  1. Re:I am glad I read the review on Review: Behind Enemy Lines · · Score: 0

    The choppers in the rescue scene appear to be blackhawks. In the original called off rescue, they were flying is what looked like a combination helicopter/c130 hercules.

    >>To make sure Nader gets his 5% and to be a part >>of the new permanent reform party that this >>country desperatly needs.

    Hahahahah, thats a good one. Just like the other permanent "reform" party headed by Ross Perot. People are voting for the person not the party. If Nader was not on the Green Pary ballot noone would give a rats ass about it just like noone has given a rats ass about it before now.

    Speaking of Nader, would someone please explain to me what the big deal is about him? Why is everyone going lala over him? As far as I can tell he is still for big government.

  15. Re:You mean *your* communication skills. on H1B Tech Visa Workers Being Deported From U.S. · · Score: 1

    I think we should change "Screw the immigrants because they don't speak English" to "Screw the immigrants because they don't speak American"

    Just because you may be fluent in English, does not mean you will be fluent in American English. For example, many of those who speak the Queens English use many different words and spellings than do those of us using American English.

    If those in the Asian economies learn my job better than me, it won't do them a hill of beans (Is this proper English? Does it make me sound uneducated?) if my Congressman writes a law to keep them out.

    From a philosophical perspective I don't have a problem with non-US nationals working here in the States, after all one of my best friends is a Canadian. From a political and US-centric perspective I believe we need to take care of our own people first. Once we have reduced the labor pool through various means such as technical training and corporate incentives, then let in the outsiders. Until then, America for the Americans ;)

  16. Re:Good on H1B Tech Visa Workers Being Deported From U.S. · · Score: 1

    Hell Yeah!!!

    If there is such a shortage in the workforce why is it so difficult to find a job for many people. Personally I think the workforce shortage is a scare tactic so that they can bring more CHEAP labor into the U.S.

    Interesting. Do you find it offensive that non-Christian churches don't have to pay taxes?

    The aetheists that I know who rant and rave over religious institutions not being taxed also rant and rave about why separation of Church and State is a good thing. You can't have it both ways you know.

    thanks, that makes sense. after posting my reply i decided to do some actual reading. www.paradyne.com had some good papers under product info so i was able to learn about splitters and such.

    what would it mean if the Telco says no facilities to the CLEC? in my mind if i can get POTS to the CLEC i should be able to get DSL. i know my line is good because Ma Bell is able to give me DSL to via the Bell line
