Is it just me, or did all of a sudden 5 people in a row post "this isn't a power plant" where previously we'd been strolling along fine thinking it was?
There was a great episode of the Daily Show where apparently there had been a terrorism scare in a quaint midwestern town -- the name apparently sounded like something "the terrorists" had said in one of their "intercepted tranmissions." The people there seemed proud to have their town considered... pretty funny.
Nope, it's not just him. Wi-fi is an idiotic term -- I have no idea where it came from, as it makes no logical sense. Something similar to this one is "Plamegate" and the other ___gate scandals. It's the second half of the name "Watergate" -- when applying the suffix "gate" to something, it doesn't suddenly mean "scandal."
A minor point though... FWIW, it's always BEEN that way. Sure, they had the opportunity to change that (well, and did for awhile with the clone manufacturers), but if you're talking about the Intel thing, it's not really a change.
The HelpDesk people here tend to be women my age. We tried hiring men for awhile, but apparently they get bored and unsatisfied with the job faster and start slacking off.
I don't know... seems like a paradox to me -- America's done pretty well for him in the last few years. Perhaps you mean why does he hate Americans. Then I'd have to ask, why does America hate Americans so much?
Best defense against this one is to be indespensible enough so that they are not about to fire/reprimand you over something so mundane for fear of you leaving.;)
Your source is what they say where? Everyone on here seems to claim to know what "they" say. However, no one has even quoted or linked to the websites, or any that have not been taken down, or even a cache.
Protected, what, by an onslaught of all manner of civil rights vis a vis the PATRIOT Act, etc.? We don't need the terrorists -- we're doing it to ourselves. Or shall I say "the assholes you voted for are doing it to me."
They encourage abstinence, not condom use. Ever tried abstinence? (Actually, this is/. so there may not be a lot of sympathy here;)) It ain't pretty. You have to work within the confines of reality.
"I am a big fan of O'Reilly, not ashamed of it whatsoever"...I must be some kind of magician. And this is where you are getting your news. Again, cite ANY of that tripe.
How in the hell does that even remotely make sense? "The only way this train wreck can succeed is if we support it." Train wrecks do not succeed. Why would I support something if I think it is the wrong way to handle the situation. How many suicide bombings were there in Iraq before we went in there? Now I hear about someone blowing up a police checkpoint almost daily.
Imposing this shit on people is EXACTLY what they have said has been pissing them off. I know, I know we don't believe what they say, and they're really just jealous of our huge plasma TV's and overclocked l33t hardware...
I'm not saying that, I'm arguing with what you said. "These people seem to think they can disregard a police order." Apparently he couldn't. You are cool with this. Are we up to speed now? The dude was STILL on his face and shot 8 times in the back of the neck/head. Maybe if they were right, that would be something. They don't seem to ever be, however.

Patient police work in Britain, eh? Doesn't sound like a little something everyone was talking about a week or two ago.

Bullshit.
Good, 'cuz I'm not really enjoying the emissions of "Balmer" in his first series.

But this is the guy they've been looking for -- he knows the second step!
Only one problem: AOL doesn't run on Linux. How are these users then gonna use their AOL CD for AOL?

...you insensitive clod.
Believe it or not, it happens. Some of us are well-adjusted people, who shower, go outside, and even have relationships.
Believe it or not, some of us shower, live in our own apartments, and actually go outdoors. Amazing!

I'd say "you must be new here" again (you must be new here is also kind of cliche'd), but it would be a bit redundant...
There's another one of these that was in a thread a few days ago. Bots from M$? I don't know why anyone else would bother, frankly.
You must be new here:

Which is particularly amusing to me because I don't even find Google's start page to be strikingly useful.

Kinda makes you no better than the terrorists, doesn't it? Hm, h'bout that.

And it hasn't been working. At all. Has it? Yet it continues.
