Typical pseudo-techie response. "Just throw money at it". Most people don't want to spend more money on a service that they have already paid for, the burden of uptime should be on the provider and not on the user. Oh and let's say that you have a UPS. Is it the only device on the UPS? Probably not. Bye-bye phone when the battery dies. "Hello...EMS? Yeah, I've got chest pains and....hello....HELLO??" OMG!! I haven't serviced my UPS battery in two years and the battery life is one minute!" Read my post about cell phones, lots of people in NYC had dead cells when the WTC went down.
I really hope that they can take Shatners toupee from the TJ Hooker and superimpose it onto Kirk. That would really be as cool as the crap they did in Star Wars.
Global Warming is a myth, Carrot Top is funny, Cigerettes don't cause cancer, Irac had weapons of mass destruction, George Bush is listening to your phone calls to make you safe.
What does having and ID or not have to do with carrying a bomb on board of a plane. Are you f*cking stupid or just retarded? Sure, checking ID's will really make us completely safe, Stinky.
Read it again dope. I said I showed it to the security person. You're talking about the person who collects the boarding tickets at the plane. Care to explain why you're so stupid that you type faster than your brain can process the information?
Nice. The home of the free. Like they're going to stop terrorism by catching bad guys boarding planes without ID's. Any terrorist worth his or her salt would have plenty of fake ID's. I really doubt that the terrorists will be flying planes into buildings anymore, there's lots of other ways to wreak havoc. If the government and airlines were really worried about security in the air then they would seal the cockpits before any passengers boarded and not open them up until the plane has landed safely. But that would require spending money. I flew back from Texas recently and realized after boarding the plane that I had showed the security person my boarding pass from the previous flight I had taken TO Texas. "You are now not free to move about the country."
You're argument doesn't hold. You're saying that a censored search engine is better than no engine at all. That's not the point. The point is that Google has decided to limit peoples rights to search freely at the behest of a suppressive government. Don t flatter them, they re doing it for the money and not to bring services to the people of China. The traffic to their sites is all that s motivating them and theyre happy to sell their souls to get it. It disgusts me.
I did read the article and I stand by what I said. Most blogs are complete wastes of time. As a Director if IS&T it's my job to keep up with the industry and I don't see people giving cudos to idiots who blog well as important to my function.
It's not ignorant, it's just a different opinion than your stupid statements.:)
I'm reading the posts here and the general consensus is that not too many people liked the movie but seeing how well it did in the theater, I would bet that the DVD will set records; people will want to complete their "collection". It's really a shame because Lucas and Co. will be sitting back saying to each other "See, I told you it's a great movie. Just look at the sales!" This will cause other directors to look to Lucas's style and method to see how to create new movies which bring us a whole new crop of crap to wade through. The good directors and producers can't compete with the franchise...pity.

Cell phones are OK but don't forget that on 9/11 the cell phones in NYC went down since their antennas we on the top of the WTC.

I'm still going to keep my POTS line. It's my security blanket.

I use AOL. It's great! I also own a Packard Bell PC computer running Windows ME with 64MB RAM. I'm l337 as well and oh...I work for Radio Shack.
So we should lockup the good people of Stanley Tools because they make tools like hammers and crowbars that can be used to break into places.
And we should lockup the people who make airplanes since terrorists fly them into buildings.
And we should lockup teachers since they teach math and accounting used by the criminals at Enron.
And we should lockup gun makers because guns are used to commit...uhhh..hmmm...

...totally boring, usually incorrect, massively ignored, whiners...then yes.
In Terminator 3 isn't this how SkyNet became sentient and decided that humans suck and launched it's missles? Hmmm...
How about banner ads running across my dashboard to reduce my payment?

Actually I'm correct. I remembered this way back then and I Googled it and found this article from Geek.com:

Here's a snippett from the 2000 article:
Dell has been offering Red Hat Linux preinstalled on some of its computers for a while, including the PowerEdge and PowerApp servers, Precision, OptiPlex, and Dimension desktops, and Latitude and Inspiron notebooks.
Mandriva says this represents a milestone to make Linux more available to consumers.
Ummm, I seem to recall that Redhat used to be available pre-loaded on Dell laptops. Lets see how long it lasts this time.
