To "upgrade" an operating system so it doesn't work with your hardware and has less features than the one you have is ludicrous. And asking you to pay almost the price of a PC every couple of years adds insult to injury. I don't think it's hard to hold Microsoft accountable at all. While not everyone has the cash to "upgrade", being without a PC in todays world is becoming less and less an option, especially for those in school. And while Linux is still a good option for those with some skills, it still isn't user friendly to the masses.
The Privy Council Office. If any of you remember what a Privy is, that should explain it. For those who don't see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privy, bullet #4.
This will change when we allow the people to actually vote. Our "vote" is manipulated by "drawing" districts to favor a certain political group or by letting anonymous "electoral" voters decide who will win what elections. When our system was first designed it may have been necessary for this to decide elections. Today this is not the case. We have the means to count and register every vote for who it was meant for. Until we change our way of "voting", our vote will always be manipulated and our rights trampled on..
First of all, this is Massachusetts. The first communist state in American. We all know how a communist feels about a police state, they love them, and Massachusetts is no different. If a cop wants to search your house or vehicle and you don't want them to, the inevitable question they ask is "What do you have to hide?" I think the same applies here. What are they trying to hide? Then there is "But under the strict 'two-party notification' laws in Massachusetts, it's a crime to 'secretly record' audio communications unless 'all parties to such communication' have given their consent." The key here is the 'secretly record' part. This person was in the open, not hiding anything. Where did the "secret" part come in? This is only one thing. Intimidation by authority to conceal activity that was likely illegal.
As this is targeted at for the Ipad and doesn't seem to be open source and was used on the wii first (a Nintendo product), it looks like a ripoff of Johnny's work by the French for profit. Sounds like a company to me. Just saying.
No, I am not new here or to this. Nor do I subscribe to the CNN (Communist News Networks) line of thought that everything is Bushes fault (nor do I believe he was a saint). As for Europe and their agenda, US bashing is just fox and grapes revisited. Turning the US into Europe is just dragging us down to their level because they can't reach ours, so I see no need to play that game. I do think that our current government (both sides) have lost their purpose and have fallen to the will of their party's, not the will or well being of their constituents. If that means I'm paddling against the current river of thought, I'll just use a bigger paddle.
My guess is that this OMB Watch report is from another time-line or dimension. It certainly isn't from this one. This administration would make any suppressive government proud of it's polices.
That was the problem I ran into. I've been working with computers since the days of key punch. Being older that most of the new hires, my "training" has been all hands on. As such I couldn't get a job in todays market with out a college degree. I had the knowledge, but not the paper. Now I have completed college, but I am considered too old. HR types don't have any idea what to look for when hiring new IT employees and think that if they have 5 years of experience someone has done that training for them. It's a lose lose situation for many of those who expect to get a job in the IT field right out of school. If more of these companies did mentoring and internships maybe they would have better pools to chose from.
The Obama administration is comprised of far left group members that harbors and caters to terrorist groups. Is it any surprise that it would want to have unfettered access to the phone and any other information of it's enemies? Are they any different than the far right in wanting the same intelligence? That's what happens when you have a government that is for the governments interest ahead of the people it is supposed to represent. Any politician that serves one party isn't serving you.
First of all, if you own an Apple anything, what are you bitching about? Comes with the territory. You should have known this from the git-go. Want an easy fix? Get some JB weld or similar product, cote it with a lubricant, PAM works nice, fill the screw with the weld, insert a handle of some sort and pull, wait for it to dry. Instant screwdriver.
I used them (75 watt) in a homemade box lined with tinfoil at work for as long as I was working.
Wrap a frozen chicken breast or other type of meat and some veggies and put them in the box and you have a slow cooker.
It would be done to perfection by lunch. Made many a meal this way.
Depends on the Month as well as the year. I was born 1949 and by your figures (2010-1949) I should be 61. I was born in late December of 49 and my age is 60 at present, which it will be until my birthday in December.
Did you notice that it was on "the Onion" website? That's all "the Onion" is, a site with a comedy take on everything. Check out some of their vids and you will understand.
I lost mine for a week. It rained the whole week so I didn't get out to look for it. After the rain stopped I was in the duck pin and found it. It fell out of my pocket while I was feeding the ducks and geese and they stomped it into the mud. I wiped it down and wrapped it in tissue, placed it on a heating pad for a couple of days before I tried it. Other than some calcium residue it powered up and is still working a year later.
I do not disagree with you on this point. Your analogy with the salesman is how I see it as well. As a show pony he's great. As for him being any more than that, it's really hard to tell. Thus, what he says and what he does do not match.
Lets see now. Who filled their cabinet posts with lobbyist after vowing not to? Who campaigned with the transparency pledge then developed a health care plan behind closed doors and limited examination of the bill to 72 hours before the vote?? How did that stimulus bill work out for the middle class and poor of the country? What has this guy done to help this country? You don't need to believe what any news the media "filters". Listen to the mans own words and match what he says and what he does for yourself. They don't add up. What gives you reason to believe this or anything else he says? If he has a plan, why not present it now? Learn from the past. The spin you need to watch out for is coming from him.
Why were the FBI wanting to search his computer in the first place? The fact that they had to ask meant they didn't have a warrant. American law allows you to confront your accuser. That means a person or persons who told the FBI he had CP on his computer. Unless the FBI did an illegal search with some kind of stealth program to access his computer with out his knowledge or someone turned him in they wouldn't have been there in the first place.
It is never a good idea to let the authorities search any place or possession (like a car) when they ask. I don't care is I get pulled over for speeding or not having my seatbelt on I would never allow a search request. You give up a lot of rights by allowing it. Just the fact you can be arrested for doing what is right shows you can't expect fair an honest treatment form any law-enforcement agency.
It's a fact you can download anything with any name and it not be what you thought or expected to get. It's a fact that should you get something of that nature it's hard to get rid of without leaving a trace. It's a fact that you can not count on any government agency to do what is right. It's a fact that a PD doesn't have the same motivation a paid for lawyer has in getting you cleared of what ever you are charged with.
It is also a fact that there are those in the system who will do whats right. You just can't take the chance all of those people will be the ones working on your case. And of course there is those twelve jurors who, for the most part haven't got a clue, being manipulated by the court.
If you believe you are innocent of what ever charges hove been brought against you, pleading guilty can seal your fate. Should new evidence show up at a later date your "confession" could torpedo any chances of your getting out even if proved innocent.
My point is that neither he nor any other person is doing him/her self a favor by accepting a plea bargain. It's not much of a bargain for you. Just them.
I have a Samsung TV conneted to the net. The picture isn't as bad as you would think playing YouTube content and some other stuff. It can also play media from any computer on the home network, except from Linux boxes (windows only).
The BlueRay DVD players have the ability of streaming built in to them, and Samsungs is Netflix ready. It will play movies from Netfix if you have an account there.
Both. If I want to change things here or there it won't get done by bitching about it. In Iran's case they elected the government they got. Here we elected the government we got. If the election was rigged it's up to the citizens to fix the problem. The choices are just two. Put up or change. You may want to suggest leaving as an option, but that is the same as putting up with the problem. You are running to avoid dealing with it.
Maybe it's time to do something over there. If you don't like the government's deciding what you can and can't do, you have the option to change it. But you won't be able to do that on Twitter or any other on-line option. Physical action may be your only choice. As you have seen, the ones in power will stay there by any means necessary. It's your country, you solve the problem. That's what we did in America. If you don't want to act, you deserve what you get.

Which is why I have always maintained that lawyers and former lawyers should be forbidden to run for office.

Woops! Looks like I got some of my letters wrong. Still, it was done on a wii first, so still old tech on a new box.
Johnny Lee use to work for that company (EHCI), but he doesn't seem to be on the roll anymore. You are right, old tech in a new box.

You should finish reading the comment before making judgment. See the third, forth and fifth sentences.
