Okay can we finally dispense with calling any of this stimulus money? Tesla is a small company making electric cars for rich people. Great, nothing wrong with rich people or Tesla. However, giving such a small company "stimulus money" is disingenuous and certainly out of the realm of what this money was supposed to do. You can argue the good that will come and how "eventually" they will start making affordable cars. Give the market and Tesla incentives, not cash that supposed to "stimulate" the economy. I don't know how many employees they have but I seriously doubt its enough to jumpstart the local economy around the Tesla plant.
"Additionally, there is a strong ethical argument against protectionism. "Buy American" is essentially a racist statement. You're implying that the value of an American is higher than that of someone from another country by saying that it's better to protect industries in this country to protect the jobs. At some point, we've got to start calling out "Buy American" for the racist statement that it is."
You, Sir, are an idiot. "American" is not a race. If you want to say it's bigoted, then that's different though still stupid. There simply isn't anything REMOTELY wrong with buying loyalty. It's not different than buy Ford because you always did or buying Honda because everyone in your family has owned one. If anything it's better. You're supporting your nation and there's simply nothing wrong with that.
But in the enterprise support will continue. We have almost no Vista, though we do have a corp image for it. We still have 2000 running on servers. Windows 7 full-scale adoption will be as fast or slow as every other version.
I made a simple statement that neither indicates I'm ignoring anything nor requires I disprove anything. Do I know you? Bob? Is that you? Dude, you're ALWAYS heckling me, Man! You! Hey, where's my $50?
Fuck him. Just be glad justice was finally served. Frankly, everyone on Earth should watch that hanging. It's time people understand there should be penalties for genocide, rape, and mutilation. I wish we could resuscitate the bastard and hang him again. And yes, I'd pull the lever. Few times in one's life can they be so certain they're doing the right thing.
What's funny is watching so many who voted for Obama who still can't bring themselves to find anything to disagree with him on. There's nothing wrong with saying you find something disturbing even from someone you largely support. We've been an all-or-nothing politico.
Gawker is reporting that a meeting is being held to discuss this. I would be surprised if he's fired. Nonetheless, he's popular and would likely land elsewhere.
Yeah, so even if its a natural problem we should tamper with it. I mean, hey we have a great track record of tampering with natural and things working out. What could happen? At least we could try! And like most leftist propaganda, that's what really matters. That our intentions are good and that enough money was spent. Fuck Al Gore!
Don't be petty. Science should have nothing to fear. Frankly, they come off as protectionists when they seek to exclude any critical thinking. It's asinine. If you're confident in your argument, facts, and the truth you will prevail. Our education system has become a venue for propaganda. We should be teaching kids to be skeptical of virtually everything so they can learn critical thinking. Instead we want to dictate to them what's off limits. It's no better than fundamentalists teaching them not to question authority. You're merely changing religions.
And yet the words "creation," "creationism," "intelligent," and "design" isn't even mentioned in this statement. What's funny to me is the fact that this statement seeks to encourage critical thinking, a supposed pillar of scientific thought, and yet it's the scientific community that seems to want to quell it. If it's truth, it will stand the test, Folks.
Not according to Al Gore. He claims there is no more debate and refuses to debate anyone on the subject. Of course, he's no expert on the subject at all. He merely summoned experts with whom he already had agreement. Current "Climate Change Theory" isn't science at all, it's politics. Those doing the real work are honestly debating the subject. Those seeking fame, power, recognition are using the "everybody knows" argument to silence dissent and reap the spoils. In the meantime the climate will change as it always has. It may be influenced by man it may not. It may not be that simple. In the end it won't matter if propaganda wins.
I was running VM's back in the days of DOS. First with Taskview and later with Deskview running 4 concurrent DOS v5 sessions on a single-core 8088! And if they slowed down I'd just push the turbo button and go from 4.77Mhz to 8Mhz! oooWEEEE! That's right! And I'd tote that 45lbs IBM-XT all the way to school...in the snow! And I LIKED IT!

Okay, there's one theory.

"The whole point of netbooks was supposed to be that they *weren't* PC's, they were consumer electronics devices."
Ummm...no that's apparently what you thought. If that were the case more of them would have shipped with such OS's. Wait, they didn't exist.

Hmmm Microcenter has a Mac Mini for $399 after rebate. Seems pretty inexpensive to me.

Support. It's a lot easier to call a vendor and bitch than it is to post your bitch on Slashdot. No wait...
No? Then I say, Hey-Hey, You-You, get offa my cloud!
They name the iPhone and Blackberry and 3 OS's. Poorly worded much?
I think I pissed myself.
Always with the negative vibes! I actually ran it on a 386SX16. It just sounds more dramatic on an XT. I'm surprised it was modded "Informative." LOL
Deskview=DESQview...I know. :p

No millions of young people are starting to get that feeling that their vote to "stick it to the man" resulted in getting stuck by the man.
Yeah, because we all know how benevolent Micro$oft is, right?
