Your little list to impeach is stupid on points 2-4.
#1 maybe valid...but your point 2~4 are most certainly NOT!!!
As for Bush I dont recall him lying under oath....nice try. As for the amnesty plan...you cannot convict someone for a proposed amnesty you dang NAZI!!
#3 & #4 is not a crime considering Congress lies as often or more.
There are lots of things to complain about but your #2~#4 is just more partisan politics and not actually against the law. Show me where you can prove #3 and that he was under oath and i might give you partial credit for it...but #2 and #4 are complete and utter BS. That would be like locking up all the Democrates for their Social Security FRAUD that they have hoisted on the whole country for several generations.
Funny i use BoA and run an international business with a plant here in the USA and one in Thailand.
I have nothing but praise for BoA. Maybe you should keep money in your account and not depend on a single check clearing. See sometimes checks from some sources takes week to clear the bank they are drawn on. This is done because a lot of these types of checks are forgeries. So the next time you make a large deposit with somebody elses check dont count on the money being credited right away....UNLESS you have enough funds on deposit to cover it. I never have this problem as i keep a very good chunk of money in BoA. Again Banks take care of customers that pay the bills. You obviously are not paying the bills for them as a customer.
Speaking for my manufacturing plants both here in the USA and abroad. We do not use ANY MS apps. Why? I made the decision a few years ago i was tired of MS and its BS and bloat. We know use Macs and Linux. Life is good.
We will be using the iPhones with our entire USA operation based upon our experience with Apple products and i see no reason to run MS Office.
So once again MS and its zealots miss the point. I may not be GM but i am real business and i am spending my money with Apple not MS.
FOOCK MS. May they DIAF!
See thats where you are wrong. There is a difference.
Thailand is not saying you cant have the video.
They are saying you cant have the video in Thailand....you know their country....with their King and their own people.
It is you who are now trying to enforce your standards on them. They are not saying that we here in American cannot have our You Tube or that we cannot see the kings image defaced. What they are saying is they wont allow it in their country.
Just like when i go there, i am not allowed to bring my firearms. I can have all i want here but when i go there, none!
So as usual the one that screams they are not enlightened is in fact the one who is not enlightened.
OK..but i run my own mail server/web mail server so i dont need or use Google Mail. (Why anyone would trust any free service for taking care of their email is absolutely STUPID!!
If its important...and why would you need to search for stuff that isnt, then why would you trust anyone besides your own machines to take care of your valuable email?
I mean really I run a business with physical plants in the USA and Asia. The day google decides not to do mail...they can simply turn off their machines and you can kiss your mail good bye. Same with any of the mail services. I use them but only for stuff that i dont care about. Ie registering for Slashdot etc.
SO the point is this makes use of thier systems but you still are at their mercy. NO THANK YOU.
Funny the 4 mac minis i own i have upgraded all the ram myself.
Maybe its just you who cannot seem to figure out how to upgrade the ram.
I mean there are wholes site on the internet devoted to this.
BTW...I can buy ram cheaper online then from dell.
What is your point?
Surely you are kidding that SCOX might win. The 326 lines of codes:
#1 they dont hold Copyright on at ALL #2 are in public domain #3 are not even CODE!
Where as the 700,000 lines of code IBM is counter suing over ARE owned by IBM, ARE registered to them, and pretty much IBM has them by the short hairs.
As does Novell.
This is emotional to a lot of people yes. But we are also highly intelligent people who know quite a bit about this and how this came to be. While we may be emotional doesnt mean we are wrong!
Where as SCOX from day one has been wrong.
Go shill on the Yahoo board you will find no safe harbor here.
What the He11 are you talking about?
Ive had a Mac Book Pro since they shipped and have no such issue.
Several of my employees have them also and ive just asked and none of them know wtf your talking about.
Either youve got something wrong or you've "got" something wrong.
Drinkypoo...let me start with your an idiot.
I have both Windows and Macs running and my Macs out run my PC's running windows in Parallels.
Your whole statement is utter BS. MY Macs are way more stable then my PC's. I rarely if ever restart my Macs.
You state that you cant get anything done on your Mac but frustration and to that i say BS. I get loads done on my Macs without anything so much as a bother...my PC's continue to be a source of problems and crashes.
You obviously dont know what the FARK your doing with a computer...so just go back to your sales job at BB.
I own/operate manufacturing plants in the USA and Thailand and we run both MACs and PCs. PCs because somethings are only available on them...for everything else we run MACs. (PCs above refers to computers running Windows...as we have a few Linux servers and they are no trouble either).
I currently run 4 computers at the house and 2 at work. The following information is only about the home computers.
1 - doesnt count its Linux and doesnt run any good games.
1 - is this machine i have used for general work for about 2.5 years and its about to be replaced by a MAC
1 - Macbook Pro that also goes whereever i go
and then there is the GAME MACHINE!
It is a special purpose Windows box running XP. Its gota nice fast Athlon and SLI Nvidia boards:) A very fast 70GB HD 15000rpm:) 4gb of ram, gigabit ether (dual) and a widescreen 24" on it. Wire mouse and Zboard keyboard:)
It plays wonderfully...now it never has seen anything but a few specific titles i decided were worth being on there (1942, CoD, DDo,...etc) it does great...but then again...its never browsed (not even once)...its never had AV...its never used for anything but games. Probably the most stable Windows box i have ever owned. But also extremely limited and not real damn cheap...but then again this middle aged (mf when did that happen) guy can compete with those sugar-pumped-13 year olds and still remain competitive:) the graphics are almost always run all the way up with best detail with no noticeable loss in performance.:) But again the key is not to load ANYTHING not absolutely needed....especially the windows stuff!!!
While this may seem (ok maybe it is) a but extreme. Its also the only way i have found that ANY version of windows after a few months was still basically rock solid.
Now you must excuse me....i gotta go ruin somebodies day online:)
My MacBook Pro and Mac Book (and ibook before that) all sleep and hybernate 100% of the time just fine.
Sorry to hear your stuff isnt perfect.
ROFL at your punny machines
The current world champion supercomputer is in Japan. and is 3~4 times faster than the IBM Blue Gene/L system.
See current issue of Popular Science for details.
No Macs dont do that.
Obviously you are another Windows fan who doesnt understand that Mac are different. Its the windows machines that need AV software not the Macs. In fact, i suggest you go see how you install and remove software on a Mac. Nothing nearly as complicated as a windows machine.
Until you have made the switch... you cannot get it... becuase everything that is a problem on windows is not on a Mac.
It really is the better mouse trap.
For those saying Tivo costs a fortune...WTF are you talking about?
Available right now from Circuit City / Worst Buy starting at $69 a unit.
Get the FOOCK outta here with this Tivo cost too much.
Echo lost becuase they tried to go around Tivo and violate thier patents. Get over it.
Echo is no nice company either just like DTV is not a nice company.
That is all
Wow...so many of you shop on lowest price...the WAL-MART mentality.
I shop on performance and design features, price is down the list.
Is this how you shop for medical care, or insurance, or your home?
I mean you can buy cheapest provider...i prefer to get real value.
In case you havent noticed the new Intel based macs are very reasonably priced, but you probably havent noticed since you were so busy getting crap on sale at walmart on your way back to the trailer park.
that say that the MPAA will just drop it and move on.
I dont think you understand...this guy has the means and it only takes one like him to make the fight stick. I know that when a guy like this decides its worth MILLIONS of his own money hes pretty determined to see it through.
I hope he c0ckpunches these a$$hats but good!
Some folks here think that $50 a month ($25 after food and rent) is too little to live on in China. Obviously.... some folks here have not been to China. I have...and that is about right for the average worker in China. So if they are willing to work for that....how is it wrong? Should they make Minimum US wage? Why they dont pay US Taxes? Common people either open your eyes and look at the reality....LABOR IN CHINA IS LESS THAN $2 per DAY! That is the reality. And for the common Chinese citizen...that $2 a day..is a big improvement over the previous generation.
But hey it sells news when somebody can say LOOK APPLE IS EVIL....forget that Walmart or any of the other millions of companies gladly pay this or less for thier workers.
Hey my Series 1 DTivo (i bought 11 and gave them to family and friends...after i fixed them and updated them to 240GBs each) still kick arse and still do it all. Gotta love that.
I got a standalone series 2 is bumped on size and is lifetimed in as well.:) Ah like is good.
Its not tricked out as much as the DTivo series 1 units. Those things are GOLD:)

For $599 Apple already makes the Home Server its called a Mac Mini and is way better a solution than this HP Ad that /. is promoting.

I am sorry michrech, but you are WRONG!!! AOE I, II , and III are available natively for the MAC.
Man...are you a shill for SCOX?

Because he comes from a less sophisticated world (windows) and does not know about such things. :)
Quit given away all our secrets. :)

Good answer...now how about something in the last 500 years. Oh wait they havent. So your point is mute.
Some folks here think that $50 a month ($25 after food and rent) is too little to live on in China. Obviously .... some folks here have not been to China. I have...and that is about right for the average worker in China. So if they are willing to work for that....how is it wrong? Should they make Minimum US wage? Why they dont pay US Taxes?

Windows crashing once per day is FLAWLESS....i mean really....what did you expect? OS X or Linux reliability...
US importation duty is 5%(4.9% from China or Taiwan)
I suspect the UK has a much higher import duty.
Hey my Series 1 DTivo (i bought 11 and gave them to family and friends...after i fixed them and updated them to 240GBs each) still kick arse and still do it all. Gotta love that. I got a standalone series 2 is bumped on size and is lifetimed in as well. :) Ah like is good.
