Therefore whether journalists are elitists is not the issue.
Yes, it most certainly damn well is an issue if not *the* issue.
When you ask a lovely little college grad girl why she wants to be in Journalism, and her response is "to change the world for the better"... Sir, that should scare the hell out of you!!! A journalists job is to be the recorder and presenter of information; not to reshape policy and culture in their own image.
I find it deliciously ironic that it was DARPA that kicked off ARPANET which eventually led to our present day Internet. So yes, you can thank the US military for your tubular access to the âoeInterwebâ. Enjoy!
If you're an apartment dweller such as myself, you can forget about WiFi. The airspace is too crowded on all channels (1-11) which leaves me with dropped packets and a short range. Oh, and I have periods of total disconnect when my neighbor decides to use his/her circa 1980s microwave.
Solution? I just run CAT5 along the floor baseboard from the router to my PC and PS3.
I'll be adding this file to the rest of my collection "Stuff Bigbrother nerfed". I'm sure after four years I'll need to create a database to index all the contraband I've collected.
It will be interesting to see how independent Specter will be this time around. I have no idea what will happen, but don't be surprised if he votes lock-step with the Democrats if only to gain their support and confidence as a new found member of the party.
Sort of like how "liberal" is slanderous to you guys... so weird.
In America, the term "liberal" has been bastardized to really mean "Statist". I've been guilty of it myself in the past. So when I see and hear someone advocating more government control into my daily life, I call them for what they are... A Statist.
You folks better start praying things don't get that bad, and that we continue to limp along with the broken system you prefer, rather than scrapping it and going with what has been proven to work: socialism.
Not sure what you've been smoking, but your obviously not sharing.
Actually, socialism wouldn't be too bad. Like everyone else, I too would sit on my ass waiting for handouts that will never come.
The way Democrats are running the country, it *will* fail. The Repubs just want it to fail in a manor that wakes people up so it doesn't happen again.
I for one want our country to succeed regardless of which party is running the nation. I just don't see it happening with this administration. So again, if it's going to fail (which I think it will) we might as well wake people up in the process so as to pay better attention to whom they vote for and not some baseless platitudes.
I would like to see Comcast or TW offer 50Mbit Up/Down for traffic inside their own networks. Basically, enhanced speeds for all users inside the same WAN (local ISP). They own the network right? I'm willing to bet businesses with local branch offices would flock to the service.
Fox News idea of fair and balanced is to give voice to this xenophobic racist crap.
I understand now. It is your "personal perception" that such as idea is xenophobic racist crap. Which is fine, because it's your own opinion.
If this flu came from Texas (and I live in Houston) and the rest of the nation advocated closing off the state, would you still object? If we were all Hispanic, would you still object?
Let's be honest here. Swine-Flu originated from Mexico whome most are of hispanic decent. Naturally, they will mingle closely with their family members who are (drum roll please)...hispanic! Hell, Just look at Southern California and San Antonio on Google Maps flu tracking.
From a pure statistical standpoint, your chances of catching this flu increase the more often you hang close to people of Hispanic decent. But should this thing catch on like wild fire, it will be a moot point in six months. By then, it will be just as easy to catch this flu from any random person in the public regardless of ethnicity.
One more point. You can't be politically correct and claim to be scientific in judgment. It doesn't happen.
Truth is, any on-going war is controversial. When is the last time you've seen a major Hollywood film based on it? Yes, there are a small selection of flicks documented here. But don't hold your breath on any block buster movies about it to be released anytime soon.
Why is it that every time I hear about the Military and Open Source, I have visions of Tux wearing a green helmet, holding an M16, and baring a grin with a fat cigar?
But to go even further as to blame 9/11 on lax boarder security, when all of the 9/11 hijackers were in the US on legal VISAs...
Are you sure he wasn't just quoting what Janet Napolitano said a few days ago? Sometimes talk radio will state the absurd comments of others to illustrate absurdity for the rest of the audience.
At the time, I bought a PS3 *only* for Blu-Ray. Having the ability to play all my old games too was a plus. That, and the fact software updates are consistent which make this BR player future/feature proof.
They made the right choice with this format. Too bad for X-Box.
Note: I used to work at tech support for TW Austin. And yes, we were stationed in the main office.
They tell you not to move the equipment shortly after installation for a reason. They want to ensure the quality of the connection in case they need to reschedule him for a "go back" (2nd on-site visit) to correct the problematic coax connection.
FYI, coax signal stats are monitored. I'm not sure how long they keep a history of them if at all, but diagnosis does take place in real-time for all customers. It's how they can pinpoint isolated issues or over all outages of a network segment.
Slashdot Mirror
Politicians drag out the same tired tricks over and over and the sheeple eat it up like it's free candy.
Because being fucked over feels good. Right up to the point of being pregnant with debt.
They're both equally rooted in statism however. Thus, both philosophies are the antithesis to freedom and liberty.
You should be scared by both communism AND fascism. I'll even throw in theocracies as well. They are all statist regimes.
True, except one culture is mainly urban while the other is mainly rural.

Depending on whom you talk to, Hydrogen may in fact, be a metal. Other however, state it as a non-metal.
It would be pretty bizarre to think of water as "liquid rust" eh?

Hey, you might get employed to help out in the cleanup process. Lucky you

Can someone please tell me why Fox News is always singled out on Slashdot? Is CNN and MSNBC any better? If so, explain.
