They are protesting for the anniversy of the first Bush judical nominee and the dem's refusing to even schedule hearings for them while our federal courts become even more slow due to the lack of judges. only 10% of the federal bench has judges. this protest has nothing to do with the privacy bill, it was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
" Another area where Daschle's penchant for inactivity is evident is in judicial nominations. Only eight of Mr. Bush's 30 appeals court nominees have been confirmed. District Court Judge Charles Pickering was defeated in the Judiciary Committee (which is not mentioned in the Constitution as part of the confirmation process). Three other nominees don't seem to be able to get a vote despite the fact that they have had hearings. Eighteen can't even get a hearing, though their nominations have been pending for almost a year."
Actually, what Ted doesn't realize is that I use my Tivo so I don't miss any commercials. When I leave the room to get a snack that I saw advertised in the previouse commercial break, I can pause the signal so I don't miss any valuable and high quality advertisements for useful goods and services! Its the people WITHOUT PVRs that are really costing them money. So, basically I think the networks should make it mandatory that everyone have a Tivo and buy them for everyone. Of course, those of us that already have them would get a credit for a big hard drive.
here here! to me it seems they are relying more and more on sex and body humor than what simpsons is known for. -- I blame it on the death of Phil Hartman aka Troy McClure;)
it seems to me like it is always on a different time, you watch it one week and go back the same time the next, and its simpons THEN futurama...no wonder the ratings are poor, who wants to play scheduling roller coaster?
thank god we have the PC patrol were ever we go. we wouldnt want to offend anyone now would we? Im not white, Im European-Amerian. I find being called white is a racist label...
I think instead of another expansion pack, why not release something like this..."Sims: The Adult Version". Now that would be fun. Everyday is a new adventure;)
ugh. I used to think Blizzard was a company that made games to make games. Now it is painfully obvious that Blizzard is now run by lawyers. Little wonder they discontinued the StarCraft(tm) map of the week, encouraging users to create things from their products is apparently now illegal and b-aaad. Does this mean that by using the update patches from Blizzard are now illegal too? After all, you are changing the way the program executes. It looks like I have moral dillema, should I continue to buy thus supporting Blizzard? The company that now appears to resent the very fans that made them who they are? Or should I continue to purchasing future releases while knowing that I am destined to be left in the cold if I like it enough to try and improve it? Woe is me!
Well, a family successfully sued K-Mart for $1.5 million blaming them for someone who commited suicide with gun bought from their store (link) just shows that you can sue for anything. There is a family suing rescue workers after they lost their baby in a forest since they found it after it was too late to save him...
While everyone is certainly entitled to a belief and an opinion, I am glad to see something in support of an idea besides the notion of humans are a plague on the earth. I am glad to know that there are people in this world who can see through the doomsday warnings most enviromentalists seem to constantly throw upon us. By no means do I support strip mining the entire planet, but we are only hindering ourselves when we limit ourselves to the resources that we will use.
Ten years ago all you heard was CFCs are akin to satan himself and they are making a huge whole in the ozone layer in Antartica. If we didn't stop using CFCs, that it would certainly destroy the entire ozone layer thus leading to an hostipitable world thus killing us all. Now the part you didn't hear: the ozone hole has always been there, will always be there, and there is nothing that we can do to stop it given current state of technology. For all we know, if it wasn't there, we would have died a long long time ago. Nevermind the fact that it naturally grows and contracts on its own regardless of anything we do. Nevermind that as far as we can tell, its been there before humans ever walked the Earth.
While you can find a study that will say anything you want it to say, the world is not running out of oil, nor will it anytime soon. The president of BP has said the biggest oil reserves ever to be discovered in the world are in areas controlled largely controlled by the United States; that is out in the Gulf of Mexico. He has said that they rival the oil fields of the middle east, yet we continue to tie our hands together and submit to whatever price OPEC says we are going to pay. Russia is quickly increasing their output much to the dismay of OPEC, which is demanding a reduction of output as to raise the price. We have the technology to get our own oil, but there are people in this country who want to see that we are slaves to whims of other countries.
As usual, the same people who want to erase the SUV are the same people driving around in cars that don't come close to meeting the mileage standards they propose for an SUV (nevermind that they drive just as much as anyone else). What happened to capitalism? If you build it they will come, that seems to be holding true for the sport utility vehicle. If they are so damaging, why would people buy them in the first place?
Look at the Grand Staircase/Escalante Nation Monument created by Prez Clinton. He created it with no warning or input from the state of Utah. And he didn't even come TO UTAH to announce it, he did it from the Grand Canyon hundreds of miles away from any of the people whose lives it "Enroned" (where was his concern for the little guy then?). Since the whole industry the towns were built on are now useless, they are destined to become ghost towns within ten years. The coal stockpiles in that area is what sustanined those towns; with the money earmarked for children's education. But now it will sit forever for future generations to "enjoy". Too bad they will not recieve any benefit from it as it will be in a perpetual state of "for the next generation."
There are the biologists who planeted fur in the forest to have it protected, but since when does the truth matter? PLEASE, don't bother us with the FACTS! What? What's that? the ice layers at the poles are thickening, not melting?
The energy market can take care of itself, alternatives fuels are being developed everyday. When there is one that is cost effective and convenient, our current sources of fuel will be replaced with different ones. Look at all the windmills and solar panels in California, but they still had the infamous power crisis in summer of 2001. Those simply do not provide enough power to meet our needs. Amazing breakthoughs are achieved virtually on a daily basis, in 50 years, oil will more than likely only be found in a museum and billions of barrels in untapped reserves, as it will be as outdated as an abacus.
Humans have inhabited the Earth for thousands of years and we are still here...Why in the past 30 years is it all of a sudden we are all doomed just by living are lives? It's time companies that enable us to live as comfortably as we do from being demonized. The same company that writes our paycheck. The same company that pays your health insurance. The same company that gives you the Christmas bonus. The same company who will develop the future sources of energy. The same company that keeps the American dream a reality for everyone.
I'm sure many of you think that what I have just said is equivalent to blapshpemy and will attack the way I said my thoughts as whining, or even me for thinking this way (hes just a crazy nut don't listen to him)...it's becuase you know I'm right, and no one expects you to respond any differently now...
yes, i think this bill has passed -- it should take effect immediatly!;) (well, not mandatory; but at least *have* the option to display like this on all)
ah, that means it runs Windows Embedded and who wants the movie to blue screen halfway through...and thats once Windows Media Player has finally loaded with all the bloat
The problem I have with snapstream and the other PC based PVR software is there in not guide comperable to what is available to tivo, replay, etc...All you get is a grid of times without show name or length. If you live in UK, there is digiguide integration, but I dont live in UK:)...it is rumored that there will be us version this year sometime though

Not in Michigan, they can search you without a word, or a warrant for that matter.

they can't claim ownership if you do first.
