Really? You don't dream of having a steady job and not waking up in a sweat at night wondering how you're going to pay your bills.
The union thing always seems to come up, and the people who are most against it always post on how they got their great job. In other words, they're the Kings and Queens of IT, while the peasants slave away, barely making a living. Yeah, they don't see anything wrong with that.
I have to agree. Police stopping you and finding out your actually speed from the recorder? Heaven forbid!
Now you actually have to make a choice. Either get involved in the local politics and have those speed limits changed, or obey the law and drive the speed limit.
Or you can take your chances and hope there's no one nearby when you're speeding.
Society doesn't just happen. It's formed by people getting involved in the system.
Cars don't represent freedom. Cars ARE freedom. I couldn't find a job in the town I was in. If I was in a "Car-free" I would of been screwed. No transportation to drive to another town (You think your precious bus system would do this?). I ended up tossing all my stuff in my car and driving to another STATE. All for the price of the gas and a motel room.
That's freedom.
When I lived in England for a few years, I met people who rarely traveled to major cities in their lives. And these cities are only a half-hour away by car.
Now they didn't live in car-free cities, but these places were as close as you can get to such an ideal in a 1st world country.
Eh? Sorry, the French military is joined at the hip with politics. Even if they got to help out, they would be hobbled by government leaders telling them what they can and cannot do. Until they became useless.
"Where did Sadamm's weapons come from? Hint, hint, your pal uncle sam."
Wow, the US sold Sadamm Russian tanks, German bunkers, French Intelligence, Chinese weapons and communication gear?
And I must say, the AK-47 is a fine American weapon, no matter what anyone else says.
"Your government doesn't care about how many Iraqis die - why should it?"
Ever read a history book? Read up on "The Berlin Airlift".
"Why doesn't the US intervene in dictatorships in countries without oil? What about the dictatorships that are loyal to the US? Why isn't the US waiving the flag for democracy there?"
Hey, you're right. What the US should start doing right now is invade every country that isn't a successful democracy. Wow, thanks for the suggestion! (And soon the legendary N Korean oil wells will be under the US's control!)
Anyway, if the US really didn't give a damn about the Iraqis, then it would of been very easy to take the French route. Leave Sadaam in power while earning lucrative oil contracts.
What did he do wrong? Well, mostly he didn't do much of anything. After having all the right answers when campaigning, he went on to the White House and... campaigned some more.
The liberals that I know are the most disappointed in him. "Waste of potential" is the phrase that comes up.
The current estimated death toll in Iraq is 8 million. From living under Sadamm. You know, executions.
In a country of 24 million people.
So, the question should be, "Is it totally unreasonable for France to put it's financial interests against supporting a dictator who slaughters his own people?"
That rocks, where can I find a blue laser burner and blue laser media?
Storage space will continue going upward. So, now that you have 30 gig of space for music, would you rather have 50 hours of max quality music, or 500 hours of MP3 quality music?
Saving at 320kbps seems like a waste of space to me.
Under which OS? I was able to get things working pretty quickly under Windows. It was only when I had to upgrade to Apache 2.x to use some features that were still in beta, did I have any problems.
(shrug) That what you get when you start using non-stable releases.

"Can you name any items where the barcode is integrated in such a manner?"
Books.
Yes, if they take you to court and you say "Yes I signed that contract
If it's legal, well, that's a whole other story.

They never do.
Yes, at least you weren't killed.
I'm amazed that you can equate "Not getting a job" to "Being killed for saying something the government doens't like."
Awwwww! You've been labeled!
Yeah, I can see the comparison between being labeled unpatriotic versus being killed.
I have to agree. Police stopping you and finding out your actually speed from the recorder? Heaven forbid!

Gasp!
RC cola rocks! Surely, I'm not the only one who buys it?
Surely?
Oh hell no. I'm not in favor of rushing kids though childhood. But you should be a young adult by the time you're 16 (And treated like one).
And my statement was more of a rant agaist people trying to keep kids from growing up.
And I hated after school sports. Small school, I was on a team for every season.
feh. You know what the smackeroos to dollar exchange rate is?!
Agreed. I don't see what this has to do with my statement though.
Hurried though childhood? Throughout history kids starting working and helping out the family as soon as they were able.
Only recently has society retarded the mental growth of kids to keep them stuipd and dependant on their parents as long as possible.
"Yogi Bear, Godzilla (ack!),Snagglepus, Atomic Ant, the Tom and Jerry from..."
That's Atom Ant...
Gah. I don't believe I'm correcting you on this.
So, I'll say what I REALLY wanted to do is mention another great cartoon. Invader Zim.
Eh? Sorry, the French military is joined at the hip with politics. Even if they got to help out, they would be hobbled by government leaders telling them what they can and cannot do. Until they became useless.
The US learned that lesson in Viet Nam.

Heh, nice try.
But the "International Criminal Court" has nothing to do with Diplomacy.
Unless you can alter the outcome of the courts decisions though diplomatic means?
Conclusion:
You are very, very short.
What did he do wrong? Well, mostly he didn't do much of anything. After having all the right answers when campaigning, he went on to the White House and... campaigned some more.

Heh, The ASVAB wasn't that hard dude. I did the same thing.
:)
The true test of intelligence was what you did next, did you join the AF or the Navy?
"I hold the American people responsible for the crimes the American government have committed and are committing in other countries."
Sure you do.
In case that doesn't translate well, what I'm saying is "You'll sit there and bitch and whine and make threating statements and do nothing."
In a country of 24 million people.
So, the question should be, "Is it totally unreasonable for France to put it's financial interests against supporting a dictator who slaughters his own people?"
Committee of the Missing
No, it's not. It's very reasonable. After all, it's not Frenchmen who are dying.
"Absorb Iraq? Would that not contravene international law?"
When the UN actually starts enforcing it's rules, I'll give a damn.
You have a blue laser DVD?
That rocks, where can I find a blue laser burner and blue laser media?

(shrug) That what you get when you start using non-stable releases.
Of course you can't match on that price. It's impossible to get processors that slow in a new machine these days.
A single 3.06 is twice as fast as the fastest dual Mac.
