maybe you should update your XP install. that kind of shit stopped happening when i installed SP2. there's a lot of problems with wifi in older versions of XP.
Anyone with half a brain knew in 2002 that Bush was lying. Blix knew there were no WMD's. The UN knew there were none. But they were going into Iraq no matter what anyone else said.
If you were stupid enough to fall for the lies then, you should seriously consider suicide as an option now, to prevent the human race from being further contaminated by your idiocy.
This argument is often trotted out for the iPod, etc. It's specious. First, it's not expensive to install a new one -- it's free as part of your AppleCare.
AppleCare for the iPod costs $59.
A new iPod battery costs $59.
So, tell me what happens when I spend $59 for the 2-year extended AppleCare warranty and my iPod battery dies in 2 years and 1 day? After the part where I buy a new, non-Apple-branded music player.
the potentially dangerous outcome of all this is he gets disbarred and becomes a lobbyist, a senator, a spokesman, or some other position that doesn't require any actual skill, morals, or license but which gives him even more opportunity to waste everybody's time. it's not like he's going to give up the fight because of this.
Of course, someone was going to point out the DRM-free canard. Thanks for taking the initiative. You left out the fact that about one percent of the 5 million songs available on iTunes are DRM-free. You also left out the part where Apple secretly embeds user information in the DRM-free tracks.

I don't like Rove (mainly because he's been disasterous for conservatives), but Rove was hardly some grand architect of "us versus them".
Sure, he wasn't. He only pitted the entire country against each other on the issues of terrorism, same-sex rights, Iraq, immigration, abortion... every even election year, the Republicans trotted out another dead horse to beat righteously in a desperate attempt to attract blacks, fundamentalist Christians, anyone they could, to the Republican party.
If anything, he's a "big tent" Republican and tried to make the party more inclusive to traditionally Democratic voters like Catholics and Latinos.
Cubans aren't the only Latinos on the planet. They were, however, the only Latinos Rove cared about, as they're a huge block of the voting population in Florida metropolitan areas. Note how lightly the right treaded regarding the Elian Gonzalez incident, as opposed to their outright frothing hatred for Mexican Latinos.
Also, fundamentalist Christians are not Catholics. I don't remember any overt attempts by the Republicans to attract the vote of anyone who is Christian and, unlike fundamentalists, also sane.
If anything, liberals, leftists, and Democrats should love Rove since, in the end, he's been the grand architect of the fracturing of the Republican party and the conservative base.
Yes, he was an evil son of a bitch who ought to die slowly in a horrible grease fire, but he was also not very smart. For that, I am thankful.
Sometimes doing the right thing is not always legal.
And stop with the extremely stupid, blanket generalizations. The reason most slashdotters "appear" left-of-center is that the right has moved so far into outer space it's hard to tell what's what anymore. Most people, and most slashdotters, I'd assume, are centrist or slightly left-leaning. Which is now "extreme left" to the lunatics on the right.
I doubt the general public, at least for a decade or so, will be allowed to know how much of an impact the leaker (whomever it was) had on our work to protect ourselves, the which IS needed - just check the threats that are actually coming in across the news.
Are you serious?
What threats?
I'd love for you to point me toward any news you have of specific, credible threats to the safety of Americans in America. Near as I can recall, the last credible threat to the United States was ignored and resulted in the deaths of three thousand civilians.
"Our work to protect ourselves" can be accomplished without the need to spy on everyone and anyone without any guidelines or consequences.
In any case it was damaging.
Good. The government has no right to operate outside the law. Warrantless wiretapping is illegal.
"The next internet bubble is about to burst, but I can't explain why or how so you'll just have to believe me! Here is a list of unrelated shit with some words in boldface to get you even more scared."
What a waste of time. Has this guy contributed anything notable to society?
While PERHAPS this could be used to hinder said right, the REALITY is it does not. Until it does, you have no real reason to complain other than being overly paranoid.
That may be the fucking stupidest thing ever said.

no, his statements are a weasley technciality. people who keep pointing this "clinton lied! perjury!!!!" bullshit out should have their nuts cut off.
which one of the things he said was false, dickhead?
uh, actually, he'd probably just dual boot. why make it even more complicated?

How much are you paying Steve Jobs for the privilege of blowing him?

how is the truth flamebait? the US incarcerates its problems.
take that "W 04" sticker off your leased SUV, then hurry up and die in a fire.

Fuck you, you stupid piece of shit. Anyone who lionizes Karl Rove needs their balls cut off.

this may be the stupidest question ever asked on Ask Slashdot. and I've been around for a while and seen some real bad ones.
Remember the "RAID CD-ROM" question?
you're fucking retarded.
how is this a troll? the united states is full of fat pussies.
