The solution to the problem of file sharing is very simple. All they need do is put a government program on the computer that monitors everything the user does and reports to the people assigned to monitor the citizens. Better yet would be to build this into the government mandated operating system or even better, government mandated hardware dongle. Problem solved. After all, no one's under the delusion that they have a right to privacy anymore, right?
Students bring tons of money into an area. This fool is going to drive the students to another city. Heh....I wonder if he talked it over with the Universities before he did it?
As can be seen we really only have one party in Washington. The money party. It's a smoke and mirrors thing. They use ideology to divide and confuse the public while they take our money. It's been working well for them. I sometimes think no one in Washington D.C. believes in anything.....I hope I'm wrong...but I don't think so.
Why would anyone be shocked by something like this? It's not like it hasn't happened before. One thing about LIberals and Conservatives, they both like control. Their idealogies may not be the same but their methods aren't that different.
capitalists don't take my money. I give it voluntarily in return for goods and services. Big Gov takes my money and does all kinds of things with it. Some good; roads, defense, law enforcement...you know...all those things that benefit everyone. Then they do things like bailing out car companies, banks, insurance companies.....things that help a certain subset of people they care about deeply, lobbyists.
The States can make amendments too. They can take away power from congress or limit it. The States wrote the constitution to give birth to the federal government. Two thirds of them together can take any and all of the authority away from the federals.
I rely on me to provide for me. Government isn't about compassion either. It's about control. We've pretty much abandoned the intent of the constitution. The federals were never supposed to have this much power. I think it's time for the States to step up and take some of this power away from them.
I keep hearing that stuff about the AT&T network. The only thing I really hate about AT&T is the service, the network works great. I get no drops and great coverage. As long as I don't need to call the idiots about anything it's good. Of course my experience with verizon was pretty much the same. Coverage was good but their customer service was pretty much shit too. I dunno...maybe I'm too old. I remember when companies considered the people that bought their service as customers...not consumers.
heh...I hate to admit it but I don't really think they're all crazy. I just think they take themselves so seriously. It's like a religion....or a cult maybe. Their sense of humor is gone and I can't resist baiting them even when I think they may have a point.
Well that all depends doesn't it? How much more is the initial cost? How much less power does the device use? We got to have the figures to do the math.
I didn't see where he stated that we could just consume our way out of this crisis. He stated that the green fanatics think that despite "a growing population" that we can just conserve our way out of this crisis. You went off on the rant about consumption.
Efficiency is good but sometimes the loons like to spend billions to save a few thousand dollars. It might not be the case here, I haven't looked at their numbers. Eventually you get to a point where more efficiency becomes prohibitively expensive. Tree huggers for the most part don't seem to believe that.
Sad to see you marked troll. Actually that's exactly true. All they care about is if it works. Security is the very last thing on their mind. Once I move people to Firefox they generally are very happy with it but they are always scared to leave what they know. Once they've used firefox though they never want to use IE again.

Don't confuse the issue with facts.

Six dollars is far more than windoze is worth. I know it's flamebait but I just couldn't help myself.

Fair enough. Barring execution they should spend the rest of their lives in prison.
BULL! Straight BULLSHIT! To compare race to someone who chooses to brutally murder and mutilate a person. SHAME! Shame on you!
If they had received what they deserved for their crime then this whole argument would be irrelevant.

Until you run out of other peoples money.
STOP! Illegal use of logic! This will not be tolerated.
Dude....criminal penalties generally means Jail. Don't pay...go to JAIL. duh!
The more we become like the rest of the world the less American we are.

Why bother? Intel is just as nasty as M$. If they couldn't make microsoft behave why do they think they can make Intel do right?

Wanting all the market for themselves? That's greed. Pure and simple.
I'm thinking that IE users' primary concern is not security or they'd be using something else to begin with.
