    is this an Intel ad?

    My HTPC computer on the living room for viewing films is a AMD 5350. Differently from intel, you can have both hdmi with audio, 19V power in, standard ram sticks and components all at once. with intel you have to leave one of the three out.

    anyone that knows advertisers (or publishers, in this case) know that the premium spot (which a 60s ad before the season block buster is) will never the turned down. Those are the bread winers for any ad publisher.

    what those premium spots do have are extras. i bet this one has a "for 10% more you get the premium spot with some controversy!"

    the only reason for that is to leak personal, medical history to all the layers of the system. from your health provider, employer and credit card company.

    there's no reason any of this would help a physician.

    in America, with or without this, you will still be at the only "first world" country were a visit to the ER will only warrant any procedure of your bowels are exposed. for more than 3 inches.

    i know it, you know it, everyone knows it. While megaupload was great, most of the content there was illegal *for the users*. I'm not saying the carrier should ever be penalized for it... but regardless of law, what are your thoughts on the ethics of it? What if at the time you were a music wirter or a indie game developer instead of Kim Dotcom, how would you have felt about your company?

  24. Re:ok, i will bite on Obama Asks Congress To Renew 'Patriot Act' Snooping · · Score: 2

    found, something.

    The second thing I want to just mention very quickly -- last week, Congress obviously was busy. It left town without finishing necessary work on FISA and some of the reforms that are necessary to the Patriot Act.

    I said over a year ago that it was important for us to properly balance our needs for security with civil liberties. And this administration engaged on a bipartisan, bicameral basis, talking to Republicans and Democrats about how we could preserve necessary authorities but provide the public greater assurance that those authorities were not being abused.

    The House of Representatives did its work and came up with what they’ve called the USA Freedom Act, which strikes an appropriate balance. Our intelligence communities are confident that they can work with the authorities that are provided in that act. It passed on a bipartisan basis and overwhelmingly. It was then sent to the Senate. The Senate did not act. And the problem we have now is that those authorities run out at midnight on Sunday.

    So I strongly urge the Senate to work through this recess and make sure that they identify a way to get this done. Keep in mind that the most controversial provision in there, which had to do with the gathering of telephone exchanges in a single government database -- that has been reformed in the USA Freedom Act. But you have a whole range of authorities that are also embodied in the Patriot Act that are non-controversial, that everybody agrees are necessary to keep us safe and secure. Those also are at risk of lapsing.

    So this needs to get done. And I would urge folks to just work through whatever issues can still exist, make sure we don't have, on midnight Sunday night, this task still undone, because it's necessary to keep the American people safe and secure.

    the article only has quotes on him asking to approve it. there is zero about his reasoning. did he just say those 4 quoted phrases about senate having to say yes? or did he provide any semblance of a reason for why they have to say yes?
