Damn it, I didn't say the should not meet with the energy companies! I said they SHOULD NOT DO IT IN SECRET. Executive privilege should not be used for EVERYTHING they do, what happend to Open Goverment?
That is 1,722 on top of all the other goverment spending, spending that has increased almost 25% since 2000.
We are spending about 400-500 Billion more each year than we take in, why can't goverment be cut some? This isn't to say that I think this is a bad idea, but I do not wish for my childern to have to pay for this because we are spending money like a bunch of drunken sailors.
If the GWB admin was serious about security they would not be talking about giving millions of people who entered this country illegaly the right to stay/become legal.
It is a joke. They don't do this crap because it works, they do it because it get them votes.
I am sure that Terrorists will cross at one of the guarded border crossings. I guess they are too stupid to cross the other 95% of the border that isn't guarded.
I know this. I was pointing out that the Apple Hordes on/. said ECC wasn't needed when apple didn't offer it, but now that they do, it is the best thing since sliced bread.
Why ECC? I ask this because during the discussion on the G5 supercomputer I was moded into the ground because I said it needed ECC. The apple supporters response was that Apple had some magic software that did the samething as ECC RAM (with NO performance loss).
I would, but for the past 36 hours I have been unable to submit the feedback from via the apple web page. I will 'unpause' my vmware sesion in the morning and try again.

While not perfect we have the US Nuclear sub fleet. With the exception of O2 and food, they can last years under the water.

How will we be able to pay for this? The current budget is, in a word, BAD.
Where will the money come from?
Damn it, they work FOR US. Why is that so hard for people to understand that?
They should not decide such matters behind closed doors. If they where doing nothing wrong, why won't they say what they did?
Because of the lawsuits brought by various groups to get the names / minutes of those meeting.
That is all that anyone in the public knows about them. Is that the way a Democratic Republic should be ran?
Yes. It is a bad thing. Our goverment should not work in secret unless it has to. Energy policy does not currently rise to that level.
But the public can not find out about the VP's secret energy taskforce.
Sad.
Because the firms wish to use the US Legal, tax dollars, and Military systems to protect their stuff.
If they want to use all that they should provide jobs to Americans.
Well this is the same org that wasted 300+ million dollars because the couldn't do metric/english conversion correctly...
"he fact is that Congress can pass any damn law it wants"
No, they can't. They take an oath when the are elected. Violations of that oath are, I think, a criminal offense.
Have you had any trouble running 2400+'s in that system? I ask because I do not think that the s2460 is certified to run them.

That isn't what I said.
It is those that are in power that are saying this will make us safer. It will not.
They lie.

All they have to do is walk across the damn borders (north or south).
I thought we were only talking about radio we didn't have to pay for?

What has changed?
Damn, you posted something that doesn't bash intel and/or apple.
I am in complete and total shock.
For those that do not know, AMDZONE used to be a great site for info on AMD. In the past 3-6 months it has become a bash Intel/Apple site.
Note. I am typing this from a dual athlon, and most of the other systems in my lab are AMD based. So do not call me an Intel/Apple fanboy.e
No. But HP doesn't have an copy of my lifes work either.
Apple does have an identical copy sitting on their servers.
This is not ease of use, nor is it consumer friendly. As such, I will stop giving them my money.
No.
The loss is Apples. I will not buy anything else from itunes.
I keep hearing about all this Apple 'Ease of Use(tm)', but I do not see it.
I would, but for the past 36 hours I have been unable to submit the feedback from via the apple web page. I will 'unpause' my vmware sesion in the morning and try again.
Due to a series of drive crashes I lost what music I bought from iTunes but, due to the way itunes works, I am unable to download the music again.
Why? It isn't like I bought a digital object, I just bought a string of bits.
How is bluetooth under Linux? I have been thinking about getting a bluetooth adapter to play with, but how well does it work?
