Gotta have all those vacations so he can dry out. Bet the whole time he was sitting there with those kids while they flew the planes into the building he was thinking about his next Budweiser.
Something sure as hell kept him from exhibiting "leadership".
Most pre-war intelligence was believed to be true even by opponents of the war. Intelligence by definition relies on SPYING which is at best guessing
Bush has proven himself, time and time again, to be a bad guesser.
When he says "trust me"... we shouldn't.
We should fire his ass. (not wait for him to leave)
Of course Democrats NEVER use unfunded mandates This doesn't make it right, it makes them BOTH wrong.
The battle cry of all pacifists. Are you saying non-pacifists like to be lied to?
WMDs was simply one of the reasons for the war. You mean, one of the false reasons for the war.
How do you feel about all the mass graves (approximately 500,000 men, women, and KIDS) we are finding there? I think they should kill the motherf*ckers responsible.
Starting with the industrial complex that created and sold them... and, don't forget the Dick & Donald show, either.
History doesn't remember all the intelligence fuck ups that happened in WWII... Those weren't intentional.
They can't raise their own kids without the gov'ment helping them protect them from the baddies... and they are scared as all get out that there might not really be a God.
If you have the *right* equipment, a knoppmyth install takes less than an hour. (on my 700MHz P3)
Start with a PVR-250 and go from there.
I can easily imagine being similarly frustrated with the MS equivalent if you have unsupported hardware... so, I think it really depends on matching the software and hardware.
$250, a slightly larger display, versus the capability to run OS X?
And... not needing to spend $$ on the virus software, or the special "please back up my registry" software... or the "oh god let my firewall work" tax.
Or the "what do you mean an image has executable code" tax.
Or the "software will self destruct in 30 days if you don't phone home" tax.
etc...
And, you get perl, apache and a somewhat decent command line standard.;-)
At my billing rate, those things add up quite fast.
The Acer Travelmate has the same components, faster processor, more ram, more storage space, but a cheaper price.
Dude, you want to compare an Acer with an Apple?
<snicker>
Sure... <snicker>
Go ahead. And good luck whith your <snicker> Acer!
eventually people are going to realize you can get the same performance in a PC product for cheaper without paying more for the branding
And then they'll remember that they can't run OSX on anything but a Mac and beg Steve for another computer. Anything, anything at all, but Windows again!
(Me thinks someone doesn't understand the market. Not everyone is a cheap bastard.)

My geek humor took the week off...
Why is this funny?
TIA
You might be right... but he is representative of the average user.
So, while you scorn his 133t skillz... the point (which you missed) is legitimate.
u can proove ur knowledge in enterprise software
Even if you can't spell...
Only because normal income is taxed at a much higher rated than capital gains.
It isn't like he only gets a $1 from google...
You don't really believe he was sober do you?
More likely he was stoned drunk and collapsed...

These are...
That's one of the problems.
'cause they are chicken shits?
They can't raise their own kids without the gov'ment helping them protect them from the baddies... and they are scared as all get out that there might not really be a God.
Gotta suck being them...
How is it that Clinton gets the knock for doing it with a chick...
While Bush gets a bye for having a male prostitute spend the night... several times.
(Oh yeah, that is right... this terror stricken white house doesn't really keep track of who is in the house with the president. Riiiigggghhhhtttt.)
I think they "prepped" it by completing the setup and then unplugging it.
Which means it is running a file system check...
Sure looks like it, anyway.

Correction:

* or education, or health and welfare, or any other money they decide to tie up... after all, they made the law.
It can mean whatever they want it too...
Besides, the explotable feature has been there since Windows 3.1 (if I remember a comment from a previous Slashdot story correctly).
Gibson is saying that the particulars of the exploit are different for newer versions of the OS. And this particular "feature" is new.
(Hope this works... preview feature was completely borkedO

Dude, random works.
Just takes longer, that's all...
I don't think ID really has a large percent of the population behind it.
Unfortunately, I agree.
Where I grew up it was six days or blasphemy.
Nothing else is "the truth".
In those places... having them believe in ID would be a step forward in their thought process.
Why do God and Science have to be mutually exclusive?
Because science doesn't dictate that entire citys be destroyed just because someone wants a little ass?
Because a scientist would look at such a creature and call it evil?
Just a guess...
Ever heard the excuses for why it does exist?
I think it should have been:
What's an Intel chip doing in a Mac? It ain't the windows...
I think the unit is "Stevie's per second"...
Or is it "Jobs per hour"...
I forget.

Would be nice if a Mac could come out with spec's meeting or topping those of a comparably-priced Intel machine.
And yet... still use the same components?
Besides, why should they?
They manage to sell the product they make... even at the higher price.
Battery life?
Battery life!?
Didn't you hear about the new power connector?
Thats where the news is baby!
(You're gonna need it...)
Yeah, I noticed that I couldn't find batter life anywhere.
You'd think that after touting how much less power the CPU uses they'd translate that into real world benefit...
Makes me wonder.

Dude, check out the end of the sentence...
What does the drive have to do with anything?
;-)
A good drive burns clear thru the media making the distinction between a one and zero very clear.
