With all due respect, Spice sucks. On those occasions I was at a location where Spice was available and I turned to see what was actually on, the 'movies' sucked.
Better to just go rent a movie from your local adult store then try to get excited watching Spice.
'At present, P2P software has too many times been hijacked by those who use it for illegal purposes to which the vast majority of our consumers do not wish to be exposed.'
Replace the words 'P2P software' with any of the following (feel free to add your own) to see how ridiculous that statement is:
cars
baseball bats
steak knives
telephones
computers
screwdrivers
intenet providers
Let's be honest, there are a ton of illegal goings on on the various P2P clients/networks. That doesn't mean that P2P doesn't have its legitimate uses.
It's the people they should be going after, not the service.
If I could give you points I would. You have just answered a question that I have had for a long time about my inability to do more than simple programming. I couldn't fathom if the reason I can't program is because I've convinced myself that I can't or that I can't grasp the syntax of whatever language. You've just answered my question.
Logically I can tell you want needs to be done (i.e. what steps need to be accomplished to perfomr a task). I can even read just about any code from any language you throw at me. It's the actual putting down the code that I have trouble doing.
Judging by the use of improper English on this site I'd suggest that teaching kids proper usage of the language might be a better focus of efforts in schools.
As far as typing is concerned, again using/. as reference, yes, typing should be taught.
Whine, bitch, whine, bitch. That pretty much sums up the posts on here. Surprised I am? No, not on here.
If you look at the black boxes already installed in cars (and had RTFA) you would see that the only thing that is being recorded are the conditions of the car prior to an incident. Speed, brakes, etc are what is being monitored.
Further, the boxes out there only record the information for ~5 seconds prior to an incident. They don't record everything in perpetuity.
The people who are whining now are probably the same ones who whined when cops began putting cameras in their patrol cars. "They can erase the tapes so there is no evidence!" "Why should they need to record me?" Blah, blah, blah.
Guess what, the black boxes, like the cameras, are a neutral third-party. Whatever happens, happens. You can claim you hit the brakes to avoid rearending the guy but the black box will have recorded whether you did or not.
You're on a public thoroughfare in plain view of everyone else. Your right to privacy in this situation is zilch. This has nothing to do with "If I'm doing nothing wrong why should I have to have this?"
Before anyone tries to claim that I'm one of those who doesn't see the slippery slope about privacy, you're wrong. I routinely go out of my way to keep my privacy whenever possible (false phone numbers to clerks, false zip codes, etc). This, however, is not about privacy. This is about helping authorities determine why something happened.

how is it that the half of America which owns guns is never the one calling for violence?
You've never heard of militias, have you? Listen to some of the right-wing crud that they spew and you'll see how wrong your comment is.
I didn't say you could remove the radio. If something is integrated you can't remove it. Think of an integrated sound card on a motherboard. You can't remove it, can you?
Yes, you can install a second sound card (assuming an open slot) but the original sound card is still there.
The same would apply in this case. Having the software integrated into the OS opens a whole host of other problems. Again, look at IE and its integration at why this is not a good thing.
The above may sound like an advertisement but what Google has posted is standard boilerplate language. When dealing with securities and 'advertising' them you are simply putting the word out that company X has such-and-such securities which you as the public may want to purchase.
Yeah, I know, talk about semantics. Having worked in the financial industry for a time I can tell you there are other oddities that neither you nor I would think of. For instance, did you know that giving a stock quote is considered selling and that if you are not licensed you cannot, legally, give a quote to someone?
The citizens of this future America, weaned on the Feed, are shockingly illiterate. Their language is largely incoherent, riddled with "like"s and "thing"s.
As I was reading the review the first thing that came to mind was, "This is about the future? This is how things are now!"
If they make it anywhere near Google or Yahoo's quality they will end up crushing them.
Then there is nothing to worry about.
Microsoft can't even do a decent job of searching their own Knowledge Base. What makes them think they'll be able to do even a half-ass job of searching the entire web?
From what I have observed when the holidays come around and afterwards the State Police announce how many people they ticketed for speeding during the holiday period, they are making up the numbers. Considering the holiday times I've been out and about and have never seen one cop, state or local, the numbers have to be made up.
I always want to try firefox after reading posts about its power, but man.. IE is just so..so.. easy.
And slow and breaks compatibility at will and bloated.
I switched to Firebird both at home and work at nearly the same time and was astounded by the speed of rendering web pages. Even on my dial-up at home. Then I discovered tab browsing and no pop-ups! Gah! What more could I ask for?
We still do and I work for one of the larger departments in our Commonwealth (PA). We have to because we are using SAP (arrrrrrrrrggghhhhhhh!!!!!!)
That doesn't stop me from using Firebird though. My supervisors supervisor and I have talked about it and even though it is not a 'standard' apllication he has no problems with it.
Then again, I work in the IT department and the whole attitude here is pretty easy going. There has been talk of trying to use Linux in some of our servers as well as using other open source apps (Firebird/Mozilla for instance) but nothing has come down yet.
Q: So, basically, we as white western men should never discriminate against our leaders even if their tactics and strategy are totally flawed, because we are inherently good and will always prevail?
A: Exactly.
Honestly, were journalists like this during WWII? I don't think FDR would have tolerated what CBS did.
Actually the journalists in WWII, for the most part, had greater access than do journalists today. However, because there was no instant communication like we have today they had to pick out the good stories and run with them. A form of self-censorship if you will.
Further, when Patton slapped the soldier it was reported to the public. It wasn't covered up.
Granted, a commanding officer slapping a soldier is different than abusing or killing prisoners but the concept is the same: the incident was reported.
Next time such a situation is discovered they're going to cover it up, if they have any brains at least.
Yes, that's what we need, more cover up. Let's not admit that we're doing the same thing we're accusing others of doing. Let's hide it. Then when it gets revealed we can stumble about some more trying to explain why we were covering it up instead of being upfront about the actions of some.
Funny how we harp about our society being free and open and our processes transparent yet people seem to think it's ok to cover up abuses such as Abu Ghraib.
And finally, there's nothing wrong with chopping down forests anyway! Forests are a renewable resource. They'll grow back. This is a natural part of the cycle. There's no problem here.

Those are just two to get you started but feel free to do your own research.
What do you mean start to ignore terror alerts? I haven't listened to one since the beginning!

You mean like IE is integratd into the OS? Wouldn't want a third-party browser to be used on a Micorsoft OS now would we?
What is it with people that want everything integrated into the OS? Do you want your radio integrated into your car so that you can't remove it?

I was going to make a comment about the 'vortex sucking sound' but thought better of it. The folks around here don't need any more wild ideas.
Um, if you wake up in a coffin because people couldn't find your pulse and you didn't know you were put in a coffin, you have other problems.

That's all fine and well except for this recent story.
It's Pennsylvania. We have no police.
No, the evil, or sinister one, is always the twin on the left. At least according to The Simpsons.
