Ah! I get it! It's expected for a Democrat to be an idiot. When it's a Republican it's funny. But really I just expect all politicians to be idiots and I'm almost never disappointed. Sometimes Sarah is ridiculous, sometimes she sounds nutty as hell but on her worst day she seldom sounds like the kind of idiot that Pelosi comes off as. Then there is Joe Biden. Picking Biden for a running mate was probably the shrewdest move that Obama could have made. It virtually guarantees no attempts at assasination. Even the KKK don't want Biden as president.
The problem is cable. Before cable news people got their carefully crafted propaganda from CBS, ABC and NBC. Now all those right wing viewpoints are out there on cable and since people can choose what to watch Fox keeps making ridiculous amounts of money. It's not fair. If they shut down FOX then things can go back to the way they are supposed to be. The people who know what's good for the country can keep spinning the news the way they want without FOX around to show another view. And while we're at it that CSPAN should go too. It's actually raw footage of events!!! A huge threat to the real truth on NBC.
You need to pay more attention. It's those in power who routinely try to shut down other's speech. Whether they are left or right seems to matter little. Power corrupts most of them it seems.
Maybe it's just the human condition, hence the founding fathers' attempts at limiting governments power.
I really drooled over the PS3. So many times I almost shelled out for one. Unfortunately Sony kept making we leery of purchasing one. I finally saw that the private key was had and began plans to buy one. Now I think maybe I'll just build a media center for my new HDTV instead. The only thing wrong with sony products is Sony.
Why.....if their source code was stolen then they don't have it anymore. If their source code is gone they will have to rewrite it. Unless they recover it somehow.
Give 'em a break. All the over educated elite are still upset that the USSR lost the cold war. They're rooting for china to succeed and win out over those evil capitalists.
Unfortunately they keep catching politicians and bureaucrats getting their pockets lined. Not all that often but the funny thing is that when they do get caught they hardly ever get any real punishment. Common theory is that they have so much dirt on their brethren that they don't dare level the boom on the ones that get caught. Maybe I'm wrong....but maybe I'm right.
They assume that you've already invested in training employees to use MS products. On top of that MS saves a lot of money when interfacing with other systems and software as you pay them to do all that for you instead of you having to figure out how to do it on your own. All have to do is pay for all your licenses and support instead of having to install free software and hire people that have brains to set it up for you. Using their figures this save you tens of thousands of dollars.
I like my privacy but really....what the hell do you carry on your phone that having the police look at it would bother you? If you're a criminal then you shouldn't be carrying around a computer loaded with evidence that can put you away. It never fails to amaze me how simple minded so many criminals are. If you've got secrets then secure them. Having them on a mobile phone is beyond stupid.
They're not clueless. They're very smart. It's just that their priorities aren't your priorities. Their priority is putting money in their pocket. Who do you figure hands out money? It's not the linux geeks I'll tell ya that much.:)
It's not capitalism. Capitalism is based on open markets. When a government mandates a certain platform that is not open. Actually....it's more like socialism.
I don't totally disagree with you. Apple didn't invent many of the things they sell. They did however improve and market them as innovative. I mean that they are innovative in how they design their products. While companies like HP and IBM and others design things that are functional but boring Apple seems to make things functional and exciting. You can hate them if you like but what they do works well for them enabling them to claim premium prices while others have to settle for thin margins.
This will cause apple stock to drop. The question is will it mean the end of innovation at apple. If not then once it is seen that apple continues to operate at the same level the stock will rebound. In that case it should be buy, buy, buy. When the panic ends and apple is still there the time to buy will be gone. In the stock world it's buy low, sell high.

Or Obama.
Really! People pay to hear Pelosi speak? Amazing!

It would only confuse those who don't know Pelosi is from California.
Exactly! sony could fuck up a wet dream.
True. It's just a shame to see such glorious hardware so deliberately crippled. The machine has great potential which sony will never let it realize.

Get it yet?

Amazing how the really bad shit always has bi-partisan support. More and more it becomes obvious that we really need a viable third party.

Nothing new...it's similar to calling a tyranical government a "people's" republic.

That's right. Freedom is a lot of trouble. Just give it up.
And yet they have so much in common.
You know, these guys are so greedy and so shortsighted, a dangerous combination. I swear they'd sell a mugger the gun to rob them with.
I can see that. Ginger was okay but the brunette was HOT!
The Professor did better than this. They pedaled a bicycle to recharge batteries on the island.
