Yeah he was "cleared" by investigations of the National Science Foundation. That's like BP after the oil spill asking the American Petroleum Institute "Did we do anything wrong" and the API saying, "Nope."
They keep redirecting my tablet from www.facebook to m.facebook. That's like me telling my taxi driver to take me to Baltimore, and instead they take me to the tiny town of Columbia. I can't figure-out why the programmers would arbitrarily decide to overrule my desire to vist the full WWW page.
As for google, none of my friends are over there, so I have no interest. It would be like standing in a room by myself.

You talk funny. Of course I will die someday. We all will even if healthcare was completely free. We all die. It's just a matter of time. I have enough money to pay my bills when I visit the doctor or hospital. I don't need insurance except in the extreme cases (like if I get cancer and the cost goes over $100,000).
>>>>>same people who cleared Sandusky of any wrongdoing. >> >>I don't know what you are getting at here. He was cleared in a court of law, was he not?
Wow where have you been hiding? Sandusky was cleared by Penn State University of all wrongdoing, but twelve years later the court of law convicted him of ~40 counts of child molestation. He's in jail for the rest of his life.
>>>Remind me again, what sort of trolling did Google do?
>>>Ok, now I'm curious, when did Nintendo troll anyone?
This was just a generalized roll of shame for corporations I refuse to give money to. Google supports CISPA passage and records info. Most recently they required I give them my "real name" on yahoo, else I cannot post comments.
Nintendo had a history in the 80s/90s of monopolistic behavior. They seem to be better in the 2000s, so maybe I'll remove them from the list.
Toyota refused to replace customer engines that died in less than 25,000 miles. That forced the customer to spend $5000 to $8000 for engine replacement that, under warranty, should have been free. (The customers had dealer records showing they had required oil changes, but still were refused.)
The latest report with all the emails between Paterno, the head of sports Curley, the vice-president of security, and the university president shows the top men *actively* chose to cover it up. Twice. 1998 and again in 2001.
I like in the center. And I get sick of the defense of leftwing viewpoints. As if we deserve to be nudebody Xrayed at airports, forced to buy a product we don't want, or assuming that scientists never ever do anything wrong (unless they are christian (in which case their research should be outlawed from being published in journals or on the web)).
It appears the 90s and 2000s-era Penn State administration covered-up anything that would have a negative impact on their university's reputation. Sandusky diddling boys? Cover it up. Sports players caught raping girls off campus? Cover it up. Students jumping from windows? Cover it up and just call it "an accident". On-campus shooting..... well they couldn't hide that, but they don't talk about it anymore. The 10th anniversary came and went with nary a mention. Mann falsifying data? Cover it up.
Oh and I see the other group that cleared Mann was Penn State University..... same people who cleared Sandusky of any wrongdoing. We can really trust their word too.
Yeah he was "cleared" by investigations of the National Science Foundation. That's like BP after the oil spill asking the American Petroleum Institute "Did we do anything wrong" and the API saying, "Nope." Investigations don't work when both sides are on the same team.
>>>It's the third or fourth time they've done this,
Don't you mean second? You can draw a line with two points, but you can't establish a pattern. You can't claim this is Dell's modus operandi with only 2 samples.
Last time I looked at one of these Linux laptops, the price was higher than the $350 Windows laptop I saw at staples. Therefore it saved me money to buy the Windows version, download Lubuntu, and install a dual boot, rather than support Dell Linux offering.
And Microsoft Flight Simulator. That game's been around a long, long time. I had it on my 0.001 GHz commodore and it was extremely choppy. The frame rate was something like 2 FPS. Of course the reason it was so slow was because it had to redraw the whole 160x200 screen every time..... not the C64's strong point. (Of course Elite did the same thing but it was a much faster 20FPS... better programmers I guess.)
I hope not. I'd rather play on a full screen TV with my surround sound system than squint at a tiny portalble or phone. But then I also prefer a full-sized desktop and a CD player (versus laptop or lossy MP3), and I know I'm in the minority. Things appear to be trending towards everything on a small laptop or phone device.
I like that idea. I recently heard on History Channel that Nebraska's legislature doesn't have parties. That is what we should have in the national legislature (Congress).
The "per unit" cost reminds me of Comcast or Dish. Comcast charges an extra $10 per TV, and Dish charges an extra $7. That means paying comcast $96 for my 4-TV house! Nuts.
At least the ATT plan looks cheaper than Verizon though, because if you're single you pay $40 a month. Verizon makes single persons pay the full $90 as if you were a full family.:-o
MY phone is VirginMobile. For $5/month I get 30 minutes which rollover. Right now I have somewhere around nine hours accumulated since my phone is mainly for emergencies or urgent calls. Their unlimited plans are cheaper too: $35/month.
>>>These idiots believe more in the rights of corporations than people.
Way to stereotype as if everyone inside a group thinks alike. That's as silly as saying "These jews are rich" or "these blacks are poor" and just as wrong. I have met many Paul supporters or LP members who do NOT support the right of corporations to be individuals.
In fact many of us don't even think corporations should exist (as they are an artificial creation by the government's incorporation license). Instead we think businesses should be extensions of the individual, with the owner (or owners) fully-liable for the actions of their business. Including jail time.
Okay now YOU said they were installing "Nazi-style purges" (which in the 1930s/40s were murders or imprionments of Jews, gypsies, mentally-handicapped) against democrats, gays, and nonchristians. The article you link says NOTHING like that.
THIS is why I always ask for a link from people claiming ridiculous crap...... the link disproves your original False claim. Basically you lied to us, and now you were caught lying. You should retract it.
I'm still waiting for someone to provide examples of Tea Partiers and Paulbots being thrown in jail or detained. (silence) That's what I thought. Stupid cocksuckers made a FALSE claim in order to demean the Tea and Paul supporters.
>>> It sounds like you are taking the corporate media story of the events for granted.
Uh. No. I watched videos posted on youtube by individuals like you and me showing the violence & showing the Occupy people shitting in the street because they were too lazy to walk to the public subway and use a bathroom. PRIVATE VIDEOS. Where's the "corporate" in that? Stupid ass
>>> anything which weakens the US will only give nations like China an advantage, and that's exactly what they're waiting for,
And now YOU sound like a nutter. It's the same bullshit we lived through during the Cold War, constantly being afraid we would be invaded if we did not invade them first (hence leading to wasteful wars like Korea, Vietnam, Lebanon, and so on). We're better off to *cooperate* than to live in constant fear, like you pro-warhawks.
>>>So get OpenOffice for zero dollars. At least do something so HR doesn't take you as a cranky old guy who may have once known his shit, but can't be bothered to keep his skills up to date.
I suspect they'd react less positively to a popup saying "Converting from Writer" versus one that said "Converting from Word97". The typical HR person would likely think I sent a non-standard document in violation of his/her advertisement.
