encrypted emails, digital signatures for verification, etc. But most importantly, whole disk encryption of the device, so that if it's lost nobody can get anything useful off of it.
If you can't do whole device encryption, it's really not going to be well suited for modern IT environments where privacy is of utmost concern. This is something which is available for the Blackberry, but also the Smart devices from Windows, etc.
Right! All those liberals just love terrorists. They want to invite them into our houses so they can kill us in our sleeps.
The problem with this country isn't that we torture. It's that we don't torture enough! Those a-rabs don't understand anything other than violence and we need to give it them in spades.
That's the only way we can transform the middleeast into an enlightened society.
But first, we must fight the domestic battle at home, against mandatory gay marriage and casual abortion fridays!
Liberals condemn European culture, deplore capitalism, prefer a stabler society to the dynamism of individual accomplishment, think it is morally wrong to seek to advance one's values, and disagree that any culture can better than another and hate those that feel that way. If that's not hating America, then what is?
The problem with Liberals is they hate France, and by extension they therefore hate America which was founded upon the notion and premise of European englightenment values that came from France.
I could go on for days writing about just how much Liberals hate the foundations of our values, such as free speech, free elections, human rights and so forth. It's just disgusting, isn't it?
No one gives a crap about liberal Blogs. Jefferson still had his committee assignments until just very recently.
He was only indicted recently. Hell, Tom Delay wanted to keep his majority position after he was indicted, and if I recall correctly he kept his committee assignments.
And what about Feinstein? She's making Cunningham look like amature hour. Yet it will be a cold day in Hell before the Dems put her in jail.
Feinstein? I'm unaware of any bribery charges against her. Is this something where there is documented legal proceedings, or is this a fantasy you read about on some blog?
Yeah...all this outrage is a little but hollow as no one on the left gave a damn when the Dems did it and don't give a damn that the dems are doing it now.
What makes the outrage hollow is when it's false outrage. How about saving the outrage for clear documented cases?
Yeah yeah, the old Carville line. If the democrats say 2+2=5, and the republicans say 2+2=5000, we should report it as "Both sides are wrong".
Seriously, one of the things I have found encouraging has been the way William Jefferson of Louisiana has been handled by the Liberally Biased. Namely blogs like talkingpointsmemo.com, which has spent nearly as much time reporting on his misdeeds(using national guard to get papers out of his house during Katrina), as they did going after Duke Cunningham. There has also been considerable pressure from the left to oust him from office(in a primary bid), and to oust him from committees.
Compare and contrast this with how the GOP responded to virtually every Congressional scandal, such as trying to change the rules to keep Delay in his leadership post, to claiming it was a Democratic witch hunt against Cunningham or Foley or whatever one was in trouble that week.
Yes, any time you have passions flowing, it is easy for a con artist to take advantage of them and make some personal gains. The key is whether you have people whose independent thought overrides their emotion and calls BS for what it is.
Such has been the case of the liberal bloggers, at least thus far. This has been encouraging.
But the notion that both parties are the same as of right now, or over the past 10 years even, is laughable. The Republicans in 2006 were ten times worse in their abuse than the Democrats of 1994.
It is this sense that the ends are important enough to justify the shady means when these kinds of things happen. They felt that when their grand plans succeeded (Iraq victory, Gaza democracy, Prayer, etc.), then voters would be so happy that they could stay in power and stop any investigations. But, reality caught up with them.
And it would have worked too, if it hadn't been for those meddling kids!
Bush could have a live press conference where he bites the heads off kittens, and nobody would care. The 28% who still support him would claim he was showing true leadership by biting heads off kittens. The news media would report both sides of the story as if they had real credibility.
I don't know if this was planned, or just accidental, but basically after all the false scandal coverage during the Clinton years people have learned to just tune this shit out.
I find this discussion humourous, because it demonstrates just how these arguments progress.
But I see where your confusion started. When you read what I said, you added words in your own mind. That's frequently how these arguments start. People should take more time to read carefully.
That's because it's the Mayo Clinic, arguably the top-rated hospital in the entire US. Drive into Minneapolis and you can get into one of the hospitals there inside a week.
Actually no. There's only a handful of hospitals in Minnesota who do full replacement knee surgery like this. Mayo is one of them.
Saying we have waiting lists here just like Canada because your mom had to wait for a slot at the Mayo is like saying we have bread lines here in the US just like the old Soviet Union because people wait in line 45 minutes for Pink's Hot Dogs.
Actually now that you mention it, I have been disturbed by the number of times I walk into the grocery store and find shelves empty.
What you're saying is I offered anecdotal evidence. Which is true.
But then so are those claiming Canada's healthcare system is so bad.
But you called it a "blatant lie". Your words, and are now backing off and saying that in fact the statement may have some truthiness to it.
Interesting argument, basically it falls along the same lines as the Moore bashing. You choose to argue a technicality rather than the overall statement.
Conservatism is defined as being against anything Michael Moore is for. Or on more general terms, anything Liberals complain about.
So, if that means supporting inefficiency, incompetence and such, then you betcha!
There's no evidence over the past 6 years or so that this isn't the case. At every turn, when given a chance to stand for the right thing, Republicans have chosen to simply kneejerk stand against liberals.
So you are saying that absolutely nobody who opposes Moore also defends Bush?
That's an interesting claim, given the substantial evidence to the contrary. One need just go over to National Review Online to find plenty of examples.
The same folks who attack Michael Moore and call him a liar.
Also claim that it is irresponsible to point out the President lied about Weapons in Iraq.
Double-standard?
for the record, i went to see Moore once give a speech and I ended up walking out early. He's funny, but he irritates me too. What irritates me is others who have this double-standard, that it's ok for a Republican elected official to distort and lie, and talk show hosts, and movie producers, and op-ed columnists, etc. But not Michael Moore. He's not allowed to exagerate as part of his comedy schtick.
He cherry-picks information, manipulates and molds the facts to point rather unceremoniously to a conclusion he wants you to come to (rather than showing the facts and letting the public decide)... Not unlike other documentary filmmakers, but still....
Or Presidents, Congress Critters, Politicians, Think-tank hacks, etc.
It seems to me Moore's biggest failing is that he's not a conservative. If he was Ann Coulter the screaming masses would be standing behind him with pitchforks and torches shouting "DEATH TO LIBERALS!".
I googled american-eskimos in google news and top 10 hits were all about american-eskimo dogs
Which are actually German Spitz dogs. The name changed during WW-I, due to everybody hating Krauts and all things German. [and for the record, my ancestors were German, so I'm allowed to call myself a Kraut per the Geneva Convention]
No thats why said that I think they're great as long as you know how the compilation process work.
Generally when I think of all the problems an IDE can hide, the compilation process isn't high on the list.
Was that some kind of attack on my person?.
No, rather your mother.
My point was rather simple. I think the IDE makes the technology available to a much wider audience. Yes, some of them may be idiots in your view, but without the IDE what do you think these idiots are going to do? Most likely, they're going to look at another technology which is easy to use. Say an Access database.
An IDE is just a tool. I use VS.NET, and while I hand code all of my HTML, CSS and so forth... I love the intellisense. I remember what's important, not all the minutia of syntax. But the IDE does allow someone starting out to do it the wizard way. As you learn, you recognize what the wizard is doing for you and judge whether you like it or not.

Furthermore, the iPhone cures erectile dysfunction!
LOL! What a tool you are.
I'm curious. Where is your outrage over Dick Cheney?
That's the transport. I was thinking more like this PGP article
encrypted emails, digital signatures for verification, etc. But most importantly, whole disk encryption of the device, so that if it's lost nobody can get anything useful off of it.
If you can't do whole device encryption, it's really not going to be well suited for modern IT environments where privacy is of utmost concern. This is something which is available for the Blackberry, but also the Smart devices from Windows, etc.

Praise Jesus!
Thank God Bush restored Dignity and Honor to the White House!
All these Liberals demanding our President stand for American values just simply hate America.
and they hate Jesus, of course!

But then so are those claiming Canada's healthcare system is so bad.
But how can it be a blatant lie, when clearly there is some truth to it?
You are now guilty of the same blanket condemnation you accused me of.
But you called it a "blatant lie". Your words, and are now backing off and saying that in fact the statement may have some truthiness to it.

That's an interesting claim, given the substantial evidence to the contrary. One need just go over to National Review Online to find plenty of examples.
Perhaps you could substantiate your claim.
The same folks who attack Michael Moore and call him a liar.
Also claim that it is irresponsible to point out the President lied about Weapons in Iraq.

If it's not immediately critical. You are on the waiting list.
My mother had knee replacement surgery at Mayo Clinic, and she had to schedule it 6-9 months in advance.
A comparison to Canada with the boogy man of waiting lists is fine, but at least be honest about the US waiting lists.
Or Presidents, Congress Critters, Politicians, Think-tank hacks, etc.

Does an IDE make you dumber?
Or does the lack of an IDE just mean most people are turned away without even bothering to try?
