" if you are an old fart like me, you don't ever get carded any more"
but the problem is that it wont matter how old you are. they will scan your card as a part of their "door policy" "sorry pal, you cant enter unless we scan your ID - I dont care how old you say you are"
"If you don't want to reveal personal info, don't go into that club!"
Sorry - NO! that is utter BS. so you are saying now that it is OK for personal info relinquishing to be a *requirement* for entering a place? That reminds me of the super-hippy-liberal teachers I had back in HS who said that if one was to get into a fight, the only right thing to do is to turn around and just walk away. Right, the right thing to do is to pummel the person who decided they were going to fight you. Walk away my ass. this attitude is the cancer of our society called victimization.
"welp, gee, I guess there is nothing I can do - they want to ass rape me so I may as well let them. I mean if thats the way it is - then thats the way it is!"
If I want to go to a bar I should be able to provide *proof of age **only*** - and it should be perfectly legal for me to demand that the bouncer manually look at my id to verify that I am old enough and nothing more. I should *never* be required to hand over a lot of detailed information on my self for any normal life activity.
That makes it so one is a non-person unless they have some external form of ID. that makes you a unit, number, object, etc... not a human being.
ya those are all great - but my lord is that an expensive KB.
same with the iGesture...
either you have a good corp card, no sense, or LOTS of spare $.

whats really funny is I just got through going through your post history. YOU are the blithering idiot. almost every post of yours that I clicked on had NOTHING to do with the thread - and only flamed someone else'c comments....
man, you add nothing to this site.

what?!
you obviously missed the point oh high minded troll.
1) I wasnt making an attempt to review the movie - I was giving my OPINION, heard of that word before?
2) the point about the *very* loud sounds was just that - a valid point. Seriously. the metreon played it very very loud - so much so that it was uncomfortable for many of the people in the theatre, myself included. and i was not equating "loud sounds to a bad movie" READ what I said again and you will see that I clearly state that they used louds sounds AS DRAMATIC EFFECT every two minutes. it was very very predictable and got old very fast.
3) what does cameron diaz have to do with this? I am talking on topic about this movie - and that girl was terrible.
4) why dont you comment on the movie "dipshit" rather than someone else's opinion. it is obvious that you are the one with 3 brain cells.
Fuck, why are people that cant read posts completely before hitting reply aloud to live.
actually his cloaking will fail and he will be killed then MIT will be sued by the family of said dead soldier on grounds that he would have lived had it not been for his lack of invisibilty.
what i want is a machine aboutthe size of a minidisc player. but about twice as thick. and use minidiscs as removable storage - but it has to have an embedded geforce video.
but this thing would do as well - as long as it can be incorporated into something the size of a cd player. and still must put a geforce chipset on there... even in a daughter board configuration.
actually I would say that it is NOT listening. Here is my problem: (anyone else get this)
In XP I setup all my preferences - like "remember my name and password on this computer" for such sites as yahoo mail etc.. *NEVER* does it remember. even though I always check it.
Remember my slashdot login blah blah - and use that cookie to log me in. (NO I have not turned off cookies or anything)
when I want to play some sort of media file - like a sound file or video off the web - it pops up and asks me if I want to play it in an open window of IE. NO DAMMIT I DONT!. and the little "Remember my preferences box is *CHECKED* still!?
WTF I say MS is gettting worse and worse. I dont mean as a company - I have always disliked a lot of their tactics. But I admire how successful they are (I know it sound hypocritical)
anyway - I have always used MS OS' at home and at work (in addition to my netra T1 sitting here. my linux firewall, my linux training machine and various other servers and desktops sitting in and around my 19" cabinet - so dont bash it)
and until XP I have never been so pissed/frustrated at an MS product (save nt 3.51) When I tell it to REMEMBER I expect the POS to remember bitch!
Maybe I would feel a little more compasionate for these companies were it not for the *many* times they have ripped me off, over charged me, pretended to offer a special deal that they would only uphold if you called them up and complained about not getting what you were promised.
I say screw the phone co's and all other companies that have similar slimy practices. Good for those that have ripped them off for 12B. VOIP anyone... there are still companies out there that, even though have shitty executives, (www.quicknet.net) are offering voip services at affordable rates.
Why don't you tell us then, how Ken Lay is providing a direct means for a product and profit.
It's nice to see that you have faith in the ideals of a capitalistic society - but reality is not quite so easy.
The people out there that should be able to get in on companies can't really get in on a really meaningful level as easily as you would have us to believe. The fact is that big money, old money and corrupt money are what run the world today. Even though a small percentage of new money is being made so as to help the previously "common folk" become a part of the classes that run the world via finances.
It is sickly apparent in every new scandal that comes about. The Bush and Kennedy families of the world have a strangle-hold on power through money - and these types of people will do anything to maintain that power and wealth.
However - from an outside and naive perspective we can say that the way to the top is through perseverance and hard work, and entreprenerialship (sp?) but the truth is more a factor of who you know - who you can pay, and how lucky you can be at making a killing off the expense of people, countries or corporations without getting caught (or at least not having to give up more than 30% of that profit in bribery etc)
The world of money and power is not ruled by the angles of PC-ness and good ol' pullin' yerself up by yer bootstraps to make an honest buck - rather it is a dark corrupt and sinister world of dog-eat-dog. You kill or be killed. .

is it just me - or isnt it really ironic that the Judge's last name is Ware?
in that - Warez decision puts Hackers away!
ok- so I went to the SF metreon last night to see RE...
Milla is a cutie and all but my lord that was THE WORST sound I have ever heard in a movie. I sat there the *entire* movie with my ears plugged.
the sharp very very loud stabbing sounds to add some dramatic effect to _every_ turn of milla's head was just making me wince through the whole thing.
I think that the only reason that milla was in there was to over deliver on her signature surprised look.
and the other girl - michelle rodriguez. WORST ACRTESS in recent memory. I wanted to punch her by the end of the flick.
ALL in all - RE SUCKED MAJOR ASS. dont waste a dime.
thats nothing compared to the osbourne II!!
