I'd like to see his voting record brought out on intelligence issues. Who voted for every cut in the intelligence budget before 9/11? Who blames Bush for the intelligence failures of Iraq? Looks like the same person to me.
What he says he wants to do about outsourcing is one thing, what the congresscritters let him do will be different. Remember that they are bought and paid for by special interests.
To late now, but for the next 4 elections, why don't we find amatures to send to Washington and the state legislatures? Look what the profesional politicians have done to us! Businessmen (small but succesful), Doctors, Teachers, any people that have actually done productive work. That does not include Lawyers, they write laws in such convoluted language that it gives them perpetual employment translating that crap, a conflict of interest.
Just think, common sense might not be dead yet! I wasn't sure if any of the Circuit Court judges could find their ass with both hands after some of the crap from the 9th. This is promising.
There is a learning curve. The amount of change in all forms of military technology in the last ten years is amazing. It takes time to integrate this into the tactics of each unit. What is actually needed and how to use it. This is not a simple process like in a video game, we are talking about real lives, the only battle expense that counts. You run into the age factor (old dog, new tricks) the younger people adapt faster.
A nice useful mid range card at a competitive price. I'll take 2, To start with and more later. We are starting to sell dual boot systems at the white box store where I'm a tech and sales type. We have sold a few in the last 2 months, some Fedora, some Suse, and one Mandrake. A nice mid-range card supported on Linux and Win XP would be perfect. Just make it a bit cheaper than the Radeon 9600, with similar performance and I'll be able to sell the hell out of them. One of the biggest complaints amongst Linux users is support for video and audio.
Medical data includes psyc problems, social disease and other things that make you a target for blackmail, job denial, etc. Employer will find reasons to can you if they want. Not having the problem in 20 years does not matter, you had it once, you are a risk. Insurance companies spend more time writing up reasons to deny coverage or claims than they do taking care of the premium payers.
The 10% on the far left and the 10% on the far right get all the press. Which leaves the 80% of us in middle (who should be running things) with no voice. To steal a term from the 70's, "We are the silent majority".
The radical left and the radical right are both, very wrong, and, very dangerous.
The major media, which is TV, the big newspapers, and the so called news magazines, have become garbage. What they put out is closer to Rumor, Gossip, and Bullshit, than it is to hard news. They don't come close to facts because they slant everything one way or the other, which involves distortion of the facts. The NYT used to be a respected paper, until they started printing editorials on the front page as news. The rest are no better.
This is the standard Alexa that is found on the first run of Ad-Aware on any computer I've touched. Same 11 + items with no detectable difference. They really do come from M$.
Why a fresh install of XP puts at least 11 instances of Alexa (known spyware) and 5 DSO exploits on a box? Try it, install XP and then Ad-Aware and Spybot. Run them both and see the results. No computer that comes into or is built at the white box store I work at, leaves without those two programs installed. Yesterdays updates put 3 instances of Alexa back in.
In many states you are removed from the rolls if you skip one Presedential election, or two elections in a row. This is to purge the records and keep up to date lists without dead people still being eligable.
When I go online in Windows at home (rare) I still use Netscape, even upgraded it to 7.1, because I'm a cantankerous old fart. At work or in Linux I always use Firefox, never liked IE, never thought Gates had the right to tell me what had to be on a box he didn't pay for, running on an electric bill he didn't pay. That feeling hasn't changed. The average user couldn't find a way to start it on my machine (XP). Hell, I used Lotus Smart suite for 8 years, just to avoid office, at less than half the price. Now? OO, no matter which OS is running, WinXP/RH9/Suse 9.1.
this could be a good thing. Two cases come to mind.
They should start at Los Alamos National Lab. Then in the usual five year cycle when another batch of floppies/CD's/hard drives goes missing they can identify the spy/moron that left them out without the usual witch hunt.
They could also tag congresscritters so we can keep track of how little time they actually spend on the job and vote them out or make them refund a percentage of pay for each committee meeting or vote missed.
If we thought our money was spent wisely, we wouldn't bitch about taxes.
My original SSN card says (in small print) "Not To Be Used For Idnetification". It was issued about 1970. If you look at my USN dogtag, issued in Feb 1976, guess what they used for my serial number? The government can't even follow their own rules, how can we be expected to?
You are a very emotional, reactionary type. Get a grip. If assholes would just set the phone to vibrate and leave the room to answer, this would not be nessesary. No big deal, just a complete lack of common manners and good judgement have caused the situation. The realization that others have rights seems to have escaped most cell phone users.

There is also a challenge by Dems in New Mexico to not require an ID to vote. Lets let illegal immigrants vote, that would be fair to citizens.
The Dems also have $70 million set aside for Nov. 3 lawsuits.

Thats why the Dems have set aside 70 million for Nov. 3rd lawsuits. It's the only chance they have.

Most industries are facing the same problems.

No network connected, and installed from a disk with SP1 on it already.

Or the Mars lander that crashed due to someone forgetting to convert between standard and metric.

Right off the M$ CD. Did a reformat/reinstall yesterday and a Brand new box last week, same results both times.

Are the double panes in my house.
A window in the case of your computer is to identify which part is smoking this time.
The every 4 year purges are to remove people that don't vote. Not for nefarious purposes. Use the right or loose it.
Thats why I build my own now. The white box store I work at will install whatever you ask for.

It's the thought that counts, thanks.

In the contest for fiction.
The truth gets modded as flamebait. Someday these self centered children will grow up.
