Seriously, I would not be surprised if a law is passed that makes it illegal NOT to keep X years of emails backed up. Damn the cost to private industry, the republican-majority gov't needs to spy on it's people!
Would you say the same about people who do not embrace the automobile or electricity? What about those who do not wish for medical science and instead pray their disease away?
If, as leader of the USA, he does not know how to delegate authority as you describe, he needs to step down. Period. Plus, doing what you think is right because you think it is right is NOT a proper attribute for a leader of a republic. The leader represents his nation and acts on that nation's behalf.
You think he choked on the pretzle and fell off the segway and bicycle as part of a PR scam? You think it is good that he ignored the majority opinion that invading Iraq was a huge mistake?
Any positive aspects of this man are soundly trumped by his inability to perform his job. Perhaps if he were running a hot dog shack I could give him a break...but not when he is President.
You don't. You assume they are wrong because your expected result: overwhelming love for George W. Bush, has not come to pass.
Besides, anyone who argues Democrat vs. Republican is part of the problem to begin with.
Bush is an idiot. He can't even speak well. He is WAY EASY TO MAKE FUN OF. Deal with it. You elected a clumsy, stuttering prick who couldn't make money in oil or running a sports team! Sounds like a real winner.
He 'represents' me. I've written several thoughtful letters pointing out that his crusade against videogames is misguided and that the 'results' he attributes to videogame violence is much more easily explained as a degradation of parenting.
I always get a form letter.
My last letter said I was going to vote against him no matter what the other candidate was.
I see somebody recently learned an important life lesson about opinions. Like most simple folk, he has forgotten that other people have already learned that lesson.
'Bland' may be subjective in a literal sense, but when you are considering the entire set of human-produced music, it is quite simple to make a distinction that everyone can agree with.
Children are really expensive these days. Everything in general is expensive, then add on the over-wrought hype about 'child safety' and the expensive programs started to increase 'child safety' through taxes...
And people can either have a life or raise children. Can't have both any more.
But it is the homogenized music which suffers!

Check what these kids are pirating...it is all mainstream poppy shit that they want because advertisments, MTV and their MTV advertiement watching peers all say you should like it.
If we keep pirating and make music distribution less profitable, perhaps that bland BS will go away.
The Music I like was released on tiny little labels, and I'm sure there isn't much profit there to begin with. People who make 'real music' in my opinion, would be doing it even if they couldn't make a cent.
They do it because they want to do it, not out of any expectation of profit. I'd even argue that the opportunity for profit is what attracts people to the field to create crap 'corporate' music.
[i]The difference is that if you actually want to go out there and make change; you are allowed to do it in the west. In countries such as the US, you can camp outside the President's house and protest without being shot or imprisoned indefinetly. You may not make a difference, but you are allowed to try.[/i]
Liar. They couldn't keep it up in Crawford, Texass. Several laws were passed to prevent this. And for damn sure no protestors are allowed to camp out infront of thwe whitehouse! Hell, they took down a guy who just happened to stand in front with a briefcase for too long.
Womens rights took decades, and some feel they still not equivelant. Do you suggest we must simply accept invasive government surveilance with no paper trail or accountability for 50 years until we ram a 'better way' through all the red tape?
I would think that perhaps you could use the bus bandwidth and an old/slow card to do additional computation. Leverage the GPUs in the more recent AGP 3D offerings and use it for something...uh....usefull:)
Perhaps we can user in a new age of game design where you can load your machine up with older cards to assist with the heavy 3D math for a game, or maybe expose those cards as a virtual machine of some sort.
I mean, why are software makers getting so many rights at the expense of consumers? GM can't tell me what the fuck I do with my Corvette after I buy it. I could gut it, turn it into a race car and drive the fuck out of it. I could pull the motor and put it in another car. I'd lose my waranty...but no big deal.
Do we remember WHY Apple allowed the clone market in the first place? That's right. All the fashion-victims had already bought their macs. And they were happy. Didn't want faster, didn't really care. And sales dropped.
It seems to me that Apple has proven that boutique computer manfucterors cannot survive very long without radical changes and constant new/looking/ product.
Go back and check any WalMart-related article on Slashdot. Go ahead...check it out. I think you'll find that most posters on this site hate Walmart for many reasons. Including their support of the repressive commie regime in China.
Why is it that the bullied person must change? They are harming nobody through their actions. It is the violent bully who harms others. 'Fighting back' makes you feel better, but does nothing to solve the inherant problem: bullies.
In your own words, you thought less of yourself until you changed your behaviour to match that of the bullies who did you harm. You became one of them, in a way.
oooooo...A.I. in your.NET applications?! Only a person who has no clue what real 'A.I.' is would find that impressive. I have an inkling of the techniques they will pass off as 'A.I.'...
I knew it would come down to that. You can't imagine ever solving this problem, so you just throw up your hands and say it's unsolvable...and that everyone should just deal.
That's interesting. The world was also built on slavery and big strong guys beating up on weak guys. Glad to see you defend unethical acts and the framework which supports them with the ol' "It's Traditional" argument.
I guess I'm just not an eBay person. My time is too valuable to spend that time and effort to save $5.00 on some thing I didn't really need. Because, if you NEED it, you're not going to be happy with auctions which last days and the chance of getting sniped at the end.
However, if you are a shit-broke loser who has all the time in the world to check auctions from his mommy's basement....eBay probably kicks ass.
It's the scumbag seller's fault, ebay is accessory

eBay could crack down on the BS, but that's half the auctions. eBay doesn't give a shit about you, which is why they allow they huge grey area called "as-is". Or are you one of those who buy insurance on these likely-worthless items and then claim the full value from the shipping company?

Most civilized nations are picky. I would love to emigrate to Holland or Germany, but getting a job is tough and they don't let you in without one.
If it were leaked, wouldn't the author hide that information to avoid being sued?
This is about making the world better, right? Not recognition?
Last one I saw in a theater was Lord of the Rings trilogy. I find myself buying older films, classics.
Hollywood just doesn't make content for me anymore, so I will gleefully watch its demise.
Being a major book geek, movies tend to be weak sauce compared to a good novel anyway.
But it's more fun to watch a movie drunk than to read a book.

Report the site to the advertising company! Tell them what you told us. Maybe the advert companies don't care...but I'm willing to be they do.
You think China is every going to get kicked out? Too many fat white guys getting rich for that to happen.

I've been unable to find anything by my favorite Science Fiction authors.
And how is "Safari", a web browser, relevant? How is logging in a pain? My browser caches non-critical account passwords for me. Doesn't yours?
