THIS resident of "Rural America" would like you to know that Wyoming coal provides better than 30% of the electrical generation for the East Coast. Without the infrastructure necessary to support the mines and the people to work them how exactly would your precious city run?
You're a typical city dweller. You look down your nose at any one who lives outside the city but fail to realize that without us rural people your city wouldn't be possible.
You can't feed yourselves, you can't provide your own water, you can't generate your own power, you can't dispose of your own garbage, you can't supply yourself with the raw materials to build anything and you cry and whine for Government Aid whenever something happens (weather, terrorist attack, union strike, etc). Yet there you sit complaining about a "Socialist Government" and looking down your nose at US?
Mister without the support of a whole heckuva lot of "rural America" and the people who live there you'd be dead from starvation, disease, weather exposure or lack of materials.
Wake up and smell reality, we all need each other.
I'm old enough to remember when cable came out in Omaha, Nebraska. You had to lease a special cable box with pushbuttons on it that tuned the channels. Eventually everyone got standardized and the various CECs (Consumer Electronics Companies) started building support for the 70 odd "standard" cable channels right into the Televisions and VCRs of the day allowing you to tune pretty much anything without leasing a box from the cable company.
With digital cable the cable companies recreated the same situation they had in the late seventies and early eighties. You have to have the digital box in order to get the digital channels. Which not coincidentally is where they hide most of the "good" channels. Why did they do this? Well, a lot of reasons but trust me when I tell you that the charge for leasing the cable box you need to tune your channels isn't making them feel bad.
With this decision the CECs of the world can get busy putting standardized digital receivers back into Televisions and the DVR. It's about damned time too.
You're not REALLY using the Constitution as a source in an argument are you? Our government ignores the Constitution on a daily basis, what makes you think that the word 'people' would somehow be sacrosanct?
It took me all of ten seconds to create a cover story to hide a good unidirectional antenna that you would be able to point at someones passport WHILE THEY ARE AT THE COUNTER.
Build your antenna and put it on your arm, put your arm in a temporary cast and aim it straight out with one of those support belts that has the stick.
Done.
Verrrry few people will question what they are seeing and you'll have a concealed high power unidirectional antenna to use right under everyones nose.
I'm sure that with another sixty seconds of effort I could come up with at least three more ways to accomplish this.
I'll post more later, I've gotta go answer the door...someone is knocking.
It's probably just a post-holiday dip in my reading comprehension skills, but I couldn't figure out wether they are talking about adding ads to their "On Deck" (VZW 'run') sites or to all sites in general. Could someone whose wits are less tinsel addled figure it out and get back to me?
If I start seeing ads while surfing 'general' internet sites on my Samsung 730 then I'm leaving Verizon for the first time since 1994. I am NOT paying $45 a month for unlimited data in a 1X RTT coverage area for VZW and it's 'partners' to push a bunch of crap onto my browsing experience.
Yes, I have an idea. Quit whining. Many of us are still stuck in 1X/RTT land and we don't want to hear about your TERRIBLE problem of only 300kbit/sec download speeds when running in BT Tethered mode.:)
In 1987 your truck didn't come equipped with air bags, side impact beams, crush zones, 6 cd changers, gps navigation systems, dvd players, Anti-Lock braking systems, automatic transmission, and god knows what else. What's worse is that so many of these gadgets are electrically driven. As the electrical demands increase so does the HP 'lost' to powering them through the alternator.
Weight and electrical requirements are killing the MPG of vehicles.
Yup, I had the same problems. I picked mine up at midnight (EBGames) Mountain time and couldn't get the updates to run. I kept trying for two hours and then gave up. Last night I tried for another hour and *finally* got it to work.
I'm sure that it's just the "rush" of 200,000+ people trying to get the same update files. I'd be surprised if it's not much better by Wednesday or so.
Once I did get the updates I didn't have any problems getting in to the Wii store for the VC stuff.
The Vic-20 is where it all started for me. I moved on to a 64 and then a 128 when they became available. Today I have a working example of every machine they publically released stored in a closet along with drives, printers, and monitors.
Yes, but Adblock Plus and Filterset.G are not included with FF. Opera SHIPS with this functionality! Opera will also not trap you extension hell when you upgrade to a newer version.
Now here's where I launch into MHO.
FF's extension system sucks and it's one of the reasons I left FF behind for Opera.
1) Just finding the extensions is a hassle. You end up downloading them from about 15 different places, oh and you have to add every single one of those places to your trusted list. 2) You have to know they exist in order to use them. 3) Extension hell. You know it, I know, don't argue it.
Yes the Adblock Plus extension with Filterset.G is more powerful then what Opera ships with; you also have to contend with all of the above in order to use it.
Opera also spanks the ass off of FF for memory handling, speed of launch, reliability, built in features, and download size. It also runs on as many platforms as FF does, and perhaps more since I've never seen FF running on a mobile phone.
I have an HP ZE2000 with all three of those and I am running the 2.5.15-23-amd64-generic kernel on it. It took some doing to get the BCM4318 to work with the native drive but I did get it to go. The processor support worked out of the box and so did the Radeon XPress 200M.
No true conservative would mod you down for your statement. Of course around here that is likely to be little comfort.
I'm glad that they released the full text of the "secret" documents. This kind of this should be open for public review in the first place.
All good and loyal citizens should be clamoring for a public review of the actions taken by the N.S.A., and this administration, against it's citizens.
I am sorry to burst your bubble, but in many U.S states, perhaps even yours, it is perfectly legal to hunt deer with a handgun as long as it meets certain minimum specifications.
Since you didn't know that I have to assume that you're generally clueless about firearms and have been 'educated' by Anti-Gun propoganda, which is how you formed your "guns are EVIL" opinion.
Firearms are tools, just like the hypothetical hammer everyone is disussing. How the tool is used makes no reflection on it's morality or character. Those properties belong to the user.
On point number for you could use Citrix with your TS, integrate the TS into your Novell tree and then use the Citrix published application environment.
Logon to the network, click the pretty icon and BAM! there you are...running MS Outlook.

Get off my lawn you damn communists!
Maybe the consumer mind should stop doing Fisher-Price mathematics and realize that not everything needs to end in a nice round number.

You've been modded 'funny' but you should really be 'insightful' because your comment is TRUE.
Weight. It's all weight.

I started with Borland Turbo C++. :-)
It's a small world after all. I live in Casper myself and that's an interesting map you have there. :-)

So far I've been fairly pleased.
Really?
I've got a brand new HP laptop sitting here with the Ubuntu Dapper Drake 6.0 BETA running on it.
It appears to be working just fine.
Your "Lesson 1" appears to be a Windows Only lesson.

Bruce,
I burst into laughter several times reading your post, and I wasn't at ALL suprised to see a Wyoming call in your sig.

I STILL live in Wyoming and I completely reject your statement that "most people here don't have computers."
The year is 2006 and most people DO have computers, even in Wyoming.
I suggest you quit pandering to the hillbilly image that your Kalifornian friends have of this state and the people in it.
There are a lot of damn fine and very smart people living here...most of them with a computer at home.
On point number for you could use Citrix with your TS, integrate the TS into your Novell tree and then use the Citrix published application environment.

Spendy but very doable.
Cisco actually works?
Tell that to my two PIX boxes and the Cisco Concentrator I have.
The only thing that "actually works" is me...at trying to keep the VPN tunnels up.
If I had mod points you'd get 'em. I just roll my eyes when someone starts complaining because an email took longer then 30 seconds to deliver.
We geeks have sure raised the level of expecation surrounding this whole 'intarweb thingy'.
