"Keep the NT and DOS line separate rather than trying to merge them."
The only problem with that is that the only "tock" in the NT line is Vista and the only "tick" in the DOS line is 98 (more specifically 98 2nd edition).
Are you kidding..., ME was the biggest abortion of an OS Microsoft (or anyone) has ever released by a long shot. Vista was great by comparison. Buggy as Hell, a rushed OS that should have never been released.
I wonder if it is even possible for the U.S. to return to a "pre 9/11" state/status. I loved my country back then, now, not so much. It saddens me greatly.
Could he have ever imagined the repercussions of his attack. On so many levels, from more government ie: the dept of Home land security, to the ridiculousness of what we have to go through to fly. The whole country (or at least government) running around worrying about terrorists and the incredible expense it incurs. Our image around the world.... It goes on and on. He single-handedly turned the the U.S. into a near bankrupt, joke.
Even as a Democrat, I am getting very tired of our ever expanding Government. However, requiring critical systems like power and transportation etc... to have upgraded security is kind of a no-brainer.
in just the last few years (or so it seams) we can now identify "earth like" planets. A more advance race could probably do it much better. All the sudden the thought of ET's finding us isn't so far fetched.
I don't defend my government at all, I hate a lot of the things it does. I, however, see nothing pointing to some mandate from Washington DC to rough up and/or arrest reporters.
The occupy protests started off well intentioned, but have devolved into not much more than a gathering of homeless, illiterate hippies and morons. There isn't much for "corporate media" to cover.
(off topic for a sec) Although I fundamentally agree with a lot of what the occupy movement is protesting against, it is not that simple. The occupy protests around the US and probably the world attract all the homeless/druggies/drunks and generally destroy whatever area they choose to camp out at. If they refuse to leave when they are ordered to you can't complain about them being handled roughly.
Back on topic, I think it has a lot to do with there being so many "journalists" these days. Everyone has a blog and easily can be a "reporter". At some point, with all the disruption the occupy protests cause, they just become another face in the crowd. I still say it is not part of a crackdown on "media", there is just a larger % of them getting caught in the wake of the occupy movement. This is a HUGE country and a few of these incidents aren't the big deal they are being made out to be.
The arrest of journalist Kristyna Wentz-Graff was not part of some systematic crack down on reporters/journalists. At best it was a swamped cop dealing with a large group and not noticing her credentials, at worst it was an idiot cop, maybe both. To infer, as I think the FA does, that the US is arresting journalists as part of some nation wide crackdown is completely false, or at least very misleading.
I dual boot 7 & Mint. I use FF and Chrome in both (90%+ of the time Chrome in Mint). All have inline spell check. Only IE doesn't (or didn't last time I used it), but I would think IE usage is pretty low here. Is it that hard to figure out how to turn spell check on?

Don't assume airport security adheres to any sort of logic...
Cost 6 million dollars?

What grave did you think Obama was laughing in?

You mean they weren't getting BJ's as they hacked Chrome? What kind of contest is this anyway?
Texas is pouring millions into stem cell research? OK it is official, the world is coming to an end.
The image I have in my head is horrible
Something like this?
But "with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day" (2 Peter 3:8).
Another built in generality...
I tried Mint 12 and went back to 11 because I did not like GNOME 3. Why are they saying "will" like it hasn't come out yet?
inside.. joke... overload.....

missed it by "that" much... actually 12 minutes...
If everyone with Twitter, Facebook etc post they want to "destroy America" at the same time, would DHS explode?

I accidentally modded overrated and meant underrated, so I am posting something to clear my mod. It would be nice if there was an easier way...
Huh? I... I don't know that.
