    M2 client is hands down the best i've ever used. It takes some getting used to, but once you get it set up the way you like it just works, and makes perfect sense.

    Most likely because windows came out before that piece of hardware. How can they provide you with a driver for a piece of hardware that didn't exist yet? The manufacturer of the product should have provided you the driver at the time of purchase.

    Having an unsigned driver != not supported by windows. All that means is that IBM didn't want to pay microsoft to test their driver.

    I agree that there's nothing wrong with a child growing up in a "gay" household. Just like their is nothing wrong with an asian or black kid in a white household. They may devleop issues, but those are miniscule next to what they would have encountered had they not been adopted.

    So you'd rather the child live in poverty in some foriegn country with a parent who doesn't want it? Or to a poor mother who got knocked up by mistake and doesn't have the means to raise a child? Or to a family that is unfit to care for the child? In an abusive home? In foster care? In an orphanage?

    If you cared for the child you'd understand that being adopted by loving and caring gay parents puts the child in a much better situation than it was in before and you wouldn't care who the parents are. If you say that gays shouldn't adopt you simply DO NOT care about the children.

    The difference is that torture affects the welfare of other people. There can be no arguement that getting tortured is good for someone.

    With gay marriage or gay adoption there is no one getting hurt! the couple getting married isn't hurting anyone but themselves, they're not forcing others to do anything. With adoption you can not argue that the child isn't better off with the gay couple than he/she would be if he had been left alone. If it hurts the child at all to be raised by a gay couple, it is 100's of times less than the affect living in poverty with an unfit mother who doesn't want him/her.

    Ok, so then we should force all those children who gay couples adopt to live with their single mothers who don't want them, in poverty in foreign countries, or in foster homes.

    I will not argue that having gay parents might make the child a little weird, but it's a better situation than what the child was coming from.

    I wouldn't call it a finacial wreck. I have quite a bit of experience with the place as my GF is a Museum Studies grad student at the UW and interned at the UW.

    Basically, people are of the misconception that Paul Allen has something to do with the museum. Technically he doesn't. He built them a building, donated his entire collection of stuff to them, and gave them funding to get started; but then they became atonomous. They aren't doing real well right now, but what museum did well in this economy?

    There are no lack of role models for kids of both genders. Gay men and lesbian women don't live in vacuum with only people of one gender. There are aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, teachers, friends, etc. That is the worst arguement I've ever heard. Your arguement also implies that a single father or mother also can't raise children.

    If gay marriage bothers you, there is an easy solution: Don't marry someone of the same gender! Other than that, it should have no effect on you. If gay adoption makes you sick there is another easy solution: Don't let a gay couple adopt your kids! Once again you can live your life without it having any effect on you.

    You're forgetting that physical sales dwarf download sales. Wal-Mart is the largest seller of physical CD's. They can use that fact to leverage the record companies much more than apple ever could.

    technically it came out in 2002, though the DVD was the only way to see it in the states, and that wasn't released until 2003. I just recieved my copy of Infernal Affairs 2 and while not as good is still very good. I've heard bad reviews of the third movie though.

    I have to agree with Hero, though it came out in 2002, I don't think the DVD was available here until 2003. When it will be released in the US is anyone's guess. Two other movies from china/hong kong people should check out are: Shaolin Soccer and Infernal Affairs.

    Well think for a minute. Who is the largest seller of CD's in the country? Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart can use that leverage to get a better royalty rate than apple is getting. Wal-Mart then counts on high volume to make a profit. It's how they sell all their products.

    Wal-Mart can probably leverage their sales of CDs in B&M stores to get a much better royalty rate than apple could ever dream of. That's what they do with all their products.

    Best mom and pop video store on the planet is in seattle. Scarecrow Video not only carries all the movies you would expect a video store to carry, they have pretty much every foriegn release. they rent DVD's from all regions, and both PAL and NTSC.
