If the moderator things drug smuggling is off-topic for a discussion about prison, then he most likely thinks prisoners still wear striped outfits and have a ball-and-chain connected to their legs.
Which makes it even funnier, considering the original Apple copyright agreement had it so Apple computer couldn't even put sound in their first machines, as it could've violated Apple Records copyright.
Now, they're going hardcore into the business...I guess the previous agreement has more than expired.
The majority of the parties funding comes from what?
Hope you aren't a bettin' man, because I've seen Ralph Nader (trumped up beyond his miniscule support) and different Perotista/Reformers on FNC at various times.
But, they didn't cover for them. Being reported hardly counts as having someone cover your back.
Nice to meet 33% of the audience for Donahue's thinkless show!
I only watched it to see Neal Boortz on TV (interesting character to watch).
I remember when Neal Boortz (Libertarian) was on Donahue's show (several times) on MSNBC, he was shouted down every chance he wanted to say a single word. He was basically on to be the center of a 2-minutes-hate segment brought to you by Big Brother MSNBC.
Noone mentions this, since, while Neal is fairly "conservative" (he's really not that conservative), he's not a member of the republican party, so he gets no time from the Fox News Channel. Of course, MSNBC never apologized for the incident, because noone heard anything about it. The odds of CNN, ABC and all the others pulling their fingers out of MSNBC's ass to help a "conservative"? 0. Odds of FNC covering for a non-republican? 0.
Truely independant voices get no airtime, while those who sell their souls to the two corporate parties (Democrat/Republican) get a shot.
People can view America as ignorant all they want. It still comes off as the same bullshit many people get in school when a couple of self-appointed elites say they don't like how you dress or that you're not a fan of the Backstreet Boys.
The majority of the world thinks that peace is not worth dying for. That peace can only be achieved by whining and complaining until the break down. Shit, you don't even need to know a ruthless dictator to know that shit don't work. Try whining and complaining on a friend of yours that you wanna borrow money from.
Of course, the rest of the world looks too heavily at history, and not at the patterns of human history. They see wars and pain and bad stuff, but they don't see the patterns that form. War, Overthrow, and Peace are locked in a never-ending cycle. If you want long periods of peace, you can have them, but it will be followed by a long period of war and a long period of revolutions.
I'm not necessarily pro-war, I'm just not Anti-All-War. Some wars need to be fought. Some things are worth fighting for. Europe used to know that. Especially France, whose revolution was quite bloody.
Sometimes, though, I wish we did live in a bubble. It pisses me off that some dickhead in a country thousands of miles away has more of a voice in my government than I do. And then he complains about not having enough, that Americans need to join the "World Community" (only community in the world happy to have mass-murderers living in it).
After all, companies know what's best for the consumer, right?
And the Government knows better?
I'll tell ya folks, the truth is about to become muddier to the average citizen, and yet much more difficult to discern for those that actually are interested in the truth.
Only for those too cheap or lazy to plop down $10 for internet and look up the truth yourself. If you think "truth" is something you find on guardian.co.uk, then go there. If you think "truth" is something at christiansciencemonitor.com, then go there. The only thing we lose here is radio and newspapers (that are dying formats anyway) and TV (which will eventually die out when fast internet access is cheaper than cable). The internet, thank God, is still not regulated much. So cheers!
Yes, I notice a copious amounts of soldiers sleeping and eating in my house (3rd Amendment) and then following it up my taking my guns (2nd and 9th Amendments) and confiscating my socialist propaganda (1st Amendment).
They saw a graphical GUI -> make it better.
See LANs -> make it easier.
See public backlash against Microsoft -> Market self as "rebel" company.
make computer case look pretty.
See MP3 players -> make Ipod.
See online music stores -> make profitable.
They saw a graphical GUI that was un-friendly towards user and clumsy -> They made a GUI that was user friendly and simple to navigate. (The difference between the Horse-drawn carriage and the Model T)
See LANs -> fumbled the ball on Macintosh Office (AKA "Macintosh Oriface" -Jean Louis Gassee, former Apple CEO). Made up for it by adopting Ethernet.
The "public backlash against Microsoft" is backwards, my friend. You see, Apple from the BEGINNING was marketed as the "little guy", but not against Microsoft. Indeed, the original target was IBM (AKA: "Big Blue"), because it really didn't deal with individuals until Apple II became popular. When Macintosh came out, Microsoft was a piddly company in Washington that had made a killing licensing BASIC and DOS (Purchased for butt-cheap from tiny developers). They signed on with the Mac for a while, saw what they liked, and Gates SPECIFICALLY ordered his lead Mac Programmer to copy the OS ("I want Mac on the PC" are the EXACT words). The passing of the torch from IBM to Microsoft occurs primarily because of the size Microsoft now has, and the fact that Apple works with IBM now.
Yeah, they do make the case look pretty, but that's more due to focus on computer design than anything else.
Those last two are totally correct, actually. However, the iPod works so well with Macs that is it fairly fricken amazing if you see it in action, compared to many MP3 players I've see. And the online music stores thing is more of the fact that Apple saw a market that noone succeeded in and made success possible. That's actually a big step forward.
Their BIGGEST innovation, however is to have put the first computer that could be marketed to the average Joe, rather than a corporate entity, or a nerd-savant hobbyist.
Right, they're the "innovator" because they copied Xerox first for the OS
Do you even know what Xerox thought of the "Mouse"? They thought it was childplay garbage and they were prepared to treat it as such and toss it out until Jobs BOUGHT the right to look at the Alto with a deal that basically made Xerox rich as fuck. They had private shares at dirt-cheap prices that split several times over and IPO'd at around $45 a share. As for "copying", the Alto (I'm assuming you've never seen that Alto) looks and feels NOTHING like the MacOS (for one thing, it had a multi-button mouse, and the GUI was as vanilla as Breyers Ice Cream. They simply looked and tinkered with the cool buttons.
Jobs' R&D team saw a CONCEPT, took it and made a original product. There's a difference. Gates had access to the hard functional parts of the MacOS, prototypes and said "I want Mac on the PC".
FYI: One thing also "copied" from XEROX PARC- Ethernet.
Of course, of course, you think this is the only way Apple innovates. They may be taking up the path others have traveled, but they've done something that has kept the RIAA from suing them over.
The innovation referred to was in relation to the fact that if you buy something from Apple, money goes to their R&D where they find something that kicks ass.
Buy something from Microsoft and the money goes to a bank account labeled "Ballmer" and their R&D department goes out to CompUSA to see what Apple's cooking up.
Their plan sounds a whole lot like the RealOne scheme. Collection of music, can pick and choose and swap all for a monthly fee. But something sounds fishy about a monthly fee for something already on your computer. I guess that's why I never play everquest.
From what I've seen in the preview videos and such, this game will have the same STORY, but it will be very different in form and process. I believe it'll probably be more difficult ("European Extreme", please?).
Besides, I still play MGS1 from time to time, and I keep finding myself wishing I could do have the things I can do in MGS2, like aim for the head, tranq someone, or hold them up.
In the cases of Airline Black Boxes, there's a caveat that isn't around for cars: If the airplane gets into an accident and the pilot survives (another grand caveat, airplane crashes, odds are that you die and never face prosecution), he will NOT be tried in a court of law using Black Box data. Black Box data is under a 100% seal that prevents ANYONE not a part of the NTSB from checking the contents, unless they are part of the investigation.
There may be an internal inuiry, but you won't see a pilot in court for negligence.
As well, depending on what kinda data that could be collected, it could get nasty. What if they boosted memory in the vehicle to record stuff said in the car while driving. What if you were saying a dirty joke about a hispanic man and the accident was with a hispanic man?
Doesn't matter if it was really an accident, you get in trouble for "Hate Crimes". Or if you say bad stuff about some other group, the recording could be used in OTHER trials against you as evidence of "hate speech", and you could go to jail for massive crimethink.
One time I missed them, myself. I did a smart thing, knowing there are claymores on the bridge. I pulled out my M4 and strafed up the bridge. If you're on Very Easy or Easy, those'll be the only claymores there. I'm hoping, if this guy is so gimped that he missed the 4 or 5 opportunities to grab T.Goggles, he's on Very Easy.
If you are a Star Wars fan, you know the Rebellion didn't end when the second Death Star blew up. You know that the fight with the Empire continued for at least a decade after that battle.
Likewise, even if the Matrix is destroyed suddenly, all the humans inside would be killed, so logically, what could happen is having to carefully take out nodes on the breeding fields to not have to kill the people inside, or a billion other things..
Don't assume that good guys riding into the sunset means the good guys can never ride back.

I wouldn't say that FNC, CNN, and MSNBC have much credibility after the 2000 election debacle.
There are no corporate parties.
