Sounds like my desktop to a point. If XP is running, I'm playing a game. All serious work is done on Linux. Security does count and Windows has none so has been relegated to games only.
People are going to figure out that it's time to vote against ALL incumbents. Do this for 10 years and the Thundering Herd of Dumbass in Washington might figure out that they work for the voters. It would be a nice change at the City, County, and State levels too.
Wouldn't it be more fun to go to their house and either serve them with a civil suit for a $Million+ or just beat their computer into a cube with a sledge hammer?
Except that when they do the kids they take the prints in front of, and give the cards back to the parents to keep. This is only given back to the police to help find missing kids.
Amazing that this is happening in Washington, one of the most liberal states of all. Could the left want the police state they accused Bush of trying to build?
Years of pointing out the Orrin Hatch is the most evil Senator in Washington and all this time Biden was his evil twin? Of course now that the Dems are in charge everyone thought there was really going to be a change? *snerk, giggle, guffaw*
"But the reality is more complex, with different packages offering different subsets of the total range of Windows 7 features."
Isn't this just a way to admit that around 90% of the people don't care about most of these so called "features"? Bloat by any other name has the same stench!
Sounds to me like a way to get the Govt to collect money for an industry. In spite of how things appear with what the Thundering Herd of Dumbass in Washington is doing, it is not the Govt's job to ensure profits for any business or industry.
I have one thing to say about how good a Govt run business in the U. S. can be: AMTRAK! (money sewer on rails)
A win would have meant a Democracy in the South. The North was more than willing to trade bodies for time. They knew their propaganda machine would win in the end.
He lost because he didn't have the balls to try and win. He was so scared of Russia or China coming in he was afraid to really do anything that might work.
About as well as expected when dealing with dishonorable people. Something to keep in mind these days. If the other side can't be trusted, why bother signing anything?
No, "graduated response", is right out of the LBJ handbook on how to loose a war. His Rolling Thunder bombing campaign was advertised as a "graduated response" to NVA incursions in the South. From 65 to 69 it never did anything but increase the population of the Hanoi Hilton.
In Dec. 72 Nixon hit them with everything in the conventional inventory and had them screaming for peace in 11 days. Amazing what happens when they believe you will actually bomb them back to the stone age.
Guess what? They still don't have enough to override a Veto. That is a very lame excuse. They spending of the last two years has been voted and approved by a Dem controlled Congress who now wants to spend twice as much on crap that won't work.
Let's see if it lists every single earmark and who is responsible for it. That crap accounts for more than 20% of the waste and could be 40%. Then we will know who to target for defeat in the next election.
All spending bills have to originate in the House. Seems that we need to just vote against every incumbent for the next 5 or 6 elections.

A politician lied?
Why is anyone surprised?
You actually were dumb enough to expect different?
A group of politicians trying to figure out how to tax something else.
This is different from every other day how?

Not painful enough. But if his knees, elbows, wrists, and ankles got in the way of the server getting pounded?
Could that be the reason I don't have a cell phone? Besides the fact that I don't need a leash?

1984, Big Brother is calling.
Anyone who thinks Govts. around the world won't try to get and abuse this info is a fool!
It probably is, but only when under oath.
Then again it would be hard to enforce since it is almost impossible to find a member of Congress who knows how to recognize truth.
We did the fingerprint deal in the early 90s. They didn't do video or DNA then. The youngest of my three daughters is now 20.
:(
Damn I feel old!

Anyone else notice the bias around here?

How smart are the marketeers in Redmond?
Not very, smart people learn from their mistakes.

It didn't work last time, let's just throw more money at it.
Your Thundering Herd of Dumbass (Congress) at work as usual.
If Obama want's us to believe in his transparency hype they will list who is responsible for earmarks. Otherwise it's all just more crapola.
All spending bills originate in the House of Representatives. The last 2 years of a Dem controlled House led you believe what?!
New song, same as the old song.

You probably think the Huffington post, Daily KOS, Moveon, and MSNBC have some relation to the truth too. I feel sorry for your decendants.
