Bloomberg compared his proposed federal identification database to the Social Security card, insisting that such a system would not violate citizens' privacy and was not a civil liberties issue.
Lets see you are comparing a number generated for someone at birth vs. distinguishable personal genetic markers. Hmmmm.
We are not at war with the East! We have always been at war with the West. Time for two minutes of hate.
Why are so many of you surprised by this? With the recent press about all the "worlds dumbest would-be criminals" blogging about their future and past illicit exploits on MySpace, it's no wonder these two knuckleheads fell hook line and sinker.
Glad to have them out of the genepool.

I would say that just bieng able to use MS products does not make one computer literate. Could said person navigate Windows using a Command Prompt? I think computer literacy should be judged not by what is known by the person, but rather how quickly they could adapt to a new peice of software, or a different OS.
When I first began using Linux, I was dumbfounded and felt like I was just getting into computers, turned out after a week of using it I could navigate well using a term window, and even learned how to find what I was looking for.
The latter two you can do now, FS2004 pre WTC, still has the twin towers. Most any Combat FS allows for bombing runs. I have participated in an online event where over 100 sim pilots flew a mock Pearl Harbor attack, in which some survivors took part, held on the anniversary it was intented to honor those who fought and died on both sides.
The meaning is what matters, and I think this guy has about as much meaning in releasing this game as does the US honoring it's foreign [SIC] policy.
What really gets me are those "tinfoil hat types" who still swear no planes hit the buildings.
So the smilie shirts with the tie-dyed bandana bullet hole bleeding between the eyes and 5 o'clock shadow would be considered a new contribution to an existing design?
all that land and they can't figure out how to plant anything but corn
It's quite possible that growing corn yields more $$$ per acre/pound come harvest time. Not to mention corn is used in several different ways, on the cob, cream, can, pop, grits, hominy, cornmeal as opposed to say string beans.
is to buy stock in a hd manufacturer and lower the prices on thier downloads, this way they could make up the difference via the harddrive shares from all the space people will need from 4 gig movie files.
I agree and have been wondering for awhile now what Nintendo was going to do with their console.
I think Xbox 360, 360 degrees it's one revolution. I think this swayed their decision to distinguish and distance themselves from the Xbox 360 by changing the name from Nintendo Revolution to Nintendo Wii.
On a plus note anyone who watches Family Guy can now say you are going to play some "wicked yes" now.
I don't think blogging should count as journalism. Though it most definately is free speech and should be protected as such. I don't think they should have the same types of protection as recognized journalists. If a person writes in a diary does that make them a reporter? Does that put them on the same level as Melville, or Hemmingway?
I don't think it does. It's an online journal. Now if you want protections for the same things as journalism then
I seriously can't believe you people are this surprised and up in arms about this! What did you expect? Is this your first day out of school? Are you using your first pc with your very first OS? Come on people wake up, they have been doing this for years. It's called marketing. Anyone remember the Windows 3.1 to Windows 95 shift? Or is that ancient history?
Win 95 to the 98 Upgrade? Or 98 in general? What about 98 SE? WinME? Win2k? WinXP with various patch states?
I used Windows both at work and at home, I have used pretty much all the OSes long enough to know a few things about them. I prefer 3.1 over all but 2k. SE crashed on me daily. XP is a tramped up version of 2k. ME was alive for all of a week. Pre 2k, 95 was the best version, barring NT of course.
Real hard core gamers, will not ever burn a cd, and run a virus scan while gaming. They will use a second system for tasks that are too menial for a gaming rig (virus scan accepted).
I mean seriously, I don't know of anyone that would even want to burn a cd while gaming.

My statement was vague, I was able to get one cheat past PunkBuster, I had only tried the one, my statement that PB didn't work, I will change to it's not 100% effective. Though I know no AC will be 100% effective. I have found the best method for combating is vigilance, and training other members to spot them.
I am a server admin for an FPS clan, we span mulitple games and have several servers. During my time admining, I have actually downloaded and used several of the more popular cheats for the games that I play, in an effort to 1) see what I am up against 2) learn what to look for in a suspected cheat 3) check the effectiveness of our anti cheat programs. A few things I have learned that I can pass on to other server admins. 1) Punkbuster does not work! I have gotten cheats into Punkbuster enabled servers that I admin, without having my IP on any protected list. 2) You can spend 80% of your time specking people who are suspected of cheating, or you can use a cheat as a tool to help you admin. On several occasions while playing someone would make a remark about a cheat, and you go to spec, and something looks odd but the player does not seem to be cheating, you play a little more, still you are unsure about that player, so you load up a hack and spec them while you have a hack on. I have spotted several hackers without shadow of doubt using this method and spotted them in less then 5 mins. Usually after a ban this theory is confirmed by one of two things, the server either crashes shortly afterward, or they try to come back using a name like Fuckers_Ban_Me_You_Faggotts. I have found this typical of hackers in games. On most occasions I tend to err on the side of they are skilled, as I have to exit my game to install my cheat then reenter the game, this way I am not tempted to use the cheat while playing. I would much rather get a decent score from my ability than a cheat.
Not sure why the GP was modded Offtopic, Funny would have been better.
It's apparent to this user that the AC poster is obviously a closet Linux zealot.
As far as which OS is better, I'm on the fence. I like Linux for the control over the OS it offers, and I like Windows because I can play my games, about all it's good for.
Here we go again. Wasn't it posted here in the last few days about the.XXX bieng shot down again?
Seems to me this is a redherring, if there were a.XXX and all porn related material had to be there, then you would not need consumers using products or apps to block this stuff.
But let's let the government waste money and time to get whatever information they are seeking under the guise of "it's for the children".
I'm a parent myself, I have an 8 year old. My child has their own computer in their room, and it has net access. I also have a proxy server which limits the places that pc can do on the net and where it can go. It is currently setup to goto child related websites that I have browsed myself and verified the content. Why did I do this? Because it is [b]MY[/b] responsability to raise my child and know what content they are seeing.
Big brother will be moving in soon enough, I want him to enjoy some sense of personal freedom before they are all stripped away.
It costs on average $20 USD for new release DVD's.
Suppose that first run movies are simultainiously release in theaters and DVD.
Now I can either outright buy the DVD the day of release and go home and watch it in the comfort of my home, or I can shell out near $20 per person to see it in a theater where I will probably not enjoy it half as much, due to ringing cellphones crying/whining children, or chatting teens.
I seriously have not enjoyed going out to the theater since high school.
