Then why don't they have a tier system of police work?
You have a guy in the office, not a gun-carrying/badge-waving cop...but a researcher. Someone that digs through the evidence, searches on the web to come up with possible solutions to cases then turn them over to the gun-carrying/badge-waving guys to go out and make an arrest or search warrent or other "cop-doings".
Why does it FUCKING MATTER? Jesus Christ I'm so sick of you idiots focusing on this minute crap that doesn't matter one iota.
I don't care if he broke every rule of the debate he aggreed too...ok? How's that? I don't care if he walked out there with a fucking Playboy under his arm and a 6 pack of beer. What counts is what he had to say and how he is going to run the country!
If this is the only thing you idiots can fault him for then you REALLY need to re-think your strategy on getting party-boy Bush back in the White House.
Yes, I do put my trust in CBS and the New York Times...why? Because of the fact that they were up front when they got something wrong (well, CBS drug their heels admitting this...but they DID).
They came out and said they were wrong. They also have MILLIONS of people watching every step they make, so of course, when something like this happens they get caught and they fix the problem. Now, do you really really think the New York Times is going to let something like that happen again if they can help it? Don't you think they got a bloody nose because of that and they don't want another one? Don't you think they are going to go out of their way now to make sure it doesn't repeat?
I do.
Also, as a side note, I don't even have a TV and get my news from the Net and newspapers so I only read about CBS's fiasco.
Everyone is in agreement that it was a PEN now...I can't help it if the idiot Drudge wants to keep up his reputation as the National Enquirer of the net.
I've seen the video...over and over...IT'S A PEN! You can even see when he puts the top of the pen on the back of it to get ready to write.
And yes, according to the rules, they could bring PENS out there with them.
Again, in case you didn't get it...it's a PEN!
Now, get back to real issues like 1000's dying every day in Iraq, the economy in the crapper and oil prices sky-high etc etc etc...but no, we have to focus on this stupid STUPID PEN!
Also, I'm voting for Kerry not because what he stands for or his policies...I'm voting for him because he's NOT BUSH. That's right, I'd rather take an unknown over what Bush has done so far! Hell, I'd vote for Hillary before I'd vote for Bush again (yes, I voted for him in 2000).
Read further down about this...it's already been said by everyone it was a pen he was getting, not a piece of paper.
Also, the whole story is about KERRY doing this, not Bush. And yes, Bush had a typewritten sheet on his podium...so did Kerry. That was allowed by the rules...they just couldn't bring anything out with them when they walked out there, it had to be already on the podium per the rules.
And while we're at it...what the FUCK does any of this have ANYTHING to do with who we want to be President?
Whoa, not so fast. That's not exactly the cadillac of X86 computers. Try buying a dual-processor Opteron with a fast video card, a DVD burner, liquid cooling, an OS (XP Pro costs quite a pretty penny to buy... unless you're running a Linux system), a LCD monitor, a high-end logitech mouse and keyboard, etc, etc.
True, I didn't compare apples to apples and having a dual Opteron would be more fair...
But the OS is Linux...so that didn't cost anything, and I didn't include any monitors at all because the 3000 price for the G5 doesn't include a monitor. And of course, good keyboard and mice are not that expensive anymore.
But I hear where you're coming from...but still, I could build a system for under a Grand that would be considered "top of the line" (again, sans monitor).
Cause I"m sitting here on a AMD 2500+ Barton with 1 gig of RAM, 120 Gig HD, Geforce Video, DVD/CDROM burner all for around $600.
Built it myself. Sure, it's not a dual processor with DVD burner...but it's fast and stable.
But I will say that Apple has been consistant with their prices...their top of the line machines have always been around the 3000 mark. But at the moment they only have one machine that's below 1000, and that's with very little RAM.
Do NOT get me wrong, I LOVE Macs...but you do have to pay a premium to use them and yeah, I think it's worth it. I just can't afford it...yes, I'm poor.
Um...RTFA...he was talking about his Windows experience...and yeah, he is a Windows user that used MacOSX for a month...hence the name of this article and the whole fricken point...
Why do you think FoxNews is dwarfing all of the Liberal spewers in ratings?
Source please...where are you getting this? They are the most popular news? over CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC?
If you make this statement, please include links to the source of this...or else one could say:
"FoxNews has admitted to being funded by the Republican party and that they are going to end their broadcasting and cease operations next Friday due to this scandel..."
See, without a source I could make things up too...not saying that is what you're doing, but please be helpfull to others here.
This is from "wow, someone emailed a rumor to me, must be true! I'll print a story about it" Drudge?
The guy has no credibility at all and isn't even a journalist...just some shmoe that started a web site. He's not someone people should get they're news from, unless you like it for the entertainment value.
bascally Counterstrike bought up to better graphics and physics model...but same gameplay.
So you pay today...get CS: Source right now to play and then HL2 when it comes out.
If you're getting HL2 for multiplayer anyway, CS:Source is the only one available at the moment...but others will come along later.
It's not a bad deal really, but of course there will be coming out of the woodworks saying "Valve lied to us! That sucks! I'm not buying that! blah blah blah".
It comes down to if you want to play it, buy it and fricken play it. If not, STFU already.
It's like what's next...they're going to outlaw all forms of sex there too to "protect the children".
Growing up, always thought that Australia was this free wheeling, laid back country...but they seem more uptight and puritan than the US (Janet Jackson's evil nipple not withstanding).
Is it really that bad "down there"? (decypher "down under" any way you want)
It's not that...it's that the FCC didn't tell anyone they were going to do this...like Congress.
The FCC is again just acting like they have no one overseeing what they're doing...and they had to be reminded that they do indeed have people watching what they're doing.
Funding for the FCC needs to be cut WAY back itself...they are tending to stick their noses where it just doesn't belong...at all. But that's another matter.
No, this was many moons ago. I left the area (born and raised in Gloucester) in 1982. Lived in Chicago for quite a while before ending up over here in Michigan.
I just went over to howardstern.com and WHAM right on the very front page is an ad for...if you guessed Sirius you'd be wrong! Nope, it had an ad for Xm radio!
"People don't like having to learn a new operating system, especially if it is forced upon them."
This is true, but it's not really that hard to learn something new. If an employee can't learn a new system, then how is that employee really helping out the company?
The printing company where I used to work everyone worked on Linotype/Hell Combi machines...big huge stations that used 9-track and disk-pack storage to assemble and edit pages and photos. This was around 1989. They hired me to bring them into the Macintosh era with cheaper computers, MUCH less space and a quicker turn-around on the work we got it.
But if they had listened to the employees bitching and moaning about learning a whole new system (and we're talking WHOLE new system...not something relativly minor like switching from Office to OpenOffice compared to going from a Combi to a Mac) they would STILL be using those old machines...and be out of business/jobs.
They guy that ran the place was very diplomatic about the whole thing. He had worked with these guys for years...but he was subtle on how he got them to change their views. Never once was he a hard-ass that said "learn it or find another place to work" etc etc. Such as when they would pull him aside to complain once more about switching to Macs he would say something like "sorry, can't talk, have a whole stack of resumes on my desk! It's amazing how many I get now that we're going to Macs".
The bitching and unrest settled down rather quickly...and the end result was all the workers went to the new Macs, shifted their work flow and everything worked out fine in the end. This was when Quebecor Printing was still an innovative company to be reckoned with, before the wienies at World Color came on-board and it became Quebecor World.

Just a thought...and not, not the CSI guys.
But it's not a simple matter of typing in someones name and it comes up "he was killed in a hit-and-run , hit F5 to solve the case".
The cops USE Google, but they still have to be the ones that put 2 and 2 together to get a conclusion.
Thanks!
Though when listing a source, perhaps one at "oreilly-sucks.com" should be kinda left off...credibility and all that kinda thing...
Apparently YOU didn't get it.

with Geforce Video? hahaha. We're comparing modern computers here. If I wanted a Geforce I'd pick one out of the trash.
Gee, can't understand why you would have wanted to post this as an anonymous coward...

that you cue up the Big-Top Circus music...the one where all the clowns run around in a panic! But instead of clowns they're MS techs.
No, it's using the "Source" engine.

Bah...they keep saying "He's busy sir"
Oh sure...like HE'S so busy.
The president oversees what the FCC does. The FCC is part of the executive branch. Don't like this? Tell it to the president.
Fine, I will!
Er....what's the President's phone number again?
It's not that...it's that the FCC didn't tell anyone they were going to do this...like Congress.

This is more proof that the Korean Peninsula is a real real goofy and wacky place!

yes, they've changed it now...
