The only reason CNN would ever do this is because the other networks havent yet. That puts CNN on the side of "you" which is complete bullshit and we all should know this by now. Cable news networks dont give a fuck about you, the news, or anything that matters to the public. They are giant corporations that only care about the money.
This is about money. NBC refuses, Fox refuses, CBS, ABC refuse... and CNN says "Look over here guys, we'll do it!" And now CNN gets their name everywhere on youtube. This is all about money and image. CNN is saying "we're on your side!"
There isnt a reason NOT to release the debates online and allow people to do whatever they want with them... other than money... So what is the reason for releasing them? Money.
CNN is just trying to fill a void in the market in hopes they will 1 up the competition and in the end earn more viewers through "trust"
And if you trust CNN or any of these news networks.. such as FOX NEWS, MSNBC... you're insane.
are you running on a qx6700? How is your system similar to mine? You cant say the 8800gtx works for everyone, just as i cant say it's broken for everyone. Our setups are probably different, and as you stated.. often it is the unique aspects of each person's build/software combinations that we can attribute these problems to. HOWEVER there is a lot of people having all kinds of problems with the 8800gtx.
I'm only ranting because there is nothing left to do, short of buying a 7900 based card:) And I'll spread the word about Nvidia's problems because that is the only thing one can do in my position besides tinkering component which i've done, although as you've mentioned, and i completely agree with... Often the problems are just the hardware/software combinations that cause strange things like this. So sure, the problem could be in my software combination. For all i know the Nvidia forceware drivers may completely blow on a qx6700. I do not know. But my experience has been quite problematic with the 8800gtx... and i've certainly seen plenty of others with all kinds of driver issues.
As for the driver being final in xp. I dont beleive that. Just because it got certified, doesnt make it final. The control panel is still a work in progress. I'm not sold that they are final. Call me a conspiracy lover but i'm not sold on it. Again i havent gotten to put the new drivers through its paces because i have decided to reinstall XP and or give Vista 64 a run....
I'm not coming down on you. I agree in many respects, and your point is well taken... Its just my experience with the 8800gtx has been that a lot of people are having problems with it.... unfortunately even in XP.
But your point still stands... and as i said before, it will always apply in general to these technical situations... but this time i really feel Nvidia is lacking in the support this hardware cycle.
What you've said, is a common response, but in this case, it doesnt apply. Nvidia really does have its hands full. Just because the XP drivers function, doesnt meake them fully functional. If the XP drivers didnt work at all.. Nvidia would be out of buisness right now. Their stock would have dumped pretty low once stock holders found out that their latest hardware didnt even support XP.
So yes, it does function in XP... to an extent. There are bugs... there are optimization and performance problems and artifacts... that cause apps to crash. (adobe)
I'm not everyone. That is correct. But i am one of many having problems with the 8800gtx. Check the evga forum, and the nvidia forums. There are just far too many people having problems with the 8800gtx. Its mainly because its new hardware, but its more so that nvidia cant develope drivers fast enough for it. They were able to make the hardware though... but as we all know.. its the drivers that make it work.
Again.. yes it works in xp... not entirely... but it works cause it has to. Nvidia has made sure it works in XP... but they do not have what i would call "drivers" yet:) We're getting beta drivers from Nvidia on XP and Vista... not finalized drivers.
It is most certainly not a "fanboi" rant anymore than you're a troll.
Go read the nvidia forum, even TODAY, look at the complaints and all of the problems with the drivers released today.
I cant for the life of me imagine why you would think it is a fan boy rant? I own an nv 8800gtx, installed in my quad core qx6700 workstation which i use for 3d animation and modelling professionally. This is not a fan boy rant. I didnt just make up the opengl vsync issue... I fucking discovered it! After scratching my head and trying to figure out why in the hell opengl was so deathly slow, I ran the same opengl test on an ATI x1550 AGP that was in my web surfing computer.... The ATI smoked the 8800 in opengl performance (this is softimage XSI, not doom 3:) )
The 8800 was choking at 15FPS will all 4 viewports being displayed, where as the ATI was 90 to 100fps... and this is all rendering at 2560x1600 on my hp 30inch monitor...
The 8800GTX has been NOTHING but hell since i got it. The few games i played... Company of Hereos for one, would render stray polygons and stretch them into infinity...
You can not run the 8800gtx with the/3G switch, or else you can expect ALL adobe applications to basically not redraw. They simply will work for 4 minutes and then a massive redraw melt down will take place...
Turn off the/3 Switch... and the redraw problem goes away... although it seems to be back with Adobe CS3, so i'm guessing Nvidia needs to fix something in their drivers again...
As for quadro cards... I've owned them. They were NEVER worth their price. Most people run Geforces, not Quadros in their workstations. Quadros are nice by insanely over priced and often lacking in performance compared to the geforces...
And WHY would i buy another quadro, when Nvidia cant even support NFORCE3 anymore, OR write a dam driver for the 8800gtx? You're saying i should invest even more money into Nvidia after having been SCREWED by them?
Hmm.. RANT yes.. Fan boy? no. I have never liked ATI. The 9800pro i owned, i was given (game developement) The ATI x1550 AGP is in my web surfing pc... The PC i basically do nothying excepot get email and do office stuff on...
Nvidia's XP drivers are stable in that XP wont crash... but they are have serious issues as i've listed.
Plenty of people edit video with a Geforce card. Nv8800GTX isnt just a consumer card. A $600 video card is not a consumer card in my eyes. Most people wont buy the dam thing. These are enthusiast cards.... Its a high performance card, the fastest yet... Are you saying it is ok to have terrible drivers for a $600 peice of hardware? Are you saying it is ok to release hardware as "vista ready" without a dam driver that functions in vista?!??
And As for the video editing overlay... I'll leave you with this. Do a search on Avid's forum. Yes AVID does recommend the Quadro line of cards for Media Composer... But if you search the forum... you'll quickly find out that the QUADRO cards have the same dam video overlay color problem. It was fixed in one of the drivers, and broken again in the next... and AVID had to tell its customers to adjust the color overlay settings in Nvidia's control panel. The problem is... It is NEAR impossible to match the overlay color, with the regular gdi color values. So when you're stopping and pausing your video in avid... the dam video colors change, which makes it quite hard to color correct etc.
Buying an expensive quadro would not solve that issue. It's all Nvidia's driver...
I just want Nvidia to support their product, which in my opinion is the best dam card out there... but it is so plagued with problems.
A friend of mine pointed out to Nvidia actually a vsync issue within their hardware, and they all run quadros... to do large format 3d at very high resolutions real time.... Nvidia's response was "ooops oh yeah thats a bug" Basically they couldnt get the cards to all sync and render the frames together across multiple displays...
They're going to ATI now.
I could careless WHO gets my money, as long as the dam thing works.
Nvidia needs to stop releasing new cards. The current 8800 GTX and GTS have absolutely terrible driver support in XP and Vista. There is no reason Nvidia should be releasing hardware. They need to get their asses in gear and write some real drivers.
XP drivers have serious overlay issues, and gui rendering issues that cause adobe apps to be very unstable. It has vsync problems that can crush opengl performance from 160FPS at 2560x1600 to 15fps !!!
The Nvidia control panel is complete shit. Its impossible to use, and its a half ass work in progress. The color control sucks in the nvidia panel.
Anyone editing in Avid Express, or Media Composer will quickly find that Video Overlay's on the 8800gtx are rendered with a different color space than regular ui rendered stuff... It makes it near impossible to match the two also because Nvidia's drivers control panel is horrible.
Nvidia has decided to not support NFORCE 3 boards on Vista. How fucking convenient for them. There is no reason to not support it. It's not that old and the platform can use pretty fast modern cpus and gpus.
Nvidia sold the 8800 as vista ready, without even having a vista driver written...
To this day, the Vista drivers still suck and both the XP or Vista drivers have had very few updates in the course of 4 months. (1 update for xp drivers)
I just dont see Nvidia taking things seriously this time around. They are really fucking up something great. BTW i question the 8800 hardware, because there has been a lot of hardware bugs with the dam thing. Check out EVGA's forum and all of the RMAs that have taken place and how many problems people have with the 8800
AVOID the 8800 until Nvidia gets their shit together.
I have psoriasis and one of the major most effective treatments is UVB exposure. I've used it for 20 years.. 2 to 7 minutes at a time...
Studies have found that in over 30+years of data... Psoriasis patients who use UVB regularly over 30 years, have no increased risk of skin cancer than regular folks
Thats not to say UV isnt responsible for cancers.. but i do think there is a tolerance that is built up that helps defend against the effects of UV. Vitamin D is one of those effects.
I also use a vitamin D based drug for prosiasis.. and it is quite effective.
actually... the vitamin D in your skin that is generated from sun exposure helps protect you from skin cancer. Your skin builds up a resistance to uva and uvb with gradual exposure increases. The gradual increases, increase the vitamin D.
I have psoriasis.. and i use narrow band UVB light for treatment on a daily basis (2 to 7 minutes)... DAILY for the past 20 years.
There have been studies that show that there is no increase in skin cancer rates for psoriasis patients who use UV therapy. The study had taken over 30 years of data into consideration.
Well i intended to dual boot vista and ubuntu to get a sense for both. I really did want to run linux and keep it going. I'm still quite tempted right now to try again. the problem really is that If i were to put up with all the difficulties of resituating myself to learn all of the tricks to configing linux when the gui doesnt work, or i have some driver issues... IF i were to put up with all of that, in the end i dont have as many apps, or the same apps that i like to run. I used to run Redhat a while ago and it was hell installing things that required a dependency that had 200 versions. I just went mad. I ran it for a good time too but i had to eventually come to a realization that i had wine installed, and mplayer ran really poorly... and why dont i just run windows and not have these issues?
The idea of linux is appealing to me. Freedom is something i wish on us all. I admire the linux community for their ability to pull together for a cause and that is democracy. That is humanity at its best saying, we pride ourselves on our ability to be different and still highly capable. I admire that... and i want to be apart of that....
but i cant. It's not that i dislike linux at all. It is the fact that Linux still has its rather difficult areas that i dont want to invest time in learning because i'm 31 now. I'm not that 16 year old bbs sysop anymore;) I'm a 3d animator and modeller working profesionally in games, film, television and print. All of my tinker time goes to those crafts and skills...
I cant afford to play with my OS all day. And i find it hard to find good solid help when you get a problem in linux. I mean its no different than say trying to find a solution for a windows problem, except you usually find more people with the same problem in windows, than in linux because of the number of users of windows. Googling answers is frustrating for linux. Its frustrating for windows solutions as well... I'm not saying its a breeze for windows. It's just i can read a solution for windows and say "ah.. i know what it is... i know where it is... " and i can go fix it.
Linux... i had no idea how to get X to use my 30inch HP monitor at 2560x1600. I googled for help on why my ATI driver wasnt displaying anything higher than 1280x800 and i found ZERO solutions. So i then searched on how to edit the config for x to allow higher resolutions and i found something.. but it didnt work.
Beleive me, its in me to tinker with this stuff but i have to at some point say... I have to do other things... and get work done and so forth. I'm not a GAIM fan either, i'd rather run Trillian in windows... I'd rather run newsbin pro in windows... I'd rather have the ease of use of installing codecs and things in windows. I have no idea how to compile things in linux and the thought of it scares the hell out of me cause i would have ot figure out how.
My command line knowlege in linux is terrlbe. Yes years ago i used to dial into shell accounts and multi task within the shell and use bash and everything but.. i STILL am not that great with the dam command line commands and syntax... nor do i know what most of the commands mean or do.
I just feel that there is a lot to overcome when using linux coming from a windows background. The major thing being ease of use. Linux still is not that easy. It is a much better GUI experience that it has ever been. It is a very nice os in general but also very very complex. I welcome the complexity, as long as it is can also be used easily. I guess OSX is considered this.
Again my intent was to run Vista and Ubuntu on a dual boot... but i quickly realized that i just cant get ubuntu to render its gui at 2560x1600. I'm sure someone here can figure it out but i had to abort. I wanted to get this pc up and running again because its my surfing pc. I get my im's from work and emails and stuff on this pc. I work on a quadcore pc workstation for my work. I keep this pc running for communications.
If i had to chose it would be Obama... actually Dennis Kucinich is probably the only creditable one among them.
I absolutely can not vote for Hillary. She is a political whore in ever sense of the phrase. Her arrogance is more important than her duty. She is a spineless weasel. Hillary Clinton is the female version of Joseph Lieberman. Like Lieberman, Hillary will do and say anything to remain in power. She also stands for nothing. She is the exact reason i hate politics. And it has nothing to do with "liberal" talk radio bullshit. I am a liberal progressive person... although more in a libertarian sense. But i am not a party follower of any party. Fuck political parties... All of them.
We're looking for Jesus, not the fucking New York Giants. In other words, I'm looking for a man or woman to do the job, for the people... i dont give a shit about the team. We need serious help.. and i do not beleive in Jesus:)
We're in trouble. Politics is a game and not a service to man. It is a corrupt system that caters to the ultra rich, that benefits no working man or women... or their children in todays society. We're all victoms and we have no power at all. VOTING is not a fucking power. It is a bullshit system and we all know it.
Obama... i dont think he'll do a dam thing. Being BLACK does not make him untouchable. He is a Black, so what. Many Black politicians are shitty people, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are just two that come to mind, but i'll gladly toss in Clarance Thomas, Charlie Rangal and Alan Keys as well.
BLACK means nothing. The fact that we look at Obama as a "BLACK" candidate.. is racist. He is a man and a politician which means he has access to powerful people willing to give him power and riches for favors...
He is just as curruptable... and i dont think he gives a shit about people anymore than the next.
If he is our best bet... so be it. I'll push the button, pull the lever... But really Dennis Kucinich is the real deal, as is Ralph Nader... both of which will never have a chance in this political system of ours because they are people who WILL make changes... and CHANGE that benefits the people... will never EVER be implemented when we have corporations and lobbiests in complete control of our two party system... which is not a 2 party system in theory... but in reality is kept a 2 party system by the powers that be....
There is no difference. I'm with George Carlin on this one. Let the fucking country burn... I'll watch and laugh because there are great people out there that could make this country for the better of man.... ALL MAN... but we're powerless and just too fucking dumb to know whats good for us. Nothing will change your morals and ethics like a big fat check in your hand.
This is exactly my experience this week with Ubuntu. I decided this was the week to try Vista and Ubuntu. I installed both 64 bit versions and i found that Ubuntu actually had more drivers for my pc hardware than Vista did:) My network card had no drivers in Vista, but Ubuntu did. I found that quite funny.
Anyways After installing Ubuntu i found out quite quickly that ATI's driver was only giving me 1280x800 as a max resolution. While that is an ok resolution, I wanted to run at 2560x1600, which is the native resolution of my 30inch HP monitor. ATI's XP driver had no problems doing this, but in Linux the driver hated me. I did infact try to edit the xorg config file and all it ended up doing is giving me a virtual desktop size of 2560x1600, even though i did edit it where the monitor rez and refresh lines were in the xorg config. So i was puzzled.
Well anyways i wanted to check out Beryl, so i tried to get it working but X kept complaining about some thing in the ATI driver and i never got it to work.
I ended up then just playing around with the installed software, and checking out the package installer. Linux has improved since my redhat running days... and i think it has come a long long way but in the end i decided that it was still not worth the difficulties of learning the "finer points" of linux. By "Finer points" I mean the difficult, hacky stuff that isnt exactly ui friendly etc. I used to run bbs's with dos, qemm, desqview back in the day.. i can deal with configs and all kinds of pc problems but in the end i figured that while linux is a nice platform, putting up with the difficulty of converting isnt worth the effort because the apps are not there yet. Why put up with the difficult times, when in the end, the apps arent there to run?
Windows is easier to setup and get going and has more apps...
Vista is nice. I ended up liking its ui and how the search is integrated into the desktop. I'm no DRM fan, nor a microsoft fan really. Vista 64 ended up running ridiculously slow on my pc, using 100% cpu to do render Aero, is just silly. I tried the 32bit version of Vista and things seem to be running smoother but CPU usage is still higher than XP and for all the stink about moving the gui to the GPU, it really does use way too much main cpu. Frankly XP is faster off the main cpu than Aero is off the gpu.
I think Linux really has a solid future. It's been around for a long long time and it continues to evolve quite nicely. It is still behind in terms of user friendly usability. It's still a coders os... and thats fine... But it also needs to get even easier to do tasks. Frankly the silly program names also make it very difficult to guess which app does what:)
Linux needs to keep evolving, but at a faster rate. I wouldnt be terribly broken up if Vista was the end of the road for microsoft.... that is unless Linux doesnt improve. Linux isnt there yet for me.... but i do think it will be shortly. More and more people are running linux and i think it is gaining ground...
It just lacks the app support:(
Anyways... I'm in Vista32 on this computer... and XP on my workstation... because the apps are there, and they network easily to each other and have drivers for my printer...
I love my Intel QX6700 hack job:) Absolutely amazing. I hope AMD is around for a long time because i love seeing Intel backed against a corner in a comepetitive heat, they surely know how to deleiver performance when pushed. AND INTEL NEEDS TO BE PUSHED. We all remember the 200mhz 210mz 220mhz days;) How fucking long did it take intel to go in 15mhz increments from 200mhz to 1ghz!?@$~!@$!$!@$!@$%!@$
double oops "Chris Rock or any black man, should be ne looked at as inferior in any shape or form"
should obviously read as "shouldnt be"
I love Chris Rock. Poor guy is always used in examples in recent years. There are great black comics such as Paul Mooney that say far worse things aimed at whites and other people... and Pauls a hero of mine. He wrote 50% of Richar Pryors stand up act years ago. Pauls a legend, but rarely is known by most folks.
Anyways... Everyone should say what they feel, when ever they want. We'll be better for it. It's often things like Comedy and political speech that often challenge our own notions of freedom of speech. Its often hard to allow someone to say something you dont like, that is the challenge.. but it is also the greatest thing we have going in this country.
"Double standards do suck; I agree on that. But to think that they "just happen" is naive. There are pretty obvious reasons why Chris Rock is allowed to say the "n word" and I'm not. And I'm ok with those reasons."
Oh please stop with the white guilt. Enough already. You're not a slave owner. You're a white American as Chris Rock is a Black American. Both equal and protected by free speech and free expression laws. Do you see what you're doing? You're allowing the entire idea of free speech to be qualified by color. You're giving up your right because you feel guilty about being white. This has nothing to do with the past and what has been done to black people. Chris Rock was never a slave and you were never a Slave owner. You are both the same, equal and protected by the same rights. Ok Blacks in the past have been enslaved and treated horribly. So have the Chinese... We're not talking about 2007. When do we let go of the past? Do you think Chris Rock likes to think that white people look at him and feel sorry for him because hes black? Because that is what you're doing. By accepting the double standard, you are admiting that Chris Rock is inferior. That is what you're saying. That is completely wrong. Chris Rock or any black man, should be ne looked at as inferior in any shape or form. They shouldnt be looked at as superior either. The whole idea of EQUAL RIGHTS... is that we share the laws.
I think it is very condescending towards blacks to accept this double standard. Its as if white people are saying "well, we're white and we're superior, so we'll let you have that power"
That just sick.
Be equal. Be proud of what you are. Drop the white guilt. Treat black people as equals and as a fellow man. Blacks have their social problems as do whites. Blacks have in the past been treated horribly, but in todays day and age... WE ARE ALL TREATED horribly by those in power. The people in power... have us fighting among ourselfs as a distraction. This is a top down media generated soap opera of black vs white because they know it will fuel opinion and interest. They know Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are political hitmen. They know all of this... and they dont give a shit about the public... BLACK AND WHITE.
There are larger issues that affect us all such as health care, and good jobs, the huge debt our country faces... there is SO much wrong with our country that affects everyone.... Dont let this media driven soap opera(for commercial profit) distract you.
Protected speech is to protect unpopular speech. That includes racial humor. If we were only allowed to say things that we all agree upon... what is the reason for protected free speech?
Dont let this double standard continue... Its easy to say "well blacks have had it hard over the years and i feel bad about that.. so ok its fine that blacks can say nigger, or nappy, or hos and i cant"... But in the big picture, to do so, destroys the idea of equal rights, and free speech.
Ok so you've proven that he has gone after blacks and jews. Well did you know that he also goes after rednecks? He has made fun of his own brother, and called him a redneck and he dismisses his brother with the same short handed silliness that he has while making any harsh comment in jest.
It's way of talking. He also used to call the New York Knicks, Car Jackers in Shorts... Why? Because they were black? No.. because they were Thugs that were known to flagrantly foul other players on the court. And they often were in trouble outside of the game of basketball. But they were also black. So are all car jackers and thugs black? or were they just making silly jokes?
The people he claimed were affirmative action hires at the NY times were that jackass black reporter jason blair who wrote complete lies on purpose, and had absolutely no fucking credentials for being there. That is why he refered to him as an affirmative action hire, because he was black, and had no reason for being there because he was a shitty person and a shitty journalist... and a liar.
How about the characters on his show... where he's made endless fun at rush limbaugh, religious figures, bill clinton, and many others. He used to call Tim Russert "Tubby" and they're good friends. You have to stop looking at it one sided. He has attacked everything from all angles in silly comments. He's very dry in his sense of humor, and very dark. Its not his fault that you dont get it.
Don Imus has dieing children of all ages come to his kids with cancer ranch, where he treats them like human beings during the toughest time of their life, and probably their last moments on this planet. He treats them with dignity and shows them a different life than just being wired up in a hospital bed, sick and worrying about dieing. Don Imus brings kids of ALL colors to his ranch, and treats them with dignity.
He has raised over 250million dollars for cancer research and Sudden infant death syndrome... NONE of which come with a a "whites only" requirement.
You really need to understand that Don Imus is a radio personality doing humor, just like Richard Pryor does humor, or Paul Moooney, or Eddie Murphy, or Dave Chappelle, or any black comic using race to make us laugh. It is just jokes, and the people behind the jokes are what matter. On stage, its a performance. Didnt your parents tell you that tv isnt real?
This is a show. SHOW. Dave Chappelle did a bit called "The Niggers" on comedy central... No one was outraged then. Paul Mooney has done endless jokes about white people... and i love them both dearly, as well as the other black comics above because they get free speech and what it can do for all of us. It makes us laugh at each other, rather than kill one another. They're all great comics...
Jesse Jackson has publically made statements showing that he hates jews, and Al Sharpton has also said things racist against white people and have done plenty to railroad innocent white people, and never appoligizing to them when he was wrong. He even owes money per court order and hasnt paid it up to white police officers whos lives he has ruined.
Even if Don Imus were racist, he is still legally allowed to say whatever he wants. There is a double standard when it comes to what whites can say vs what blacks can say. That in itself is racist. There is only free speech. The second we apply a color standard to it, then we're institutionalizing racism.
This is going to get much worse... and everyone is affraid to talk now in public or at their job. Is that really the world America was meant to be? The land of the scared to speak?
When is it ok to talk?
Do I have to wait for a black self promoting pseudo leader that hates jews, such as Jesse Jackson to tell me?
Is that the America you want?
This isnt the civil rights movements. There arent 10's of thousands of black americans marching in the street over this. The younger generation doesnt care, and are far more liberal with language and simple find
But you have to remember that it is not illegal to be offensive. You are allowed to be offended under free speech and expression. That is the entire idea of protected speech and expression.
What he said was not an FCC violation in any shape or form. He could have said "nappy headed niggers" and it still would be legal.
Frankly the FCC's regulation of certain words is a fucking criminal act in my opinion. The FCC violates our civil liberties by doing this... But here's the wierd part.. The FCC allows the use of the word "nigger" but not "fuck"
The government shouldnt be telling us what words we can and cant say, and neither should Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. Al Sharpton said last night on Bill Marher's Real Time that it is absolutely different when Don Imus says nappy headed ho's than when a black rapper uses it. That is RACIST far more than anything Don Imus ever said.
According to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, Whites are not allowed to speak freely. That sounds like not allowing blacks to drink from white water fountains if you ask me. Look how far we come. Jesse Jackson has expressed his hate for jews, and Al Sharpton has expressed his hatred of white people and is on video doing a shadey deal with someone. He's also never appologized for ruining a group of white police officers lives during the Tawana Brawley case.... The cops counter sued him when they were found innocent of the rape charges that Al Sharpton was hell bend on hanging them with.... but AL NEVER apollogized to them, AND HE NEVER PAID UP THE MONEY THAT THE COURT AWARDED THE WHITE COPS.
Al Sharpton is a peice of shit. Jesse Jackson hates jews. Stupid Network news allowed these two to weasel their way into the public eye again through the use of our white guilt, and the corporate networks need to profit off sleeze. Thats all this is. Its a media built soap opera based on nothing but a fucking joke said by a radio jock that has in the past called the NY Knicks "Car Jackers in shorts" and no one cared then.
exactly. The people didnt go berzerk over the nipple... the MEDIA went berzerk of the nipple. The same thing in this case. There was no huge public outcry from millions of black Americans. Sharpton equated this to Dr King marching in the streets... The only thing wrong with that is Dr King had 10's of thousands marching with him. Sharpton and Jesse had 50 people.
This was all played out in the media at the top levels. This is a top down outrage white guilt trip. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson played a stock market game. Their outrage is equivelant to a corporations bullshit press release that is released to drive stock up, although this was created to drive stock down. It had nothing to do with black Americans, it had nothing to do with free speech obviously. They just held our country hostage for their own personal profit, at the expense of our concept of free speech. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and the other wannabe's that were on tv all week, have stated that they are hell bend on ridding America of offensive behavior and speech.
I find this scary. I wish Imus took them to court instead of appologized on the air. He should have sued Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson for ruining his carear over a joke. In court he could have proved it was a joke, and either way he could easily prove that anything he says is protected speech, and there is nothing Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson could do about it. But instead this was played out in the media, where bullshit applies and laws do not.
He should have never appologized, and just said "your a criminal and a peice of shit Al Sharpton" and "Jesse Jackson, it's know that you hate jews..." Then just sued them both for extortion.
Slashdot Mirror
if you think its crazy, then clearly you do not know buisness ;)
The only reason CNN would ever do this is because the other networks havent yet. That puts CNN on the side of "you" which is complete bullshit and we all should know this by now. Cable news networks dont give a fuck about you, the news, or anything that matters to the public. They are giant corporations that only care about the money.
This is about money. NBC refuses, Fox refuses, CBS, ABC refuse... and CNN says "Look over here guys, we'll do it!" And now CNN gets their name everywhere on youtube. This is all about money and image. CNN is saying "we're on your side!"
There isnt a reason NOT to release the debates online and allow people to do whatever they want with them... other than money... So what is the reason for releasing them? Money.
CNN is just trying to fill a void in the market in hopes they will 1 up the competition and in the end earn more viewers through "trust"
And if you trust CNN or any of these news networks.. such as FOX NEWS, MSNBC... you're insane.
are you running on a qx6700? How is your system similar to mine? You cant say the 8800gtx works for everyone, just as i cant say it's broken for everyone. Our setups are probably different, and as you stated.. often it is the unique aspects of each person's build/software combinations that we can attribute these problems to. HOWEVER there is a lot of people having all kinds of problems with the 8800gtx.
:) And I'll spread the word about Nvidia's problems because that is the only thing one can do in my position besides tinkering component which i've done, although as you've mentioned, and i completely agree with... Often the problems are just the hardware/software combinations that cause strange things like this. So sure, the problem could be in my software combination. For all i know the Nvidia forceware drivers may completely blow on a qx6700. I do not know. But my experience has been quite problematic with the 8800gtx... and i've certainly seen plenty of others with all kinds of driver issues.
I'm only ranting because there is nothing left to do, short of buying a 7900 based card
As for the driver being final in xp. I dont beleive that. Just because it got certified, doesnt make it final. The control panel is still a work in progress. I'm not sold that they are final. Call me a conspiracy lover but i'm not sold on it. Again i havent gotten to put the new drivers through its paces because i have decided to reinstall XP and or give Vista 64 a run....
I'm not coming down on you. I agree in many respects, and your point is well taken... Its just my experience with the 8800gtx has been that a lot of people are having problems with it.... unfortunately even in XP.
But your point still stands... and as i said before, it will always apply in general to these technical situations... but this time i really feel Nvidia is lacking in the support this hardware cycle.
Ken was a team player right up until the team realized they were firing him cause PS3 wasnt doing well.
I'm sure Ken was a team player too...
I dont overclock.
:) We're getting beta drivers from Nvidia on XP and Vista... not finalized drivers.
What you've said, is a common response, but in this case, it doesnt apply. Nvidia really does have its hands full. Just because the XP drivers function, doesnt meake them fully functional. If the XP drivers didnt work at all.. Nvidia would be out of buisness right now. Their stock would have dumped pretty low once stock holders found out that their latest hardware didnt even support XP.
So yes, it does function in XP... to an extent. There are bugs... there are optimization and performance problems and artifacts... that cause apps to crash. (adobe)
I'm not everyone. That is correct. But i am one of many having problems with the 8800gtx. Check the evga forum, and the nvidia forums. There are just far too many people having problems with the 8800gtx. Its mainly because its new hardware, but its more so that nvidia cant develope drivers fast enough for it. They were able to make the hardware though... but as we all know.. its the drivers that make it work.
Again.. yes it works in xp... not entirely... but it works cause it has to. Nvidia has made sure it works in XP... but they do not have what i would call "drivers" yet
It is most certainly not a "fanboi" rant anymore than you're a troll.
:) )
/3G switch, or else you can expect ALL adobe applications to basically not redraw. They simply will work for 4 minutes and then a massive redraw melt down will take place...
/3 Switch... and the redraw problem goes away... although it seems to be back with Adobe CS3, so i'm guessing Nvidia needs to fix something in their drivers again...
Go read the nvidia forum, even TODAY, look at the complaints and all of the problems with the drivers released today.
I cant for the life of me imagine why you would think it is a fan boy rant? I own an nv 8800gtx, installed in my quad core qx6700 workstation which i use for 3d animation and modelling professionally. This is not a fan boy rant. I didnt just make up the opengl vsync issue... I fucking discovered it! After scratching my head and trying to figure out why in the hell opengl was so deathly slow, I ran the same opengl test on an ATI x1550 AGP that was in my web surfing computer.... The ATI smoked the 8800 in opengl performance (this is softimage XSI, not doom 3
The 8800 was choking at 15FPS will all 4 viewports being displayed, where as the ATI was 90 to 100fps... and this is all rendering at 2560x1600 on my hp 30inch monitor...
The 8800GTX has been NOTHING but hell since i got it. The few games i played... Company of Hereos for one, would render stray polygons and stretch them into infinity...
You can not run the 8800gtx with the
Turn off the
As for quadro cards... I've owned them. They were NEVER worth their price. Most people run Geforces, not Quadros in their workstations. Quadros are nice by insanely over priced and often lacking in performance compared to the geforces...
And WHY would i buy another quadro, when Nvidia cant even support NFORCE3 anymore, OR write a dam driver for the 8800gtx? You're saying i should invest even more money into Nvidia after having been SCREWED by them?
Hmm.. RANT yes.. Fan boy? no. I have never liked ATI. The 9800pro i owned, i was given (game developement) The ATI x1550 AGP is in my web surfing pc... The PC i basically do nothying excepot get email and do office stuff on...
Nvidia's XP drivers are stable in that XP wont crash... but they are have serious issues as i've listed.
Plenty of people edit video with a Geforce card. Nv8800GTX isnt just a consumer card. A $600 video card is not a consumer card in my eyes. Most people wont buy the dam thing. These are enthusiast cards.... Its a high performance card, the fastest yet... Are you saying it is ok to have terrible drivers for a $600 peice of hardware? Are you saying it is ok to release hardware as "vista ready" without a dam driver that functions in vista?!??
And As for the video editing overlay... I'll leave you with this. Do a search on Avid's forum. Yes AVID does recommend the Quadro line of cards for Media Composer... But if you search the forum... you'll quickly find out that the QUADRO cards have the same dam video overlay color problem. It was fixed in one of the drivers, and broken again in the next... and AVID had to tell its customers to adjust the color overlay settings in Nvidia's control panel. The problem is... It is NEAR impossible to match the overlay color, with the regular gdi color values. So when you're stopping and pausing your video in avid... the dam video colors change, which makes it quite hard to color correct etc.
Buying an expensive quadro would not solve that issue. It's all Nvidia's driver...
I just want Nvidia to support their product, which in my opinion is the best dam card out there... but it is so plagued with problems.
A friend of mine pointed out to Nvidia actually a vsync issue within their hardware, and they all run quadros... to do large format 3d at very high resolutions real time.... Nvidia's response was "ooops oh yeah thats a bug" Basically they couldnt get the cards to all sync and render the frames together across multiple displays...
They're going to ATI now.
I could careless WHO gets my money, as long as the dam thing works.
Nvidia needs to stop releasing new cards. The current 8800 GTX and GTS have absolutely terrible driver support in XP and Vista. There is no reason Nvidia should be releasing hardware. They need to get their asses in gear and write some real drivers.
XP drivers have serious overlay issues, and gui rendering issues that cause adobe apps to be very unstable. It has vsync problems that can crush opengl performance from 160FPS at 2560x1600 to 15fps !!!
The Nvidia control panel is complete shit. Its impossible to use, and its a half ass work in progress. The color control sucks in the nvidia panel.
Anyone editing in Avid Express, or Media Composer will quickly find that Video Overlay's on the 8800gtx are rendered with a different color space than regular ui rendered stuff... It makes it near impossible to match the two also because Nvidia's drivers control panel is horrible.
Nvidia has decided to not support NFORCE 3 boards on Vista. How fucking convenient for them. There is no reason to not support it. It's not that old and the platform can use pretty fast modern cpus and gpus.
Nvidia sold the 8800 as vista ready, without even having a vista driver written...
To this day, the Vista drivers still suck and both the XP or Vista drivers have had very few updates in the course of 4 months. (1 update for xp drivers)
I just dont see Nvidia taking things seriously this time around. They are really fucking up something great. BTW i question the 8800 hardware, because there has been a lot of hardware bugs with the dam thing. Check out EVGA's forum and all of the RMAs that have taken place and how many problems people have with the 8800
AVOID the 8800 until Nvidia gets their shit together.

I have psoriasis and one of the major most effective treatments is UVB exposure. I've used it for 20 years.. 2 to 7 minutes at a time...
Studies have found that in over 30+years of data... Psoriasis patients who use UVB regularly over 30 years, have no increased risk of skin cancer than regular folks
Thats not to say UV isnt responsible for cancers.. but i do think there is a tolerance that is built up that helps defend against the effects of UV. Vitamin D is one of those effects.
I also use a vitamin D based drug for prosiasis.. and it is quite effective.
actually... the vitamin D in your skin that is generated from sun exposure helps protect you from skin cancer. Your skin builds up a resistance to uva and uvb with gradual exposure increases. The gradual increases, increase the vitamin D.
I have psoriasis.. and i use narrow band UVB light for treatment on a daily basis (2 to 7 minutes)... DAILY for the past 20 years.
There have been studies that show that there is no increase in skin cancer rates for psoriasis patients who use UV therapy. The study had taken over 30 years of data into consideration.
Well i intended to dual boot vista and ubuntu to get a sense for both. I really did want to run linux and keep it going. I'm still quite tempted right now to try again. the problem really is that If i were to put up with all the difficulties of resituating myself to learn all of the tricks to configing linux when the gui doesnt work, or i have some driver issues... IF i were to put up with all of that, in the end i dont have as many apps, or the same apps that i like to run. I used to run Redhat a while ago and it was hell installing things that required a dependency that had 200 versions. I just went mad. I ran it for a good time too but i had to eventually come to a realization that i had wine installed, and mplayer ran really poorly... and why dont i just run windows and not have these issues?
;) I'm a 3d animator and modeller working profesionally in games, film, television and print. All of my tinker time goes to those crafts and skills...
.
The idea of linux is appealing to me. Freedom is something i wish on us all. I admire the linux community for their ability to pull together for a cause and that is democracy. That is humanity at its best saying, we pride ourselves on our ability to be different and still highly capable. I admire that... and i want to be apart of that....
but i cant. It's not that i dislike linux at all. It is the fact that Linux still has its rather difficult areas that i dont want to invest time in learning because i'm 31 now. I'm not that 16 year old bbs sysop anymore
I cant afford to play with my OS all day. And i find it hard to find good solid help when you get a problem in linux. I mean its no different than say trying to find a solution for a windows problem, except you usually find more people with the same problem in windows, than in linux because of the number of users of windows. Googling answers is frustrating for linux. Its frustrating for windows solutions as well... I'm not saying its a breeze for windows. It's just i can read a solution for windows and say "ah.. i know what it is... i know where it is... " and i can go fix it.
Linux... i had no idea how to get X to use my 30inch HP monitor at 2560x1600. I googled for help on why my ATI driver wasnt displaying anything higher than 1280x800 and i found ZERO solutions. So i then searched on how to edit the config for x to allow higher resolutions and i found something.. but it didnt work.
Beleive me, its in me to tinker with this stuff but i have to at some point say... I have to do other things... and get work done and so forth. I'm not a GAIM fan either, i'd rather run Trillian in windows... I'd rather run newsbin pro in windows... I'd rather have the ease of use of installing codecs and things in windows. I have no idea how to compile things in linux and the thought of it scares the hell out of me cause i would have ot figure out how.
My command line knowlege in linux is terrlbe. Yes years ago i used to dial into shell accounts and multi task within the shell and use bash and everything but.. i STILL am not that great with the dam command line commands and syntax... nor do i know what most of the commands mean or do.
I just feel that there is a lot to overcome when using linux coming from a windows background. The major thing being ease of use. Linux still is not that easy. It is a much better GUI experience that it has ever been. It is a very nice os in general but also very very complex. I welcome the complexity, as long as it is can also be used easily. I guess OSX is considered this
Again my intent was to run Vista and Ubuntu on a dual boot... but i quickly realized that i just cant get ubuntu to render its gui at 2560x1600. I'm sure someone here can figure it out but i had to abort. I wanted to get this pc up and running again because its my surfing pc. I get my im's from work and emails and stuff on this pc. I work on a quadcore pc workstation for my work. I keep this pc running for communications.
I had vista and ubuntu setup to dual boot. I
If i had to chose it would be Obama... actually Dennis Kucinich is probably the only creditable one among them.
:)
I absolutely can not vote for Hillary. She is a political whore in ever sense of the phrase. Her arrogance is more important than her duty. She is a spineless weasel. Hillary Clinton is the female version of Joseph Lieberman. Like Lieberman, Hillary will do and say anything to remain in power. She also stands for nothing. She is the exact reason i hate politics. And it has nothing to do with "liberal" talk radio bullshit. I am a liberal progressive person... although more in a libertarian sense. But i am not a party follower of any party. Fuck political parties... All of them.
We're looking for Jesus, not the fucking New York Giants. In other words, I'm looking for a man or woman to do the job, for the people... i dont give a shit about the team. We need serious help.. and i do not beleive in Jesus
We're in trouble. Politics is a game and not a service to man. It is a corrupt system that caters to the ultra rich, that benefits no working man or women... or their children in todays society. We're all victoms and we have no power at all. VOTING is not a fucking power. It is a bullshit system and we all know it.
Obama... i dont think he'll do a dam thing. Being BLACK does not make him untouchable. He is a Black, so what. Many Black politicians are shitty people, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are just two that come to mind, but i'll gladly toss in Clarance Thomas, Charlie Rangal and Alan Keys as well.
BLACK means nothing. The fact that we look at Obama as a "BLACK" candidate.. is racist. He is a man and a politician which means he has access to powerful people willing to give him power and riches for favors...
He is just as curruptable... and i dont think he gives a shit about people anymore than the next.
If he is our best bet... so be it. I'll push the button, pull the lever... But really Dennis Kucinich is the real deal, as is Ralph Nader... both of which will never have a chance in this political system of ours because they are people who WILL make changes... and CHANGE that benefits the people... will never EVER be implemented when we have corporations and lobbiests in complete control of our two party system... which is not a 2 party system in theory... but in reality is kept a 2 party system by the powers that be....
There is no difference. I'm with George Carlin on this one. Let the fucking country burn... I'll watch and laugh because there are great people out there that could make this country for the better of man.... ALL MAN... but we're powerless and just too fucking dumb to know whats good for us. Nothing will change your morals and ethics like a big fat check in your hand.
America is not a 2 party system... and yet it is...
It's all a show folks. Buy into it if you want, but nothing is going to change.
This is exactly my experience this week with Ubuntu. I decided this was the week to try Vista and Ubuntu. I installed both 64 bit versions and i found that Ubuntu actually had more drivers for my pc hardware than Vista did :) My network card had no drivers in Vista, but Ubuntu did. I found that quite funny.
:)
:(
Anyways After installing Ubuntu i found out quite quickly that ATI's driver was only giving me 1280x800 as a max resolution. While that is an ok resolution, I wanted to run at 2560x1600, which is the native resolution of my 30inch HP monitor. ATI's XP driver had no problems doing this, but in Linux the driver hated me. I did infact try to edit the xorg config file and all it ended up doing is giving me a virtual desktop size of 2560x1600, even though i did edit it where the monitor rez and refresh lines were in the xorg config. So i was puzzled.
Well anyways i wanted to check out Beryl, so i tried to get it working but X kept complaining about some thing in the ATI driver and i never got it to work.
I ended up then just playing around with the installed software, and checking out the package installer. Linux has improved since my redhat running days... and i think it has come a long long way but in the end i decided that it was still not worth the difficulties of learning the "finer points" of linux. By "Finer points" I mean the difficult, hacky stuff that isnt exactly ui friendly etc. I used to run bbs's with dos, qemm, desqview back in the day.. i can deal with configs and all kinds of pc problems but in the end i figured that while linux is a nice platform, putting up with the difficulty of converting isnt worth the effort because the apps are not there yet. Why put up with the difficult times, when in the end, the apps arent there to run?
Windows is easier to setup and get going and has more apps...
Vista is nice. I ended up liking its ui and how the search is integrated into the desktop. I'm no DRM fan, nor a microsoft fan really. Vista 64 ended up running ridiculously slow on my pc, using 100% cpu to do render Aero, is just silly. I tried the 32bit version of Vista and things seem to be running smoother but CPU usage is still higher than XP and for all the stink about moving the gui to the GPU, it really does use way too much main cpu. Frankly XP is faster off the main cpu than Aero is off the gpu.
I think Linux really has a solid future. It's been around for a long long time and it continues to evolve quite nicely. It is still behind in terms of user friendly usability. It's still a coders os... and thats fine... But it also needs to get even easier to do tasks. Frankly the silly program names also make it very difficult to guess which app does what
Linux needs to keep evolving, but at a faster rate. I wouldnt be terribly broken up if Vista was the end of the road for microsoft.... that is unless Linux doesnt improve. Linux isnt there yet for me.... but i do think it will be shortly. More and more people are running linux and i think it is gaining ground...
It just lacks the app support
Anyways... I'm in Vista32 on this computer... and XP on my workstation... because the apps are there, and they network easily to each other and have drivers for my printer...
I love my Intel QX6700 hack job :) Absolutely amazing. I hope AMD is around for a long time because i love seeing Intel backed against a corner in a comepetitive heat, they surely know how to deleiver performance when pushed. AND INTEL NEEDS TO BE PUSHED. We all remember the 200mhz 210mz 220mhz days ;) How fucking long did it take intel to go in 15mhz increments from 200mhz to 1ghz!?@$~!@$!$!@$!@$%!@$
It is clear that the government decides for you... everything. This includes how to raise your children. Land of the Free....freaking Bullshit
Microsoft's special ops are probably hunting down every man named "dick"
double oops "Chris Rock or any black man, should be ne looked at as inferior in any shape or form"
should obviously read as "shouldnt be"
I love Chris Rock. Poor guy is always used in examples in recent years. There are great black comics such as Paul Mooney that say far worse things aimed at whites and other people... and Pauls a hero of mine. He wrote 50% of Richar Pryors stand up act years ago. Pauls a legend, but rarely is known by most folks.
Anyways... Everyone should say what they feel, when ever they want. We'll be better for it. It's often things like Comedy and political speech that often challenge our own notions of freedom of speech. Its often hard to allow someone to say something you dont like, that is the challenge.. but it is also the greatest thing we have going in this country.
oops.. i meant "we're not talkign about the past, we're talking about 2007"
Oh please stop with the white guilt. Enough already. You're not a slave owner. You're a white American as Chris Rock is a Black American. Both equal and protected by free speech and free expression laws. Do you see what you're doing? You're allowing the entire idea of free speech to be qualified by color. You're giving up your right because you feel guilty about being white. This has nothing to do with the past and what has been done to black people. Chris Rock was never a slave and you were never a Slave owner. You are both the same, equal and protected by the same rights. Ok Blacks in the past have been enslaved and treated horribly. So have the Chinese... We're not talking about 2007. When do we let go of the past? Do you think Chris Rock likes to think that white people look at him and feel sorry for him because hes black? Because that is what you're doing. By accepting the double standard, you are admiting that Chris Rock is inferior. That is what you're saying. That is completely wrong. Chris Rock or any black man, should be ne looked at as inferior in any shape or form. They shouldnt be looked at as superior either. The whole idea of EQUAL RIGHTS... is that we share the laws.
I think it is very condescending towards blacks to accept this double standard. Its as if white people are saying "well, we're white and we're superior, so we'll let you have that power"
That just sick.
Be equal. Be proud of what you are. Drop the white guilt. Treat black people as equals and as a fellow man. Blacks have their social problems as do whites. Blacks have in the past been treated horribly, but in todays day and age... WE ARE ALL TREATED horribly by those in power. The people in power... have us fighting among ourselfs as a distraction. This is a top down media generated soap opera of black vs white because they know it will fuel opinion and interest. They know Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are political hitmen. They know all of this... and they dont give a shit about the public... BLACK AND WHITE.
There are larger issues that affect us all such as health care, and good jobs, the huge debt our country faces... there is SO much wrong with our country that affects everyone.... Dont let this media driven soap opera(for commercial profit) distract you.
Protected speech is to protect unpopular speech. That includes racial humor. If we were only allowed to say things that we all agree upon... what is the reason for protected free speech?
Dont let this double standard continue... Its easy to say "well blacks have had it hard over the years and i feel bad about that.. so ok its fine that blacks can say nigger, or nappy, or hos and i cant"... But in the big picture, to do so, destroys the idea of equal rights, and free speech.
Ok so you've proven that he has gone after blacks and jews. Well did you know that he also goes after rednecks? He has made fun of his own brother, and called him a redneck and he dismisses his brother with the same short handed silliness that he has while making any harsh comment in jest.
It's way of talking. He also used to call the New York Knicks, Car Jackers in Shorts... Why? Because they were black? No.. because they were Thugs that were known to flagrantly foul other players on the court. And they often were in trouble outside of the game of basketball. But they were also black. So are all car jackers and thugs black? or were they just making silly jokes?
The people he claimed were affirmative action hires at the NY times were that jackass black reporter jason blair who wrote complete lies on purpose, and had absolutely no fucking credentials for being there. That is why he refered to him as an affirmative action hire, because he was black, and had no reason for being there because he was a shitty person and a shitty journalist... and a liar.
How about the characters on his show... where he's made endless fun at rush limbaugh, religious figures, bill clinton, and many others. He used to call Tim Russert "Tubby" and they're good friends. You have to stop looking at it one sided. He has attacked everything from all angles in silly comments. He's very dry in his sense of humor, and very dark. Its not his fault that you dont get it.
Don Imus has dieing children of all ages come to his kids with cancer ranch, where he treats them like human beings during the toughest time of their life, and probably their last moments on this planet. He treats them with dignity and shows them a different life than just being wired up in a hospital bed, sick and worrying about dieing. Don Imus brings kids of ALL colors to his ranch, and treats them with dignity.
He has raised over 250million dollars for cancer research and Sudden infant death syndrome... NONE of which come with a a "whites only" requirement.
You really need to understand that Don Imus is a radio personality doing humor, just like Richard Pryor does humor, or Paul Moooney, or Eddie Murphy, or Dave Chappelle, or any black comic using race to make us laugh. It is just jokes, and the people behind the jokes are what matter. On stage, its a performance. Didnt your parents tell you that tv isnt real?
This is a show. SHOW. Dave Chappelle did a bit called "The Niggers" on comedy central... No one was outraged then. Paul Mooney has done endless jokes about white people... and i love them both dearly, as well as the other black comics above because they get free speech and what it can do for all of us. It makes us laugh at each other, rather than kill one another. They're all great comics...
Jesse Jackson has publically made statements showing that he hates jews, and Al Sharpton has also said things racist against white people and have done plenty to railroad innocent white people, and never appoligizing to them when he was wrong. He even owes money per court order and hasnt paid it up to white police officers whos lives he has ruined.
Even if Don Imus were racist, he is still legally allowed to say whatever he wants. There is a double standard when it comes to what whites can say vs what blacks can say. That in itself is racist. There is only free speech. The second we apply a color standard to it, then we're institutionalizing racism.
This is going to get much worse... and everyone is affraid to talk now in public or at their job. Is that really the world America was meant to be? The land of the scared to speak?
When is it ok to talk?
Do I have to wait for a black self promoting pseudo leader that hates jews, such as Jesse Jackson to tell me?
Is that the America you want?
This isnt the civil rights movements. There arent 10's of thousands of black americans marching in the street over this. The younger generation doesnt care, and are far more liberal with language and simple find
Bingo. I'm so tired of this bullshit victimization from so called Black leaders.
But you have to remember that it is not illegal to be offensive. You are allowed to be offended under free speech and expression. That is the entire idea of protected speech and expression.
What he said was not an FCC violation in any shape or form. He could have said "nappy headed niggers" and it still would be legal.
Frankly the FCC's regulation of certain words is a fucking criminal act in my opinion. The FCC violates our civil liberties by doing this... But here's the wierd part.. The FCC allows the use of the word "nigger" but not "fuck"
The government shouldnt be telling us what words we can and cant say, and neither should Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. Al Sharpton said last night on Bill Marher's Real Time that it is absolutely different when Don Imus says nappy headed ho's than when a black rapper uses it. That is RACIST far more than anything Don Imus ever said.
According to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, Whites are not allowed to speak freely. That sounds like not allowing blacks to drink from white water fountains if you ask me. Look how far we come. Jesse Jackson has expressed his hate for jews, and Al Sharpton has expressed his hatred of white people and is on video doing a shadey deal with someone. He's also never appologized for ruining a group of white police officers lives during the Tawana Brawley case.... The cops counter sued him when they were found innocent of the rape charges that Al Sharpton was hell bend on hanging them with.... but AL NEVER apollogized to them, AND HE NEVER PAID UP THE MONEY THAT THE COURT AWARDED THE WHITE COPS.
Al Sharpton is a peice of shit. Jesse Jackson hates jews. Stupid Network news allowed these two to weasel their way into the public eye again through the use of our white guilt, and the corporate networks need to profit off sleeze. Thats all this is. Its a media built soap opera based on nothing but a fucking joke said by a radio jock that has in the past called the NY Knicks "Car Jackers in shorts" and no one cared then.
exactly. The people didnt go berzerk over the nipple... the MEDIA went berzerk of the nipple. The same thing in this case. There was no huge public outcry from millions of black Americans. Sharpton equated this to Dr King marching in the streets... The only thing wrong with that is Dr King had 10's of thousands marching with him. Sharpton and Jesse had 50 people.
This was all played out in the media at the top levels. This is a top down outrage white guilt trip. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson played a stock market game. Their outrage is equivelant to a corporations bullshit press release that is released to drive stock up, although this was created to drive stock down. It had nothing to do with black Americans, it had nothing to do with free speech obviously. They just held our country hostage for their own personal profit, at the expense of our concept of free speech. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and the other wannabe's that were on tv all week, have stated that they are hell bend on ridding America of offensive behavior and speech.
I find this scary. I wish Imus took them to court instead of appologized on the air. He should have sued Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson for ruining his carear over a joke. In court he could have proved it was a joke, and either way he could easily prove that anything he says is protected speech, and there is nothing Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson could do about it. But instead this was played out in the media, where bullshit applies and laws do not.
He should have never appologized, and just said "your a criminal and a peice of shit Al Sharpton" and "Jesse Jackson, it's know that you hate jews..." Then just sued them both for extortion.
