  1. Re:You'd be surprised on Obama Administration Withholds FoIA Requests More Often Than Bush's · · Score: 2

    You're full of it. They're pissed because Obama said one thing and is doing the opposite. And that most of the Bush policies are still in place. To them, I can only say, "Told you so". Many of us fully expected this. And your so called "conservatives" are just as socialist as anybody, what with all the welfare they give their corporate pals.

    They won't be shooting at protesters in the US anytime soon...

    What the hell are you talking about?? They already have! Oh.. you mean with a drone... nevermind..

    Senate committee hearings are streamed live on their respective websites, and are archived shortly thereafter.

    That's very good to hear and is perfectly sufficient. You don't need a bunch a screaming going on in the background. Just want access to proceedings. If it was up to me I'd also setup cameras in the hallways. There's no small amount of wheeling and dealing going on there too. Giving up their privacy is the price they should have to pay for their authority. I think that's a fair deal.

    Yeah, you have to turn off auto-play completely. Kind of a pain in Vista where you have to go through every little item. The registry hack seems inconsistent. First thing everyone should when they buy one is to remove that U3 crap, it's all malware, and completely format it. Same with external USB hard drives. And the thing is you need to install an anti virus to check the damn things. Simply opening a window can nail you.. because it does access files..

    Well, I for one, do not want to be accused of accelerating climate change and continental drift.

    Yeah maybe.. It was said by an Irishman. I really doubt he was serious. In fact, I think he was just reading a quote. I think you people should lighten up a bit.

    don't use the same password on your email as anything else, don't use the same password on finance stuff and anything else, don't download anything you aren't 100% about, don't trust any links in email. That's all you need to do.

    Couple more things. Never let anybody put their infected USB stick into your machine. These things are worse than floppies, and with no real write protection. I've found viruses on cameras cards too.

    No. I'm one of those who believe we should kick down the doors... just as soon as the commercial comes on.

    Back on topic - a small electric vehicle with responsive brakes and steering and maximum torque available from zero up has the potential to be a lot of fun - even in traffic.

    20 minute commute? What metropolitan area to you live in? Everyone I know drives for at least an hour, sometimes up to 2 hours each way in traffic.

    Yeah, but this commute is only three blocks long.

    Hardly any botnets become big.

    They don't have to become big once they reach their target. Too big attracts unwanted attention.. Expect more focus and a more "subtle" approach.

    The first bit of info you will glean, even without seeing their profile, is that they are very lonely and/or some kind of pervert, or a fellow agent.. or all three. Let's get them to "shoot" at each other..

    Gee, crude oil is natural too. Why did everybody get so pissed off about Exxon Valdez? Natural concentrations aren't so natural when you're done with it. So much company propaganda I'm hearing.

    ...so instead we use it as a guide for governance.

    So the speed limits are just a suggestion then? Gliding through the stop is ok? Your "guide" there is what is eating away at the bill of rights right now. See what's happened to the the 1st and 4th amendments over the last forty years. People haven't changed much in 10,000 years, much less in a mere 220. Doing things faster doesn't justify cutting corners.
