  1. Re: Prediction: on NSA Data Mining Much Larger Than Reported · · Score: 0

    I agree that nobody can compel the Congress to impeach. But if they don't investigate a crime, by the president, they are defacto giving up their constitutional power. Why have a Congress create laws if they don't enforce them? I see a domino effect in which they must investigate him, or simply disband (or be disbanded by Bush).

    I have heard from several people that Bush won't be impeached over this. I see no way around an impeachment now that he has admitted to violating the law. My predection, although only conspiracy theorist driven is the following: Chaney will either be impeached first or resign, and Rice will be put into his spot. Bush will then be impeached or resign, and Rice will become president and be setup for another 4 years. Again, this is only my conspiracy theorist in action, but it would allow the continuation of the present course. May God help America.

    George swore to uphold and protect the constitution of the USA. If he blatantly disregards law, he is in violation of his oath to be President. As such he should be impeached. Without an impeachment, the congress and supreme courts are giving up their power to the President, which would result in a dictatorship. I have already written my representatives the request to have an investigation into this issue, and hope others will follow my behavior.

    Only if you use windows. It should be #11 out of 10 if your using a non-microsoft OS. Reboots are for people who don't know what the problem is or how to fix it (ie: neophytes).

    Actually, they found out HOW cancer spreads, not WHY. I would suspect why it spreads is to reproduce.

  11. Seen this before on Microsoft to Open up Office Formats · · Score: 0, Insightful

    IBM opened their 3270 gateway standards. I tried using a third party package to connect to an AS/400, using 3270 emulation. It turns out that the standards could be interpered several different ways, and of course Unisys did it wrong. The end result is that these "open standards" will be used against third party packages with Microsoft's FUD. IBM did it in the 80's. Nothing new here, move on.

    Because we won't be doing it in 13 years. It is a ploy to increase the budget to Nasa, but delays will kick in until 2025. At that time Nasa will get a couple of people on the moon, and America will be so broke that we won't continue the effort.
