I don't see how this is a Troll, since all I have done is point out that President Obama has made some serious mistakes in his public relations recently, and that a person in his position is supposed to have staff to help them with things like this. If that makes me a Troll then I accept that, I mean obviously it is a heinous act to say anything negative about the President.. or should I say THIS President. I'll be under my bridge if you need me.
By all accounts the Queen is actually into gadgets. She even has a Wii. That aside he could have gotten her something a bit more thoughtful. Isn't he supposed to have people that do this kind of thing for him... wait these are probably the same people that let him do candid appearances; you know where he jokes about the global economic crisis, and references the physically challenged in an inappropriate way.
No, but I would wager they are betting they would sell more games at $70. Truthfully though I haven't seen any games on the PS3 that make me want to drop the money for it.I have a Wii and a 360 and they pretty much cover my console needs.
Sure there is no doubt that is correct, but it is about as likely to happen as Playboy Bunnies massaging my feet. Nuclear weapons are here to stay until we develop something even more destructive; or until Superman throws them into the Sun....
OK lets think about this. Craigslist is a community site, by and large moderated/regulated by the community. I'm sure you are familiar with the concept. Craigslist also provides links and tools for reporting human trafficking and abuse of minors.
Now think about how many listings and how many cities they have. When you come up with a reasonable way to police that let us know. Also what money are they making off of these alledged posts? Before you point out that they charge money to post to the erotic services section, you should check where the money is going.

Just because it is legal does not mean your partner would approve. Take parts of Nevada where prostitution is legal. My wife would not be happy if I flew out there and used their services.
I have always found it highly questionable that something one can give away for free should be illegal to sell.. (free is relative; everyone pays for it somehow) If they regulated it (and taxed the hell out of it) it would do away with some thugs who want to be big time pimps, and through health regulations it could help reduce the spread of STD's. Just to go ahead and answer the inevitable, no it will not fix everything and there will always be those that operate outside of an established/legal system.
A P2P program should not be installed on any system that has sensitive information. By doing so you are not just opening up the possibility of accidentally sharing those files, but you also open yourself up to a slew of viruses which could further compromise the system. Any system that has this kind of information should be FOUO (for official use only).
Exactly until they people handling the sensitive or classified material learn how to handle it with the care it needs we will keep seeing things like this. I mean how many times a week do we see something about a lost or stolen laptop or device that contained sensitive information. The issue (as per normal) is the USERS
Exactly, didn't we have an article recently on how we aren't lawyers.. The cost of talking to a lawyer could be minimal in comparison to the potential damage of a situation like this.
How do you figure. Just because I have a fast machine, does not mean it is my only machine, nor the only machine I work with. I have a machine that is about 6 or 7 yrs old run Xp Pro on it, Win7 would not work on it, and this is just the beta you are referring to, they recently released a list full of stuff/crap that is going to be in the release version THAT is the bloat I am talking about. Not the BETA.
Have the PFY get the van and a roll of carpet; no one blackmails a Bastard...
Seriously though Make copies of everything, talk with a lawyer. Possibly try and gather evidence or reliable witnesses.
Give me a break It's not like the requirements for Vista 64 Ultimate are unattainable by mere mortals. I built it for gaming, it's less than a year old and cost under $900. The fact that I spent money to buy new hardware does not take away my right to bitch about a bloated OS.
I generally run XP pro at work, but on one of my home computers I have Vista Ultimate 64, I tried the beta of Win7 up until about last week. To my eye it doesn't seem to be all that different than Vista 64. I was really hoping they'd make a slimmer OS with less bloat.
I have a eee701
I've found this to be a handy resource

Mostly I run Xandros on mine, just for convenience. I do however have several distros on thumb drives in case I feel like a change.
Just curious because I'm used to people complaining about Vista and how they like XP, what about XP do you not like? Again just curious.
I guess you can compare it to a movie if you like. I however am comparing current video games to older ones. We expect/hope to only spend a few hours in a theater watching a movie,generally what I expect for $10. For me if a game can be beat in a few days with casual play it was not worth my $60. Yes I can play it again, and if it has multi player modes that introduces new elements but online play is not an excuse for lack of content. Video Games are not movies no matter what they want to think (look at the length of some cut scenes), they are an interactive experience. Comparing titles lets say the New Prince of Persia to oh any of them on the PS2, my invested time in the old one was greater. The graphics were not as shiny but the game play was better. Call me crazy but that is what I look for in a game.
That seems to be my biggest hang up with the "next gen" console games; the production value is very high and timely they look great but after 2 days of leisurely game play the game is over.
I bought a PSP right after they came out, I was traveling a lot at the time. I kept waiting for some decent games to come out on it, but there was this period that all they did was publish movies or shows for it. By the time they actually started making some decent games(most rehashed from the PS2 or PS1) I was over it.

What's your Zombie action plan?
At least with the first you usually get a happy ending.
I would really be surprised if the bat managed to hold on to the tank after the sudden acceleration.

Nuclear weapons are not meant to "win". They are meant to ensure everyone loses. That in and of itself is the deterrent to using nuclear weapons.
check your state laws before you think that applies to all states.

You're not paying her for sex, you're paying her to leave after sex.
