That is so true! When I worked there I often overheard people telling customers that ISA modems cant go as fast as a PCI modem even if they are both 56k.
CompUSA??? Why even mention the hideous chain of stores. CompUSA has the most inept employees that are ready to 'impress' you with their Windows knowledge and sell you some worthless $50 Belkin cable.
Salesman: "you need this cable. a hot-swappable IDE ribbon is a must have."
Salesman #2: "is that the hot swappable IDE ribbon? Oh snap! that one made my AOL twice as fast and my por- er my 'files' save quicker."
Salesman #3: "guys, don't forget that he needs a terminator for that ribbon. its an extra $37.95 plus we get to grab your wifes boobies."
Customer: "What?! My wife? are you sure??"
Salesman: "positive. now lets see some boobage; i brought my star wars digital camera."
CmdrTaco,
You are a dumbass. Are all muslims terrorists? No.
Are you a tool with a keyboard? Yes.
What about all the muslims in this country? Are you going to do all them up the ass as you so strongly wish to?
Shut up and put a bag over your head.
Why would we learn from the Soviets mistake? We are not attempting to annex Afghanistan as a barrier country as the Soviets wanted to. We are trying to root out terrorism, not colonize.
other countries cant compare to america. what would they bomb in your country.. a bunch of fat women and goats? or perhaps your collection of diseases.
I bought the Atlas about three years back and loved it. The Atlas contains amazing detail and history. I especially liked how it contained topography of not only middle earth during the time that the trilogy is set in but also maps from the Silmarillion's time.
Well worth the money in my opinion.
Unfortunately, Ritalin can only give concentration to those who cant concentrate to begin with. If a normal person took Ritalin they would just get high. The U.S. has developed a problem with teenagers that were on ritalin as a kid for so long that now they chop it up and snort it to get a quick feeling of euphoria.
You are mistaken or misinformed. The U.S.A. is NOT a democracy or a democratic-republic. It is a Constitutional Republic with Democratic Institutions. I challenge you to show me any legitimate piece of information that states otherwise(basically, facts not opinions).
Why is it that political or foreign-relations stories get all the responses with Bush-bashing and America-bashing?
I would like to have an accurate poll as to how many of these 'informed' slashdot posters actually voted. After all, I have found that the ones who complain the most do so since they didn't voice their opinion at the appropriate place and time; i.e. the polls.
p.s. 'i didnt like either candidate' is not a valid excuse; try again.
A 'Rouge' nuclear state?! Since rouge is a variant on the color red, are you inferring that the U.S.A. is a secretly disguised Communist country?
Quick! Inform the presses! America is becoming Communist!
Thank you! I was hoping someone would point that out! Kudos to the PBS special that brought this attention to the public.
Hydrogen good, ignorance BAD!
I disagree on your comment that 'cartoons are for kids.'
Cartoons originated as an adult form of entertainment. By 'adult' I dont mean a pornographic form, I mean it in the true sense of the word that denotes maturity.
Looney Tunes used to be played before movies in theatres during WWII along with newsreels. After TV became more common, cartoons became the babysitter of countless children around the world. Why? The themes and subtle political messages are lost on youths and all that is gained is a collection of images that is mildly entertaining.
Cartoons then became more kid-oriented in the late 1960's and then exploded in the 70's. I.E. Scooby doo, smurfs, School House Rock!, etc.
Oh whatever.. I am sure this will be replied to by one of the many fine individuals that plague this site.(anti-semite trolls, anti-social trolls, anti-troll trolls:p )
Have fun people, dont be so cynical- Tom Burnett has the monopoly on cynicism anyway!

Is not the Electoral College a constitutional element?
