I have voted Democrat in every election since I was old enough, including this one.
While I don't like that Bush won, I completely understand. It was hard enough for me and other democrats to vote Kerry, he was simply a weak presidential candidate. I think it is a testament to Democrat turn out and holding their party line, that Kerry even came close. He is by far the worst presidential candidate we've had in a long time and he STILL almost won. I think we would have turned the vote and won had Al Gore been the candidate again in 2004.
Honestly, I was tempted to change my own mind and vote for Bush a few times, even though I knew he had already screwed us in so many, many ways.
In addition, we would appreciate it if you could provide us with contact information for RuneLateralus, or have him contact us directly, so that we may apologize to him. We would be glad to send him a game and system of his choice through you as well, since we do not have his contact information.

Leads me to believe they are out to discourage porn sites from trying to get ranked with video game searches(read children), by intentionally adding their trademarks to their pages.
I'm SURE no porn site has EVER tried this to get hits.
If you are a tech and want to get through tech support for something as quick as possible, follow these simple rules:
1. NEVER and I mean never, tell the person on the phone you do tech support. This only makes them think you are arrogant and you are trying to tell them what to do.
2. Have your product with you and all serial/ID numbers ready.
3. Give a description of the problem or a specific error message. Never tell them "The power supply is bad, I need a new one." This will only impede your progress as they will get offended and make you perform EVERY useless step on their script(and maybe some that aren't).
4. Be polite and try to sound like a Joe User. This allows them to feel superior. A superior tech is a happy tech.
5. If they ask if you have performed test X, say YES. They may ask you to repeat it while they are on the phone, this is OK, just do it.
6. If you are a good tech you can use common errors to guide them to the proper diagnosis. This let's them feel accomplished and gets you your end result.
I have known many techs and most are low paid and hate their jobs. By appeasing their ego and not trying to tell them how to do their job, they will at least have a little job satisfaction. If you come off as arrogant, you will find yourself on hold a lot while they "research" your problem.

...students come up with an idea for a record album, cover art, and lyrics only to be told by teachers that the album is already available for download for free.
Student: Well that was easy, all I had to do was come up with the idea and it already exists... and you think they should get paid for this?
This reminds me of when I would order floppy disks and they would show up in the mail. I was always pissed off that I had to format them because that damn AOL took up the whole diskette...sheesh.
Aren't there already enough stupid people we vote for?
I don't know about you, but unless something makes the news on an issue it's already difficult to select a decent candidate. We have to choose House Members, Congress persons, Attorney Generals, District Attorneys, Sherrifs, City Council members, Mayors, Govenors, Initiatives, Propositions, Amendmants, State Justices, etc.....
A lot of times, if they have no publicity I have no idea who I should vote for. I will break down and vote party line at this point. Federal judges will just be another needle in a haystack of elected offices and the problem will continue.
I don't like appointments of office, but I can't see adding them to an already cluttered ballot.
It should have to print you a receipt with a barcode on it that would represent how you voted. Then they could just be scanned back in to do a recount and no one would really know how you voted just by looking at it.
But they won't care about having nothing to show for other people's money they spent. (i.e. credit cards) There are a lot of people who think credit !=money and we can spend all we want. Why would they care about having something to show.

Here, let me help you pack.
What you mean my A+ won't lead me to fame and glory?
Arrrghhh.....All that wasted time!
I know, I'll just get my Network+ too, then I'll be on easy street all over again!

The Moox builds are compiled for many specific processors, including Athlon64.
Definately improved performance on my P3 laptop!
They already did, it's called Windows...Way to hard for any MCSE.

Just my experience...
There is also a large Convergys call center in SLC, Utah. They have done support for Direct TV, Cisco, and MS just off the top of my head.
