I'm sure grandma willy is going to understand when you tell her the Mac is so super secure, and even though all of her pictures are gone, the OS still boots up and relaunches the virus in user space.
I'm a big fan of BF2 and have played it a lot. Gotten quite good at the game even.
But I downloaded BF2142 demo, and I'm really not very impressed.
Plenty of flashy graphics, but they destroyed much of the game play. It kind of reminds me of how Battlefield Vietnam was hosed after BF1942 had been so good.
I'm going with the movie rental kiosk, unless I want to keep the movie for a long time so I can watch it many times... I'll go with the DVD at Target. So I don't think Target has much to fear here as far as lost revenue.
I will say, that Apple's DRM is just a whee bit better than DivX, although not by much... Sheesh!
Make sure you deauthorize your computer before you upgrade your RAM, hard disk or other system components. If you do not deauthorize your computer before you upgrade these components, one computer may use multiple authorizations. If you find you have reached 5 authorizations due to system upgrades, you can reset your authorization count by clicking Deauthorize All in the Account Information screen. Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than 5 authorized computers or if you have used this option within the last 12 months.
Considering you have a good portion of the population who suffers from Bush Derangement Syndrome, a condition accompanied by defending the indefensible, accusing people telling you the truth of lying, and believing people who are lying are telling you the truth. It doesn't matter.
This statement purposefully left vague to make a point.
Our office was recently redesigned. We have an odd shaped building, it's like an octagon with the elevators and bathrooms in the center. So the new design works well... basically the cubicles are like spokes on a wheel, coming straight out from the window. The walls between cubicles are like 4' high... the ones between spokes are 6' high. This configuration allows a lot more light to come in from the windows. Versus before where the cubes were rings, and the guys with the windows won.
They also took all of the offices and meeting rooms and put them right in the middle... on either sides of the elevator banks. So the big boss get's a office with a window, the smaller bosses get offices with doors but no windows.
All in all it makes effective use of the space, and allows more light and openness.
But each of these are really quite seperate. You don't need to do them all at once.
In the meantime you've prevented someone from giving a $500 million tax refund to their favorite company, attached to the bill for funding the preserve the wildlife fund or somesuch.
I think people need to start looking at how can something be misused, and narrowly define things such that it will be hard to misuse. Not getting your way on an issue is not an example of misuse.
The other thing that people need to get better at is arguing for things, and quite calling people stupid just because they don't understand. Maybe if they don't understand, you don't have a good argument.
Although, granted, there are a lot of really stupid Republicans these days and their arguments are not just bad, they defy reason.:-)
Thus far, the FBI has seized evidence from Ben Stevens state senate office in a bribery investigation.
Now Ben Steven is the son of Ted Stevens, who is in Congress and invented the Internet Tubes.
In the latest news it seems to have gotten worse, as part of the investigation is now dealing with bribes accepted by Ben Stevens that involved fishery legislation sponsored by Ted Stevens.
The Line Item Veto was actually passed, and the SCOTUS declared it unconstitutional.
But a couple of ideas that I've seen from my state(Minnesota) which work:
- Single Subject. A bill must pertain to a single subject. You can't have a bill which talks about penalties for molesting rasberry farmers, and include a provision in there to fund oil exploration in Nebraska.
- Balanced Budget. Revenue must match Expenses. Pretty simple.
This creates an honest debate. Ok, you want to cut taxes... Well, what services are we going to cut to pay for it. Or you want to fund a new program, ok, what services are you going to cut, or what taxes are you going to raise.
It's a lot more honest than the spend freely, promise lower taxes, and pass the debt onto the grandchildren method we have now.
If there was a way to constitutionally demand politicians be honest, I'd be all for it. Thus far many smart minds have tried and failed.
Actually, Wal-Mart is more expensive on many goods. Or they have limited selection and don't have the item you want.
I prefer Target. I've found them to be cheaper for soap, paper towels, etc. The stores are clean and the clerks are friendly. Unlike wal-Mart. Hell, even 40 year old K-Mart stores look cleaner than Wal-Mart.
It's interesting. Europe has widespread deployment of cell phones. But not so many hardwired lines.
Oh yeah, that's right... they've got all these old buildings and streets and such. Harder to run wires around after the fact, but it's easy to deploy wireless antennas.
Now compare this to the US where we have telephones, but not much broadband or cell coverage. Because the country is so fricking huge, it's expensive to run wires and/or put up that many antennas.
Wait a minute! I think you might have determined causation wrong.
Paper trails which leave the voting booth are pointless and anybody who suggests those doesn't understand the problem.
Fundamentally the ballot should be on paper, and the machine should just be used to speed up the counting. That's it. If need be, the paper ballots can be reviewed to insure the count was correct.
There are ways to make the paper ballot pretty much full proof.
In Minnesota this is what we have. There's two arrows by the name. You draw a line between them. That's it.
Why does everybody want to make this so god damned complicated?
Simple. To get a photo ID you need a birth certificate.
What if you don't have that? Well, you can request it from the county where you were born.
What if you don't know where you were born?
I think it's funny how people in their nice comfortable middle class lifestyles don't understand how the real world works. They think everybody has a dishwasher, microwave oven and a BMW in the driveway and can't possibly fathom people living differently.
How can you claim to be serious about vote fraud without be in favor of requiring ID to vote?
Good question.
And it's not disenfranchisement either.
A law passed for the purposes of keeping people from voting is disenfranchisement. I don't see how you can be serious about Democracy if you don't recognize that.
You need ID as a prerequisite to get a job, cash checks (and even if you are poor, welfare checks, other government assistance), open a bank account, etc. I don't know how anybody could not have an ID unless it was a matter of purposefully not wanting one. I mean, when you are born, you get a birth certificate (which I believe is enough to prove ID under the proposed law)
Great. So let's have the government give free ids to everybody. And in the event that the person does not have a birth certificate(actually pretty damn common), the government will track it down for free as well.
I think you're absolutely right. Life is a lot easier in so many aspects with the proper id. If we want to help people get out of poverty, we ought to help them get ID.
Ok, now answer me this question.
How are you handling absentee ballots?
That's where most of the fraud occurs. How can you call yourself serious abotu fraud if you don't care about fraud?
Democrats voted *AGAINST* requirements for presenting your ID to vote in federal elections
Which is an overly partisan and anti-republican statement.
Democrats are opposed to this, because they recognize that the only reason why Republicans are pushing for it is to disenfranchise groups of voters and keep them from the polls. Disenfranchise people who aren't eligible? No. People who don't have picture ID for whatever reason.
So it's rather funny that you whine about bias, and post your own.
Since the review so heavily criticized Soapbox, what did the reviewer think Microsoft should have added to put it ahead of the competition? I mean, if you add the same functionality (say, ad revenue), you're not exactly putting yourself ahead and you're just doing what's been done. Is there anything left to be done to make your online video site "the best"?
If this guy had had some good ideas on what a sight should have had to make it successful, he'd have found venture capital and implemented it himself.

I guess I'll wait for BF2242
Neocon doesn't mean Jew.
I would love to hear your explanation of "normal value systems".
Senator Ted Stevens(R-AK) has been replaced by a similarly competent politician in India, for less than half the cost!
We should beging interviewing candidates to outsource the President next.
$15 at Target
$13 at iTunes
$1 at the movie rental kiosk
I'm going with the movie rental kiosk, unless I want to keep the movie for a long time so I can watch it many times... I'll go with the DVD at Target. So I don't think Target has much to fear here as far as lost revenue.

I have spent many hours with Battlefield-2 training in counter-insurgency warfare!
Not bad ideas.

AMD's play on the server line with the Opterons is at risk to the new Xeon 7100 line.
I don't know if I've seen any benchmarks yet, however.
But each of these are really quite seperate. You don't need to do them all at once.

You sure seem convinced that there is a great deal of voter fraud, but I've yet to see any evidence of this.
So you're saying you don't care?
You're not even going to try to help these US Citizens to vote?
So much for the American experiment. It's been kicked to the ground and stomped on, all in the name of partisan advantage.
It's interesting. Europe has widespread deployment of cell phones. But not so many hardwired lines.

Either you didn't think of that, or you didn't care. If it's you didn't care, then it's biased.
