I said "left wing liberal elitist", not just liberal. Being liberal in and of itself is not bad. It's when you go to the extreme left that issues, such as 2nd amendment rights, arise. There is a distinction you know. Just like there are right wing kooks, which are nut jobs also. Extremes on both sides are generally bad. No where did I say "all liberals are left wing loons". The only people I lumped into a group was the "left wing liberal elitist".
Those stories are indeed troubling. They (left wing democratic liberal elitists) most certainly believe that the 2nd amendment applies to no one (save perhaps police as they also wish to do away with the military). They believe that no one has the right to own a firearm. This was made clear during an interview with John Edwards were he stated that owning a gun was a privilege and not a right. Typical template among elitist left wingers. Since most of the efforts to try and ban owning a firearm have been defended thanks to the efforts of the NRA, these ilk are now doing all that they can to secure the elimination of available ammunition. Please see Chuck Schumer for his attempt to get OSHA rules changed so that primer and powder would be controlled substances and not be allowed to be stored within a certain distance of a business. Because, we all know that anytime primer and propellant come anywhere near each other, there is a spontaneous explosion...right? Happens every time I hand load. Anyway, mod me over-rated...
I don't get your point. Are you trying to say that because some people are criminals that we should do away with the second amendment? Because that's really worked out quite well for the armed robbers in Australia since they banned law abiding citizens from owning weapons; armed robberies are up 44%. In Victoria, gun homicides are up 300%! Source: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=15304. Banning guns only disarms the law abiding citizens, the criminals don't care about one more law, never have, never will.
Now, if you are somehow saying that I would think that the Black Panthers should have not been allowed to have guns when they were trying to defend themselves against abusive cops, it all boils down to who was breaking the law. The cops were certainly out of line, but I am not convinced the use of deadly force was the correct response there. The time and place to use deadly force is narrowly defined, read "In the Gravest Extreme" for more information. Now, mark me as over-rated and flame bait.
Beta? More like EARLY alpha software! What I don't get is how in the hell they can get away with charging customers over $300 in some cases to alpha test this shit for them. Wonder if this comment will come around to bite him in his big sweaty monkey ass. Wonder if he will yell and scream and jump around then or just throw another chair.
Well, if that's what you call a threat of nuclear attack, ok then...I concede defeat at the hands of a better and more informed person. Anyway, Bush can be a total arrogant asshat, no doubt about that! Still, not exactly a good idea for a country like Iran to have nukes, just saying.
Please post reliable non-biased numbers of said deaths that were caused by removing Sadam being higher than what Sadam himself caused. This cannot include Sadam's own military in the deaths caused by the US removing him. Back at you on the numbers and results sir.
Very good points all around. Only problem comes with the liberal press clearly using their platform to push their political agenda. And, both sides do that way too much.
"threatening nuclear war with its biggest peers"
Linkypoo? Proof? Evidence? Either that or I call bullshit.
As far as "killing off brown people at a horrendous rate", they seem to be capable of that all by themselves without our help on that one. Odd how last time I looked we took out a dictator that killed an entire city because some people from that area tried to assassinate him. Not saying that we don't need to mind our own business, but you sir, need to stop listening to the hate-America stuff and do some un-biased research before you look even more like a dumb ass...oh wait.
I hear ya! Serves these dumb-ass one sided, blinded, hate filled jerks right. Perhaps, instead of, say, covering one half of the story, the one that they like, the one that fits there little perfect America-bashing, socialistic, Marxist propaganda template, then maybe, just maybe, they would have some tiny shred of credibility left instead of what they have now which is a sold out shell of a machine pumping out the same hate and vitriol as the day before and the day after. Strangely enough, not everyone in America actually hates America, odd I know. And, stranger still, some of those people just don't want to read shit every day, or hear shit everyday from the same biased sources that run the TV, print, and radio news. If only there were a way to make these people report BOTH sides of the story....I have it! Let's call it the "Fairness Doctrine"....oh wait.
Not to mention that they call YOU and tell you about the issue before you even know there is one! Can't tell you how many times IBM called and says "Your mainframe phoned home with an issue, a tech will be on site in the morning." Talk about peace of mind. Oh, and DB2, FTW!
She does these stupid little short things like a commercial length. They are mostly annoying and mostly contain adds for PC Tools or something. Completely useless and full of biased information because she is clearly sponsored by whomever the subject of the "chat" is about. Lame-o
Kim where are you? I have been hearing on the radio this bitches rant about how Radiohead and NIN's attempt at going on without the RIAA has failed misserably. She said that they both flat out failed and that trying to sell your music without the RIAA is just about impossible. I wonder what that stupid bitch has to say now that the $300 set sold out in just hours.
That was SO pissing me off last night. Just out of the blue, the wireless disconnects on me, then does it again in like 2 minutes, and gain. ugh! I turned the airport card off and back on, seemed to fix it, but really, what the hell!
Jezz, you poor thing. My last job involved my first dive into macs as a local newspaper that was actually publishing a paper on numerous Ruby iMacs, some G4 towers, a few G5s and like 3 G5 MacPro's. Out of about 50 macs, only like 5 were OS X the rest were OS 9. The local "mac experts" response to anything was "run Norton's on it" referring to using Norton Utilities. *shudder* We finally got a true mac person on board and we started getting things fixed. Now they are all OS X and the important systems are nice Intel MacPro's. Out of all the old systems, only 3 were capable of upgrading to Leopard. We kept the Ruby iMacs for a classroom, and they take around 2 minutes to boot. I feel your pain.
Just a few days ago with OS X 10.5.2. Several users were complaining of being stuck at the BDOS during boot, slow booting, etc. It seems that there are quite a few issues with 10.5.2, I myself have noticed apps starting much slower since the update. However, for the most part, it's very usable for me. Others however cannot even run some critical apps and has brought them to a complete halt. Not good at all. From what I have read and the trouble I had with using the Software Update version of the update, they needed to test more. I had to use the combo updater just to get the thing to install at all. Now, mod me over-rated.
The 777 is fly by wire. The commands are sent from the throttle levers in the cockpit, to the computer, the computer sends the commands to the engines. This is not the first example I am aware of were software caused an incident. About 2 years ago a Challenger Jet was about to rotate on takeoff at our local airport, and the computer refused to allow the aircraft to rotate. The pilots immediately aborted, but they still ran off the runway by about 20 feet. No injuries, no fire, just damage to the aircraft. This was not the first case of this model having this issue. Again, it was fly by wire that was at the heart of the issue. I think we will find that there was a coding error that caused the engines not to respond to controls with this one.
Oh, make no mistake, the UN will care. They will tax the US just like they are trying to impose a tax on the open seas. It will be right on up there with outlawing incandescent light bulbs for the sake of global warming and the children.
I was the first tech at my local CC also. And, boy do the higher ups just screw shit up. I hate, absolutely fracking HATE selling computers. You can take any add from CC and I will guarantee that nearly every computer in that add is either completely sold out, or you will have like 3 or 4 of them. So, you try to sell something, and all you keep saying to the customer is "no, we are out of that one, no, we don't have any of that one either". As always, the adds are disclamored to death with "Closeout, no rain checks." It gets REALLY old!!! I stay out of computers with all the effort I can muster. I only work part time now in seasonal sales and I stay in the cameras. At least they have the damn things to sell to the people!
The parent of my reply was referring to this I believe. Or, that's how I took it. Yes, Paramount/Dreamworks were financially compensated by the HD camp.

ahhhh, point made! Note to self....do not push out shit software on the public that is not ready and also charge for it. Got it!

It's common knowledge that Target was paid by Sony to only stock BD players in stores this Christmas and to have an endcap dedicated to BD. http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/target-to-only-sell-blu-ray-players-in-stores/
Um, actually that's on 11/2 that this sale is happening. You can read more over at highdefdigest.com and the forum there.
This opposed to the "wack of cash" that Target received to dump HD ala Sony?
