So, we let how many thousands or tens of thousands of fraudulent votes be cast so you don't have to go home and retrieve your wallet? Fuck you very much, sir.
The busses are there to get people to a single polling place, since they might not have cars, and might not need cars. Some are handicapped and have never owned a car.
Except if they're Republican busses, then democrats slash all the tires so they cannot bus anyone.
That's also why we don't want to have ID requirements. A great many people don't have state issued id's, since they don't drive.
That's interesting. I don't think I've ever met anybody who did not have some kind of government issued ID. I've met a lot of people, too. I think most rational people understand that if you don't have any form of ID at all, you're either a.) probably not keeping very close tabs on the political issues at hand, or b.) lying for the purposes of committing vote fraud.
Let's turn this around: Republicans, being a minority, want to see as many restrictions and hoops as possible on voting, because it helps them. That explains their support for measures that are biased against people who vote for Democrats typically. Even if some Republicans are excluded from voting because they don't have an ID, even more Democrats will be excluded for the same reason.
And you Democrats want to go scrape up all of the illiterate, deranged, homeless bridge-dwellers you can find in order to get democratic votes. Nevermind that an illiterate, deranged homeless person has no hope of issuing a knowledgable vote, or having any situational awareness regarding the issues at hand.
If you hold the moral value that the community is important, you should not rest until every American can vote as easily as you can vote.
I've voted in three states, in rural, suburban, and inner city precincts, and not one time have I ever been prevented from voting, had difficulty voting, or found the process to be overly complex. My advice to those who think themselves disenfranchised w/ regard to voting is to think, plan, and execute. Simple as that.
I guess that means they started the Newton Message Pad project in 1978, then, only two years after the company was founded... Or the iPod project in 1986, 5 years before the mp3 standard was adopted. Helluva chrystal ball they have over there in Cupertino, huh??? Turd.
I have a real big problem with a potential employer having access to the entirety of my financial history. Hell, I'd rather be forced to give 'em a list of all the bitches and hos I've bedded in the past 7 years than be forced to show them how I choose to spend my money. My financial dealings are my business, not my employer's.
It's not like I'm borrowing money from them, they can cut their losses and fire me at any time if they figure I'm not worth my salary.
Curiously enough I know a reasonable number of people who have moved *from* OS X to Linux. Since the original wave of migrations to OS X (which was non-trivial) the state of things like WPA support, wireless roaming and general desktop tidyness and responsiveness has improved that a lot of the original reasons to migrate have gone. I'm seeing several hundred unique users per day on a tiny, unpublicised, backwater of the internet by OS X users... looking at Linux install guides.
Big whoop, so a few people are putzing around with linux on their new Intel based macs, you think that's some kind of indication that Joe Blow's grandmother is pondering a move to puzzleville? Hardly.
I think he's right, Joe, in order to avoid being modded down you've got to cite a source that inserts the boilerplate anti-administration spin along with the facts, so as to placate the moonbats. Make a note of that, please...
I don't think tritonman was referring to PlameGate, which was really Rove and Cheney more than Bush anyway.
GreenSwirl needs a dirty swirly since he/she apparently hasn't read the news lately - Armitage was Novak's source. Armitage was anti-Iraq invasion, therefore your Rove/Cheney conspiracy theory went down the drain. Now that the facts are out, babbling on about Rove/Cheney in this instance only makes you look like a fool w/ tunnel vision.
Crossover will not survive in corporations when Parallels is around.
The only windows apps I really need are IE (for web dev compatibility testing) and Outlook (since Entourage doesn't fully support Exchange calendars and master contact lists), and I'd rather not boot windows to do that. So Crossover wins in my case. Also, Crossover does what I need with a much, much smaller processor and memory footprint, which is a large bonus when running a notebook on battery.
As far as Office and iTunes go, aren't the Mac-native versions of both programs better, anyway?
Yes, but the Mac version of Outlook, Entourage, doesn't work seemlessly with Exchange's meeting scheduling and master contact lists. So Outlook is worth the price of admission for those of us suffering with our IT dept's absurd dependency on MS Exchange.
But the real bonanza is that I can run Poker Stars hold 'em app (for fun at home) and various PC web browsers (to check web dev compatibility at work) all without having to start Windows in Parallels...
The only real way to determine which OS people really prefer is to make windows, macosx and linux ALL free - which isn't possible, of course. In any case, IMHO, I think that if everyone were left to make a decision based only on their individual prference, MacOSX would kick the shit out of linux, and probably be at parity or better with windows.
This technology is in use all over the place, along w/ geotargeted marketing, law/regulations compliance is a leading reason for using IP Intelligence.

That list is FUBAR. There is no. way. in. the. world. that the University of Pittsburgh is a better institution of higher learning than Carnegie Mellon University... Not even in the same galaxy there.
No. I know a couple of people who earn a modest living from Texas Hold 'em, and several who augment their income quite nicely by the same means, but I don't know a single soul doing either with Chess.
Simply because humans are predisposed to violence (which is still under debate by our brainy science dudes) does not imply that we should not strive for a world without war.
I live in an area where "intentional communities", similar to communes, are pretty abundant. The "intent" of these communities is normally based around peace, love, happiness, non-violence, and shared wealth. The reality in the majority of these places (IMHO) is that they often mutate into the exact opposite of the intent, where hierarchical power structures develop, animosity abounds, and a constant reliance on invariably ineffectual conflict resolution is the order of the day. Power, animosity and ineffective (or misguided approaches to) conflict resolution (even though many of these communities have many so called "experts" in CR) breed violence...
These places are world society in microcosm. So, if you've got a small number of individuals who come together, strike a covenant, and try to live peacefully and amicably w/ one another, and in most cases it either does not work at all, or the strong rule and the weak are left to cope with being emasculated, humiliated, or otherwise disenfranchised, how do you expect it to work in macrocosm????
When we've achieved a world without conflict or the realistic threat of conflict, we'll most likely have been enslaved.
And all this time, stupid ol' me has been choosing the server OS based on compatibility with applications assessed to be best for the tasks at hand.
Any IT dept head that has people selecting the OS prior to assessing current and future app compatibility should contemplate how they got to that regretable point.
I've had nearly every first generation powerbook (and macbook pro) since the Powerbook 540. Never had a DOA, never had to have critical internal parts replaced, and never even a dead display pixel. I did have to exchange the battery on my MBP, and I seem to recall exchanging a power supply or two over the years. The first gen issues w/ Apple portables are way overblown.

Maybe so, but at least we we don't have to wait six months before we can see someone who'll tell us to FOAD...

The simple answer is that you and your ilk won't accept reality. Nov. 8th is going to be a very, very satisfying day... Again...

I won't have an opportunity to say no. There isn't even cellular phone service in my town, so I'm not gonna hold my breath waiting for Sprint WiMAX!
The real reason they've dumped it is because anyone can buy Parallels now for 80 bucks, and vmware is getting into the ring.
Let's check back in a week and see how it does!
So go eat some smoked crap, Joe!
Go and configure a Dell w/ the same or similar specs as the newly announced Mac Pro. Look at the price. We'll wait...

Then I don't accept your lack of acceptance...
