MS certainly made strides on search in vista and extended that into Windows 7. I'm in front line tech support and the search actually works. Instead of walking customers through several steps I just have them search for it. Search brings it right down to their comfort level. A new file system would be nice but I'm usually pretty organized so it's not a big issue.
He was fired because he didn't know when to shut up. Only a religious zealot would be fool enough to try and sell intelligent design in a room full of rocket scientists.
They assume that I'd actually want to own any of their DVD's. Does anyone still buy DVD's? F@$ck the WB. They're a dinosaur and dino's are supposed to be extinct. Too late to update your business model now.
If you are incompitent of course you can't be a good judge of leadership. I don't believe that has anything to do with the failure of the democratic process. Voter apathy, laziness, greed and corruption are very good reasons why the democratic process has failed (at least in the USA ymmv). What's the average voter turnout of a presidential election, reps or senate? Compare that to say 50 years ago. I don't know the numbers but I'll bet they are consistently getting lower. The voters are getting lazy and we'd rather play our Xbox than pay attention to who is holding the reins of power. We've let corporate interests and big money dictate who has power. Look at the presidential race as a perfect example. Hell thhat far right wacko santorum couldn't even get himself on the ballot in most of Ohio because he didn't have an organization already set up. He's been running on a shoestring budget and the only reason he has any money is because the far right is so afraid of a Mormon being elected president. I'm pretty sure Mitt, Newt and Ron didn't have trouble getting themselves on the ballot because they have money. That's my 2$.
The nanny state strikes back. Seriously though this could be a good idea. Look what Blackwater did to the citizens of Iraq (among other victims). I'm sure some would say that Blackwater was a quasi millitary outfit but really there is a slim line between private millitary and private police. Residents of the UK it's time to rise up and take your country back. Residents of the USA, don't think that couldn't happen here just because we own more guns.
I want reviews from real people, specs, facts and comparison shopping when I shop online. All of my purchases are thoroughly researched and vetted for at least 3-4 weeks before I plunk my money down(big purchase anyway). If I really wanted to see it in great detail and touch it (feel it) I'd go to a retail store. I dunno maybe this will catch on with the emotional buying crowd but if I'm buying something online this is a big waste.
My computer has all of those things and more. Why do I need to have some console attached to my tv for gaming. From Steam's perspective I suppose it makes sense. They are already a pretty big player in the gaming community so why not take a piece of Sony and Microsoft's action. I'm kind of interested to see if they can make a go of it though.
Why does Nasa need to retrieve samples? We already have tools on Mars that can analyze samples (I'm sure there are some limitations). Aside from the glory of returning rocks from Mars(over rated imho) what scientific purpose does the preposed mission fulfill? How much do they expect it would cost? Lets face it we all are underwriting the cost of what Nasa does so it better be worth it. I'm a skeptic so unless you come at me with some hard facts chances are that Mars can keep it's rocks for now.
You should tell that to the people out in western Pennsylvania that are consistently having their well water polluted. People have been trying for months to get the oil companies to clean up their mess to no avail. The "OIL" that comes from fracking (or any source) isn't ready to be used in cars etc when it comes from the ground. It has to be refined. Most of our domestic refineries have been closing due to cheaper costs overseas. Maybe you didn't know that only 2 of the highest producing refineries (per wikipedia) are located in the United States. And those two are producing the lowest volume of refined oil. So now you can see why that oil takes a while to get to market.
Just bite the bullet and let enery costs rise. They will anyway, and not trying to stop it will cause a slow and steady rise, which has the best chances of stimulating alternative sources while not causing sudden market crashes, while leaving you the strategic reserves for emergencies.
I sort of agree with your statement however in the short term if we release oil in small increments it will help the economy. I just don't see innovation through necessity happening here. At least not in America. We're too backward a country to lead in alternative fuels just yet.
My local landfill has been doing that for a few years now. It's a good idea and all landfills should be doing. All of that methane they capture used to be released to the atmosphere.
The problem with adding natural gas (or the oil they get from fracking) is that it does nothing to change the energy prices we are paying right now. You have to factor in how much time it takes to refine anything you get. I've heard one expert say it can take at least 5-7 years to get to market. Demand is always an issue too. We need to release some of the strategic reserves to drive down the cost. It is an election year so who knows when he will do it.
Simple solution = Go to the cloud. LOL seriously why rely on something like pushing email to multiple devices when you can just log into your web mail site and get it there? Sometimes people just make things too difficult.
Of course Windows has user and admin account types.
That's great if you get a parent that can understand the difference and enforce it. I was talking to my wife yesterday about the FCC wanting to enlist ISP's in the fight against various threats (bot networks, trojans etc). They really need to focus on end user education instead. Sure it's great for your ISP to tell you that you have a bot or some other threat on your computer but the damage is already done so what's the point in that. The people I talk to at work already know they have some kind of infection that needs to be cleaned.
That depends on quality and quantity. Are we talking about simple mexi brick weed or some funky shit from Amsterday or BC? Are we talking about ounces or pounds? And the most important question is just how much of the police force is smoking it?
Republicans CLAIM that they are for smaller government actually, they just want THEIR rules in place, rather the ones the Democrats want.
And they are just as bad as the democrats. If both parties don't start working together eventually the american people will kick all the lazy bastards in congress out.
That government contract would sweeten the price if they sell the company now. An established company like Samsung (for example) could end up as the defacto supplier of Android phones to the federal government. That's gotta be worth some bucks.

Stealing is stealing. Finders keepers is a poor excuse for a total lack of character.
While I agree with your post it IS kind of hard to speak of character when you're posting as AC.

Laugh my MF ass off. You sir are going to burn in hell for that.
If we know how many of those cards actually were used before they were all shut down I'll bet they got more that 12.00 per card.
Even California causes cancer to Californians.

BASEJUMP. And brass balls. Don't forget the brass balls because you'll never make it to the top without them. Good luck.

It also pollutes less

AT&T is run by a bunch of greedy bastards and to expect anything different is foolish. Seriously. The FCC needs to man up and put them in their place.

LMAO back to the original sin (don't eat the Apple). That'll twist your head a bit.

No mod points but seriously funny^^^^^^^^^ +1
What's the ROI on that, you think?
