Have you listened to anything Obama is talks about? He is strongly against "Special Interest Groups" and Lobbiests. Hit is website up he will not knowingly take money from these categories.
Your right one man cannot make this all happen. Obama has said as much. His ideal is to get the wheels turning in the right direction. To set america on a course to be great again. I am supprised every day at the sheer blindness of the general american public in not noticing the constant erosion of the social and economic status of the US. We need to reverse course and get the country back on track. I believe Obama has the view to do this I just hope his willpower is strong enough to fight the hard fights. At least the conniving, backstabbing, lying, cheating, two-faced Hillary is forcing him to have a crash course in dealing with the nastiness that is politics.
Guys, We know that with the right tools, knowledge and ability pretty much anything can be cracked. These devices may not be able to keep security professionals or their seedier equivalent from accessing the information but it will keep the everyday Joe office worker from accessing your information. The idea is sound and it is secure against probably 99% of the worlds population. The technical elite would be able to eventually crack it regardless of which security measures were applied.
I for one think this would be a good device to keep people like your wife/husband/girlfriend/roomate from accessing information you may not want them to see.
Comcast & other big media could not fully corrupt the FCC into doing what they want but with greater power comes greater corruption and congress turned out to be easier.
You do realized that the reason China's economy is booming is because we buy so much of their crap. We have a HUGE trade deficit with China which if resolved/balanced out would stablize our economy much more than the inflation causing double infusion the gov is doing to our econmy over the next few months.
The review indicates it was a hard book to get through because of the dialog used. I found that all of Tolkien's books were very difficult to read. I used to pick up the Hobbit if I was having difficulty sleeping and would be out cold after 10-15 pages. I find his over descriptive style very boring to read yet, I recognize that his accomplishments have enabled many of my favorite writers in creating some of my favorite stories/books. If it were not for Tolkien, the Fantasy/Adventure genre may have never taken.
What's your home address? You seem to be easy safe prey and lately I have been wanting to dabble in the criminal.
I am really getting tired of pacifists who do not seem to grasp the concept that NOT EVERYONE is a pacifist or has the want/need to ever become one. Power drives many people and violence exherts power. I am a proud owner of a firearm and I like the idea of being able to protect myself from the non-pacifit, largely violent group of people that really do exist. You really need to wake up from your little ideal make-believe world where everything is safe and all counter-tops have rounded edges and no one ever gets hurt or dies.
Well this is a pretty obvious reaction. You make noise/flash lights and people doing something they don't want noticed disperse. When your doing something wrong you don't want to be caught, having even this harmless robot move up on you and draw attention appears to be enough.
The problem is most rational people will not pay 100's of dollars a plate. But there are restaurants that will serve just about any meal at exhorborant prices. 50-150 a plate for the dinner another 200-500 dollars a bottle for wine or maybe two. Then you add in desert... and wallah you have spent over a thousand dollars.
Of course if you go to the local chain steakhouse or a hole-in-the-wall type place you may get just as enjoyable of a meal but it does not have the large prestiege of paying a thousand +
Wow, thats some nonsense. People think somone is black DUE to their skin color. You have no viable means to tell they are half white or half mexican or half something else. If they have black skin they are black to the vast majority of eyes. Color is just an easy descriptive means to help describe a significant amount of detail about somone. Any of the following terms will allow you to bring up a general, generic body blueprint to build a mental picture off of.
Gender (Male/Female) White = Race definition Black = Race definition Asian = Race definition Mexican = Race definition
You can then add in other descriptive things like Hair/eyes/height/weight to finish building this "image".
These are not agressive racist terms they are easy ways to describe something. How is it my fault if you are overly sensitive to things that are fact and don't really matter to most people.
100% agree with you on every aspect. These are the exact same things I complain about on a daily basis and I live in an area with no real "Traffic Jams". A Driver's lack of attentiveness and their inability to correclty merge causes massive backups on any highway/freeway.
The #1 response I get back is "Well not all cars have enough power". As you have already stated you MUST be up to speed or greater prior to merging and pick a spot prior to merging in which you either increase speed a minor amount or slow down alot to fit into the gap. In my youth I had one of those amazing cars where you have to hit a hill at 100 to have a chance to make it to the top and I never had an issue flowing into traffic w/o disruption. People playing with other things while driving thier 1000+ lbs killing machine should have their privilege to drive revoked.
If you walked around in public with those things on you definitley would not have to worry about remembering ppl's names/faces as people would probably walk on the other side of the road to avoid you. Don't worry about remembering that girl's name/number because they were both fake also.
Personally.. I think paying attention to what your doing and maybe not being constantly on a cell phone/Ipod would be more effective and less time consuming in remembering WTF you are/were doing.
But our current system is great. They pull in 50 people.. kick out all of the ones with IQ's below 50 and above 55 and tend to try to keep only the ones that are pretty obviously sharing their viewpoints or are in a demographic that most likely will.
Jury should be 100% random... there should be x number assigned to a case and the lawyers should have 0 say in who they are. That would be a "Random" system that is significantly more fair than this hand picked bullshit that goes on now.
I've been playing FPS games for quite awhile. In any competitive activity losing is not the objective. In Playing FPS games I find that random lucky shots from obscure distances or angles early in the match is pretty frustrating and can really take from the enjoyment of the game. In situations where a hard fought battle took place even if you are shot and die it is exciting and fun. In the rare situations where you have a close battle and both players are pulling out every trick in the book being the winner or loser does not really matter to me personally.
How is this a fault of a manufacturer? Especially one that is not the creator of the Blue-Ray disk. Samsung made a hardware platform with a current drive and the technology improved and the old system cannot be upgraded. Why not sue every HDD manufacturer then? My old IDE drive won't work with my new motherboard. I cannot get firmware updates and the connectors are all wrong!
These frivolous lawsuits need to stop. They really need to start tossing these people out on there asses or pressing some criminal negligence charges against them.
Wow what a load of crap. Norton AV does not silently die when it expires it becomes more noisy than Windows Vista. People are fully aware that the subscription is up and it gives you instructions on how to renew it. My Dell laptop has a HUGE popup every time I log in even when I just shut the lid and keep the thing powered on.
You do realize that one of the major reasons you can pick up your cheapo dell/hp etc computer is the "Trialware" software on those boxes. They receive money to carry the software and in some cases receive more money to not carry someone else's software.
It does not need to be an AI directly. You could make a reactive type repair system for things like boats/planes. Hole opens up in the hull and this makes an automated patch over it for the short term.
There definitley could be many other uses for this technology down to the least useful: Artistic value.
There are several MMO interface add-ons that already implement this type of feature. Drag an item over one of your bags it opens up and you can drop the item in.
Sad thing is... they will probably get the patent and some jackass will have pockets stuffed with green paper.
A three year old can also see the finished product of the next great Elmo game. What you have indicated does not even apply to the conversation. The finished, intended results of most applications is very simple and easy for a novice computer user to understand. Just like everyone understands that a bridge provides solid "footing" over a waterway or cliff side.
A comparison that is adequate to your statement would be to indicate "Hello World" is an application and sticking a popsickle stick over a rain run off is the same thing.
My first gaming experience was the 3 lane car racing game on my watch. The screen would scroll 1 pace toward you every time you moved left are right. You would have to avoid cars coming at you.
I completely disagree with this line of thinking. This is exactly the thought train that has caused many social issues to become pretty uncontrollable.
The Parents need to take responsibility and be part of their children's education, growth and development. People expect the TV to babysit and the school to raise THEIR children. Take responsibility for your own children. Talk with them, educate them, and delve out punishment when they overstep their bounds.
I am so sick and tired of half ass parents raising monsters because they won't take the time or effort to raise their own damn kids.
When has anything ever been about cures? Ethanol is a good way to extend our comfortable behavior with little downside. As technology advances other more efficient power sources will be developed.
Kids are fat because they don't get anywhere near the level of physical activity needed to keep the weight off. They go to school and sit. They come home and sit. I have recently started to maintain the exact same lifestyle as today's children and I also am starting to put the pounds on.
Parents are WAY to overprotective of their children. This is largely caused by the news media and goverment propaganda causing everyone to be afraid of everything. There have ALWAYS been child molestors. Most of them are blood related. The amount of kidnappings in the US of pre-teen children that are not done by a parent is pretty small number. Most missing children run away from home and get into a very unfriendly environment and are not directly abducted. Out of 4 children my mother had two of us ran away between the ages of 12-14 (Puberty go figure).
I cannot remember the last time I even heard/read of a kidnapping in the news.
I disagree with your assessment. It is pretty safe to say that not every person is created equal. Some have natural biological advantages in their physical and/or mental capacities. Practice or Training will allow a person to reach their maximum potential but it will not allow a non-talented person to achieve greatness. Your theory in effect would dictate that there be no professional level sports players or everyone in school taking the same classes would always end up with the same scores. Obviously, this is not the case. Even though a huge amount of people put in the same effort only the ones talented at that specific aspect reach the top percentile. Everyone has talent in some way, it just is not always useful. Practice does make perfect, but only as perfect as your talent allows for.

Who the hell goes to therapy? And "most" christians unless your a mormon don't actually give 10%.. nice to claim on taxes though.
