oh come on its soooooo KDE. I dont wanna start a flame war (meh its too late) but if you know enough about linux to use gnome all the time you probably know enough to make it work for you. Almsot anyone new to linux is using KDE and althought gnome is perfectly fine on its own i think the clear choice is KDA. Saying there is too much choice in window managers is an old problem. Why dont we all move forward and think of something better to spend our time working on other than flame wars about which one eveyrone should use.
This is why this happens in the UK and not in America. You see us free Americans have a right to carry guns, lots of em, thats why muggings dont happen in America.
So what your saying is that mroe choices i have the longer it takes to choose a choice? Well hot damn stop the presses. The person who summed this up into a "law" is a fucknig genious.
Let's hope nobody wound up failing to get emergency services as a result.
You dont seriosuly believe that they managed to get everyone the help they needed. In a city as large as NYC there are non-stop calls to 911 and an outage such as this in any city would result in many people not getting the help they need.
What if you just dont like apples? The point is that if you compare Clone Wars to other TV shows you might not like it. You also might not like the SW movies when compaired to other movies. That doesn't mean you dont like movies. Personally i dont watch any tv so although this show might be great im not gunna watch it. I do however not like the new SW movies.
Many of the american pilots are on amphetamines. Most pilots on really long or late night missions use amphetamines. They use dexadrine (time released Dextro-Amphetamine) to keep them awake and alert. Dexadrine is prescribed for a lot of diagnosed ADD/ADHD people in the US. Dexadrine causes some pilots to make decisions too quickly. When a pilot has to make life and death decisions on a regular basis such as they do on some missions the Dexadrine may make them be wrong. The pilots are often worried about ground targets being a threat to the and often choose to eliminate the target instead of risking that its really an enemy SAM site.

Although Ecstasy (MDMA) is chemically similar to amphetamines it is weaker than methamphetamine which is what it is compared to sometimes. Per milligram MDMA is weaker than methamphetamine and methamphetamine users often do much more in a day. A standard dose of MDMA is 80-100mg at once and the average regular user uses Ecstasy less than once every two weeks. Methamphetamine users often snort, smoke, or inject several time that amount every couple of hours for days at a time.
Also about street Ecstasy being dangerous that is partially true. Pure Ecstasy is cut with sometimes dangerous drugs directly as a result of MDMA prohibition. If Ecstasy was legal people would get their pills from trusted govt. inspected labs which would be much safer. Also the media has made a big deal out of pills containing dangerous chemicals such as PMA which has killed people without anything else but most of the time street ecstasy is cut with caffiene or ephedrine or DXM which is in over the counter cold medication.
Its all or nothing for people like you and in some ways people like me too. If i had a 23GB mp3 collection i would settle with 15 but 20 would be better. With 15 GB i could have anything i really want becuase some of my collection is music i dont really care to listen to unless im in a particular mood. Most people however listen to the same 50 cent or britany spears cd over and over and over again. Thats not how i do it but then again i have a lot less money that all of the people who listen to music like that combined. So who is the company going to aim for?

Wouldn't settle for anything less tha 40gb? Wouldn't 15 or 20 be fine? Im sure you can select a few albums you can live without untill you can get to a computer again and change what songs are on there. I mean, do you need all couple hundred hours of your music on you when you go jogging? 4gb is plenty for most people that only want a few albums and are willing to wait untill they get home after a trip in teh car to change what they have.
The IT folks probably forced you to upgrade to make their job easier. If they replace all the machines with XP all they hafta do is troubleshoot XP. It is much easier for them than first having to figure out what os the broken machine is and then sending someone familiar with that OS and that problem to fix it. It just reduces the number of different types of errors IT will encounter.
The problem is that company's used to use their lawyers to sue when they had been wronged or to defend themselves. Now many large companies see their armies of lawyers as a potential source of revenue. If they hire a bunch of lawyers who sue the crap out of everyone and the lawyers make more then they spend they jsut become another department of the company maknig money. The difference is that they provide no goods or services and are really similar to theives in my opinion.

Oh no, companies will still do research here. There is far too much money to be made doing research in the USA. Remember that scientific research can be patented and if its not banned itll be patented. Tonight i watched a show on PBS about cancer and how a company was able to patent a gene. Thats right they patented a gene. They didn't create the gene. Its been around as long as humans have been. But they have the patent on it. Now whenever anyone wants to do anything involving that gene (which is a genetic cause of breast cancer) they get paid. Remember in this country its not the researchers that are losing its the citizens.
Drug dealers and people who commit fraud aren't going to go away becuase they can make money ding what they do. We still despise them and send them to jail when we find them.
We only benefit from the cheap labor if we are a stockholder. If we are a working for a living wage we end up losing. Why dont you consider more than a stock index when you think about an economy? Why dont you think beyond basic economics class and think about what is really important to our a country; the citizens not the corporations are what we should be supporting.
As much as a security tech doesn't want to see vulnerabilities happen they cant be totally against the fact that they exist. Its similar to how border guards dont want to see drugs in the country but without the drugs coming in they lose a job. I dont think either drugs or computer vulnerabilities are ever going to stop so why dont we just all work against these problems.
You decided to read it... and to make it worse you flamed me about it. Why would anyone want to read your flames if they dont want to read what i said?
The city i live in has an ordanence against chain resturants. I live right near Seattle on an island which has a history of putting up a fight against chains. McDonalds was able to get its way in but nothing since then has been able to untill now. Starbucks is finally moving into a safeway location here after many failed attempts. The local cafe's serve much better coffee but i am afraid that Starbucks is going to steal away many customers becuase of its conveniance. I always enjoyed not seeing a Starbucks here like i do every time i go to Seattle and now i know if one is here i doubt i will find even a small city that doesn't in the next few years.
The only time protestors are noticed is when they become violent like in Seattle, disrupt traffic or otherwise do things that are probably counter-productive to the cause they wish to promote.
I don't blame you for not knowing but people were not getting violent in Seattle during the WTO protest. I live near Seattle and although i was not there i know many people who were including my father was was taken into a holding cell for no reason and released when they realized he was a member of the BAR and they didn't want that.
Many of my friend were shot with rubber bullets and left with bruises for no reason other than being in a crowd. You might not believe me if i say this but i knew a cop who wanted to be involved just so he could shoot people doing nothing. Now im sure not al the cops there felt like that but i know there were enough to cause some trouble. There were soooo many camera's there that i would bet no act of violence was missed. When i watched on the news at night all i saw was violence but only a little but. They would loop the same two clips of people breaknig windows but it was nothing like it was portrayed on TV. EVERY single protest was peaceful and most of the police didn't do anything wrong. The problem was when someone totally unassociated with the protest went near them and starting breaking things. Then the police would go all out on the protesters. The worst part of the stores that were broken the only ones being protected were corporate stores. The assholes who were breaknig stuff did not discriminate between corporate and other stores as the media claimed. It was no protesters breaking the nike store. It was some assholes breaking anything before they were caught.
