You are the retard. Stop listening to Ron Paul. The Constitution does define rights. However, it is impractical for it to define every possible circumstance for the use of these rights. That is what the Supreme Court is for, which is considered the LAW and the current interpretation of the Constitution. Yelling "FIRE!" in a theater is not protected speech. Neither is Treason, nor Inciting a Riot. Go back and study harder for your GED in law. You are an idiot. (Which that is by the way a protected form of MY speech...).
I really don't see what the fuss about Comcast is. They are definitely the best for the money around here. I get 75 mbps down and 15 up with 4 phone lines and commercial TV for my business for around $300/ month. Nothing else comes close for that cost for commercial service. At&t would charge twice that for crappy 3mbps dsl with 4 phone lines, and then charge long distance on top of that. The only time Comcast service has gone down in the past year was when a tornado and storms ripped through our neighborhood and even then it was back online within 2 hours. Comcast has doubled my Internet speed at home and business at no extra charge during the past year. My sales rep even told me about new rates and encouraged me to get the new priced packages that provide faster speed at cheaper cost, and to inform my clients of such as well. They added HBO and Starz at my house for no additional charge for two years for being a good customer. They recently sent me a letter to inform me I was eligible for 100 mbps service at my home for the same price I previously was paying for 50 and I needed to call to get the new package for the same price. I have never heard about anything even close to that from other carriers. At&t would still charge $500/month for 3mbps awful sdsl if you didn't renegotiate. Comcast on-demand works quite well also. Maybe I am just lucky or in a good area. Most of the problems with service I have seen are due to bad cabling, like the customer using homemade ghetto rigged screw on coax ends and splitters from Walmart to terminate the cable, or trying to get a solid signal over RG58 in instead of RG6. Comcast is actually pretty good comparered to BoA or AT&T, Sprint, or a dozen other companies, for me at least. I really don't understand the hate.
a 'pub' where they rub ethanol around the glass to convince the patron there is a real drink they are served.. where you may or may not get any alcohol in the drink you ordered... where patrons are metered to make sure they dont drink over their legal driving limit... a place the customers dont even know they may be part of an experiment, and on top of that they wont even play the soccer game on the tv. Sounds like a violation of alcohol ordinances and pub regulations to me. I really am glad i dont go there. we always sought out the places with the most potent drinks when we were bar hopping.
I bought an adapter to allow the two prong style fixtures to accept a screw-in traditional bulb. look for a gu24 to e26 adapter. I bought some for about $2 each from a huge online retailer. They work great for adapting to the common screw bulbs until the new style is more available.
I remember when food assistance programs meant you got your monthly allotment of government welfare cheese and other staples delivered to your door. im all for taking it back to that time. The 'modern' method of distributing benefits definitely opens the way to fraud, especially when you can get cash from the ebt card at casinos. It has made fraud so easy now many of the benefits are not going to their intended purpose. However, there are not too many crack dealers that will trade a block of cheese for drugs. That is the way it should be. Keep the benefits, just change the method of delivery. i think that would help more than anything. im tired of working hard to fund some other's drug or gambling habit with this kind of abuse.
As an avid follower of the x-files (at least until that awful final movie), i believe i have some expertise that can clarify this further. The alien craft do indeed manipulate the magnetic fields. However naturally magnetic materials can make this technology malfunction. The reason they crashed into the roswell desert is due to the high concentration of magnetite in the area that caused their guidance systems to go haywire. This magnetite concentration is also the reason ancient civilizations such as the Anasazi built villages among the hills in these parts, and why the illuminati have started creating modern villages in these parts to live when the new world order arrives. This magnetite rich environment protects any inhabitants from the powers an alien civilization uses to control humans, and is the only hope for human civilization to survive. The hybrid alien/human species will take over every other area of the planet, but those who live in the desert with the magnetite will survive and be able to repopulate the planet.
I saw a label on a bottle of oxygen for welding that also had the warning it is known to the state of California to cause cancer. I would not take this warning too seriously until it is known by others outside the state of california that it causes cancer.
Each recipient in a bittorrent like network could generate a public/private key pair for each file they are sharing. The public key could be distributed via the tracker to all peers that want to send data to the recipient. The senders would then encrypt the data using the freely available public key, and transmit it. Only the person with the private key could decrypt. If a person was in the middle and intercepted all key exchange and data packets, there would be no way to decrypt them without the private key. But that private key never is compromised because it never gets out of the memory on your computer. The way PKE encryption works is you encrypt with one key, you decrypt with the other. You can not decrypt a message encrypted with a public key by just knowing the public key.
How would you turn off a device with Tesla's wireless transmission? Sure you can run a blender or light a bulb wirelessly with his concepts, but you could not disable it. That was a major flaw in his wireless transmission idea.
It seems that Microsoft is wanting to stop people buying a volume license key and installing it on unlimited computers. They have new Volume Activation 2.0 now that gives you a central activation server or a multiple activation key now. My new volume license key is now available at their page also. I just need the iso now...
I was really hoping it would update the info correctly. I think that would be a great feature, but i really cant trust it from what i have seen. The old version never ate the id3 info like that. It would look for the album info where it was missing and maybe get the album cover, but it just left the info alone when the metadata was already there, and it at least gave me the choice of the album it wanted to match up to if I told it to find the missing info. The new version just updated automatically without telling me and overwrote the correct data with totally incorrect data, even though the old data was correct and i had the option set to only update missing data. If it only added the missing info, that would be great. But it is trying to do too much. I would also like to know how it seems to want to update my Al Green album with Connie Francis info. I mean, the titles of the album and songs aren't even close. I really hope this gets fixed. I am excited about that feature, but i dont want it to automatically eat all the album info from my songs. Another thing i noticed about that... Last night when i hit 'Refine search' after it tried to match incorrectly, it came back with the correct album. Today it seems to want to find the correct album from the start. Maybe they had a glitch in their system last night that is fixed now. It seems quite odd though.
I just tried installing the new media player, and i want to remove it before it causes any more damage. It seemed to want to eat all the metadata tags from my mp3 files and replace it with something else. For some reason, it wants to change all the artist and title info from a correctly labeled Al Green album and wants to replace it with Connie Francis. If i relabel it correctly and have it rescan the files it tries to label it incorrectly again, even though i have the option to only add missing information and not the overwrite all media information setting to get information from the internet. It is weird. I i go to play the song, a picture of Connie Francis shows up, even though it says the artist name is Al Green. And Al Green only has three songs but Connie has the rest. Same with my Beatles Abbey Road album. It has three songs but cant find the rest even though the tags are all correct in the correct folder. Also it is MUCH slower searching through my media files for changed things now. It definitely needs to go away and i will use something else!
Microsoft actually had this functionality in a sp2 beta, but crippled it at the last minute. Check out this link for a quick fix for that problem. Works quite well. You need fast user switching enabled though, so you cant use it on a domain computer.

The labor union time has passed a while ago. True, they were needed to improve working conditions years ago, but OSHA and other labor laws are in place now. It is easy to see why so many jobs are being exported to India or Mexico when the labor unions demand very high wages for the workers. It is rediculous that some of the unionized auto workers get the same $25/hour I get and better benefits than me (working a skilled and technical job)for putting tires on cars on an assembly line. I worked in a tire shop in high school for much less; it really isnt that hard to figure out. Just look at the financials of GM. Unions and pensions are eating up a huge percentage of the cost of their new cars. GM is losing huge amounts of cashas a result of these unions. On the other hand, look at non-union manufacturers of cars in the US, such as Nissan. Their financials are totally different and they are actually making a profit each year. The US is a free market economy. If someone does not like the wage they are paid they are free to look elsewhere. Organizers of strikes should be fired from their jobs to make an example of what happens when you dont come to work.
Bellsouth does not do my internet, but they do handle the telephone lines to my house. Is there any competition to the local telephone company besides the VoIP services? This makes me so mad i don't want to give Bellsouth any business at all if there is an alternative.
People here can sell a 'waterpipe' for smoking tobacco and legal herbs just fine. But if a seller calls it a 'bong' than it is considered paraphanalia. If you mention that it is possibly for illegal purposes when you buy it, they will refuse to sell it to you.
On my small home network, I ended up downloading the drivers that say 'drivers only'. These drivers do not include the ocr software and usb monitor and things like that. To install the printer, I first installed it the normal way you install windows network printers, by just clicking on it in the network neighborhood. I purposely installed the wrong driver just so the network printer port would be correctly configured. Then, I installed the downloaded software and took the client computer to the printer, and hooked it up with the usb cable and let it install the driver. Then, I plugged the printer back into the server computer, and went into the port properties of the client computer and changed the port so it went to the server computer with the port i previously installed with the wrong driver instead of the local usb port. Finally, delete the bogus printer used to install the network port and it will work. It works great, although it is much more difficult to hook up than it should be. And if i had more than 3 computers, it would definitely be a PITA! On the client computers, if i installed the software without connecting the printer, than the printer device was not listed as a device under the HP printers, and the 'have disk' method did not work either when i pointed it to the files i extracted. If anyone else knows an easier way i would love to hear it. I wasted too much time trying to figure out how to make it work. But it does work.
