I could say the same thing about some of the people on "your side".
Maddow, Shultz, Matthews etc.
The DIFFERENCE, is that most on YOUR side want those on MY side off the air,
and, those on MY side, could care less who on YOUR side is on the air.
We let the FREE MARKET figure out which is best. From the ratings, I'm guessing
more on MY side want to hear what "our" people are saying, than those on your side
are saying. If your people are so good & honest, why are their ratings combined, lower
than 90% of the people on our side?
Hard to argue with ratings, which I suppose is why so many on your side, including some
in the current administration, work so hard to try to get them knocked off the air.
Oh, and as for Beck leaving his 5pm show on Fox, had you bothered to LISTEN, for the last
year, he has pretty much without actually saying, he was leaving his daily show on Fox.
He makes more from his radio, endorsements etc, than he makes on the TV show, not to mention
it takes him away from his family for most of the day.
I understand that people on "your side", use names when you run out of ideas, but please keep it
civil will you?
Something seldom heard these days, or, so it seems.
When I was a kid in the 60's, I wish I had "cool parents". You know, the ones that bought their kid the newest
anything, let them stay outside and play on a nice evening instead of doing your homework & getting to bed early.
The kind that never attended a PTA, school board meeting, parent teacher conference. The kind that NEVER asked
you "what did you learn in school today?"
Nope, I didn't have one of those.
My parents were the most involved, wanted to know everything I did at school, who I was hanging around, had to be
in bed on a nice night before the sun went down if it was a school night, went to every parent teachers conference
there was. Had a blanket understanding that you didn't need to call me if you thought he needed to be spanked because
he will get two. One from the teacher, and one from me when he gets home.
I THANK GOD every day that I had, what I thought was strict parents! I run into people I went to school once in a while,
and some of them are still acting like they were in high school, plus always complaining how broke they are.
School is a two way street for the most part. You only get out of it, what you put into it.
Ah, the good ole days!
My first computer was a Compaq portable with a V20 chip, external memory card, 2 floppy drives and a whopping 2 megabyte RLL hard drive, external 2400 baud modem!
Rid the cities of "gas guzzlers" and then what?
How are you going to get goods into & out of a city? How are you going to get heavy things
around?
Once again, here is a knee-jerk reaction for something. Throw the baby out with the bath and then
run around scratching your heads on how you aren't as mobile as you use to be, but, in the great
socialist leaders (LOL) of the world...what's good for the collective, is good for the government!
Baaaaahumbug! Bunch of limp wristed idiots who couldn't run a profitable business if they tried.
Socialism stops working, when you run out of OTHER PEOPLES money to spend.
The USSR ran out of money in the late 80's, and pretty much have taken down North Korea &
Cuba. The USA is sadly heading down that road too, and will die off when it finally figures out that
you can fund the lazy butts that won't work, on the backs of the ones that do.
China is trying to run a socialistic-communist form of government, and allowing businesses to move
there for the cheap labor, and buying all the other countries debt. If/when their people get a real taste
of freedom, and once the USA is broke, and can no longer afford to buy anything from China, they
will die off also.
What are we worried about, isn't the world suppose to end in 2012? Then party like it is 2011!
Anytime I see an antique car, airplane, shoved into a museum, it makes me want to cry.
They were born to fly, not put in a museum hanging from the ceiling, but alas, it was going to
happen. The shuttles were never practical, and too expensive to fly.
So long to the STS...it was nice knowing you.
Of COURSE innovation will go down. As someone who remembers the old ma-bell days....when they came out with a phone
that WASN'T any color but black, people thought it couldn't get any better than this!
Once Ma-Bell was split, we had these neat things that came along. Cordless (landline) phones, answering machines, voice mail,
pagers (that were affordable!) and in the late 80's bag phones and then the Motorola brick! The rest, is history.
Once at&t gobbles up t-mobile (and they will...they've greased enough palms), even though they say they won't, you can bet
Verizon will throw a ton of money at Sprint to get them. Sprint's CEO says he wouldn't sell, but, you know 99.9% of the people
will take the money and run. Once you have Verizon & at&t as the only companies providing wireless service, they can come up
with a new gadget every once in a while, but with the bulk of people on contracts anyway, you won't get the churn like you did when
there were a dozen wireless providers, not to mention the cool whiz-bang devices to use.
Two things will happen, to say the least.
1. Prices will go up
2. Service will go down
On the bang for your buck argument, I'll stick with a platter hard drive. I've had laptops for what seems like forever.
I carry one in a shoulder tool bag that gets bounced around on a two wheel cart, plopped down on concrete 6-10 times
a day, and in 10 years, I think I've lost one drive. Until the price per megabyte comes down close to that of a traditional
platter drive, I'll stick with them. The technology is bang on reliable, speed is pretty good, and the "green" drives use
less current. The SSD's are still too pricy, the performance "boost" isn't that impressive.
Every 10 years or so, something happens, and the stupid public sees the movie "China syndrome" in their minds.
Even though there is a possibility of something happening, 99% of the time, nothing ever does. The plants in the USA
are so overbuilt, and are not placed in an area where a 30 foot wave of water could swamp them, the stupid public gets
its panties in a wad every time something happens overseas to a nuke plant.
If the USA wants reliable energy, then they are going to have to get it from oil...oh wait...the idiots won't let us drill for
oil. Ok, let's try coal...oh wait...the idiots won't lets us mine all of the coal we have. Ok...then there is wind & solar....
oh wait....the wind doesn't always blow & the sun doesn't always shine. Well, then there is hydro power....oh wait,
I forgot, they won't let us build dams either.
Get the picture? This country has its hands tied due to the PETA/Enviro nut jobs to the point that we can't do anything!
Well, if you won't let us build nuke plants, then freeze to death in the dark, and get over it!
than the "enviro" bags that Sun Chips had.
I'm with the rest...glass is better, but in our 24/7 disposable world, no one wanted them.
I guess if that was the only alternative, people would use them, but, they would have to be with
screw on caps.
Once again...it proves that you should say this little phrase before posting any photo online.
Would your mother approve? If the answer is no, then don't do it.
My car is 12 years old, only has 72,000 miles (thanks to my employer who gives me a car to drive!)
I've kept it because it is dependable, a MUSTANG, and PAID OFF. No car payments. My other tech toys,
the home computer is only 9 months old, which replaced a 7 year old computer, the printer is a year old,
the old one was 6 years old (died), dSLR is less than a year old (old camera was 5 years old).
My cell phone is about the only thing I replace yearly.
I replaced my regular bulbs with CFL's a few years ago...not because I'm wanting to save the earth or anything, but because I HATE
REPLACING BURNED OUT BULBS! Darn things always blow at the worst time, and you usually can't find one, which means you
steal it from somewhere else in the house, forget to buy more and then the one you swiped you'll need and won't work.
I replaced them well over 2 years ago, and haven't replaced them since.
When LED's come down to a semi-reasonable level, I'll swap out the CFL's to those.
This as*clown can't find his way out of an outhouse, and he's the one to tell everyone else what movies are acceptable, piracy and
on and on? The MPAA is outmolded, outdated, and needs to be sent to the trash bin of history.
I use a Dell Streak, (NOT 1.6, but 2.2!) and it's a great device. I don't have to dig out my laptop just to find something
on my companies website, I can read my service manuals, stored on the SD card. It's a great "little" device. Yes
I think they are overpriced, but, laptops were in the 2,000.00 (US) range not that long ago also.
I do with a new computer is to boot it up, then shut it down, pull the HD out, store it with the expiration date of the warranty,
install a new clean HD, install the OS I want and set it up the way I want. After the warranty expires, I wipe out the factory
HD, and put it on the shelf.
I love it how people just ohhh & ahhh and just go nuts when they see people like Jobs and company
take one dollar salaries, and think how good they are, how wonderful it is that they take such a low
salary. These executives are laughing all the way to the bank because they are SMART enough
to AVOID the tax man.
Amazing isn't it? Liberals want to take down things they don't like.
So much for free speech, freedom of the press, freedom of thought or
expression. They want to clamp down on things they see as a threat
to their power.
This tied as the warmest since records have been kept.
130 years worth of records, and the earth is approximately
4.54 billion years old, which is about NOTHING compared to the age
of the earth.
Couple that with stories of retreating ice melts revealing abandoned settlements
which means it was WARMER then, than now.
This man made global warming is nothing but a bunch of hogwash.
