No, the democrats wont be able to do it like they did the past 4 years. There own minority leader lost his seat because of these actions so the senators from the more conservative states won't liekly go along with this like they did before.
Additionally, the head republican has stated that changing the rules regarding filebusters on nominees is a viable option if this continues.
I worked for a start up for several years before being laid off. I now work for a large company who does primarly government and corporate contracts. Since all my time is billable and the US Gov doesnt like overtime, after 80 hours every 2 weeks, i'm done.
Trey and Matt have always had a Libertarian bent to them. Look at the numerous issues that have been address in South Park over the years. For example, there take on Tolerance. Tolerance is not acceptance of somebodies 'lifestyle choice'. Tolerance is putting up with the crying baby on the airplane. Tolerance is dealing with a persons lifestyle but by no means acceptance of it. Finally, this movie is not intended to take shots at the Left or Right. Its intended to take shots at the idiots in Hollywood who have a inflated self worth and think that because people see there movies that they should follow there ideals. It just so happens that since most of Hollywood is made up of liberals, so be it that there liberal attitudes are skewered.
I live in a condo with ~20ish units. The condo association was offered a DirecTV dish to serve everyone in the building a few month ago for nocharge ($1500 dish). My Wife and I decided to switch after dealing with crappy cable that is 1/2 foreign channels for $45+ a month. The DirecTV (and a DirecTV DVR/Tivo) was hooked up and it does everything it said it would do. The Tivo unit does not take a minute to open the now playing list, it takes a few seconds at the most. Using the Tivo guide, its very fast (although the DirecTV guide was noticble slower, but not 30+seconds slower). I dont know about the season passes though.
The funny thing about this whole endever is that when I called cable to cancel, they offered to cut my rate to $19/month for a year if I stayed with them.
I remember reading something from JMS about how the threatened cancelation affected the schedule. He basically had 4 less episodes to work with as fare as the civil war went. Instead of 'The Deconstruction of Falling Stars' (a look back at Sheridans actions from various points in the future) being the final episode of season 4, the episode of Sheridans interrigation (Intersections in Real Time) was to be the season finale. Also remember that the series finale, Sleeping in Light, was shot then also.
Yes, the threatened cancelation impacted the series, but not to a great length. Just enough though to make the civil war conclusion feel rushed.
but when it comes to a Republican aide in the Senate hacking into sensitive Democrat files
No hacking was done here. What had happened is a tech left the directories on a shared server that contained Democratic notes unlocked so ANYONE who looked there could see them. Republicans had nothing to do with the screwup on the protection, its just one of there aids found out about it. Nothing illegal was done.
What really is hypocrisy is that people are making a big deal about a few repulicans having access to the memos/notes, not about the content in them. Content that included evidence that Senate Democrats held up judicial nominee sppointments at the request of special intrest groups suchs a NARL or the NAACP. Or that one of the primary reasons the democrats filebustered the nomination of Miguel Estrada was because "he is a latino". They were paranoid of allowing a minority who didnt tow the democratic party line to become a federal judge. That is hypocrisy.
1. If you had a pay all this money, why didn't you go to trial and prove your case?
Becuase its not up to the doctor on whether the case goes to trial. That decision is made by his malpratice insurance.
2. If they answer, "my insurance company made me settle," then ask them why they rolled over on their principles because some faceless insurance company told them to.
Again, they dont have a choice in the matter. There insurance company most likely decides this.
Have insurance premiums gone down? Probably not. But what does go down in price? Whats happened is in locations where tort reform has happened, annual premium increses have dropped from double or even triple digit percentage increases down to the single digits.
Malpractice insurers may be greedy. Health insueres may be greedier. But lawyers are the greediest son of a bitches there are.
I spent a year unemployed. Part of the problem was the market in the Bay Area was crap for quite some time. After trying Monster, HotJobs, CareerBuilder, Dice and CraigsList; I'd have to agree that Dice and CraigsList provided the best listigs and opportunities.
And with CraigsList, if you happen to get bored of the job search, you can always browse the Women Seeking Men section.
Whats the point of the rangers Track skill when a non-ranger has seq? They can know where every mob in a zone is and track down a named mob easily. That's cheating.
Quick, name three nationally syndicated left-wing AM radio talk show hosts!
Left-Wing AM Talk show hosts dont last because they are constantly challenged on there views and are unable to defend them. People dont listen to fluff on AM radio, which is what the left-wing talk shows are.
I suppose you could argue that a couple anchors are "left-wing".
The weekly policy shows are dominated by conservatives. ie: This Week, Meet the Press. Featured guests and "Experts" tend to be conservative more often than not.
Couple of Anchors? With the exception of George Will who is a conservative and John Stossel who is borderline Libertarian, who is conservative? Did any anchors go to Republican fundraisers like Dan Rather did Democratic? As to the Weekly policy shows, This Week is hosted by George Stephanopoulos . This is the guy who came from the Clinton White House.
MSNBC, CNN
Both of which are dominated by right-wing hosts.
Since when did Aaron Brown, Larry King, Phil Donahue and Connie Chung become Right-Wing?
PBS & NPR
Haven't been watching lately, have you? Again, the policy & news shows are predominantly conservative or business centric.
Wasn't Bill Moher (a PBS host) in the news recently for basically stating George W. is an idiot and the US is becomeing more facist? (or something to that extent) Damn, sound predominently conservative to me.
Ask most liberals what they think of FOX and they say its conservative. Ask Conservatives and the will say it's moderate. Fox is well balanced w/ O'Reily (who is a Populist, not conservative), Hannity and Colmes (1 liberal, 1 conservative there), Geraldo (face it, he is a liberal, just a fair minded one), etc.
Face it. The media is liberal and has been for quite some time. There is nothing wrong with the media being Liberal, just as long as there fair, which they have not beem. Hence the reason Fox does better then CNN now.
What version did you upgrade from? I upgrade the firmware to mine last night from ver 1.37 to the current and It kept everything but the port forwarding.
On top of that, one of MS's patchs (one of the few that cant be uninstalled BTW) breaks compatibility w/ MSMQ 1 on Win2k boxes. Gotta luv MS sometimes, apply a patch->rebuild a server.
When "Star Trek: Nemesis" opens this December, audiences will learn that the United Federation of Planets is about to make peace with its adversary, the Romulan Empire. The initiative may founder, though, because of an enemy who is surprisingly close to the captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise.
Once again, the history of the future repeats itself. Go back in the series from the 24th century to the 23rd, substitute Klingons for Romulans and James T. Kirk for Jean-Luc Picard, and you will discern the outlines of "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country." This duplication is not simply a matter of one generation following another onto the bridge of the Enterprise. As true fans can tell you, "Nemesis" will seem new and yet vaguely familiar: the 10th film in a series that has five plots.
Five, in fact, may be a generous accounting. Here is an exhaustive summary of what can happen in a "Star Trek" movie:
A megalomaniac tries to seize the power of life itself ("S.T. II: The Wrath of Khan"; "S.T. V: The Final Frontier"; "S.T. VII: Generations"; "S.T. IX: Insurrection").
A senior officer of the Enterprise comes back from the dead ("S.T. III: The Search for Spock"; "S.T. VII: Generations"), or a fate worse than death ("S.T. VIII: First Contact").
The crew of the Enterprise goes back to an earlier century on Earth, to make sure that history happens as it should ("S.T. IV: The Voyage Home"; "S.T. VIII: First Contact").
A spacecraft threatens to destroy Earth, and we're to blame, either because our technology is more advanced than our ethics ("S.T.: The Motion Picture") or because we've trashed other species ("S.T. IV: The Voyage Home").
True fans can tell you something else as well: Poverty of narrative invention has nothing to do with predicting the success or failure of any "Star Trek" film. "The Wrath of Khan" has more incident than the others put together and is by common consent the best of the lot. But "The Voyage Home" also ranks high, despite a story that can be fully retold in the listing in TV Guide. Like the original television series, which put expansive ideals into rudimentary settings, "The Voyage Home" charmed audiences by blending self-aware goofiness with outer-space liberalism.
Will the new picture strike the same balance? Trekkie superstition holds that the good episodes have even numbers, and "Nemesis" is No. 10. So there may be hope -- assuming, of course, that nothing new ever happens in the "Star Trek" series.
Not this benchmark again. I'm not sure how many times this has been brought up on/. but I think there is a general consensus that it is not a accurate db benchmark. Go back and read the article. Any db benchmark that uses a beta driver which is unstable and doesn't allow the DB to be used to its fullest certainly isn't accurate. On top of that, when you compare the MySQL to MSSql running on a.NET platform, the results are quite different.

You way off here.
Funny, those links don't seem to have much to do with Java scalability, they just shows how SQL Server scales much worse than any of the DBMSs mentioned.
Of course, this was at least partly do to the crappy Microsoft JDBC driver (which they couldn't even get to stay up for 8 hours).
This was due entirly to a BETA driver. SQL Server could Scale just fine with a proper driver. BTW the uptime was for the web server, not SQL Server.
Why am I not surprised that in a test of the Microsoft JDBC driver vs.NET that Microsofts own technology might do better?
Maybe this has something to due with the BETA JDBC driver? Of course using all MS tech would perform better, but drivers due mature and I would assume the JDBC driver available now is better then the one used in this study (done 6 months ago).
These studies just point out that you're better off going with a non-Microsoft solution.
How so? When the same App was ported to.NET, it could perform better under a heavier load then any other database. It does show that some solutions are better then others, in this case a all-MS solution is better in then anything else they tested. To be fair tough, lets see the performace of this app under.NET w/ a MySQL, Oracle, or Sybase DB backend.
(of course this opens you up to the vulnerabilities of going with a all-MS Solution).
I'll knock MS when there is a reason, but I won knock them around for knocking them arounds sake.
There is a simple solution for having a cat who needs attention. Get another cat. I've had 2 cats of the "domestic shorthair" (aka a mutt) variety for 8+ years now. Maintenance is the litter box every 3 days and refilling the food and water once a week. Any pet you can leave alone for a week is definitly low maintenance.
Felt it here in Hayward (yes, one of the armpits of the bay area, but hey, its better then San Leandro). Didn't seem much more then a 4, much less a 5.
If you would have done so, you would have noticed the statement in which SonicBlue states they havn't collected data since May 2001. So tel me this; How can they share data they do not have?

Although CS is the #1 mod, it also has some of the biggest problems. I stopped playing because of the cheating involved (having play from beta4 through release 1.1). Getting killed by someone using wall hacks, voodoo skins, etcmakes the game old real fast. Combine that with Valves changes to the HL engine as far as prediciton goes, really screwed over LPB's.
Yea CS can play on old machines but when I have a amd 1800 w/ a GF4, I want play games that will take advantage of it. I moved over to Urban Terror and dont regret it a bit.
