But your now talking about any legitimate government; you're talking about the UN. Pfaww... who give a mad f*** about them? You guys are acting like their word is law. IT NOT. Their a body of scumbags and bs artists. And they don't carry the weight of a lawful enforcement body. Stop acting all scared of them.
Will never happen, I NEVER read msnbc.com.However, I'm not really worried about this nonsense.either. When was the last time anyone ever did what the UN wanted?
ANYTIME the Fed does ANYTHING, it costs US money, lots of it. How the FUCK do you not know that? When was the last time the Fed did anything cheaply and efficiently? Where do you live, South Pole??
"My start page is my.yahoo.com for almost a decade now and in all these years, I have befriended some actual Yahoo staff."
Boo hoo. Its a business decision, not a personal attack against YOU. Unless you managed to piss off any of your yahoo "friends". Yahoo was a ok service, I suppose, but there are much better. Move to one of those.If you feel entitled to a service and these players keep pissing you off by shutting down and making you have to re-arrange your life every 5 years you can always start your own service. See what its like to run a business, wouldn't that be something?
Actually, and I don't agree with this myself, the reason Hutchison is putting forward this legislation is because these senators feel that the government is over-doing regulation, they want to see the Gov. take a step back and focus on the budget, not make more regulation (which would require more spending); its a move born of ignorance, not a power grab. Never the less, its a bone head move made by a small group of republican senators who don't really know the issues.
I'm going to disagree with that statement. If the hardware can run NT 4, it can run XP just fine. 95/98? I'm not even going to dignify that with a response. 95/98 are completely different operating systems from NT on up.
Good point. 2 things; The UN general council is comprised of the usual cabal of thieves and murderers who can't agree on when to have lunch much less any kind of internet standards, and no one pays any attention to them unless it benefits their country's national policies anyway. The UN declares things all the time and member nations ignore those declarations all the time, so, this is a real non-issue.
Shit. I once counted the number of mistakes and outright lies on both MSNBC and FOX, and I can tell you, MSNBC BY FAR won that. Fox even broadcasted some retractions on mistakes they had made. MSNBC- NONE. Not one, and I counted no less than 5 blown stories in one week. Not one retraction. If its not a retraction, its a lie as far as I'm concerned.
No, you hear it. Last time I recall distinctly were obviously opinion remarks regarding Bush on both the hourly news broadcast and a news discussion show I can't remember the name of. If your NEVER hear pure opinions from news casters on some of the discussion shows your not hearing the same broadcasts I am.
Nonsense. I've seen more hate from NPR, a lot more. In fact, I think all the negative opinion pieces I've ever seen or heard were from NPR. Go troll elsewhere.
This "survey" was conducted by WorldPublicOpinion.org. That right there invalidates it in my eyes. The article in AlterNet (another reason to dismiss it) gleefully proclaims "Study Confirms That Fox News Makes You Stupid". Hardly an unbiased one. The article also goes on to say "Fox News viewers are significantly more misinformed than consumers..." MSNBC frequently lies or misstates information in their reporting, I've personally noticed this. This is just another opinion piece that changes NOTHING.
"Does it matter if something inobservable exists? If you posit the existence of something that can't be observed, how do you verify that hypothesis? What are the applications for a theory that doesn't suggest effects we can detect and verify?
It matters to people who want to know. Don't tell me I can't find something out simply because you don't think it has any merit. Curiosity is what drives most of science. You may not care what the underlying rules of the universe are, but others do, and we want to know.
The (sic) inobservable (you meant unobservable) is usually observed through indirect means; Eddington's 1919 N. Pole expedition showed Einstein's general theory was correct by observing star displacement.
Practical application usually follows these theories well after they've been posited and and experimentally verified, long long after in many cases.
Sure, you had it. Did you implement it as an integral hack to your apple's OS? No? I never said speech synthesis wasn't around. Read my post and stop mis characterizing me. Did you EVER sit down at a computer and have it prompt you with a synthesized voice to do anything? No? Why? Maybe because it was expensive, not commonly done by users (hobbyists, maybe), required some programming knowledge, etc. And even if you did go through all that crap, what kind of vocabulary would it have? You've have to add a prompt for every action and activity possible. Quite a lot of work; ergo, not common. And probably not going to be near a military IT setting in the 80s. Give me a fucking break with this NONSENSE.
Speak and spells used a recorded voice and each of its 12 (or whatever) phrases were activated by a glorified light switch. Hardly what I was thinking of.
So when you unpacked it and set it up it was ready to serve up games by prompting you with a synthesized "Would you like to play a game?"
Sure, synths were around. Never did I sit down and have one invite me to play games as a normal part of its operation. That stuff required some planning, some extra hardware, a knowledge of the API, some time to implement, etc. Wasn't a part of everyday experience. Which was my point, you goddamn hair splitter.

"Too bad, I love blueberries."
Well,, you don't have to stop eating them. THIS JUST IN: Blueberries in high amounts cause cancer.

"Who on earth thought GOP/TP represented regular people?"
I'm guessing the same pack of idiots who think the Democrats represent regular people.
Actually, and I don't agree with this myself, the reason Hutchison is putting forward this legislation is because these senators feel that the government is over-doing regulation, they want to see the Gov. take a step back and focus on the budget, not make more regulation (which would require more spending); its a move born of ignorance, not a power grab.

Ha ha ha... I could tell you the sky was blue and you'd probably still say it was red. Troll on, troll.
The shows I'm referring to are national. I can't comment on shows I haven't heard.
"t long last, the Fox network can successfully document and store (some of) the enormous amounts of spin generated by its commentators.
CNN better not hope this technology is perfected then I guess.

a) Upgrade your XP/Vista box to Windows 7
Wow... I can't think of any good reason to still be running anything less than XP, if you're going to go down the windows road...
b) Say goodbye to your Mac c) Ditch your *nix distro
Ditching linux... yeah, that ain't happening.

Except MSNBC. Seriously.
