What do you mean by his vision would be? You mean it's not already here?
I can't tell you the last time I heard a song from Molly Hatchet or Quiet Riot let alone a song from Judas Priest other than 'Breakin the law' or 'You got another thing coming'. If I hear Stairway to Heaven one more time. ..
This on our supposed 'classic rock' station. The same station who just yesterday played a song from NickelBack.
NickelBack is classic rock? I have pants older than they are!
that I don't see brought up in the discussions about Social Security is that one is, generally, paid more money than one actually puts in.
So unlike your regular bank account which has a finite amount of money plus interest to withdraw Social Security keeps paying you money you didn't earn.
Stop making payments beyond what someone has put in plus interest and that would start to help keep Social Security on track without any major adjustments.
Yeah, I know it can get old. However, I've been tracking things on Fox just to see how they spin things and it's truly amazing how biased they are.
Example: when Sergeant Charles Graner was found guilty on 9 out of 10 counts of prisoner abuse I watched as Shepherd Smith, someone I actually like on Fox, sat there and said that Graner was found guilty on all five charges. It wasn't five charges, it was ten.
I could go on but it's a known fact the bias Fox has. I was compiling info for an article and just gave up because the amount of material was so great.
Besides, the Right likes to Clinton bash, even though the guys out of office, so bashing the current officeholder is fair game.
Way to go guys. I guess it is all about how you report it.
Your IT department must be fans of Fox News. I can't count how many times Fox spins the news, no matter how bad, into something Bush has done right.
I seriously think that if news came out that Bush used to be an arsonist in his college days that Fox would spin it to somehow imply that Bush was simply doing neighborhood beautification projects.
So let me get this straight. I submit this story, which is at least twice as long as this one and with more details, yesterday at 11:50 am and it gets rejected yet this story gets posted 12 hours later.
Yes I'm grousing and no I don't care if you mod me down.
I can't remember who said the following on here but they were correct: Slashdot is Fark without the boobies.
I used to work at a brokerage firm and one of the more senior assistants told us the time when she was calling someone within the organization about issues she was having with an account. She was placed on hold and while that took place she was talking to the assistant across the aisle from her, basically saying how much of an idiot the person on the phone was and other related matters.
After a time the person came back on line and provided the information that was needed and then told her that she had heard everything that had been said and then hung up.
Needless to say the assistant was very redfaced and made it a rule never to talk when on hold.
I too have followed that advice and have been very careful to say either nothing if I'm on hold or to say nothing incriminating.
You have that backwards. China could stifle our economy by cutting back on exports. Sure, they'd suffer too but they could always offload more products to other countries to make up for most of it.
Think about what would happen if China cut imports to our country. Vastly fewer shoes, cooking items, clothes in general, most products at Wal Mart/Kmart/Boscovs/etc, toasters, coffee machines, etc.
Think of all the people who would suddently be out of a job. And I don't mean just the folks at Wal Mart. Think of the shipping companies, distributors and everyone else involved in the supply chain. Think of stores with mostly empty shelves.
Next time you go shopping for something take a look at how many products are made in China. It was nearly impossible for me to find a set of measuring spoons which weren't made in China. It was by pure luck that I found a set at a Black and Decker outlet store. Which was kind of funny seeing how many of their products were made in China.
an article some guy had made right before the whole Y2K issue was about to hit the fan. It was a lengthy article on how society and the infrastructure was not going to collapse and why he knew this to be so.
For those interested here's the link. Not a bad read overall.
10 euros is ~$13.46 (as of 11:12 AM EST [-5 GMT]). So you pay over $13 dollars for 4 hours of relaxing in a tropical environment. That cost doesn't include drinks and food which will of course have their prices jacked up by a few bits.
Yes, you can stay longer and get charged more but I'm just using the base cost.
I don't see anything fundamentally wrong or unsafe with the speed that I drive.
Yeah, nothing wrong with doing 40 in a 25 mph zone. After all, instead of having 5 seconds to react to a kid running into the street you have less than 2 seconds.
Of course doing 90 in a 65 means you've increased the time it takes you stop by an additional 3 seconds and roughly 90 more feet.
Since I don't use a Mac I don't have a reference but I believe the difference between the way Apple integrates Quicktime into OSX and the way Microsoft integrates Media Player into Windows are two different fish. With the OSX way you can remove Quicktime without affecting the operating system. With Media Player (and IE) removal will cause a meltdown of the OS.
If this is not correct, my apologies. However, from what other Mac fans have said the above seems to be the case.
As a previous poster above this comment has said, since when is a Media Player or web browser part of an OS?
Because it is Microsofts fault for integrating applications into the OS and allowing other apps to burrow into the OS and change things.
As an experiment I used IE and went to a site which I knew had popups. Sure enough I was asked if I wanted to install some piece of spyware. I said no each time I was asked and yet, miraculously, the cruft was still installed.
Yes, part of this issue is the spyware itself. Saying no should have prevented it from installing but it didn't. However, even though I was running as a User on a 2K machine (no admin rights) the spyware still installed.
Now how is it my fault if I said no to the installation but it installed itself anyway? The OS should not have allowed it since I didn't have admin rights to install things.
Hell, considering the number of users and errors, I think Firefox is actually doing pretty bad with its recent exploits, compared to IE, which has perhaps hundreds of millions of users
Compare apples to apples not apples to pomegranates. Firefox has only been around for roughly 2 years. Go back to when IE came out and look at its performance at the same time period. I'm reasonably certain you would see a similar number of issues.
Considering Firefox has only been out for 2 years the number of issues it has resolved is staggering. Further, the vast majority of issues that users are having (80-90%) revolve around the users machines and not Firefox itself. People don't maintain their machines. They randomly install/uninstall apps and don't bother to do a good clean up.
Add in the amount of spyware infected machines and the issues that come from the infection and it's no wonder people are having problems. I've installed Firefox on 3 machines and I know of someone else who has it installed and not once has there been any issue. I even upgraded from the 0.7 version on two of the machines and installed the 1.0 version on a users machine which did have spyware but once I cleaned the machine I installed Firefox and the user has zero problems.

On one hand Disney is part of the Evil Trinity (Disney, Microsoft and the Roman Catholic Church).
On the other hand Tron is still a great movie to watch. A decent storyline, very good graphics (even by todays standards), action, mystery, the works.
I'm so confused.
If it's in my name it belongs to me. If it's in your name, it belongs to you.
Fitch should ask that the ISP turn over the account to him since it is in his name. Then he can get access to any emails sent from or to that address.

the 75 outstanding Secunia security advisories for IE or the 33 security advisories for Opera? Don't they get equal billing?
For those interested here's the link. Not a bad read overall.
is to develop a sinking ship, isn't that another name for a submarine?
Poor geeks. Now when they use the LOTR line will they be talking about their laptop or the pizza?
Er, regardless if it's a bot or a human, radio signals still only travel so fast. The delay is still there.
Sorry for nitpicking but everything else sounded good.

Gah! The thought boggles the mind.

You mean like adhering to the W3C standards? You mean like not having your own proprietary code floating about?
Start with those two issues then get back to me.
