Actually, the corrected text would be, "Are our children learning?". If you're going to correct grammar at least get it right. And you missed the whole point of the post obviously. As you can see, the text was a quote (which is the purpose of quatation marks) of something George Bush said during his first term.
I gave my friend my Steam login information. He was able to login and download the game directly from Steam. Pretty funny when you think about it. They setup Steam to stop piracy and what they end up with is making it even easier.
For the 10 billionth time. This has nothing to do with the outcome of the election. It has everything to do with how we recieved that outcome. I highly doubt your reaction would be the same if someone hacked into the system and gave every single vote to Kerry and Bush had none. I highly doubt you would than say to all of the pissed off Republicans, "Bush lost, get over it". Stop acting like a complete moron and listen to what people are actually talking about before you make your stupid comments. Every single time I hear that I think of a sheep. Why? Because that's what you are.
Anyways, the real reason I posted was in reply to the Keith Olbermann part of the story, here is something I pulled off of a story on MSNBC that was written by him on November 14th.
***I'm on vacation-- it's been scheduled since August; I'll be blogging in the interim; Countdown will continue to cover the story in my absence; I not only wasn't fired for 'mentioning' the story - but we covered it five nights in a row; and, I'll be back on television on the 22nd (earlier, if developments warrant).***
Actually, Californai DMV only requires an inspection every three or four years. I can't remember which but its been at least 2 years for me now with no required inspection. Plus, once a car is 25 years old it becomes smog exempt and therefore never requires an inspection.
You guys should really read the article. It said the program would be available for parents to download to find music and movies that their kids may have downloaded. It doesn't just bounce around the internet looking for music and movie files.
Ah, but they did have a multiplayer simulator. And it was better than X-Wing and Tie Fighter. It was called X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter and even with my dial up modem there was hardly any lag when playing online. I loved doing 8 player free for alls and killing all my friends in my Tie-Interceptor. Ah, the good old days. The real problem with simulators now days is that the controllers are lame. You can either spend $5-$40 and get a crappy controller, or you can spend $80+ and get a decent one that you'll use for maybe one game. Fix the controllers and the simulators will follow.
I seriously hope you were kidding when you posted that. To actually believe that Bush made his own website would be idiotic at best. All the websites really tell you is that Bush was able to hire more web designers than Kerry because outsourcing provides cheap labor.
And who's to say there wasn't any intent. I can't say there was, but can you give proof there wasn't? I don't think you can. What I can say is that there was definitely something funny going on in 2000 with the whole florida mess. So the possibility of something happening in 2004 isn't out of the question. In fact, this isn't the first story I've heard like this. There was another case in Ohio that is currently being investigated where a machine had 5000 votes before anyone was able to vote. That seems kinda funny to me, especially when the CEO of the company that made the machines said he would do everything in his power to get Ohio's electoral votes to Bush(kinda like Jeb Bush told his brother in 2000 regarding Florida). All I'm saying is, there is enough circumstantial evidence to really look into this thing and make sure that nothing illegal happened. Especially if you throw on top of everyting I've just stated that the exit polls had Kerry as the projected winner in both Ohio and Florida, both of which utilized the Diebold machines.
Here is some data for you. The WoW games are going to come with region codes built in. Meaning, if you buy a North American version of the game you can only play against or with people in North America. Many gamers are protesting WoW because of this. The reasoning behind the protests is that a majority of clans out there are made up of gamers from all around the world. Putting a region code in a game that restricts gameplay with other regions would make it so these clans can't play together. All in all, a pretty shotty move by Blizzard if you ask me.
Really, and thats why Bush won the popular vote despite the fact that Kerry won the "10 states needed" you are talking about. As far as the electoral college ensuring that each candidate visits all the states, I live in California where I can count the number of visits we got with my middle finger. And those visits weren't even to try and get votes, they were for fundraising. Tell me how fair it is when the hundreds of millions of people in California have virtually no say on the topics of importance because everyone knows that those left wing hollywood nutjobs are gonna vote for the democrat.
Add the sarcasm wherever you see fit.
Someone on/. had an ex-girlfriend? No, but seriously though, that last post was pretty funny. Hard to sense sarcasm from something that is written and not heard.
Since your signature suggests to vote for Bush I'm going to assume your Republican, therefore making the trait of grinding coffee by hand a Republican trait.
Coffee drinkers, who actually buy their coffee from a store instead of getting the free stuff at work because it tastes better, tend to go Republican. Just a thought.
Not 58,000 ballots lost, just misplaced. Remember during the 2000 election when several ballot boxes in florida went missing for a few hours than mysteriously showed up.
The information is clear cut. ABC was at the site in April of 2004, after the US led invasion and military personnel showed them some of the explosives. Furthermore, the Iraqi's at the site asked the US forces to guard the site to which our troops responded that it wasn't their job. Not that I blame the troops, they just didn't get orders to guard it from those that know better. http://daily.misleader.org/ctt.asp?u=1161072&l=655 09/

"Rarely is the question asked, "Is our children learned"."
Not to mention Prince of Persia is on that list. Last I checked you get to kill stuff in Prince of Persia as well.
