    TSA servers the purpose, it was designed to serve, very well. If the TSA were to be put in-charge of nuclear material and made clear of its purpose, I am sure it will do well.

    Say what? So you're telling me that they won't steal nuclear material and when caught try to blame it on the wife?

    They won't stop. They will demand we hand him over so they can slowly behead him and post that on the internet then drag his body though the streets and hang it from some bridge.

    If I made the rules, the person that made the character first. Only rule I would include is that you must be at least n level. n being something around 10 or 20. Depends on the game and how fast you can level. In WoW getting to level 20 can be done in a few hours.

    If your character was created before the other and was a higher level then you should take priority and get to keep your name. How hard is that to understand?

    2. U.S. soldiers kill people because they have resources the U.S. needs.

    I never could understand this argument. If they would act like mature modern day people and just do business like other middle eastern nations, they would be rich beyond their dreams and no one would be dieing. Instead they still live in the 9th century.

    Knock on wood, I haven't seen a BSOD on any of my Win7 installs yet and I've been running it for about 2.5 years. Also what bloat? Honestly there isn't any on a good install. Unless you're installing a Server version with every service possible on what will be used as a workstation, there isn't any bloat with a fresh install. Now on the other hand, if you install any Symantec products such as Nortan Antivirus, yeah you're screwed then with bloat.

    Maybe you have some hardware problems? Buying those cheap Chinese computer parts maybe?

    That's what I do. I'll sit and program for about 60-90 minutes then get up and take ~5 minute walk around the office and chat with co-workers or step outside to get some fresh air. Works out nicely.

    That I get tired of standing and want to sit down... That's my take.

    They are nice for a workbench but not a computer desk unless you're always moving between several different stations. Stock Market stuff comes to mind.

    In the end, sitting for 9 hours is bad but also standing for 9 hours is bad. Need to find that middle road and balance it out.

    I'm guessing you say that about everyone that doesn't agree with your point of view.

    "A person who believes in the doctrine of free will" (by definition) isn't anything like the "right" or "conservative". It's what it says, people who like free will. A Libertarian is also someone who can think more for them self unlike the far "left" and far "right" brainwashed groups lead around on a leash by the media.

    I guess you don't recall them being big in the 1980's assuming you were even born yet. They pretty much fell off the map when cheaper PC clones flooded the market. They tried to sue Microsoft but it didn't really do any good. Now they have (or had) another market nitch and well clones that are cheaper (and better in my opinion) are flooding the market and Apple is trying to do anything and everything to stop it this time.

    But has any other CEO ever openly stated they will do anything to destroy another company or product?

    The Article.

    I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this.

    I don't want your money. If you offer me $5 billion, I won't want it. I've got plenty of money. I want you to stop using our ideas in Android, that's all I want.

    The way I see it, Apple is scared. They have NOTHING new up their sleeve. The iPhone really hasn't changed much over since the first one. The shape, the display and a little more powerful is all. Other then that the iOS has generally stayed the same. Look at Android changes since version 1.2. Each one is a massive improvement on speed, interface and useability.

    If Apple wants to compete then they need to do two things:
    1. Lower the prices of their products. Paying 30-75% more for a product that looks pretty and has a fancy glowing Apple logo isn't worth it.
    2. Make a version of their desktop OS that can also run on a PC and sell that straight out.

    When site review makes comments such as "The back is actually squishy, and you can feel it deform while holding it." I start taking everything else with a grain of salt. To tell if this is true just drive to a store that has them on display and see for yourself.

    This is why I also ignore ALL movie critics. They never see things the same as I do.

    True however there is a LOT of information here. Most people won't spend the time to pick though it. They will just assume they are in the clear because their bank claims they are "certified and accredited". =)

  18. Notify ISP's to Notify Infected Customers? on Inside the Grum Botnet · · Score: 1

    Why can't they get the IP's of most of the infected computer, send those IP's w/time stamps to ISP's and require those ISP's to send letters to the infected customers letting them know that they help assist in sending billions of email SPAM and to get their computer cleaned? Maybe it will scare some people that feel they aren't vulnerable into realizing they are.

    I donno, it's a thought. I'm sure something could be improved upon that.

    I on the other hand prefer having the freedom to do MORE with my Android phone. I use to have an iPhone and will never go back to that POS locked down for a baby device. A phone IS a computer and you treat it the same. You don't just go installing anything and everything on your computer do you?
