Over time I have gotten a little more interested in politics and voting. but when i was not interested, me voting was useless. I did not make a informed decision. So do you really want the uninformed/non interested making a vote. Then it really could become a popularity contest instead of more on the facts. Make sure you are seen more then the other guy and people like that persons face and you could win based on that.
I have to spend 2 hr's getting down town to a switch site today. I will be doing this for over a week and its a waste. I am even using public transit as driving here would take even longer. Now outside the city (Toronto) I can drive around a lot better. I agree the public transit is better in the city but overall i hate coming into the city. This is why I love even out side of the bedroom city/suburban areas. Moving out of the main city has MANY advantages such as easier communities that make people HAPPY.
I keep seeing the Us government keep putting out new revelations of how he did things to try and make him look worse and worse. In all honesty, I get the feeling at least some of what they are saying is pure BS in a smear campaign. Its just the feeling I get and am interested if others are right.
And as others have stated, for him to get all this data so easily (nothing shown shows any real hardships in gathering data) to me says these NSA systems may be very open to attack. As there security measures seam rather lax. I get the feeling there idea of security is a armed guard standing over the server watching for hackers.
Depends, do these super-sized Alaska King Crab legs taste better or worse. Very important question. Also will my crab claw cracker need to be upgraded Ie MORE POWER
This can be considered scary if devices you can not remove could be affected. IE pacemakers, screw with that and you could kill the person. But then take items like a advanced artificial arm with loads of electronics getting fried by these scanners. These types of devices are expensive and usually customized to the person. So yes better training needed and the pat down should be some what realistic for someone who just cant do through the device.
Don't Panic all, I have read the “The Zombie Survival Guide” so I will survive. The rest of you are screwed, but I will live. So long suckers, but remember, Don’t Panic
honestly the 5 year warranty of some drives greatly affects which drive I buy. I am usually Seagate fan but if a Samsung has better warranty I will buy that instead. I remember when I found one time the drives form Segate I wanted were only 3 year so I bought WD and Samsung at the time. So if WD and Seagate drop their warranty period and other makers keep higher warranty then my cash goes to the bigger warranty. If you don't stand by your product then I have no reason to either.
Jeebus. I think I could actually forgive the misspelling of Seagate (at least you were consistent), but your grammar/homophone abuse kills me: where/were, there/their, buy/by.
I once had a coworker that largely taught himself English from books, newspapers and TV in his home country before moving to the USA. Very smart guy, but made English mistakes like this due to a lack of formal English education (which is difficult to correct as an adult)
This post was quite intelligible despite the grammar/spelling errors, so cut him some slack, you don't know his native language.
Native language is Canadian, I mean English. Never been the best at it either. But this is what happens when I type fast and get back to my job.

My question is, if I find a device on one of my motorcycles or car, is it legal for me to remove said strange device. One of those times I like being in Canada
its one control freak company (apple) not liking that another control freak company (adobe) will not release control of its protocols. sorry but the fact apple is the same in that it is very closed sourced. Hell apple expects you to give up control of even organizing your own music to its applications. Them not liking another control freak company is just funny. He makes valid points but those points can be turned back on apple.
Thanks for making my point, ipad is not a computer, there for it can't be considered a netbook replacement. Don't get me wrong ipad has its uses but its a over-sized iphone (I say iphone as ipad will take a sim and can be used on cell network for data, so closer to iphone the itouch). I agree it could be a nice toy but apply is trying to say it will replace a netbook, but again there are many reasons why I can't see that ever happening, only some listed above.
Choice is good, and many may like a ipad, but lets be honest, its not a netbook replacement. they may say it is but it can't be as a netbook is a standard linux/windows based toy while the ipad or the up and coming smiler products with andriod software are not full out systems. some will liek the netbook for what it is, and it may be all many need, but it can't be considered a netbook replacement.
Why 1: netbook has actual keyboard 2: netbook is a actual pc Ie it runs windows or linux 3: netbook can multi task 4: nebook can be had for as cheep as 200$ 5: netbook can close to protect screen.
I can keep going but sorry netbook is a real system, the ipad is just a oversized iphone.
um don't just blame AT&T shoot apple to. Apple is the ONLY cell maker who can walk in and say this is how you will deal with our product or you don't get it. Apple has much more control over how AT&T deals with the iphone then most think. Everything AT&T dose is effectively approved by apple so hey apple could turn around and say thats dumb change it but they don't. I am no AT&T lover but lets face it its not all there fault Apple has a LOT to do with it
Not official but they where under the impression that sun would as a hole be run as sun a Oracle company idea as a hole. some software goes to Oracle but rest stays one whole company. Thats what was submitted to EU and DOJ so selling off would possibly be a deal breaker. Now this is just what they heard internaly so never know but still to be honest I don't see them selling it.
This is where I like to point out there are also loads of false positives. Great example is me, over past few months I have gotten 3 letter saying I have downloaded movies on the eDonkey network, even listing the specific movies. Fine except I am the only one in my house who uses eDonkey and I know for a fact that I did not download that content they specified especially since 10 feet form the computer are at least 2 of the 3 dvds for the content specified. now in Canada they really don't do anything else, Rogers just forwards on the e mails and that's about it.
so with all these 3 strikes and you are out crap, I would not not have net access for actually not only not downloading content but for buying the DVD's. There are so many simple ways of avoiding these things of laying blame on others like spoofing ip's and then there are ways around it liek encription and proxies. so really when will they stop this kind of crap and find better ways to deal with the issues, Like servers set up for blanked non DRM subscriptions where I can download all I want for a monthly fee or some other method that would work. And get over the fact no matter what you do downloading content is not going away, you are just making people come up with new solutions to your issues and there are more people trying to get around the issues then make them. O and ya don't forget we still see record sales of dvd's/movies and music is growing online downloading in leaps and bounds so you can't tell me you are not making cash.
SCO is finely dyeing off why cant the RIAA and equivalent news
I want CA to go away, dam there freaking Directory server system. Maybe my companey will get the Sun Directory server if CA folds, atleast there support for it is GOOD.
This is the M$ idea that users are dumb so they must be protected. ITs a far cry from the Unix idea where a root user with a few key strokes can del everything on the hard drive including the OS. I am a unix guy, work on servers all day and night idea so I am not dumb enough to do a lost that some in my family such as my sister would do with admin access. The M$ idea is to save people from themselves but its generalizing when a admin has to deal with the same thing a basic business user needs to which is where the security model fails.
And With Vista I will admit its not a bad system, but it has nothing really usefull over XP, IE if you have XP and it works don't bother upgrading, if buying a new system (that has decent ram and cpu as Vista is a hog compared to XP) then get vista and be done with it. The annoyances Vista brings counteract some of the new features to the point I put it about equal to XP overall.
I am personally skipping Vista as I still have valid XP licenses for mys system, but am actually waiting for Windows 7 hopping they fix a lot as if they do I will be looking at upgrading to a 64 bit windows 7 on my main gaming pc. I am not a M$ fan but I give M$ credit where its due and XP and win2000 where good systems, Vista it exists no better or worse and not a upgrade from previous systems but not a downgrade either. I am hoping Windows 7 fixes the Vista stuff.
I agree, I use to buy only ASUS and ABIT boards. Recommended them both constantly, owned other abit products and nothing has ever failed, heck the board in the box my brother is using is abit even. Only this year I bought a montherboard that was not abit or asus, went to EVGA for a high end board that had the new nvidia chipset as the asus offering was 100$ more, sure it had built in water fooling but bt no good to me. So EVGA is my new abit, its a sad day tho still
O thats alll I nead, I am in canada and the red tape here and fourms and crap are nuts and now they want to add more for really what I can see as no good reason. The tac for example will be passed right on to the consumers and then they have to pay for new content, um the content is usually FREE. Next thing they will say is the content to someone house in canada has to be at least 20% Canadian, fine we have that for radio stations and such which don't work out to bad. But for the internet, ya enforce that. But Realy come on, first we get the new proposed DMCA Canadian version that thy want to put in here that was not influlenced by the us one, (and I have 5billion in the bank) that is just going to kill consumers right to media and now they want to regulate the internet, wow if this all goes through Canadian internet will get really screwed up. At that point I will be finding one of those proxy servers who bypass all this crap and doing all surfing through that.
actuality Vancover island Rogers internet lines where taken out 2 times because of this. Theafs got into a manhole and just grabbed wire. fiber line came to so Vancover island lost all internet from Rogers. 6 months later SAME exact thing happened. And yes there are redundant lines but that one spot is the OLNY place the lines are in the same place, crossing. Know the tech who got called out
And knowing my luck I would park on that lot and would have them send me a letter saying I owe them royalties for parking over there grave as its a privilege to do so.
This also brings the issue of how dose one get experience. Now first is it a Senior position you are hiring for then yes 20 years experience wins but for a junior and intermediate position, 23 year old vs 40 year old should be treated fairly as that 23 year old could be the best kid since sliced bread in 5 years while the very experienced person in a junior/intermediate position may not be pushed to limits, may just slide buy and may just be lazy and over speak there experience.
But besides that the side and interesting note here is that if you rule out the younger guys/girls, and most do then in 20 years how did those 23 year old now 43 year old get his/her experience. This is something I have noticed that people don't want to hire the 23 year old for reasons you stated but then that person who would become what you need, and willing to learn and can FAST dose not get experience and is just slowed down. Young It people have a EXTREAMLY hard time getting decent jobs in the junior to intermediate areas as there is always someone more experienced who will take the pay get it. I am only 27 and got a LUCKY BREAK and I stress LUCKY but I know people who where A students, had soem work experience end up working at the mail as no one would hire as not 10 years experience for a junior position. that was me a few years ago, but not everyone will get a lucky break or have a unkle who is a CEO of Dell or something.
I don't mind the idea of the kids getting less pay and not getting seniour position but when they can't get a junior position as the guy hiring wants a senior guy it can end up hurting the up and comers who are the future of technology.

In Soviet Russia, o just bend over and take it, you are in Russia sucker.
