He wasn't leaving the US. He was entering the US.
As for U.S. Border Agents, just watch a few episodes of "Homeland Security USA," that jingoistic propaganda ABC ran out a few months ago. That was the cleaned-up, sanitized version, and it still portrayed a band of power-drunk idiots harassing innocent travelers and then making them feel "lucky" they were "let go."
Deepak: PIFTS means Public Internet and File Tracking System So your grand fathers computer might be vulnerable to intrusions.
Deepak: Yes you are correct. we need to check the Norton Settings on the computer and we do have a Virus removal team who can help in detecting that Intrusion manually and help in removing it completely.
Deepak: If you wish I can transfer you to them right now and they will tell you how to remove it manually and then we can help in configuring the Norton Program
Mr. T H: So it is a virus?
Deepak: No it is not a Virus It is an Intrusion. Which tries to hack that computer
Deepak: No Sir It is not related to Symantec
Trust me, the instruments are a vast improvement on the actual MIDI sounds output by Songsmith.
I export the MIDI file and load it into Logic for use with its software instruments. If you think my Songsmith videos are bad, realize that they are much better than they did in their first incarnation.
And yes, I am running XP in Parallels on a Macbook, just for Songsmith. The audio is fed by a Linux server, so there's three different OS platforms that go into my Classic Hits by Microsoft Songsmith series.
I'm azz100c on YouTube, the guy behind the Classic Hits by Microsoft Songsmith (including the aforementioned Roxanne and Sgt Pepper) and I've received comments like "this is Allah's punishment for blasting rock music at detainees."
We usually just use "victim." We have a lot of victimless crimes in the US, though, so a lot of criminal trials have no "complaintant." The gist I'm getting is that the legal system in Sweden is driven more by those who are wronged (or believe they have been wronged) than law enforcement and prosecutors.
Either someone is very confused or Sweden has a strange legal system. If they've been indicted, then they're being brought up on criminal charges. There are no "plaintiffs" in a criminal case.
Modded up for spelling the word "Retarded" incorrectly? I didn't realize there was a +1 "Ironic" feature here.
I'm not sure what you mean by "overdeviate." Do you mean overmodulate? If so, I agree with you -- nearly every pirate station I hear -- and living in Florida I hear a lot -- are horribly overmodulated, simply because it gets "more" out of a weak transmitter/short aerial.
I am on a verizon fiberoptic line, routed through level3, and my work/school's ISP is Cogent. The past three days have been a disaster for me. Students can't get a hold of me, I can't do research, and my email inbox is over quota because I haven't been able to check it until arriving on campus this morning.
This is a SIGNIFICANT problem for a lot of us. Not to mention all the students on campus who can't access any site hosted by level3 -- which is a good chunk of the internet.
My three and a half year old Dell Inspiron has a 15" 1600x1200 screen. I'm curious to know why 1024x768 even exists anymore -- yet I can't seem to find a 15" 1600x1200 screen ANYWHERE. After all this time, any other resolution looks jagged, and that's a lot of why I'm still using this fairly slow notebook.
We have e-voting because those in control know they can use it to their advantage.
There was nothing wrong with a paper ballot with a box that you place a mark in next to the candidate you choose. They replaced it with error-prone punch cards and butterfly ballots because it was EASIER.
If they wanted to guarantee the most accurate recording of votes, they'd use a paper ballot you marked with a pen, which was then counted by a human being, then recounted by a different human being. You know, like you had in high school?
They don't do it that way anymore. They could, if they wanted to. They don't. And so we have systems that are open to interpretation and manipulation.
Watch any NFL game and you'll hear pretty much every four-letter-word picked up by the field parabolic mics.
It's politics. They're going to bust the people that will bring them the most political gain. If Oprah had been fined by the FCC, there'd be a revolt. Stern's a less popular figure.
Has anyone noticed how impossible this stuff is to remove from a new Dell computer?
Hopefully Yahoo! does something about this bloated piece of ubiquitous spyware.
Dr. Wilkinson's Gastrobot Chew Chew is really quite the technological marvel. What's funny is even he admits the dangers of introducing such a machine to the world.
Of course, he also explains the machine could be used to scare off sharks (feeding on smaller fish) or pick oranges and other agricultural items...
I watched almost the entire 2000 Olympics on CBC, a network provided on our basic cable in southeast Michigan, where I lived then.
The coverage was far more exciting and complete than NBC's, and not only because the CBC showed all the events live, as they happened, and NBC showed every event on tape-delay.
CBC's announcers and approach to covering the Olympics (none of those stupidass human interest stories, more actual SPORTS) are simply superior to NBC's, and if I hadn't just moved here to Florida, I'd have my Canadian TV satellite dish up so I could be watching live Olympic coverage right now instead of sitting through Meet The Press.
That's funny, because I was playing megatouch in a bar about a year ago and the thing kept rebooting. DOS.
I kept feeding it quarters just to enjoy seeing autoexec.bat load for nostalgia's sake.

I would argue, or at least allow for the argument, that the Mars Rovers have been the second-most successful accomplishment of NASA after Apollo 11.

Don't most people who want to use Linux just build their own PC? Outside of braindead automatons, who buys a Dell PC anymore?

I don't need to "Theme" my email client. I need it to retrieve and send mail. Also, WTF?
Bagh. I still use Eudora Pro 3.0.5. What else could I possibly need from an email client?
I think Mr. Carmack has a bit of a Pygmalion complex with Commander Keen. To the heavens!

Richter is a logarithmic scale, not linear.
it's the same review because the aeon here is the same aeon as on gamegrene! Imagine that. Please mod parent down for busting on a good person's name.
D&D fans cannot be burdened with the time-wasting task of copy editing. There are twelve-sided dice to be thrown!

I was talking about friends' computers. You know, the "my computer quit working come help" kind. I *do* assemble the ones I use myself.

Dunno, I pay a Canadian friend through whose address I am subscribed to ExpressVu.
