How ignorant do you have to be to get a sign made and not check the spelling and grammar like ten times before you get it printed? The morons in government who are responsible for these mistake should be ousted and cut off without pay.
If you and your wife are in cars commuting home and you are both stuck behind a gravel truck wouldn't you get in the fast lane and go around it? The gravel truck will still get to its destination just as fast but now you are home faster too. Google Analytics is like the gravel truck and you and your wife are the content of the page.
Wow, where to start. The only thing I agree with is that a President cannot and should not be expected to know everything. The problem is McCain I'm sure has been informed on what Net Neutrality is and came down on the wrong side of it. He is for easier challenges to patents but then comes down on the side of copyright holders even though that house of cards is already collapsing.
Now you have a point that Bush is not the smartest man on the earth but then you mention greed, terror and imply that he is evil. I would like to point out to you that he didn't try to seize power and stay in office after his two terms like Chavez did in Venezuela. He also has never squashed his critics and in fact the Unites States still has the freedom of speech and it is one of the few countries to have it. Therefore I have to argue that you mentioning greed, terror and evilness are disingenuous arguments if not simply for matters of scale. He's not infallible and makes mistakes but he is far from evil.
Then you say that Obama would not be a total disaster. But is not experience mostly how we look towards the future and this is the most inexperienced candidate in the history of the Presidency. He is also the most liberal in the history of the Presidency. I'd be very afraid of disastrous consequences if Obama wins.
Then you go on to compare McCain to Bush using the already false assumption that Bush is obsessed with power (that is why he is stepping down in February 2009 right?). Secondly you say that McCain wants to destroy all Democrats but he is THE ONLY Republican that has stepped across the isle to create legislation as many times as he has. So your argument makes no sense. In fact he may still declare a Democrat as his VP candidate.
Now is he taking stabs at some of the Dems stupid policies? Of course! This is an election year and yet the Democrats are doing some stupid shit. For instance they are trying to say all that stuff you learn in Economics 101 is a lie and that the laws of Supply and Demand are a fraud. They repeatedly say that drilling for more oil will not lower the price of crude. This is an all out lie on their part. If they want to argue against drilling for another reason then fine but to attack the intelligence of the American People is moronic and dangerous.
Lastly, I actually hate Diebold or whatever they changed their name to now and I want votes to count for real even if my candidate doesn't win.
Actually I believe we all evolve. I just don't think they were a separate species in the scientific meaning of the word. I think if I met a Neanderthal today I could make woopy with one and create a viable offspring.
Our finding that the Neanderthal and human genomes are at least 99.5% identical
Since supposedly that line is extinct it is really impossible to see a live Neanderthal and tell that there are true anatomical differences in them to make them a different species. In other words the science is inconclusive.
Granted Al Gore really didn't appear to be that dumb back then and the opposition had to twist and manufacture controversy but after all this manbearpig stuff I think we can all agree that we are better off without Gore.
You know it is sad but true. I didn't vote for McCain in the primaries but he is who the Republican party got stuck with. He needs to wake up and start learning to have a real tech platform and soon. For one thing he needs to get on the right side and be FOR net neutrality even if he doesn't think that means legislation is needed just yet.
Barack Hussein Obama (Barry Soetoro) may have a good tech platform on his website but HE DIDN'T WRITE IT! In fact I doubt he knows about half the stuff up there. Even if that is his tech platform I think we can all agree that electing a President that has already started down the slippery slope of saying its ok to let babies die by denying them medical care would be a really bad idea.
It is worth noting that the FasTrak system is deployed throughout California and not just in the Bay Area. I have four tollways near my home alone that use the system and I live in Southern California. It is a given that if it is a Toll Road and it is in California that it uses FasTrak. The only exception may be toll bridges.
You do realize that you are ON AN AD SUPPORTED WEBSITE. If Slashdot stopped being profitable then you could not post here. Therefore you are stuck in a self-defeating argument. I don't even have to argue with you because you argued against yourself with your own actions.
I am not against advertising, but I am against adverts that:
1) Suck up 50% of my CPU.
You mean like those Dice ads that Slashdot was displaying forever even though I emailed them repeatedly and told them it was crashing my browser and slowing down my computer?
If you need to do "A" to get to "B" and "B" needs to be done to get to "C" but you can put A,B, or C in any order and "A" takes the longest but "B" and "C" is where the content of the page is located then why not put "A" at the end?
I really have no idea what you are talking about because I go on a site that uses Google Analytics and it loads fast every time and in addition I never see the "connecting to google analytics" in the status bar. This same website also uses Woopra and I do see that in the status bar but it still loads fast. Quite frankly I think there is something else wrong with the website you are talking about.
Thanks for your car analogy that is full of utter fail. The reason I think NASA should go back to Apollo is threefold. First of all it is the last time the really used parachutes. Second of all it is a design similar to Apollo so much of the design can be re-used. And third of all their current design failed it's first test.
Ferrari DOES look back at its previous generations cars to improve upon the new ones. They don't look that far back though when they have learned so much since then. NASA hasn't learned squat since then on parachutes because they didn't use them. Really I wish they wouldn't use parachutes at all but whatever.
No no no. It works if I uninstall firefox and delete all the files and then install 3.0 but why should I have to do that. It's not that it is incompatible that is the problem; it is that it doesn't upgrade correctly.
I actually did run Windows 98SE up until about two years ago and I actually didn't have any spyware or viruses. A patched 98SE machine was pretty stable in fact. The only problem is the lack of support for certain devices because M$ stopped updating it.

Do you have scientific research that would make it false?

Or maybe it was geography that split them apart?
No quite there. Parts of that documentary were debunked. Not all of it can then be thrown out. They bring up good points.
This is Slashdot. Don't you know they can't handle the truth?
Actually I believe we all evolve. I just don't think they were a separate species in the scientific meaning of the word. I think if I met a Neanderthal today I could make woopy with one and create a viable offspring.
Since supposedly that line is extinct it is really impossible to see a live Neanderthal and tell that there are true anatomical differences in them to make them a different species. In other words the science is inconclusive.
that's because Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens are the same species!
Ya, it s a trick he learned in Nam.

No, he is right. They need to start with the old design and look at how technology can improve it instead of re-inventing the wheel all over again.
Why even use parachutes? Why not use a lifting body and have that have chutes you know just in case.

My point is the installer should check for this and fix it. I shouldn't have to jump through a million hoops to get it to work.
