I just refuse to vote for someone who ran a filthy campaign whose only issue was "the other guy sucks." That's my favorite logical fallacy, the "argument from ignorance": the other guy is bad, so we must be better.
Yeah, I am so glad Obama never did that choosing to run off of his long record of accomplishments instead*. The worst part of Obama's campaign was his voting record which, by the way, is the exact opposite of what he campaigned on. If I had a dime for every time I heard Obama say "Eight years of failed policies" or talk about George Bush, I would be in the rich tax bracket. At least McCain was putting down the person he was running against.
*I guess some day we might find out what those are.
As someone who once worked in an accounting shop, I can tell you that I worked on the taxes of people who were making many times more than I was (as a graduate student) and who paid much less because of tax loopholes. The larger tax-rates applied to wealthy people was sometimes rationalized by my employers as being a way to get *something* out of the wealthy at all.
Loopholes? No, that is the tax code. Even poor people have tax deductions. That said, what makes you think that raising the taxes on these people will fix that problem. they will still be able to take advantage of the loopho..... I mean tax code.
So again, why shouldn't we be clamouring for rich people and corporations to be paying up like the rest of us?
Look at who actually pays most of the taxes in this country, "rich people" and corporations. They pay about 80+%.
Opening a closed but not locked door and entering a building without permission is still against the law. It is called breaking and entering.
IANAL, and I'm just guessing, but wouldn't that be tresspassing? I mean, if you're breaking and entering, I would assume that requires the breaking of something, right?
Yes, like breaking the plane of the door as you enter the building.

Yes, breaking the plane of the door by entering the house.
I can just see it now on the news, that a sex offender HACKED into MySpace.com by using his eleet HACKING skills to steal free email services from hotmail.com!
Yes, the people who signed for loans they couldn't afford bear some of the blame as well.
Wrong, the people who signed for loans they couldn't afford bear 100% of the blame. Just because the government forces banks to lend you more money doesn't mean you have to. I could have gotten a much larger house in a better neighborhood, but I bought within my means.
Look at the ratings, Fox must be doing something right. Actually, I do watch MSNBC every once in a while to get a good laugh. If you love Keith Olberman(?) and watch him all the time (with their ratings, I doubt it) then you should watch Fox for the same reason. I guess the ratings could have something to do with who is on the channels. I mean Chris Matthews, are you serious? If I want to get yelled at for an hour, I would go over to my parents house.
Why shouldn't a homeless person have the same right to vote as me?
One word... Conditions. You see, they do have the same rights. They need to register. If not, why did I have to go down and register to vote? Why can't I just "show up" and vote, no questions asked? I think it is VERY funny that the people who say this are the same ones crying about voting irregularities?
I don't care if they DO know the questions in advance. I just want them to answer them, not give political speak to try to
1. appeal to the widest range of voters
2. Confuse a certain percent of voters
3. Not answer for what they have done in the past
4. confuse the issue with people who are not even the election
I strongly support term limits. I hate when McCain or Biden act like they have not been in the senate for 30+ years. And WTF is up with Obama (and others too) voting "Present". I mean if I could come to work and not do shit, but then turn around and say "but, I was here!" then that would be great but where would that get me? The only reason to vote that way is to prolong your political career and that is the last thing we need any elected official doing. Go there and do your damn job! Stand by tour record.
I bet there are more than 16,777,214 companies/people who use 10.0.0.0/8 subnets. These people would now need to get different addresses. I would not change the non-routable ranges....
10.0.0.0/8
172.16.0.0/11
192.168.0.0/16
Not really, but if third party candidates took 20% or so of the vote away from major parties, it might force them to do a reality check.
Like Perot did? That worked out great.... For Clinton.
Don't be fooled, just voting 3rd party to get people to take notice is a waste of a vote, especially if it puts someone else in office you really don't like.
It's not just that. If they responded this way, then it means that they don't want to learn. If you plan to employ them for the long-term, that's just as important as their current skill set.
Wait, you don't know that. Maybe they have tried to get security audits for years now, but management can't find the budget to do that.
I am lucky, The company I work for does do a yearly security audit. This finds all the mistakes my department makes. See, I am human and computers and technology is always changing. So yes, we have missed some things.
Also, we have found that other people usually are the ones that compromise security where I am at. Usually something like, "Oh, this installed SQL, but I did not think that really mattered. Should I have set a SA password and patched it?"
The more you let students or users or whoever break into your network, the more others think they can. This is a serious legal issue. The next person might not be so nice. Insert instant legal grounds. Well, I was going to tell them, I just wasn't finished yet. They have allowed this in the past.

FiveThirtyEight.com jacked up Obama's odds of winning to 98.1%
Ironically, that will be the tax rate on the rich, you know the ones who make over $250,000, uh $200,000... I mean $150,000, wait now $120,000.
I voted Obama a couple weeks ago by mail-in absentee ballot. Give me free karma!
Don't worry, you will be getting that in the form of raised taxes and a weaker economy. Enjoy!

I celebrated today by downloading Fedora 9!

If it were not for sex offenders, it might well be that we'd be protecting the children from godless atheists or some other group. Democrats perhaps?
I have already been protecting my children from Democrats.
What is wrong with the E (I think) class addresses? They are, after all "reserved for future use".
I work for a large company, I won't mention its name but it initials are H. P., and our ethics code has really helped us!!!!!
I guess that "Elf bowl" tournament was a really bad idea!
You can have your land and seeds, I am going to start accumulating value stocks at all time lows.
I would look hard at real estate and seed farm stocks!

Aren't you forgetting Windows 95?
Patent Pending is the same as having a patent, right?

Possibly, but at least Biden gives the impression of understanding the constitution.
Yeah, what branch is the Vice president in...?
Biden didn't answer a damn question either. Same political "talking points" crap over and over and over again.......

Or you could go to the Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, TX and see dinosaur foot prints in rocks right next to human foot prints.
