Is a POLITICAL GROUP of idiots...
Bureau of ATOMIC scientist getting involved in (man made) so called climate change?
What a joke...anyone that takes that group of morons seriously, shouldn't be allowed to
vote.
Climate change LOL....anything other than the sun does not affect the climate...PERIOD.
Sure hope they aren't on a at&t or Verizon data plan! LOL.
The I.T. guy at our office says we use to much bandwith.
I sent him this, said we don't use THAT much, so hush;)
The problem with a huge bureaucratic octopus like the government, is that there are so many idiots
that have to have their thumbs in the pie, that by the time everyone signs off on it, the project is 10+
years behind and the hardware & software is out of date.
The FAA has been trying to replace radar systems at airport centers for a long time and when they are
about to install it, they find out it's 20 years old and try to update it, starting the cycle again and again.
Here we go again. ANYTHING to stop the USA from becoming more energy independent.
This one will rank up there with save the whales, man made global warming, banning incandescent light
bulbs etc.
Now we'll have the dopes in congress along with Hussein Obama banning this technology, which will
stop the job boom in the Dakota's (red state).
I refuse to let the "cable guy" inside my house. If I have a problem, I tell them to check it to the connection point
coming into the house. I'll take it from there. "But we need to bla bla bla". No, you don't!
I don't want you touching one key on my computer...PERIOD! Seen way to many people have computers screwed
up by "cable installers", who have no clue what they are doing. If you have a signal getting to the junction box,
I can handle it from there. I wouldn't even let them install my cable gateway (I hate the term modem). I said unless
I can pick up the box myself & install it....I'll just go with something else.
Needs to be overhauled. Daily I see people park in those spots and sprint into the stores. Now they may have them for
elderly parents or what not, but, I really can't see the DMV giving out those placards as "handicap" for a MENTAL handicap!
Doctors write scripts for people who do not need these things. At one university, the "who's who" people, when there is
a concert, basketball game etc, clog up the handicap parking with their SUV's, caddy's etc.
The first time it fails to automatically correct, or for whatever reason there is a car crash, you
can expect lawsuits plenty.
Instead of taking PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, we rely on technology, or try to LOL.
The only way we as citizens can defeat this crap is to keep up the pressure.
Anyone who thinks this is about piracy, is just nuts. It's all about control.
Those IN POWER want to shut down the common man, who up til now has had
use of the internet free & clear of speech regulations. Hell, about 70% of the stuff
on the net, I don't care for. But, I think opinions are needs, even if I don't agree
with them. I know a lot on/. aren't from or in America, but there are still a few of us
out there that BELIEVE what the first amendment of the U.S. constitution says.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
What part of MAKE NO LAW do these brain dead morons not understand.
They go to congress, and are let in on a little secret club. Laws don't apply to them (such as insider trading).
They go there, and in a few short years, making only 175,000 dollars per year, come out MILLIONAIRES.
Explain that one.
If I were Verizon's millions of customers, I'd mail every bill to Verizon, and see how long it would take for them to drop
this "convenience" fee because processing a paper bill, processing & lag time on a check would be more expensive than
doing it electronically.
Thanks to regulators, allowing AT&T & Verizon to gobble up the competition, this is what you get with a duopoly.
You know XDA, Modaco or some other site will port it. Just because the manufacturer won't, doesn't mean it won't get it.
It is just that the majority of users probably could care less if it has the latest & greatest.
Also, it goes against the business model of most manufacturers, carriers, to update their devices. Why would anyone go
out and get a new device, if they can update it with all the latest bells & whistles.
I know my just now retired Dell Streak (Just got a Galaxy Note, it smokes the streak), came with Android 1.6....Between
Dell & at&t, the 2.x release was VERY late in coming, so I just rooted it and did it myself.
When Gingerbread came along, I didn't update mine. After reading countless stories of this rom works except for this, or
that rom works except for that, I just left it alone with a customized official 2.2.2
I just don't think the hardware was up for it, which, is a small way is what Samsung is saying...perhaps the older version
doesn't have the necessary resources to handle ICS.
I just wish the United States wireless companies would take that attitude.
You provide the service, and if I want to bring MY phone (providing it is compatible with their network),
I should be allowed to. Just look at the hoops some are having to do to convince at&t that the Samsung
Galaxy Note is a PHONE as well as a tablet. Some are getting data turned off because the Death Star
sees the Note as a tablet, not a phone.
Ok, you are a venture capitalist....someone brings an idea to you.
Hey, here we have 3 NASA space shuttles, designed 40 years ago, that pretty much have to be rebuilt
after every use, are only able to get into low space orbit, costs millions per mile to fly.
Would you be interested in throwing some money into this investment, to fly people & maybe small
objects into space?
They would be laughed out of the office!
Wouldn't it be better, since there isn't a d*mn thing we can do to stop it, to NOT KNOW if some stupid
asteroid is going to wipe us out like the dinosaurs? We'd just run around like a bunch of idiots doing the
rape, pillage and plunder, and for what? Nothing. How about NOT telling us anything, and we'd just wonder
why the sky is getting so dark, then BOOM! We'll all toast.;)
I use to use a cooler on my old P4 HT computer...back when I played video games.
Computer ran almost 5 years, without a hitch, til it was time to retire it. It was a HUGE
external affair, with two big cooling tubes. Loud, but under no load or full load, the CPU temp
hardly ever moved 5 degrees one way or the other. I think that is the ideal thing for a cooler.
Keeping the CPU stable and not the up & down temperature swings, I think, keeps a CPU running
longer.
I don't play RPG or FS games any more, so when I got a quad core CPU, I just use the stock
cooler/heat sink.
Does it NOT say on toys that they should be kept away from those under______age?
Then it is the responsibility of the PARENTS to insure no one under that prescribed age is
allowed to be around such toys. Here we go again...there will be endless class action lawsuits,
and we'll have to endure more stupid "if you or a loved one has been injured while playing with X toy,
call the law offices of we sue and make tons of money".
I've gotten so sick of the stupidity of the average human that sometimes I wish a huge asteroid would
wipe the whole thing out so nature & god can start all over. People wonder why intelligent life in outer space
has not contacted us. Well, when you see stories about how adults are so stupid as to allow a small child
anywhere near something they can put into their mouth, then you know why they steer clear of the planet Earth.
Considering most people that have jobs, are dependent on their jobs, etc,
a lot of people will do what they can to get OUT of jury duty, due to the monetary
loss associated with missing work anywhere from a day, to a month.
Would you want your fate determined by 12 people who aren't smart enough to
get out of jury duty? If I found myself in that fate, I'd ask for a bench trial.
All these worlds
Are yours except
Europa
Attempt no
Landing there
Use them together
Use them in peace........
Better not hack them off, Jupiter will disappear & turn into another sun LOL.
I have a few work related MS apps that I have to run, plus I need the power of a laptop for Photoshop.
I carry it in a (with the laptop) 50 pound tool bag I sling over my shoulder anyway.
Also, perhaps the fact that the "network" shows STINK!
Every stupid show that you tune into, be it on network or cable/satellite,
has the word "reality" in the title. Cheap to make, and for some stupid
reason the bulk of the fat a** idiots out there tune into this garbage.
Have access to the same information, BUT, they audit everything you run, so, if you run someone
that you had no business accessing...they will call you on the carpet for it.
Sounds like the DMV in New Jersey needs to beef up its way of doing business.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
People want to remain safe, but in a free society, you have to accept that unless you go to a police state,
you can never truly be safe, and, even in a police state, you are always in fear of that state.
One of the better photography sites. Check their user forums.
Hit the "beginners questions" forum to start, then when you find a camera you think you might be interested
in, hit the specific user group for that camera, and you can get opinions from people that actually have the
camera.
I've been on dpreview.com for years. Great place to discuss ideas, get opinions, reviews, tips, tricks.
I've had cameras since the late 70's, starting out with my trusty ole Canon AE-1. Then in the early 2000's
I started tinkering around with digital. Every couple years, I would sell what I had, and get a more complex
camera, ending up with a Panasonic FZ-50 in 2006, and used it until May last year when I got my present
camera, Nikon D-5000.

Until he got cancer. Sorry anyone gets cancer, but I wonder if he "found god" before he passed away. For his sake, I hope he made peace with god.
