Ok let me ask you one thing...how long ago were you in the military..according to a study done at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, 79% of basic families situations (with mother, father and child[where one parent is military and the other is elsewhile employed at a higher pay then the military) had to go onto welfare because the military pay was not enough.
You speak of numerous benefits..yet you only list one which is the VA home loan, of which there is a class action lawsuit because they are trying to get rid of the program(which includes removing the benefit from already signed contracts, of people who are serving in Iraq right now) I know when i tried to apply for the guaranteed home loan, of which I was legally entitled to by my contract, I was denied because I signed up for less then 4 years in the military(my enlistment was 2 years and 19 weeks). I know personally at least 20 veterans who have been screwed over by this benefit
Another side benefit that the military gives you is if you are injured while in the military, you are granted medical benefits. My right knee and both of my ankles were all injured(the specialists i have gone to say they are 35-40% dehabilitating) were considered 10% by the medical review board, and when i have to go see a military doctor about them, I have to drive 3.5 hours to get to one, with about a 2 1/2 month waiting period for appointments.
Look at all these people who sign up for contracts, to have them manditorily extended while they are in Iraq. How many companies do you think can pull this one without getting into trouble. I am sorry but when I signed the contract there was nothing in it about legthening my contract because Dubya wants to show he has the bigger dick in the world.
Letting the military collect this kind of information on kids and young adults is outrageous and an invasion into thier privacy. I know people who have gone to court for a restraining order from recruiters because they could not lead a normal life without the recruiter stalking them. Recruiters should only be allowed on scholl during job fairs. Other then that they have thier offices for anyone to walk in and visit. And stop with the federal financing being tied into the recruiting BS.
Just another inaccurate flame on windows.
From every article i have read, not once does it say this inofrmation was on a windows based laptop..you made 2 false assumptions. #1 The company does not use windows based machines, citing cost effectiveness.And #2 i believe you were referring to an older story about the information being on a laptop that got stolen...And you got a karma bonus...do your homework before posting idiotic comments
i only have one thing to say..Canada..socialized medicine there for how long and 9 out of my 10 canuck friends agree its great. Hell even people from the us are going to doctors there rather then here
actually it costs the taxpayers a great deal if you really look at it. We pay for not only the politicians salry, but the judges who make the decisions, the appeals judges who overlook thier decisions, and all the way up the line. What i am saying is that we have other major problems to deal with besides fair use. Look at California with its record deficit. Look at social security, look at welfare, look at illegal aliens. Not saying this isnt a good fight and won that shouldnt be battled, but there is a time and a place for everything...Personally IMHO there are too many bought out politicians for this to ever get solved.
This should not be modded troll this should be modded insightful..We have mor epressing issues in this country besides fighting over this. One of the reasons the television agencies want fair use pulled is so instead of you taping the seasons of your favorite shows, they can sell it to you and make a hefty profit. How about these officials argue over something really necessary and stop skirting the real issues facing the welfare of this society
now i agree that bluetooth is an awesome technology i do not agree with your point that so many laptops and desktops have them. Most of the time, unless you add on bluetooth, your dont see it much on any laptop or desktop...especially desktops..the only desktops i have seen with bluetooth have been self customized, or from alienware
I am gonna buy one to keep in my car in case of an accident...theres practical purpose for you..why take pictures when you can shoot video..and what about those times you want to go to the beach but dont wanna risk sand screwing up your camera..i think these will be big and will last for a bit..too many practical used around them..especially if some company comes up with a cheaper way of getting the pictures off and burning them
OK so right now in california the stores get tpo pull in the $8.00 charge..then what do they do with the money,..they sit on it an make interest until the collector(the california gvt.) comes to get the money..hmmm california gets more money, the stores get more moeny, and the enduser is screwed again..this sounds like crv tax all over again!
Actually yes I do contribute gpl'd spam filter code and report about 5 dozen or so phishing sites a week. You see I work at a major Telcom's Internet service division. I didnt say that you personally did sell my email address but people who are falling into this advertising traps did. I created 6 new email accounts last night and logged onto this site. I created my account using email address #1, and used the 5 other email addresses for "referrals" within 2 hours here is the results. (BTW for those wanting to know these emails were set up with gmail)

If you actually read the terms of agreement it says they reserve the right to send you offers from third party vendors and advertising. Not to mention the fact that not every one of those offers is "free" as they say, especially when you get to the third tier of offers such as the credit card which must be activated before you get credit. This is just a simple warning for all of you in hopes of getting something for nothing. There have been mutliple studies done on these kind of websites and I havent seen one where the person initiating the study has actually recieved the merchandise promised, even after fully completing the terms of the agreement. Maybe there is one out there and I would love to see it if it does exist..
ummm not enough M$ jobs is EU to make them fold...Eu will not and should not back down and bush needs to take a look at whats going on in the EU. In the US, we need several things badly right now..1) patent reform 2) A complete overhaul of the FCC 3) Federally subsidised tax breaks for companies who create jobs in the technical & computer fields so we can innovate beyond the world once again. I would love to see more and more public figures supporting Open source.
get your links for free ipods off this board...you leeches are the ones who sold my email address out to the marketeers and are causing me spam...get a job, save your money and buy one like most of us!
put away the Thesaurus. Your statements go back and forth between childish arguments, to aristocratic gibberish. Plain and simple for this article summed up in three phrases
1)I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it
2)Microsofts been very bad
3)its up to the governments to make sure we progress into the future not to regress intpo the past..
wow the same usual arguments i hear everytime microsoft is discussed..Even though this article is completely way to long and way to overlyworded, I give the person credit if he can understand his own writing..got a question for you author..what OS do you use..sorry didnt feel like trying to reread all that to see...
How was yahoo to know that this woman who was contacting them the person in the pictures and on the account. Sure you can easily get someones email address, fire off a letter to yahoo and have someone else's things messed with. Problem is with most things online theres no definite way to know who you are talking to. I dont want anyone emailing yahoo to have them take my photo's down because they don't like them.. Personally, IMHO they should have done as suggested before and suspend the account until all information had been recieved.
out here in california we are passing a long a no buy week..We have a signed petition with 12,000 signatures saying no to the riaa and mpaa and promises from those people not to buy anything for 1 solid week starting may 30-june 5..join in you power and help us show them we dont need em.Dotn buy into thier crap
