If I didn't have speech recognition on my powerbook...I couldn't tell it to turn the lights on or off. Jesus...are you saying I should get off my lazy ass and actually hit a light switch?
Informative my ass. Many people were turned away from the polls. Many people were removed from voter lists because they were likely to vote democratic.
What I find funny is that even after these tactics, it was a close election with Bush nearly not winning. Bush stole the white house.
The state of US Elections is pretty bad. It stands to get worse with electronic voting.
Midrange is the best value

The problem is, Joe thinks he needs the biggest and the best today, just so his computer will work next year. He pays a premium for his brand new computer, and it still becomes outdated. Midrange systems are by far the best value. You save enough buying midrange, that you can afford another midrange system in a year or two. Then you have the benefit of two computers.
With the crappy quality in most PC parts...the thing won't even last two or three years.
is a potential goldmine for a terrorist organisation
Like America?:-)
The symbolism of using an American nuke to make the material for its own nuclear device, dirty bomb, or whatever against the very people that built it would be just the kind of thing that Al Qaeda would love.
Yes, I'm a fan of irony as well. We build bombs to protect us from the people who use our bombs to kill us! Brilliant!
I really doubt in a nation filled to the brim of SUVs that average America has a real concern for environmental and energy-related issues..
But don't forget...it's an SUV with a maximum of one person in it at a time! I always hear, "but I need a big car" and then see no one but a tiny little yuppie bitch in it. Maybe she needs to space to carry stuff...nope...just a single shopping bag of crap, sitting on the passenger seat.
It would be nice, if people were nice...here in America everyone is a dick. So if you're the little guy, trying to sue the big guy for a legitimate reason, and you lose...you're really really screwed because now you bear the burden of their legal costs.
I'd personally like to see more justice done with bats and bullets. Did you take my car stereo? FIne, then I get to take out your knee caps with my bat.
I'm going to jump on this thread with a question that I've yet to answer.
Are there any programs, prefereably for free, that will allow you to overlay live video on previously recorded video?
Essentially I'm recording an actors movement on one side of the screen. I'll then capture that video on to the computer. I would then like to playback that captured video with a live video overlay. I'll then have the actor move accordingly as to not block his previous self.
I'm not looking for real time green screening or anything like that...just playing two videos on top of each other, one realtime the other previously captured. I'll do all the fancy compositing in after effects after I get good footage.
Chances are, if you have a car you can afford to wait. Most often the man crossing the street is trying to catch a bus so he can slave at a dead end job.
Pedestrians have the right of way on most streets under 35mph
I love it when I try to cross the street in pouring rain and pricks in their cars honk at me. I'm the one getting soaking wet yet I'm inconveniencing them.
Um...he's Bush...on the few occasions that he can formulate a complete sentence you can bet it will be a lie. Don't misunderestimate his doublespeak.;-)
so we won't see the extreme cruelties and conflicts of desperation that we see today.
Problem...not everyone can live like the US...if they do...then we all die. There aren't enough resources to go around. 6 billion plus people all can't drive cadilacs. Not that we shouldn't raise the standard of living...but we need population control before that becomes a universal option.
Some people live in the desert and complain that there's no rain
I have both a PC and a Mac. No doubt the Mac version will come out 6 months to a year later than the PC version. If it were to come out...say...a month after the PC version, I would gladly wait.
As it stands...it will be hard for me to vote with my wallet.
or are almost all telephone ringtones *overpriced*. I mean, come on, they are selling crappy midi files for outrageous (comparatively) prices.
I have a friend who says, "$0.99 for a song from iTunes??? I'd never pay that much!" Then she happily blows $20 a month at $1.25 a piece on stupid god damn ringtones for her cellphone.
What many fail to consider is a company of Lockheads size can demand the people that work for it use OpenOffice, especially since it's free. Want to send something to Lockhead? It has to work in OpenOffice.
When I do work for Mallinkrodt they are very specific about what file types they accept. They call the shots because they have the deeper pockets. Lockhead is in a similar situation.
Here's something alot of people won't consider. Real's software alters the iPods software. That means when apple comes out with a firmware update or fix, it could mess up your iPod.
I'm not saying you shouldn't be able to put Real files on your iPod, just that Apple shouldn't have to support your iPod after Real screws with it's innards.
I expect that within my lifetime people will finalize realize just how messed up we've made this planet. It would be nice to know that people are on some other planet continuing our existence while Earth withers away.

I love x10 :-)
I'd rather the US government stop creating terrorists. Then we wouldn't have to go looking for them.

I guess you could make stronger bullets...How else could it be used to kill people? I'd like to see this technology get funded.
I really like this video of him.

2. Roll around in your new found wealth

Mine :-)
Ahem...unless you're rich. :-)
And you get the warm fuzzy feeling of supporting a terrible company with shady business practices.
The rimshot really made that joke. Sadly, I don't think anyone knows what it is :-)

Then again, maybe I'm just talking out of my ass.
