    First, I do live in California
    Second I voted for Chuck Devore in the primary
    Third, I do know her voting record and her public policy stance and just her support of abortion through the spread of lies makes my stomach turn.
    Freakonomics did a study that said that the reason people who raise more money win is because they have more supporters. However starting with lots of money doesn't affect the outcome.

    Look at violent crime. And your lower reported crime rate comes from Wikipedia. How about you show me the actual source?

    They came first for the Rich, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't Rich. Then they came for the Business Owners, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Business Owner. Then they came for the Gun Owners, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Gun Owner. Then they came for me and by that time no one was left to speak up.

    Socialism in any form and by any other name is still Socialism. Vietnam is doing ok because they adopted capitalism. Not the other way around.

    Thanks, I've been trying to identify and foe the bigoted, partisan hacks around here, so I can filter out their idiotic BS. Spun made the list long ago, but I'm proud to say you've made it, too! Congrats!

    Actually even though Stephen Colbert never actually tells us his political leanings his viewers are almost all liberals. The thing with liberals is they have a sense of entitlement and they think they government should have a massive role in society. So they won't litter because they are slobs. They will litter because they assume the government will have hired hundres of street cleaners to clean up after them.

    The Enterprise iDrac lets you see the console even during boot. The command line IS poorly documented but once you work out the commands it is simple to shutdown, reboot, power cycle, or turn on a remote system.

  9. Is this whole article and discussion by HP? on Where Does Dell Go After Losing 3Par? · · Score: 1

    Oh man, I smell me some paid shrills. Dell has issues but lets look at HP for a second. HP just forced out their CEO. Not good. Then HP killed all server sales they were getting through Cisco. Cisco now exclusively sells IBM servers. They used to sell HP. Cisco is out for blood too with HP. They want them out of business. HP wants Cisco out of business. THAT is not going to happen. Cisco has the enterprise on lockdown. Then HP turns down business left and right. If they find out you sell Cisco or Dell they won't even partner with you.

    Basically HP just locked themselves in the bridge of the Titanic and told the orchestra to keep playing as the ship sinks.

    Well the solution is simple. For Business machines like Optiplex and Precision the default option is 3 year Warranty with next business day parts and service. Dell's rarely have problems in the corporate environment because when they do fail they get fixed the next day by Dell themselves. Same goes for 3 year advanced exchange warranty on monitors.

    Ahem. Remember that you have to account for the Bayseian Filter in front of the sensor. So that kicks it down to about one 1920x1080 screen. Then take into account noise. Then account for lens abberations. So yeah, uhm I'd like a higher res thank you.

    Because when you commit one crime and get away with it your balls swell to the size of huge watermelons and you think you are invincible. Then you commit even more heinous crimes and usually violent ones at that. Then these violent criminals get locked up for LONG PERIODS OF TIME. LIKE DECADES in most instances.
