    I mean, it's about time that someone did something to prevent a virus outbreak before it occurs. But it's kind of sad that it took this long. Didn't the past 20 years of computer virus outbreaks give these guys SOME CLUE that they should have been thinking about security from the beginning?

  5. Re:Both the Senate and House of Reps.... on US Presidents on Presidential Power · · Score: 1

    They did not tell Bush to go after anyone. They gave them the authority to declare war if he felt it was needed. If he did, then he had to justify going to war to congress.

    So, what you're saying is that congress delivered this message to President Bush "We will vote to authorize you to decide if the US needs to take military action. If so, we will authorize funding. But you need to come back to us and justify it."

    Bullshit. Such a resolution would be unnecessary. The President is the Commander In Chief of the military. He can deploy them for action without approval from anyone, he only needs approval from Congress for deployments lasting longer than 60 days.

  6. Re:A mortgage payment!!!???? on Affordable Modern Graphics Cards · · Score: 1

    Like I said, Location, Location, Location.

    If the demand for real estate is lower, so are mortgage rates.

    If people are buying houses at a regular rate, banks don't need to lower rates as quickly.

  7. Sorry to nitpick, but on Submit and Moderate Questions for Bush and Kerry · · Score: 1

    I would like to hear from Mr. Kerry his direct response to allegations that he has broken multiple gun control laws and at least one that never made it to law (but he supported) when accepting an auto loading (or, in his words, "rapid fire") shotgun while on the campaign trail.

    In Sarah Brady's autobiography she detailed the time when she bought a shotgun for her son. This is CLEARLY illegal. You're looking at no less than 5 years of mandatory Federal prison time if you buy a firearm for someone who is not eligible.

    Rosie O'Donnell has an armed guard to protect her and her children, even though she has suppored a ban on handguns for the rest of us.

    Hypocrisy on the issue of Guns is nothing new from the left.

    From Mr. Bush, I would like to know if he has a permit for the revolver he keeps in the oval office.

    According to the source you linked...

    "The magazine quoted a visitor who had been shown the gun, which is kept in a small study off the Oval Office where Bush displays memorabilia. It is the same room where former President Clinton had some of his encounters with former intern Monica Lewinsky."

    Not exactly IN the Oval Office, but close enough.

    More to the point, I would guess that any sitting President would be exempt from the DC gun ban because technically he is "the highest law enforcement" officer in the nation.

    DC's gun ban does not apply to Law Enforcement, otherwise Cops, FBI, Secret Service, and the like would all have to go about the Capital naked.

    From Mr. Bush I would like to know why he claims to support tougher gun control legislation, but then doesn't follow through with action.

    When has he publically declared support for tougher gun control? Bush has his office, in large part, due to the voters of the NRA. When an election is this close, you don't piss off your base. End of story.

  8. $100 is my price point on Affordable Modern Graphics Cards · · Score: 2, Informative

    For just about any single piece of hardware.

    I'll go a bit over that if I need to, but that's my target price range.

    I paid $109 for my DVD Burner. I paid like $208 for my Processor + Mobo(In my mind about $104 for each of them). I paid about $150 for my HDD.

    I got my GeForce 4MX for about $25. I'll probably be getting a new video card some time next year, but whatever I can get in the $100 range is what I'll get. These things depreciate so rapidly, I can't justify spending $200 for a video card.

    Location, Location, Location.

    I'm from Pittsburgh, in a nice middle-class suburb you can get houses for under $60k.

    If you happen to catch mortgage rates at a low point and you have a decent downpayment, $500 per month on a nice house is not out of the question.

    (by the way, doesn't the assault weapon ban being lifted mean that they now have fully automatic assault rifles?)

    No.

    The Clinton Gun Ban did nothing to restrict access to fully automatic firearms. It was only about restricting guns that looked menacing.

    Those have been strictly controlled for 70 years.

  15. Re:OT: Militia on Kazaa Loses P2P Crown To Edonkey · · Score: 1

    I can see no reason why woman cannot serve in this regard.

    Women are not subject to the draft. Women are not eligible to take infantry positions in the armed forces. That is the one area that people "forget" about when discussions of equal rights arise.

    Equal work for equal pay is all well and good(and it's only fair), but nobody wants equal danger.
