Yup, the other 20 something replies indicated that as well. Really, all I was trying to say was, everyone focussing on Bush lets congress do whatever they want. All of the replies that I got indicated that they don't really care, they want to blame Bush.
1) Come up with a brand name. 2) Sell a bunch of stuff that's already free. 3) Profit.
Now they've added.

Intelligent actually means something, the problem is, it's overused.
IE, your clock radio syncing up to GMT is not "intelligent," your clock radio figuring out where your hand will be when you try to hit the snooze alarm, and walking out of the way so you don't hit it, is intelligent.
Let me go ahead and repeat that for you, since nobody ever understands that.
A CONGRESSMAN.
The reason that "the Bush Administration" gets away with this is because you're looking in the wrong place. This is called "the legislature," and it really hasn't got a damn thing to do with who is the President.
Want to fix this situation? Blame the right people.
It sounds almost like Congress has this double talk thing worked out as well.
"Everything that we do that pisses people off" = "The Bush Administration"
These people can get away with it as long as the voters blame everything that they do on Bush.
I had it worse. If I showed up late, people would notice me coming in late. Come in early, people would notice me leaving early. If I came in on time, I'd never get any damn work done.
Code Monkey puts up with crap at work (that's pretty much par for the course). He tries to socialize with the receptionist, who turns him down. Ok. Then, he sits there and ponders the moment like some kind of weird stalker.
Glad I'm not Code Monkey then:-)
Code Monkey look at your picture Code Monkey concentrate When nobody is looking Code Monkey (it starts with "m")
Rob see Code Monkey's cube Rob see Code Monkey's piece Rob open up his cell phone Rob call up the police!

It's worth noting that the reason that I do that is because I'm pursuing a PhD;-) I just kind of view major metro areas as a nice runner up. Incidentally, I get to combine the two next year (kind of), in that the school that I'm doing my PhD at is in a metro area:-D
I live in Ithaca, NY, which prints its own currency and has an active socialist party. This isn't McCarthyist bull, this is an "as I see it," point of view. Heck, I don't even mind. I'm a Libertarian, and would love to see more variety in the political process. Perhaps in 20 years, it'll be the Libertiarians duking it out against the Socialists in presidential elections. I say, bring it on.
That's exactly what people should be doing. People seem to want to blame Bush for everything that comes down the pipe. "The Bush administration this," "the Bush administration that," what are we going to do when Bush is out of office, and there's a camera in every toilet? These people really think that we're going to take a sigh of relief because Bush is out of the White House, meanwhile, the legislature that pushed all of that through will be going as strong as ever.
Is there a study somewhere indicating the prevalence of child pornography, preferably one that has been carried out over a number of years, and perhaps has a timeline that one could compare against the prevalence of Internet access?
The people who that doesn't apply to should get simple, blowoff degrees as undergrads, then an MBA. They'll make tons of money and never have to do a single difficult thing in college until the MBA.
That's based on what you want to do too though, I'm sure that few people don't want to be members of the wealthy elite.
Come on now. The schools that I'm talking about are top 10 schools in CS. Nobody is turning down CMU graduates, and, yet, Software Engineering is only offered as a graduate program there to the best of my knowledge.
Everything that I hear says that Portland's a good deal. The area is heating up a bit, and you can still get a house at a good price. If you can hop on a developing area, and then ride that rising tide, that's the way to get ahead financially (if that's your goal). It's also nice to be in an expanding area, and an expanding (or new) business.
I think it's all a matter of taste, but if I weren't floating around stodgy old academic institutions, I'd be looking at shiny new tech companies.
I'm not industry analyst, but I'd say that you're right on the money.

:-D
At least you were rational and polite about it
Sorry, I didn't mean to sound that rude about the matter.
:-D
Keep doing whatever it is you guys do, Linspire
I have to admit, it's not much different. At least RedHat has full-time programmers and adds something to the scenario.
Thanks for the update. Are you done making yourself feel smart now?
Yup. Their business model seems to go like this.
1) Come up with a brand name.
2) Sell a bunch of stuff that's already free.
3) Profit.

Oh, you're talking about the head of the party.
Dude, who cares about that? Seriously, if you want action in the legislature, you look at the legislative positions.

I guess that you need to go back to high school.
I guess I don't. Why don't you go ahead and tell me all about it.

Roll this in the pages of your civics book and smoke it. It was obviously written by someone who didn't know a whole lot about the topic.
Still wrong.
It was introduced by a Congressman.

Facebook.com isn't distracting enough already. Now I can assure that my productively plummets to the Earth's core.
Martin who? I've never heard of him. Do you have a picture or something that I could check out? Oh... I guess that that's why.
And now you know what happens when you pick the MPAA.
Congress enacts oppressive laws that force the consumer to buy your shoddy product anyway?
Bitchin!

Even so, I'd say, we're screwed.
Naw. Now that the USSR is out of the way, all of the communist hippies have made their way into the government.
Being openly communist in the US will probably become fairly prevalent once communism is no longer considered a dirty word.

I forget that because I tested out of my first year requirements and started a couple credits short of being a sophomore.
