First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
I had a similar problem w/ a laptop that I bought from them 3 yrs ago. The screen was DOA, so I sent it to them to fix, they tried... said it was fixed... didn't work when I got it back. This was after waiting nearly a month to get it. Anyways, when I went to return it they wanted a 10% restocking fee, I explained that I had given them a chance to remedy the situation and they failed, and therefore I refused to pay the restocking fee. The customer service guy said that wasn't possible, so I simply asked for his name, and said that when I protested the credit card charge, I would make sure to include his name as to the reason why I was protesting the charge. Needless to say, asked me to hold on for a minute, then came back and said that they would be waiving the restocking fee. Lesson learned... make them accountable:)
If you look closely at some of the pictures, it looks like they finally added a windows key to the keyboard. How could they get rid of another one of IBMs greatest selling points - No Windows key?!
What balance do you speak of? After Anakin, the 2 Jedi remaining were forced to flee for their lives b/c they knew that they were not a match against Vader/Palpatine.
Well, yes, he's a regarded Jedi, but if you'd taken a moment to read the article you linked to...
"However, Vaapad borders on the edge of falling to the Dark Side, as it channels one's anger and darkness into the attack. Only Windu's mastery and concentration of the Light Side prevents him from succumbing, which is why Vaapad is rarely practiced and very dangerous. The two other known practitioners of Vaapad, Sora Bulq and Depa Billaba, both fell to the Dark Side of the Force."
So its not purely of the Sith, but it borders, so yes, that is somewhat what I'm saying... sort of...
I'm not saying that Luke was Sith, and I'm in no way implying that Yoda or Obi-wan were Sith. However, just like his father, he did show signs of (for lack of a better word) Sith Tendencies (ie, Anakin killing the sandpeople and Count Dookoo when he was unarmed). Granted those arent Sith skills, but who's to say that the Force Choke isn't a simple skill to learn or realize. I mean, you do see Anakin using it almost immediately after he turns to the Dark Side, and I'm really doubting that in between him killing the Younglings and him heading off to kill the Seperatists, he sat down w/ the Emperor for a quick few lessons.
Also, Vader did not follow in the grand sith tradition, for the simple fact that he did not kill the emperor out of any "Sith Reason". He saw his own son being tortured and he sacraficed himself for him... VERY VERY opposite of the Sith instinct. Killing him in a "Sith Tradition" would have only been true had he killed the Emperor to gain more power... but at this point, the good in him had "returned"...
Regardless though, it doesn't have anything to do w/ Jedi being agressive. It is against the Jedi teachings to be agressive. I'm not arguing that Luke could use both sides of the force, I'm arguing that it's not the Jedi way to go around chocking people with your mind... Heck, obi-wan, could have been capable of using the dark side had he given into Dookoo, but he didnt. Its not a matter of being capable of it, its a matter of choosing a destiny. A true Jedi, would not have done a force choke.

Who cares if its insecure. That's just more of an incentive not to snooze.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know... sorry... I wasn't paying attention when I typed the response

That's until Bush's top aides inform him that Sweden is a nuclear power and has WMD.
ALthough mine has been running for just a month, and is still not finished, its a lot of a better idea than milliondollarhomepage.com.
Is it a billiondollarhomepage.com? Because I would say, that does sound like a much better idea than a measly milliondollarhomepage.com
Don't worry... you don't have anything to worry about. :)
Yep... because tampering with federal documents is always the smartest thing to do...
Hi ehiris, I'm humor... nice to meet you.
Good for you... I highly doubt they care.
That I'm not sure of, but it would be quite interesting to find out. My guess is they would probably want as few holes open as possible...
Not special processors... they are using TPM to "ensure" this. TPM is implemented on the mother board.
Mac-specific... thats kinda what the whole "effort to crack the OS" is about... getting it to run on non specified hardware.

Actually I got carded by GTA: San Andreas... I was 23.
This is part of the settlement... NASA is required to re-adjust her horoscope by deflecting 2 astroids in an opposite direction.

Dubya talks like that:
"We will rid the world of evildoers."
