    You need to video that and post it on youtube.

    My guy didn't make it dummy. Nowhere do I see Ron Paul's name on any ballot. Just because I'm not a fan of Romney doesn't make me an Obama supporter. I will say that Bush and Obama make me miss Clinton where the biggest concern was which ugly slut he was banging this week.

    I wonder if the fact that Hollyweird is heavily behind President Obama would cause ole Mitt to stick it to the MPAA if he got elected? I'd love to see their massive expenditure of money to get their man back in the oval office for another 4 years blow up in their faces. I think they'd just end up buying Romney though. At least it would hit their wallets for another few hundred million.

    Nah, it's pretty good actually. As long as stupidity amuses you there's always something to laugh at.

    I think abomination of logic, reason and ethics is the definition of government nowadays.

    I haven't watched a DVD in over 2 years. I bought a bluray player that I have never watched a movie on. In fact I only own one bluray movie and that's my wife's copy of The Sound of Music which I have bought for her on VCR tape twice, One fullscreen DVD and one widescreen DVD and now on Bluray. It's her favorite movie and she's watched it at least 100 times over the 32 years we've been married. She made me watch it 3 times but that is my limit. I actually liked it okay the first time I watched it.

    To be fair everyone in the US is a criminal. There are so many laws on the books that it is impossible to not break the law. How we got here from "That government which governs least....." is incredible. We've got laws upon laws upon laws. Seat belt laws, helmet laws, I mean the government just wants to micromanage every part of our lives. The upshot is that they've gotten so stupid and silly with it that no one gives a shit about the law. It's ridiculous and everyone knows it. I mean really, you buy a physical DVD, pop it in a linux box and watch it and they want to prosecute you? How fucking stupid. Lets attack our customers! And the ignorant fucks wonder why no one respects them.

    It doesn't matter who's nominally in charge. The puppets dance to the tune of the hands controlling the strings.

    I had never heard of him before I saw his performance at the Grammies. Damn what a performance. The guy has serious stage presence and a band with great sound. The music isn't my favorite genre but there is no denying that level of talent.

    Building sized focus is a lot better than the old "city block" sized focus.

    Actually, if you count it as a percentage of bombs and missiles fired then the track record is pretty good. Regardless it sucks to be anywhere near a modern battlefield.

    I disagree. Diplomacy is good and useful but when it fails you need a really big, big penis for the ritual dick beating contest that follows. It's not good to lose this contest.

    I admit it's hard to feel sorry for microsoft. Anytime you see a company that's been as consistently evil as someone like MS has been finally get taken down by an even bigger, meaner bully you can't help but feel a little gleeful.

  24. Re:To post something a bit to the contrary here... on Can Nokia Save Itself? · · Score: 1

    I agree with you but for a different reason. I think that MS will bully their way into the market no matter how many billions they have to bleed in the process. They can not lose out on the phone market. Their failure to realize what was up until lately will cost them big but they have the money to succeed if they have the will to spend it.

    I think Meego is part of why MS shoehorned their way into Nokia. Meego had to die at all costs.
