I leave Boston all the time. The other cities i frequent are DC and NYC. I usually fly there. I have not seen a walmart in either city (though i cant say there arent any). I am sure walmarts are big outside the cites in the boonies, but if you dont own a car and live in Boston, you arent eve going to see a walmart.
look at that map again. None of those stores are in boston or even in the greater boston area. none are accessable on the T. So , yes, I have never seen a walmart since there are none in my area at all. Secondly, to drive west on the mass pike one must own a car. Have you tried driving or parking in boston? the traffic sucks and in order to have a guranteed spot you have to pay something like $100 a month. Some places like brookline have no overnight parking on the street.
what if it is 10pm on a Friday and you have chick over. Would you rather borwse movies from the sofa and click download, wait a few minutes then click play or get in a car, find an open store, find your movie, pay for it , drive home, open packaging , insert DVD then finally click play movie?
I live in boston, we dont have walmarts here. Heck, I've never even seen one before. Can you really get new release DVDs for $5? I think there is the added advantage of the following which would make it better than a DVD: 1. you get it instantly 2. you can actually put it on your ipod 3. you can put several on your ipod
while 2 and 3 are sort of nice to have, 1 is a killer app. Imagine being able to download instantly from a huge selection of movies which you can browse by reading descriptions and watching trailers.
Now, if they could make it like netflix (cap it to 2 movies a week and remove the ability to put it on your ipod), they would make even more money.
" Our country now engages in limited amounts of secret arrests, torture and spying on its citizenry. The last item may not even be limited. We build "detention centers" around the world and fill them with kidnapped foreign nationals. The scariest thing to me is that these crimes are never made public until revealed by the media. The media has very scant access to government secrets, so we can't know what deeper more malicious crimes are being committed at the moment. Once you've read about MK-ULTRA it's hard to imagine something our government won't do when not overseen by the public. So the grandparent poster is correct. We are not yet a police state, but we're well on our way."
Have you noticed that everything you said in that sentence is purely speculation? you believe what you choose to believe and then cover that up with the fig leaf of saying it is a secret so you have no proof. All you say is trust me this is all true. It is really happening but i have no proof. Show me proof this stuff and i will agree with you. Look at your list: Torture at gitmo: the allegations of al-queda prisioners Secret prions: even the EU officials say these arent real (not the EU European comission which says they are) spying on its citizenry: you mean international phone calls? the 2nd usa today story has been discredited.
"so we can't know what deeper more malicious crimes are being committed at the moment"
or there could be nothing. it cuts both ways you know. For all i know you are a psycho killer. we cant know what crimes you are currently commiting.
Can anyone tell me why I see this same post again and again in almost every article about the US? Is this a subtle, very effective troll template or an ad? It is often higly modded (I browse at 5) and the text is almost identical, always ending with a plug on gold and silver. There isn't a URL selling gold or silver which makes this weird.
" it is a rich country, it is not (yet) a police state,"
I am going to hazard a guess that the person who stuck "ye"t in there has lived his or her entire life in a free western country and has little or no understanding of what a police state really is. All this person knows is 1. bush bad , 2. bad is police state, therefore bush = police state. This reminds me of every college kid who knows 1. bad 2. bad is nazi, therefore if you disagree with me you are a nazi.
Idiotic use of extreme terms like this just erodes any meaning they may have. Its is about as effective in conveying meaning as the F-word if you use it as almost every other word.
"The piece goes on to say that they're ramping up DS production to meet command, and that connectivity with the DS will be a major selling point for the console when it releases."
anyone else having difficulty understanding this. I am going to assume it meant "demand". Thats quite a typo. Heck you even spelled "command" right.
right becasue signing your own will verify the authenticity of your site. How many phising sites use real certs ? only one i know of. how many self sign? tons.
you forgot UMD player except this UMD will not be compatible with the PSP umd and will require you to install a rootkit on your desktop to get online and update your subscription to ATRAC unlimited in the sony music store
sounds like someone just took Cs101 this summer. Go back and read your book, when you have public key cryptography, the virus can encrypt the files with a public key , basically encrtypt it like an email intended for the virus writer. Like the email, it cant be decrypted without the private key.
the MITM attack is only good when you are just establishing a ring of trust. I have no idea how this is even relavant.

Actually, i asked because having never been to a walmart, i didnt know they had DVDs for $5.
look at what i wrote :
"I live in boston, we dont have walmarts here. Heck, I've never even seen one before. Can you really get new release DVDs for $5?"
I dont see the reason for insults. If you really think i am a north east liberal faux intellectual, look at my signature.

it will use the same tech as the ipod and itunes already use for TV which do not have any warnings like that.

considering you are free to see the post and reply and you are included in "someone", i dont think that is the case.

yay! capitalism! good.
because people who dont understand what "Final" in final fantasy means keep asking the same thing
