Is this the same Richard Clarke who contradicted himself constantly on when the Bush administration decided on a proactive approach to al-Qaida? Administration records show April 2001 which he initially agreed with. Then he had a book to sell and it suddenly became September 10.
Even Time Magazine couldn't pimp his book for him after they found numerous questions of credibility and outright partisanship.
I watch it every week but to call CSI anywhere near realistic is silly. Apparently in the world of the various CSI series, police officers do not investigate crimes and psychologists do not profile and evaluate suspects. The CSIs apparently do everything but arrest people and try them.
That and I doubt many municipal crime labs have the technology that any of the CSI labs have.
The university I went to back in the early to mid 90s refused to upgrade to the WPWindows version despite the quiet clamor by many to "get into the 90s" with the Windows version. They stuck with the MS-DOS version as well.
I don't know if Microsoft engaged in anti-competitive behavior but I do know that Novell probably nailed the coffin shut themselves with Word Perfect for Windows. That early implementation was so horrible switching to Word was an act of self-preservation.
What a load of horseshit. Sorry for the language but that's the way I feel. Although bloggers may have posted the exit poll data and declared the likelihood of a Kerry win last week, the mainstream media also screwed up. The reason why they refused to call Ohio for Bush despite the fact that it was obvious to everyone that he had won it was because their exit data showed a Kerry win.
That's why they declared states like Michigan (with a little over 80 per cent returns in) for Kerry despite the fact that less data had come in for those electoral votes then had for Ohio (where they refused to declare with over 95 per cent of returns in). Their exit data confirmed a Kerry win in Michigan but not in Ohio. They were blinded by their own faulty data and refused to acknowledge the Bush victory in Ohio.
The real story isn't that bloggers blew it by reporting the faulty exit data that the mainstream media paid for, the real story is how that data could show six states going for Kerry that ended up going for Bush. That's the real scandal, the one that the media has ignored in favor of blasting a few people who posted exist data. How did six exit polls get fucked up. Did monkeys do their surveying?
I can't speak for others but I have never gotten Thunderbird to work properly with Sunbird. I have tried with the past few versions and the avialable extensions and it never goes. Pity.
Exactly. What I find strange is that we're talking about the idea of improving "efficiency" on the battlefield as if it's a good thing. War should be difficult. It shouldn't be a cakewalk to go in and kill a bunch of people. Killing people, especially innocent civilians, SHOULD be difficult, if not because your conscience is stopping you, then maybe because the technology has problems, or it's not practical..
Spoken like a man who never carried a rifle for his country.
That's the second time you've said that in the same debate. It's no more convincing the same time around, particularly when it spotlights your clear lack of understanding that "rights" and "social contracts" really are.
Does that mean your right to life is merely a clause in a fuzzy social convention?

If having massive infrastructure to support downloads was cheap, Apple would be making more than a marginal profit.
No, you fucking idiot, that would mean that Bill Gates really is an expert on security issues. Tony Soprano, after all, manages to avoid the law and maintain order. Does Bill Gates produce secure software?
Tony Soprano would arguably be an authority on both law and order, considering his different kinds of experience in avoiding the law and maintaining order.
I'm not one for conspiracy theories -- even ones involving Microsoft or the U.S. government -- but I have to agree with you on this one. I don't trust anyone enough to go along with the kind of stuff that Google Desktop asks of a user.
Marc Andreeson invented the idea of a web browser? Wow, I have to wonder what the people who actually invented the web browsers (at least two of them) before Andreeson even knew what the web was have to say about that.

If you use Windows there is this.

And he's be busy trying to make money off of it just like he did with the London Stock Market.
I think every class in every university (and some in high school) over the past five decades has done that experiment.

I'm guessing this is another case of Slashdot not knowing what the fuck they're talking about.

Ah, another one that confuses words and actions. Google has done enough to make me leery of their "good" path.

That's why female Mac users sleep with male Wintel users. Why have a beautiful Mac and settle for an ugly man?
The joke explained was no funnier than the joke itself.

I'm rather surprised that you Yanks don't have more Sony Stores. We've had one in the crappy small northern Ontario city for years now.
Bravo, if I had mod points as well you'd get one.

Every generation only produces a few amazing bands.
