I don't want my vote to be anonymous. The fraud at the ballot box is out of hand in the US, similar to that of many "third world" countries. With the new digital age the opportunities for fraud have been magnified to an incredible degree with the ability to change or eliminate thousands of votes electronically. I think if you want an anonymous vote you should be able to vote on paper and if not then a verifiable digital vote. Leave the option to the voter. I'll vote online only if it's not anonymous. One thing, no fucking chads.
That would be nice. I'm guessing they have no plans to include South Georgia in their coverage area in the near future though. I get internet from a local cable company and they're pretty good compared to what they have North of me in Macon. They've got Cox cable who are some seriously greedy bastards. My cable company is pretty limited by the fact they cover such a rural area. I'm paying 100 dollars a month for 75/5 speeds which is high but service is great.
I know that it was a long time after 1080p was introduced before there was much to watch. I finally upgraded to a 1080p TV when I noticed I couldn't see the score during live televised football games. Even then a lot of the shows I saw weren't 1080. I do love HD though and I know I'll be wanting a 4K system sooner or later. I just like to wait until it's economically reasonable. Right now I have a 500GB data cap and I think 4K would eat that up pretty quick.
My granddaughters do that. They'll watch a show then rewind it and watch it again. Sometimes 3 or 4 times. I bet they've watched Tangled at least 200 times.
I've never heard of quality well installed asphalt shingles not lasting at least 15 years. My Dad's last install lasted almost 25 and I know the last house I had shingled was in 1995 and although I sold it 6 years ago I just drove by it a month ago and it still has the same shingles on it. I've seen shingles fail through bad installation practices. The set I installed in 95 I sat and watched the men installing it and when they pulled the old roof they started to drive the roofing tacks into the wood. I jumped all over them and made them pull those. Nails will work their way out of wood and cause leaks after time and I wasn't having that. You have to watch contractors because so often the problems they cause wont show for a decade or more and they know it.
I had an Amiga 500 that I used to amaze people with. It had a total of 1MB of ram installed and I had a 3.5 inch floppy disk that would load the OS, a TCP/IP stack with PPP dialer and an IRC client. I could hook it to my 14.4 US Robotics courier modem, dial into my ISP and go online with IRC client. No hard drive needed all off one single floppy. Many nights hanging out in #amiga_warez on Galaxynet.
I think you're right, if I lived in a city an electric car would be great. In a few years they'll probably be at the level where it would make sense for me too. Maybe in 5 or so years. Battery technology continues to improve.
I couldn't survive with a 40 mile range. I really would like at least 200 miles so that I never have to sweat it. For cross country driving I think it's still gas only for me. I'll think about an electric vehicle when I can drive 300 miles on a charge and recharge it in an hour or less.
You know, they aren't going to saw Kim's head off with a dull knife. As bad as I deplore the abuse of the law by US prosecutors to compare it to some group of savages picking people at random to slaughter is insane. To think it's in any way comparable demonstrates that you are fucking crazy. In the end of all this crap I'd bet Kim ends up back home minus some property but alive and although he should be presumed innocent by the courts you, I, him and everyone else knows he's guilty as hell.
Ah, but they are redefining the Constitution by appointing judges who feel they should use the bench to legislate by interpreting so as to allow whatever the government wants to do.
Yet another reason to oppose the TPP. What I've never understood about the civil theft thing is what part of the Constitution allows them to steal property from someone without even filing charges, much less a conviction. If they had dragged this guy into a US court and convicted him then I can see them taking his stuff as it would be proven to be ill gotten gains. Instead they just come take it all and then they might or might not try and convict him. I wonder where they get the right to do that?
Why would you call Hilliary psychotic? Corrupt and dishonest as hell but she seems sane enough. I'm not that sure about Trump although his psychosis might just be an act.
Truly it's not a very humane system he proposes. The problem is that dealing with druggies is extremely frustrating. My nephew drove my brother half crazy before he finally had it with him and threw his 30 year old son out on the street. Eventually, after you've mortgaged everything you own and sent them to rehab countless times they will break you. And that's with your own flesh and blood that you love more than yourself. I understand the AC's frustrated proposal even if I don't agree with it. Drugs are a terrible curse on families and society but sometimes there is nothing you can do to save people from themselves and dealing with the trauma is unbelievably expensive.
I've listened to people rant and rave about US presidents since LBJ. Everyone of them had people that said they were "the worst ever." I mostly agree with you but seriously W. Bush was a bad leader. His response to almost everything was awful. I really resent Bush more because I voted for him the first time around. I hoped he would do better but he ended up being a disaster. How can someone claim to be a conservative and grow government like that?
As an avid anti-Obama person I can't say that I really care. As much as I think he's been a poor excuse for a president, almost as bad as his predecessor, he's still the President of the United States. I think the office deserves respect even if the person holding it doesn't. If people can't express their displeasure without nasty, obscene and abusive language then I feel Twitter should censor them. If they want to practice their first amendment rights it is not incumbent upon Twitter to allow them a platform for it.
I have a 5 year old Mac and I haven't upgraded for 2 reasons. One is that it still works great and is fast enough. Two is that I don't really like the new Macs. I have have an old Dell 6500 that runs Linux really well that I use for everyday computing and an i7 mac mini for video editing. The Dell seems awesome since I put Peppermint OS on it. It doesn't really show it's age at all until I try to transcode video on it.
The number one thing the 16 had going for it was that it was dirt cheap. Very fast, very maneuverable and very good at dropping bombs as the Israelis showed time and time again. It also has the USAF's worst safety record by far. They crash at an alarming rate. Look at last month, 5 lawn darts hit the ground killing 3 airmen. The simple fact is that single engine jets have a low survivability rate. The 35 is much, much more complex and there sits that one engine. So damn expensive and when it breaks you can't pull to the side and pop the hood. All you can do is grab the ejection handle and leave. Depending on who you talk to that ejection will leave somewhere between 100-200 million bucks plummeting to earth.

Is there really that much stuff in 4K to watch?

Some ppl are special and Polanski is one of those. Things like rape are of no consequence to someone like him.

W and Bill stoners? Sure, but Obama? I'm not so sure about that.
He seems like he can hand it out about as well as he takes it.

You can't scrutinize something without being respectful? Or at least civil?

The only reason this got caught was because of a drug bust. I say it's really a money laundering scheme for drug kingpins. Isn't that life in prison?
They make a ton of money selling computers. It's incredibly profitable. Why do you think they would stop?
Just out of curiosity what doesn't "just work" on your Mac?
