we have car accidents hourly would you say that our method for driving is terribly flawed? What would be the flaw? Humans ah yes thos imperfect beings, I hate to be the one to break it to you but life isn't fair, we try our best to make it as fair as possible but it isn't. My wife was in a car accident that gives her 100-200 dollars in medical bills every month for the rest of her life, the insurance company won't pay up know why, police man forgot to file a report and our lawyer is a slimeball (many more details but those are the big ones). You know what we do, pay the bills and get on with our lives, we could decide to make a crusade out to get back our money, but life is too short. But so far the company has lost hard drives at least and servers at most, any good website has back-ups and they are back up and running in by monday.
dispute the search, you can get it back you just demand it back instead of trying to make a point of being victomized (police impound cars and poeple get them back all the time). Civil suit, which will be won if you can prove wasn't valid. And the long term one elect politicians (also known as crooks) who will put up barriers to keep the police from doing their job. As far as the juristiction stuff Eng agreed to it otherwise they would be screaming right now and when you host your stuff in another country you live by their laws.
If this was not a free nation then the KGB would be at your door right now hauling you off to jail (no judge required) remember there was a judge invovled in this. Also if this wasn't a free country this website would be deemed "against party line" and banned, see China. The beautiful part about this country is that there is recourse if you're rights are violated. BTW don't say warped political leanings if you're gonna uplift welfare its had 30 years and hasn't worked yet. Lets try something else instead of trying to keepa broken system.
Should we work at developing antimatter weapons in the future? Do we need antimatter arms to keep MAD going or should we not open pandora's box and hope nobody else does? Keep in mind that if we don't know what the weapons are like we won't know how to spot them or screen the effectively.
No I'm not saying that LP's will vote for Bush after the patriot act. What I'm saying is that reps and dems don't want the idea of restricting government the way LP's do. Dems like their environmental stuff or their social programs, while the reps are more intent on "defense" which is a balance act between rights and safety. Now casting a broad net over LP's is hard since their stance vary so much, but their core stance of government independance stands in the face of any beurocrat that is trying to get "Power" instead of trying to serve the people of America.
Actually I don't see why keeping Nader quiet would be good for Bush. If you agree with Nader then you are not likely to vote for Bush. Bush would be more worried by the Libertarians. In that case both the dems and reps would go for a DOS cuz those libs are more for weakening government, and guess who is government.
Yeah how sad he should have run around raving mad screaming the sky is falling or he could have called in air strikes against asprin factories, or even better yet he could have sat there for over and hour like a useless moron (oh wait nevermind Kerry had that part covered).
Kevin would have to be a moron to do it. No matter how good the tv series is it will be slammed as not as good as the original. Expecially if you expect 3-5 seasons worth of good stuff. There is no pleasing the star wars fans.
This is a load of crap the voter vault is database of known republicans so that the republican party can do what the democrats have been doing for years rally the troops to the voting booth. Thats it, if you don't your number on the list say your democrat or state that you hate republicans they won't call you again, if you would like them to remind you to vote or anything say your republican. They take contact info, address, phone number, email and name and use only for voting purposes.
Oh and how can something be outsourced when an inside company never did it in the first place wouldn't that mean foreign competitor.
This isn't about whether or not he can throw a football, its about what he is trying to say. He is fake he is trying to show that he is an average guy when he isn't he is elitist, he doesn't relate to the average union guy, who may never had been on any football teams but know the scores for every game. Think about what they are trying convey not just what stupid things are said, otherwise you will miss what most people catch. Oh and like most of you I also was working on my computer last night instead of whatching whatever monday night football game there was, but there was a huge amount of people that did watch the game and where they would rather you not pretend to be a fan to get there vote and just be yourself.
Because people who don't care about the politics don't care, they don't want to count they don't want run for office (those positions are elected, or nominated) or work with people who do. Yeah our system isn't perfect but whats the alternative Die-bold? I prefer lots of eyes watching over backroom deals or computer control, and BTW right now lots of eyes watching is just what we got.
Actually the Harris didn't count a single vote her job is to make sure that the counties certify the results and then add their totals together. Don't think she handled more than one ballot (her own). The bigger question is who is there when the ballot goes into the box or when boxes are combined or actually put through the machines to be counted? none of these people were brought up last year and typically in Democrat districts (the ones that were complaining) they were typically manned by Democrats.
You mention support for public financing of elections, how would you stop private financing of the candidates but still allow freedom of speach? For example would Fahrenheit 9/11 classify as private financing or comercials that are critical of candidates?
Now is not the time to upgrade the entire system to Linux it is time to patch and go. But it is a good time to consider if a full system upgrade should be done, when time is not so critical. An ill planned upgrade will squash the likelyhood of linux getting a good chance. Also it would require getting a good staff of IT guys that know linux and not a bunch of MCSE's.
I'm a Photographer and get MP3 players with compact flash readers and hard drives to save my photos to while at Weddings and the like. So they aren't just for MP3's.
Free music has been available for a long time and easily available with napster. And look at what that has given us do you really think that the pop40 is the best music out there or do you think that maybe the indy stuff and the guys who know how to put on a show are the best out there, music is more then marketing its an art form and like all art forms people pay for good quality, not everyone but enoght of us will pay those artists what they have earned.
I don't know about using windows 95, but here at the nuclear facility that I work at we use not only Java but also windows. Have been using windows for some time and have to use java because that is the way Oracle is going. We have more problems with hardware issues then with the off the shelf software , but no matter what problems we get from any of it we as software developers are supposed to anticipate it and prove that we can, within reason catch the user/machine/other devices before screwing stuff up. But most of all we go through huge testing on any small addition or change to the code base, even changing color on menus requires a 10-20 signitures (never know what else could have been added on accident).

So where can we send a thank you to Verizon?
Remeber that this cost them a good deal of money to do.
I think your tinfoil hat is off center you better re-adjust

Take a look at the url "MockElection-prezdebate.html". So who are they mocking?
This is an election year

True but exit polls also said that Gore won Florida by a landslide.

I don't think you seem to understand the only people that care enough to do anything, are rooting or somebody to get into office.

Remember though that in Florida that the felon list are those on probation or parol. So they technically are still serving out their sentance.

I'm for Bush but that is funny
