Speaking purely on a political level here, a shuttle disentegrating (sp?) over east texas does a lot more harm to the collective conscience of the nation than if a commuter jet goes down in the florida keys. Given that in mind, you would actually think NASA had the highest QA process in the world....but as we've seen...its horribly flawed.
...neither? Sell the TV, and where your entertainment center would be, put a bookcase. I cut back to basic cable and though i "miss" some shows, I dont miss wasting countless hours on the couch.....i cant even tell you what "reality shows" are on these days....
....Porn ads... ( allow me to get my asbestos pants on real quick )... Sure, its fine an dandy for people to not be able to get prescription meds, but you can do a search for 'free movies" and get bombarded with adword ads for all the pr0n you can ever need. if their trying to look out for the good of its users, little timmy doesnt need to see "finding dildo" when he's trying to get "finding nemo"
...a new CD by Anthony Hamilton...Now there is a report proving it doesn't work by Alex Halderman...
Right, dont think we dont see through your shenanigans, mr. hamilton. Changing around a few letters in your name wont disguise your real identity..we're on to you!
...But i think contact info should be required to register for a domain, and I think there should be some sort of authentication mechanism.
How else can we hold scammers and spammers accountable if they make it super hard to track them down. The majority of those "online pharmacies" have bogus WHOIS info and probably take good peoples money.
Not exactly. Apple is one single manufacturer. There are many manufacturers of motherboards. If apple decides to implement DRM, it's all downhill from there
I know it involves giving in to the bullying, but since we got so many corps standing behind linux, perhaps they should all chip in, buy-out, and subsequently dismantle SCO.
So basically, you're bitching about having to pay for a 3rd party component, which you did not create, and that you wish to distribute via a software package that you are selling?
2d barcodes are a bitch to work with. Instead of a normal barcode scanner which presents a wide area of scanning, 2d barcode readers have a small camera inside them that images and then interprets the barcode. This requires assembly line like precision. Anything passing under the reader has to be within a half inch or so of the reader. You usually only find them on more expensive items that are produced on strict assembly lines...
They have 'em. But even volunteers, or "auxillary" as some are known, still have to go through much of the physical, mental, and background checks normal cops go through. They attend an "academy" but its not as long as normal police training. Usually you only see auxillary cops during big events, natural disasters, etc. Here in VA they call them down to the beach when the streets are literally overflowing with drunken, violent, college students ( imagine "freaknik" in atlanta, just in VA )...
the public should *NOT* have to depend on private citizens to get the help they need in the event of an emergency
Is this a troll? Seriously, let me know and I'll shut up. Otherwise, I have to say you look like a complete idiot with that statement.
No private citizens to depend on? Goodbye volunteer fire, ambulance, and police departments. Yes, thats right, in the majority of cities in the US, most EMS people are volunteers. Private citizens, with day jobs.
You want all those services to be paid for by the government? We can do that, just dont bitch when they raise your taxes. There are many necessary services being run by private citizens, that if the gov't had to pick up the tab for, your paycheck would look even smaller.
Of course you'd have to be out of your gourd to do this regarding MS's history of untested patches
What the hell are you talking about? What evidence do you have to back up this statement? A lot of people are bashing MS for "untested" patches, but nobody has yet to quote an actual "history". So please, humor me with a chronology of bad patches posted by MS.
"movies these days suck, so its ok to steal them". Hm, Fords suck, lets go steal some cars!
Where the hell are peoples sense of ethics and morals? Most of you claim to be intelligent self thinkers, but you stick by the sheep mentality of "everybody else is stealing it, so i can do it as well".
You think that because the movies companies make huge profits, that the little guy doesnt get hurt? Well then fuck all of you who complain about large companies sending work to India. The little guy doesnt get hurt, since those companies are making good money.
...a question which sounds like "flamebait", but it seriously isnt.
Are there any real objective 3rd parties who investigate and report on the different aspects of linux ( ie TOC, benchmarks, etc ) who truly are impartial to either OS. It seems that anybody writing 'reports' are either slanted towards windows, or linux. I dont think i've ever read a report that says "well, linux sucks at x, and windows sucks at y as well. in summary, they both suck ( or they both rock, or whatever, etc. ) . "
Where does one find unbiased reviews and benchmarks of OS's ?
..where a good majority of the features provided by Outlook can be incorporated into a web based application, thereby reducing the threats created by using Outlook, and allowing portability:
Give me the man hours, a good development team, a solid web sever and database server, and you could have a semi-decent web based, accesible from anywhere, email solution. Email is such a simple application, and its so feasible to do the same work as a client, via server to browser interaction....

Because the next terrorist to attack us is not crossing the border with a bunch of farm workers.
because the next terrorist is here.
he's not the guy jumping up and down on the evening news in Iraq.
he's not the guy driving the taxi or selling trinkets in NYC.
he's the guy in business attire working at a tech job. he's the guy dating your daughter. he's the guy with dark skin you see at the strip club.
and one day, he turns into the guy resposible for killing X number of people.
thats why we dont make borders the #1 priority...
We use a couple of these, and they are not anything like what the reviewer described.
Reliable? IBM DeskStar IDE drives in a RAID configuration is reliable? Right...
Frequent weird permissions problems, connectivity issues, etc etc. Not just on an older model, but also a new one we recently purchased as well....

120 Loud Rock Concert.... ....any my home stereo...
no wonder my neighbor calls the cops on me...
So you're a terrorist?
You need to RTFA, they dont monitor everybodies calls..
Might as well get rid of your land line too since that is probably "monitored" and they know right where you are.
Hows that tinfoil hat working out for ya?

Am I the only one who sees a problem with being manhandled by something designed to pick up _CARS_ ???
While you're at it, why dont you just try to swim with a shark or run with some stampeding elephants

...If the Big Mac cluster achieves 60% of peak ...
Big Mac cluster? What's that do, display in real time the flow of special sauce molecules over the surface of a flame broiled patty?

Bogus WHOIS info sucks, plain and simple
