A few questions. What effect will it have if the Iranians are successful in building the bomb
and use it to destroy 4-6 U.S cities? Will this have a significant effect on the rate of
global warming? Will the lack of these cities reduce the rate of warming because they will
no longer be creating greenhouse gases? Will global warming kill us all before the Iranians
become a threat?
Technological advances are the reason the planet has been able to sustain larger and larger numbers of people.
There is a good chance that you are here as a result of such advances. So do you get to decide now that these results
should be controlled to keep the population from increasing from current levels? Kind of like the guy who moves out to
the country builds a house and then declares that there will be no more development in the country. I've got mine but you
can't have yours. Take a flight from LA to New York and get a window seat. You can spend hours flying at 500 miles an hour
and see almost no cities. Is the planet really over populated or are some cities over populated. In the U.S. we are used to
more space per person than the folks in Tokyo. I am not trying to be insulting I am just asking you to investigate a different
perspective. If we can sustain larger numbers of people is that automatically a bad thing or is it a good thing. More people, more
scientists, more medical advances, greater potential for good? More people, more criminals, more crimes, more war? Is the glass half
empty or half full? I for one am glad that I live now with more people on the earth than at a time like the dark ages when there were much less people and things like the black plague and the spanish inquisition. The problems we face now will be history in a few decades and we will be facing new ones. If we accept the challenges of today more people like you will be able to enjoy a life like yours in the future. Is that a bad thing?
If they don't do something about customer service at Dell then my money would be on HP to stay in the lead. I have five newer Dell systems at home and at this time I wouldn't buy a keyboard from them due to my recent experience with Dell customer service. I spent five grand to get insulted by a condescending customer service staff. No thank you I will pay more for better service.
one of the technologies included in the ruling is a machine manufactured by a company in Utah that "takes out" or does not play
profanity or sex while viewing the DVD. It does not alter the content of the DVD.
How about the next time you try to leave a movie theater before the movie is finished and you get arrested for not viewing the full content of the movie. You would be in violation of the "artists" copyright because you did not view it as intended. How about that for your slippery slope.
Or maybe your ignoring this one...."Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom"

The last two companies I have worked for use Dell desktops. One company had over 17,000 and the other just over 15,000. We receive good corporate support so I have purchased 5 Dells in the last 5 years.
The home use support was good up until about 1 year or so ago. Now it sucks.
My home support experience has caused me to stop recommending Dell at work.
Will this work? I don't know but I would imagine if the decision maker ever has the same sorry support experience as I have it won't look good for Dell.
I also refrain from purchasing Dell stock for the same reason.
Treating home customers like crap and corporate customers good. Does that work for other companies?
I have purchased 5 Dells over the last 5 years for personal use but to Dell I am not a good customer.
If I were a good customer I would get good earth english support. By earth english support I mean when I am asked to "push the F1 button" and I say "Ok I have pushed the F1 buttton" the reply should not be
"No No No I said you have to push the F1 button".
This exchange went on for 5 minutes. I did not know how to rephrase the statement to get the support person to understand that I was pushing the F1 button not the F1 button.
I am treated like crap by Dell support for buying 5 Dells in 5 years. I guess I would be a good customer if I had bought "5 Dells in 5 years instead".
BYE BYE DELL!!!
We bought 2 UNIX servers last year. I am running 20 logical partitions on those 2 unix server. By some time later this year we will be running close to 30 copies of AIX (IBM UNIX). Each of these "servers" has the ability to run
160 partition or servers. So in some cases 2 UNIX servers=320.
This argument is so lame. If being poor make one commit crimes then being rich should make the rich
do good things. How do you then explain all of the poor people that do good?
Yes you are right she is not an infant just like Terry Schiavo. But that did not stop your crew from killing her.
Why is it that I don't see any of the Hollywood crowd adopting death row inmates and bringing them home? If tookie was worth saving there must be more.
Why is it that you lefties only care about murderers and pedophiles?
What is so offensive to you about babies and the handicapped?
What is so endearing to you about child rapists and butchers?
"Errr. She's 11. It's a little late to abort her, dude."
Well that will change if the the left has their way.
Some on that side like Peter Singer* are promoting the idea of infantiside.
*(Peter Singer. The Australian philosopher, a founder of the animal-rights movement, claims that infants have no moral right to live and views infanticide as an ethical act)
Hey that reminds me, Whats the exit plan for US troups in Germany? Is it 70 years or 100?
Wheres all the "Sky is falling if we dont get out of Germany" claptrap?
Just say "hang on for a second" put the phone
down and walk away.
That way you get 2-5 minutes of the telemarketers
time and it keeps them from calling someone else for that time. Its also very annoying to them.
My children are home schooled in a "Public Home School Program" That means that it is a home school program ran by the public schools.
Its called K12 and most of it is based on book learning but some of it is internet based.
The kids get 4-5 hours a day of special attention
from a loving mother and teacher.

Well coal fired plants don't exactly start up any faster. So what would you suggest? Diesel?
"Would you punch a clown in the balls?" Why do I find this so funny? I cant stop laughing.
You forgot to mention that anyone that joins the military is a retarded moron that could not finish school. According to John Kerry.

All you needed to say to me was Indian Tech Support. No HP's for me either. Thanks.

So obviosly the networks will be sued by the movie studios(companies) for showing anything but uncut versions of movies! NOT.

I bet it will be good training.
"NO ENERGY SOURCE IS FREE" I have yet to receive a bill for the miles I put on my sailboat. Is it coming soon?
Maybe they told him the sample would be coded and fed into a mainframe by the name of "The Beast / Model 666"?

'employees come first and customers second.' This explains the support I have been recieving from Dell.
