So where was the PATRIOT Act used?
Nothing that happened was done differently because of a FEDERAL act, it was the STATE police.
The police could before the PATRIOT act ask you questioned, before the PATRIOT act they could ask you to let them see or have something. So how has the PATROIT act affected you?
I have given up asking this because I never get any intelligent answer, or even a correct one because they always use something he had no knowledge about or even a reasonable expectation to know it.
But here it goes.
Where has Bush lied?
Be truthful about the definition
To utter falsehood with an intention to deceive; to say or do
that which is intended to deceive another, when he a right to
know the truth, or when morality requires a just
representation.
Not that he used information that he had every reason to believe was correct but turned out to be wrong.
The interest for this game was totally killed by movies 2 and 3.
If those movies had been half as good as matrix or even antimatrix the game would have a huge following, but that was all removed. Few people could care what happens and even less are interested in playing in that world.
Go listen to the OBL last tape, it is nothing but items copied from Micheal Moore film and former Kerry speeches. Including items that moore made up.*
Press relation wise it is great for OBL, if Bush is defeated OBL will claim that he had a major effect on the Americans and scared them into removing him. He goes from a person living in caves and being hunted by a coalation of more countries then thoses involved in WW2, to someone who told the US citizen vote for Bush and I will kill you, and they did as he said.
If Bush is reelected it is ignored, after all he was going against a huge force, business as usual.
*Not a major thing it happens all the time, however what is really sad is that the democrates are using the speech as a positive thing and quoting it as a reason to vote for Kerry. It is really pitiful when a person who was responsible for the deaths of 3000 Americans is considered a hero for what he said.
Education: Bush push and passed a major law changing education.
We are coming out of a depression, one of the shortest, no matter who wins by next year the economy will not be a major concern. Bush should get blamed for signing a bill that removed the jobs of 2 million people but too many people love the benifits from thoses people loosing thier jobs that Kerry would not even discuss it.
Fuel prices: Bush tried to get more refineries built and internal development of oil but that was all killed by people such as Senator Kerry(who in the past advocated $4.50 gallon gas prices as a good thing)
Terrorism is the MAJOR thing, because thoses people want power and after attacks such as Spain, Israel, Russia, and some pacific rim countries they know that get things going thier way by killing children. Until they are stopped we will be under attack, unless you want to do a Fortress America and say who cares to the rest of the world.
What OBL could care less about Israel. He has mentioned them in speechs 3 time in major speeches, including the latest tape and here it was more of quoting Kerry. The other times have been when we was addressing middle eastern people as a whole instead of people following him.
He is interested in ruling Saudi Arabia and putting it under a Talidan type rule under him. Read about his initial work, when Taliban was in control, and Saudi Arabian history; he was duplicating alot of what former rulers of that country did to get control.
The US becomes a problem with him because the US is backing up the current Saudi government(internally they are in bad shape, it will get really ugly when the current king dies), as the major exporter/importer stability is a huge concern. The US brings a huge bat to the game, which brings stability, read the speeches of the ruler of Qatar for examples. Remove the US watching Saudi Arabia OBL figures they will fall and he will take over.
The title of this should be Department of Homeland Security busts computer users.
Then the 90% of the messages will consist of what is homeland security doing busting innocent computer users and how President Bush had a direct involvment.
The problem with DaOC and realm vs realm play is that you are required to two or three box running it so that you can have buff bots.
You play some classes and people come up to you and ask who your main character is.
If you don't have that second character to buff you RvR will be quickly over.
He is not allowed to challenge them in court because he is not the guilty party. The guilty party is the the broadcasting company, they are the ones who are fined and they are the ones who can take it to court.
As for the FCC holding the license over thier head, that is just a cute one to tell people but has no truth. Find one instance of that happening. The closest are some off shore stations that were broadcasting into the US at what would be illegal frequencies, the company wanted to go legit and the FCC forced them to remove the illegal station before they would give initial permits.
First off the US considers you a citizen or not a citizen, thier is no such thing as dual citizen as far as the US is concened.
As a US citizen you have to pay taxes on money you earned no matter where it was earned. Now there are a few things that subtract from the amount you have to pay the US tax office.
1) If the US has an agreement with the opposing country you can subtract a portion of what you paid that country from the US taxes.
2) This is the primary benifit. If you are out of the US(your primary residence is not in the US) for 330 days of the tax year you get a deduction of up to $80,000 (can be a little higher depending on housing costs). So Bush's tax breaks do apply if you do still make enough money.
So where you really start cleaning up on money as a US citizen is by working in a country that does not have income taxes. You then get all the regular deductions plus the $80,000 and getting to keep an additional 35% of your income is really,really nice.
Use of medical experimentaion on prisoners, children, and the unknown has greatly advanced science and medicine over the past centuries, even up into past 70 year. It was only with the ideaology that this was wrong was it stopped and limits were placed and enforced on human research.
The loss of prisoners to experiment on has lowered the medical solutions that are available or has force large amounts of money and time to be waste on a cure that works on animals but not humans.
So we have john kerry saying:
"Here in America we don't sacrifice science for ideology. We are a land of discovery, a place where innovators and optimists are free to dream and explore."
You might want to say that does not apply to humans sacrifice however he also also said that "life begins at conception" and has no problem forming new human embryonic stem cell lines, so how far is it from allowing that to the greater and proven benifit that medical experimentation on prisoners will provide? The only thing holding it back is out ideology.
`Please enter the third word of page 25 now.' (or other sorts of code wheels, books, etc.)
This use to be fairly common with games back in my C64/pirating days. The only problem is that all thoses games came with a scanned copy of the manual(even had some printed in the light blue "uncopyable" print), and for thoses with wheels you got images of both parts so you could construct your own. infocom was very into doing this with thier products.
For some of the better pirate version you just got a text file with all the questions they asked and the answers, and for the very best ones they had crack the game so it auto bypassed or was changed to always ask the same question, and the answer was already in the box.
You don't use a jammer you use a RFID blocker, and they are the size of a regular RFID so you could just slip them into your wallet.
In a very basic explaination the blockers work by send all possible RFID numbers(in the billions and billions) so that readers get over wealmed and give up.
Thier is some talk that when RFID become more used that bags will have the blocker chip in them. This would allow the all benifits of RFID for the consumer but also allow privacy. Some other ideas have a keychain fob with an alert, when you are being read, so that you can switch on/off as you want.
Still remember Pascal as the last language I used where you could fit the editor, compiler, and your program on a single floppy disk.
Still keep my first pascal algorithm book, not of much use, but I'm a little sentimental.
"Unlike a dish washer wich is totally incapable of spotting a sticky bit of dirt or doing anything about it. Put a clean load in or a totally caked up load and it will do the same routine."
Around 10 year ago you could purchase them. They are for commercial purpose and they just have an on/off switch. They work by doing sample spraying where they would spray water then test the water, if it had dirt particles in it it went to the next cycle.
They also had microwaves for use for doing potatoes and reheating other food, again for commercial use. It just had 2 buttons for for potatoes one for reheat and worked on similar principles in checking the air and if found the required particles it figured the item was hot enough.
The problem with getting the kid from smallville is that the movie would be seen as being based on that version. So it would be a matter the same story line, but in the future, or risk upsetting the viewers.
The only reason to put in the last line is because of partisanship. However, since his actions effect the whole state the only way for it to be partisan is if you admit that democrate have far below the normal intelligence level of citizen of Ohio and cannot follow instructions. Since Republican out number Democrates(the state officals is run at every level by them) his action would effect them more then Democrates.
More likly the guy is just anal retentive and worried that something will happen so he is requiring that paper the correct size so that it does not jam up counting machines.
Totally agree.
When planetside was first coming out I asked the fan what the benifit it had to BF1942 and the only answer was that cheap programs would be handled at a quicker rate.
Frankly I would love a MMOFPS that had bridges/factories/etc that could be destroyed and rebuilt, which had an actually effect on the war. IE get a group of your side to a factory destroy it and that side gets a minor penalty in armor quality, blow up thier ammo factories they fire less often.
Then tie that in with maps that are actually designed to be won by one side, so that after while a side wins the a new different map is started.
Until they start doing stuff like this persistant world FPS are worthless.
Most of the problems with AC could be blamed on microsoft more then turbine. If you go read thier original info on AC2 it was going to be an improvement on AC1. After microsoft took a more active role it became a bad would be EQ, DaOC clone.
Since turbine purchased the game they have been removing alot of the macroing, other stuff of that nature and punishing/banning thoses that do expoilt them. However while combat macroing may be a problem is a shop bot a problem?
As for AC2 and building, the game is set in a post destroied world, who cares that you could not enter most of the building? There was nothing in them, nor anything that was required to be in them. Thier purpose was to was eye candy. SWG was worse then AC2 in this with huge cities with no-enter building and no one complained thier, but then again thier is alot more to complain about in SWG then the childish desire to look in empty buildings.
AC2 was a failure because microsoft wanted a DaOC/EQ game, then to top it off they released way to early before they had time to add content for even play test the classes. the reason for this was that the thinking at microsoft and turbine was that AC was never the major commerical success was that it came out after EQ. If they had come out before EQ they would of gotten that crowd, so they were rushing to be SWG. SWG put out a release date, they bet it by 1 1/2 months then SWG delayed.
Same battles you see happening with WoW/EQ2, who will be released first and in the most acceptable shape.
BTW, decal does not "reveals things not normally known to the client" the way this software works,
it is take the information already send to the client and makes it more easier to access the data by the user, the client has to have access to the data for the user to ever get it. Actually decal is more a framework that makes the stream information,both to and from the client software, more easily accessible to other people who have written decal plugins which perform the actions.
Excluding the framework, you can also find similar software in EQ, SWG, DaOC, and any MMORPG that has any population. WoW already has one and it is still in beta. Thier is no way to stop this, encryption will not work since people have access to the end user machine where the data is decrypted . Until you move all MMORPG to unmodable console boxes they will be around.
AC1 got the "Exploit Early Exploit Often" tag from when there was a bug which they determined was not a major problem they would fix it but not roll back or punish the players who benifited from it. When you have major updates every month or every 2 months this happens alot and tag sticks. As opposed to say DaOC or EQ where you have few major updates so while the same thing happens but since the happen less often it is forgotten about by the time the next one happens. CoH is starting to get the same tag because they are putting out updates before the memory of the exploites from the last one has died down.
