Now imagine if you had to work with the crap systems from Peoplesoft, Lawson, etc?
I once worked for a consulting firm that though there was going to be big bucks with Siebel. Nearly became a Siebel consultant. Fortunately the company went under before I got into that too deep.
I don't know about the $100 a foot stuff. But I have a set of Audioquest Type-4, factory terminated cables at home.
The difference? They're bundled in a nice blue case, and have lugs at the end that nicely attach to my speakers and amp. So they look nice, and are easy to connect.
Sound? That I don't know... They just look pretty.
When you look at the history of Soviet space exploration, you often get the impression that "it builds and fits together, launch it" was more often than not the deciding factor.
When developing software, saying "It builds without errors" means the product is ready for Production!
Umm, I was debating that people like you are wrong when they say courts should be able to hear cases on enemy combatants.
The courts have already heard cases on enemy combatants. So doesn't that make you wrong?
Please, stop listening to what you hear on Rush Limbaugh and thinking it has some connection with the truth. His show is for entertainment purposes only.
Wi-Fi infrastructure isn't something you can build long-term. The specifications change about every 3 years still. So we did have b, now we're up to g, and n is pretty damn close to being final.
I generally got the impression that the reason why municipal wi-fi doesn't work is largely because it's a solution in search of a problem. When we really know what problem we're trying to solve, then we can put something in place.
After Vista first came out, and I put it on a machine... I used it for a bit and found myself generally kind of irritated.
Then about a month or so ago, microsoft released a variety of hotfixes which improved performance, memory management and so forth. Since then it's been running very well. Such that I put it back on my main desktop.
Now I don't have many problems. The device drivers are out there, things run well.
Umm, those people were not picked up by the police in our country. They were picked up by our military overseas, many times in combat circumstances.
I'm sure he was thinking of Jose Padilla. I don't recall him going to Gitmo, but he was held indefinately for several years, and when he was finally tried and convicted it was on charges unrelated to what they had initially claimed he did.
You do recognize that under your logic (or lack there of), every German officer, soldier and spy picked up during WWII, could not be held, without first being read their rights, shipped to the US, and then having before a Judge and been convicted of fighting in the German army.
German POWs were held in camps here in the continental United States. They were treated so well that after the war many of them out of gratitude choose to stay here in the US rather than go home.
You should be aware that your argument lacks any Constitutional foundation. The Constitution states very clearly the Judicial branch doesn't deal in foreign matters or things that happen outside the US. The Constitution puts that power largely in the Executive and to some extent the Legislative branches, but clearly says the Judical has no power in this area.
Perhaps you could provide us a quotation from the Constitution?
It's bed wetters like you who have caused this nation so much grief.
So by your definition, what is happening in Myanmar isn't considered terrorism because your definition only applies to the US? I guess US law enforcement over reacting and charging someone with a crime, who will get a day in court, is worse than when a known totalitarian regime actively kills people in public.
I think you miss the point.
What is happening in Myanmar is a pure violation of human rights. The authorities of Myanmar are also arguing... "Well, they wouldn't have gotten shot if they had not made such a ruckus in public." There are always excuses for tyranny.
I don't understand why there are asshats in the US who excuse away problems with our system by pointing to countries like Myanmar and saying "See, over there it's worse." But then, the Soviets used to do the same thing. As I said, tyranny can always find an excuse.
How else do you expect us to get tax cuts passed through Congress?
This fear thing comes from the top. The politicians use it to get you to vote for them, so that they can pass ridiculous measures helping their buddies. The cops aren't really the driving force, they're just caught up in the wave of panic.
I bought The Eye of the World in hard cover when it was first released. I'd read some of his prior works, Conan stories and so on and liked his writing. Each year, I'd wait for that next book and buy it hard cover the first week it appeared on the shelves.
The first three books were incredible. Then I read four and five, and grew disenchanted. Waiting for the books, then finding out he wasn't wrapping up threads but rather further expanding.
Finally I bought book six, got about half way through and then just quit. I couldn't take it any more.
I'm sorry to see him pass away, but I never understood what he was trying to accomplish with this series. It had such potential, and then was just pissed away. Sad. I wonder if we'll ever know why, or what he had intended.
Just because you don't agree with him, doesn't mean he is wrong.
Wait a minute. What if I am right, and I don't agree with him. Does that still make him right, or can we acknowledge that he might be wrong?
What if I'm wrong, and I don't agree with him, does that mean he is immeidately right, or can he still be wrong?
What if we're both wrong?
How can we both be right, if we disagree?
Also, even if he is wrong, he is not putting a gun to your head and making you follow his way.
Actually that whole part about the GNU Manifesto where he says once we outlaw high paying programming jobs, programmers will work for free...basically implies taking a gun to my head.
Not Wall Street. It's failed to live up to the Steve Jobs hype.
Granted, even a half million is pretty good. But I can't understand how anybody intelligent would claim Apple cut prices two months after release because it's selling too well.
Interesting I've only known one person who bought an iPod. The CTO at a local e-commerce company. Everybody else seems to still be demanding crackberries.
The total number of iPhones sold in July was below that of the pace needed to meet Apple's target of selling 1 million phones by the end of September, acknowledged Greg Sheppard, iSuppli's chief development officer.
"It's a pretty darn successful product, but (its sales are) probably lower than what everyone else is expecting it to be," Sheppard said.
Oh that explains it. You're just bitter because you're locked into a T-Mobile contract and don't want to pay an early termination fee for the sexy iPhone.
Heh. I worked at AT&T Wireless back in 1996. I've been with T-Mobile since they were called Aerial.
I haven't had a contract for years. Stupid fan-boi.

Clearly this is proof of the dominance of Linux, and how Windows Vista is going to fail!
It doesn't say what you think it says.
You forgot the parts about Congress having to authorize wars, and ratify treaties.
The three legs of govt have control over one another. That's a fact. That's why it is setup that way.
This country is not a monarchy.

Yeast grows, does that make it a biological weapon?

You must be new to Soviet Russia.
US-bashing?
I thought the Iraq war was the result of a Coalition of nations. A Coalition of the Willing as it were.
And don't forget Poland!

Even the Soviets were more competent.
So that's why my Pharmascist has a big sign saying "According to the PATRIOT ACT. You cannot buy Psuedophederine. Thank you, come again."
Now I know, they were only doing it because they were concerned about sharing intelligence.
I think you've never have been to Soviet Russia.

Do you want to try again?
Apple expects to sell its 1 millionth iPhone by the end of the September quarter.
That was from MacWorld in July, right after the release.
Really?
Interesting I've only known one person who bought an iPod. The CTO at a local e-commerce company. Everybody else seems to still be demanding crackberries.
