See, but you're not asked to put it away, just asked to turn it off. A Gameboy Advance running on batteries probably puts off as much interference as a pacemaker.
Maybe this will quell the hysteria about electronics on flights. Ever been asked to 'turn off your gameboy' during takeoff and landing? They asked me to turn off my mp3 player too.
I would think they see GBAs so often that it wouldn't be a stretch to have them say "Oh, it's just a Gameboy. 's all good."
Granted, it wasn't the end of the world. But it wasn't what I wanted to do either.
You are unaware of how this delegation business works. They don't claim to represent. They claim to represent the people who sent them, and that is all. Their local GOP sent them. YOU did not. I did not.
Then don't owe you anything because they do not represent you, nor imply they represent you.
They are not trying to keep their politics secretive, but it's within reason to believe that they would like to keep their personal privacy. Would you be willing to sign your full name, home and cell phone numbers, and address with every Slashdot comment? Just go ahead and put it in your sig. Email address too. Should fit pretty well.
Maybe it's because you don't want your personal information appended to a simple act like commenting on stories. The delegates at the RNC are only responsible to the state party that sent them. They have no public responsibility to you or anyone else. Same as how you do not have the need to give your personal contact information to me.
Just because these people have many interests vested in politics (applies to fat cats in each party, keep in mind 8 of the 10 wealthiest senators are Democrats) and you'd like to think it's a huge illegitimate crime ring doesn't mean thats the prevailing practice.
Well, now that Indymedia.com has provided that information to you, go do it and prove yourself correct, tough guy. Or just keep throwing conjectures out and sip your frappuchino. Either way, you can convince yourself you've won!
Sorry pal. But unless you are a Republican from the state that delegated them, they don't (and shouldn't) care about you. DNC delegates listen to Democrats, RNC delegates listen to Republicans.
A Republican on Indymedia.com would be a rare creature indeed. These people were chosen by their state GOP to represent exactly what their platform decided on. They wouldn't have sent them otherwise. A candidate has to pick and choose his platform with a compromise of what he wants and what people will vote for. The delegate (who, again, unless you are a member of the party of his state) already has their platform chosen, and there is no wiggling room. Get the picture?
The point is that any opinion anyone offers to these delegates is too little, too late.
Your employer would probably not appreciate if you were a red pinko communist. Likewise, the readers of Indymedia definately would not appreciate the fact that these men are representing something they have very strong feelings of dislike/hatred for.
The reason someone would accuse you of being a red pinko communist is because that person dislikes you for one reason or another and would like to muck up your life in any way possible. One could convincingly argue that the people who published this information dislikes these delegates strongly due to previous articles. Why else would they publish their info if not to grief them? It sure isn't because they like them.
If you can tell me a way to investigate avenues of illegitimate funding by only using a name, address, phone number, and hotel room without doing anything illegal I'll be impressed. But you can't. There is nothing productive that can come out of this besides a letter to his home (which will unlikely be read, and won't cause his magic conversion to the other party.)
Is publishing their personal information any different than me drafting up a list of "red pinko communists" with your name on it knowing that it will cause you social stigma and may destroy your career and friendhips?
Lets not kid ourselves, nobody is going to use this information to send these men fruitbaskets or singing telegrams.
Our objectives are to:
- Supply anti-RNC groups with data on the delegates to use in whatever way they see fit.
Uhh... Reading something like that makes me not want to give the benefit of the doubt. What could any 'anti-RNC' groupie do with that new information that is not unethical or harassing? They don't vote Republican, so the delegate really isn't interested in what they have to say, so that's out.
The buzzword a few years ago for new FPS games was "Halo Killer" (especially for that awful game kill.zone). And yet, still, every FPS has yet to trump Halo in popularity. Now the buzzword is "iPod killer." Methinks Apple is still going to be selling these at the current rate for a while yet, so welcome your not-very-new iPod mini overlords.
Not hard at all, particularly if it's made clear that it is the voter's responsibility to make sure their vote receipt reflects who they wanted to vote for.
Then we won't have this idiocy of 'pregnant chads' or 'hanging chads.' As far as I see it, if you aren't smart enough to make sure a voting pen penetrates a punch card, you shouldn't be voting anyway. But it doesn't matter, I'm voting for Kodos.
If "eating Cheetos and drinking Mountain Dew Code Red while complaining on a message board about how Lucas ruined the Star Wars movies while arguing about whether Padme or Leia is hotter" all day instead of working is better for you, then yes.
The sad part is that most of us know more about OO.o and Office than we do cars, so the analogy is not even needed. The Yugo comment was supposed to be funny.

Zach Morris would be so proud of us...
And possibly Screech.

"No, they wont!"

The intended goal probably has nothing to do with wanting to let the American people know who REALLY selects the president.
I'd agree with you, but my Mumia shirt is in the wash, my soy mocha latte didn't cost $6, and there is a black helicopter circling outside.

Girlfriend?
You'd save money even buying a midrange laptop!
Are you crazy? This is "teh INTARWEB!!111" Pornography is nearly impossible to find.
Wow, the first comment that isn't a penis joke. That deserves modding up regardless of content.
But yeah, SATA rocks it to Russia (not Soviet Russia.)
[candidate]: "A chicken in every pot, a hybrid vehicle in every garage, and fiber in every home!"
[crowd]: Huzzah!!
I'd vote for that.
The idea is to use your thumb and little finger. But it still bugs me. MX500 for me

Or those idrive Windows CE equipped cars that went wonky.
I thought it said "Did Your Code Ever Make Anyone Dead?"
That time will come, but first the killer robots need some touching up around the joints...
