Funny thing about that is that at least half of the Republicans would be hoping McCain would skip on out so Sarah could take over. I wonder how many Democrats would rather have Joe? I bet it's a tiny fraction. Only the ones that are pissed that the USSR didn't win the cold war.;)
Ah so many love to hate on Fox News. I remember when Rather was on CBS. I didn't hate on CBS, I simply turned the channel when the CBS bullshit bandwagon came on at 6:30. Now all the liberals are upset that the right wingers have their own news channel when they've had at least 3 or 4 of them for decades.
So true. That's one stroke of genius by President Obama. By selecting Biden for VP he made sure even the KKK pray for the health of the President every night.
I bet it's a big higher than that. Even so though, I doubt that is the problem. I believe that android is just outclassed by iOS. While on phones it's not so noticeable on the tablets it's glaringly obvious. I personally want a tablet that I can just load a linux distro like Ubuntu or Slax on but most people just want what works and for most that seems to be iOS. Love 'em or hate 'em but Apple is leading the pack here. With the price point about equal they're going to rule.
Somehow I have problems equating patent extortion to human trafficking. The fact is that what MS is doing is legal. Human/gun/drug trafficking is not. Software is protected by copyright. That should be enough.
It's brilliant. They make money simply by threatening people with litigation. Pure, unadulterated genius. It doesn't matter if their shitty windows 7 phones flop, they make money if android succeeds! Man, that is innovation.
It is likely Microsoft is more frightened of Google's patent portfolio. That's the only way to thrive in the software world, you must arm yourself with thousands and thousands of vague, broad and obvious patents and then waylay all the smaller, more vigorous and innovative companies that are trying to compete with you. If you can use the courts and your patent portfolio to stifle them you can continue to make money without having to adapt to new markets.
They're nuts. It's like pissing in the ocean, just what do they think they'll accomplish? Is there anyone in any government anywhere with a brain? I look around and see people out of work, rampant crime, war, and these asshole have time for this stupid shit?
I'm wondering about this anyway. Don't the States license these plants? I know the State legislature here went round and round about the last big power plant they built here. We've got something called the Public Services Commission that decides how much they can charge for power.
I like that idea. I want a breeder reactor. Give me a few years and I'll teach those people down the road there to let their dog crap in my yard. I think a 2KT yield should do the trick.
Oh for crying out loud. While I'm sure that breathing crap is bad for you cancer and/or lung disease is not inevitable. Just like smokers that inhale 3 packs a day and live into their 80's and 90's and some die in their 40's it's all pretty much up to the physical ability of the individual's body to resist the poison. Meanwhile continuing to run the price of electricity out of sight affects everyone right now. I haven't read the actual figures on how much pollution we're talking about here but I know in the last 30 to 40 years that pollution in general where I live has pretty much been stable. Population has gone up but pollution controls have about kept pace with the growth. I'd like it to go lower, who wouldn't, but I'm not prepared to pay another 2 or 3 hundred dollars a month in electric bills to do it.
I always just call people who don't believe in God unbelievers. People who start to foam at the mouth when you mention God I call atheists. It is a sort of religion.
nice of you to pick 3 words out of the paragraph to go for. I started to reply in kind but then it's an exercise in futility. I am afraid that a prolonged discussion of theology here would start the flame war to end all flame wars. Yes there is a lot to take on faith. But then almost all people take things on faith in their daily lives. I'm constantly amazed at how many people tell me stuff that they heard and accept it as gospel, then tell me the bible was written by men. Most people have more faith in what they read in chain e-mails than in the Bible. I still remember the di-hydroxide scare from years back.
Frankly there is no way to guarantee safety. Guns exist and aren't going away. I still remember the famous liberal who pulled a gun on some kids who were in his pool. He had written many columns on the banning of guns and how they were evil yet there he was. He lived in a city where guns were illegal, pulled one on unarmed teenagers and threatened them but thanks to his status as an elite member of the media he didn't serve a day in jail. His elite liberal pals all rallied around him to defend what he did. Some people are more equal than others.

The people who vote with their wallet say you are wrong.
Facts is Facts.

I want one!
I do believe I'd fight to get it criminalized. However, comparing the morality of slaving to patent trolling is more than a stretch.

Watching the little circle go 'round and 'round.
Ah...but people who don't collect stamps seldom scream at people who do.

That old document? We just reinterpret it to mean what we wan...er....what the founders actually meant to say.
hehe....I think that's what the Supremes said there. EPA is legislated by congress to manage the situation. Whether they do it or not.....
Can't build more Dams, the greenies wont allow it. I like the idea of Solar, as soon as I come up with 30grand I'm off the grid.

Ah but the scientists push for the government to "do something" and of course taxes are mostly what governments do. Especially the federal government.
Ah...a history revisionist.

You know why! What a stupid question. Where do you think you're posting?
