous post offensive, I seriously did not intentional misspell that.
Which is probably why they feel the need to overstep their authority all the time, so that the rest of the agencies and the American people know that they actually do something.
The few times that I have played anything on Xbox Live account, the chat is always over run with 13 year-olds, obscenities, and homo-erotic remarks.
Besides, who else thinks, it is hot, that there are lesbian girls actually playing video games? Xbox you just lost my vote, by removing possibly the one female online player.
Scientists are hailing the scientific breakthrough on human entanglement as the "ball-and-chain" phenomena. They admit that generally the entanglement only last for a short amount of time commonly referred to as the "honeymoon period" after which the attraction continues to degrade over varying periods of time.
While your explanation of the waste levels is good for those of us with an understanding of such things, I would like to simplify it for the rest of us:
"You put the lime in the coconut. You shake it all up."
I stated a fact. The bill of rights only protects citizens of the USA. It doesn't protect anyone else. That doesn't mean that foreigners should not have any protections, or that the Bill of Rights shouldn't apply. It doesn't and legislation would have to be made to make it apply. Although you would be correct in that I don't think all of it should apply. I am surprised you got modded up as "Insightful". I think a better modding would have been: "Inciteful".
Over the last year Youtube has consistently been doing stupid things. I was about to stop using them altogether. This might just be the last straw if this becomes widespread.
Halted the questionable legal proceedings against people held at Guantanamo Bay To say that the legal proceedings are questionable and worthy of being stopped is itself questionable and in need of further investigation before you can make the claim, something Obama hasn't done, but just stopped the proceedings before investigation.
Ordered the shutdown of the prison at Guantamo Bay Where are we going to store these prisoners now? American prisions are overcrowed now. (Although I do agree that these people need to be getting some sort of trial before they are held indefinitely. However, if they are not American citizens, they are not subject to the bill of rights.)
Ordered the shutdown of CIA "black sites" (can't really argue with this one, except that I am dubious of the truth of this.
Ordered the CIA to stick to the Army Field Manual for interrogation purposes (read: no more torture) (that is arguably torture. And if torture, it is merely psychological, and can arguably produce valid intel. There is a significant difference between physical torture and psychological torture.)
Overturned Bush's order to limit release of presidential records and FOIA documentation (True, but if you believe that the new administration is going to release anything self incriminating or of any real relevance to current intelligence issues, I have a piece of "prime" real-estate to sell you. Slashdot made much of the memo about this that Obama sent out. I would really love to know about the next
Began diplomatic overtures to Iran (How is this a good thing? Iran has refused to make any friendly contact with the US, and has repeated told us to collectively fuck off. When we are willing to pander to their pre-conditions while setting none of our own, it makes us week in the worlds eyes)
Began talking to Israel, Palestine, Egypt, etc, to hasten resolution of the Israel/Palestine violence (Which of course the Bush Adm. didn't do at all/sarcasm. This goes with being the US president. It isn't any reflection on Obama's skill.)
Rescinded the Mexico City "gag rule" on government aid to agencies that provide information on abortion (True)
Froze white house salaries at existing levels (While preparing to waste billions and billions of dollars on the lower class. Still the frozen salaries is a plus.)
Passed an executive order banning ex-White House personnel from lobbying the White House until after Obama is out of office. (Once again, why is this good? Ex-Whitehouse people have just as much right to push their agendas as anyone else, as long as they do it through the proper channels)
Inquired about extending the use of open source software in government (I can inquire about giving away free energy to America. It means nothing. Let's remember who can't even give up their damned Blackberry. If Obama were truly tech savy, he would need a particular piece of proprietary tech to do his job)
Um, no they don't.
My generation "needs" broadband. A lot of older people, especially the elderly, have no need or desire for the internet. I suspect that when I am in my eighties, I will have much less desire to communicate with the world or check the news on a minute by minute basis. Just because some of us use the internet on a regular basis, that doesn't mean that everyone would be better off for it.
Thanks for the reply post. It would appear that our Robotic overlords lack the programming to understand sarcasm, or for the matter irony given my certain sexual orientation:)
Obviously your friend should adopt a page from the Nigerian Scam book:
"I would love to pay for my subscription, but I currently do not have access to checks or credit cards because of a pending legal battle over [stolen nazi gold][great uncles death][ect]. However, if you provide me with your bank account number, I will wire you three times the amount you are asking."
I take serious issue with the part of the article where they mention that most Marines who toured Iraq believe that all civilians should be treated as insurgents. Of course you treat everyone like potential insurgents in an urban combat environment, otherwise you will end up dead. That says nothing about ethical views or the proper treatment of people in general. SWAT teams are taught to consider everyone as a terrorist when they are attempting hostage rescue. That means, that they never take for granted that the apparent "hostage" is indeed a hostage. It keeps people safe.
It is guaranteed to help you gain a photographic memory. You'll never forget anything again! The secret to this amazing breakthrough is...Dammit, I can't remember.
At first glance it sounds like a great idea but...
Obviously, you can't shoot this thing every time you want to advance. Therefore, you have to be aware that there might be an ambush or something ahead. However, if you shoot the device, you just gave up your position and alerted the enemy that you are coming. If you have already engaged the enemy, I don't see how this helps you either. You already know where they are. That means, that there are few times when this device would actually be useful, and probably not often enough to make it worth the effort to carry around and the money it would cost.
Thus far it has been starting up much faster than its predecessor. Also, it starts up much more smoothly. It almost always takes the same about of time from boot to fully loaded. Previous versions of Ubunutu tended to be all over the charts on my system. While, I certainly am a fan of faster boot times, it isn't a make or break deal for me. It definitely should be a consideration, and I hope the Ubuntu devs devote more time to it in the future. However, Ubuntu would need to approach Windows XP start up times before I started to get seriously pissed off.

I hate the fact that the "Think of the children" plea has allowed schools to become exempt from constitutional control. It is absolutely a travesty.
I had given up all hope. I am so happy that they are finishing the trilogy.
Contrary to popular opinion, we never got a bat into space. It is a conspiracy by the government to one-up batman. You're all a bunch of sheeple.

One leader never promised openness. Yet his party
was rightfully removed from office because he was
to secretive.
One leader promised transparency and to shy away
from deceptive cramming of bills through congress.
He re-nigs on both, immediately.
They both make you angry, but as I see number 2
is the bigger travesty.
Well this is good news for me. When I take over my
small island, and start my tax haven/ banking
empire, I will have less competition.
Now if I could only figure out how to get my bribe
money out of my frozen Swiss accounts,
I would be on my way.

They are of course including North Korea, which may have 2Mbps of broadband, but no electricity to use it with!

And don't forget about them dangerous homosexuals. You can be protected from them if you give up your fingerprints.
I suppose the real advantage of this, is that your Cheeto encrusted hands don't smear the screen you are trying to read.
They can pry my mouse and keyboard from my cold, dead fingers.
