Oh yeah, why does the entire world wear American clothes, and want American lifestyle ? etc etc
Oh yeah...you forgot your argument had no water...there ya go I just helped you remember!
Doesn't matter. everything is America's fault...don't you get it? Anything that goes wrong, anywhere in the world, is America's fault. Once you realize that all Americans are evil and all bad things are a direct result of America then you will understand his logic.
Did I mention that the whole world doesn't think much of American culture or what it produces? The whole world lives on their own values and products. they don't have any relation to America, use any of its products or ideas/concepts. Nor does America have any control over anything in "their land". But America causes all things evil and bad!
Hmm...nice logic!
You see, they need a bogeyman. Without the US of A, they'd have to bash the French, which is just tooooo easy!
If they buy you out, quit immediatley, unless you want to work 80 hours a week for them. Seems like coporate scum sucking dogs have taken over then gaming industry, and EA is where they all work.
No their charging him for re-formatting the drive and restoring from backup. This task is a must after a break-in on a government computer with possible national security data on it. So yes it is "clean up".
Insightful ? Wow, do you guys know anything about security? How about him leaving behind several trojan horses for his buddies? Yes you take the drive, especially if it has sensitive information, and incinerate it. Dumbass, this is national security we're discussing, not your quicken data.
Yes it is his fault. Just like the guy who finds a way to disable home or car alarms, break in and steal stuff. Are you kidding me? You side with a criminal because the lock on some window wasn't good enough to stop a crowbar forced entry ? 6 monthes isn't enough, this caused far more damage than armed robbery and cost taxpayers more money than grand theft auto. I'd like to see what you think after someone commits a crime against you or a family member...we'll see you throw your "protect poor criminals because their cool" argument out the window. Hackers are losers who can't get chicks. Guys that protect us against hackers and clean up their mess, have chicks, thats why they need steady jobs. Moral of the story ? Get a girlfriend, loser.
I agree with you somewhat. But "Iranians are not suicidal." ? Tell that to suicide bombers , from Iran, in Iraq. It is their belief that suicide is a good thing. Don't believe me? Search Google for "Islamic terrorist attack strategies".
Yes nice legal questions. All of which were raised with phone wire-tapping, asked and answered years ago in court. Replace computer with phone and hard drive disk space with phone bandwidth & listening quality. Also replace uninstall with use hammer on bug. Next?
Yes remakes are bad! No more Shakespeare either! Are you joking? No more remakes? There are 7 basic plots, you can only write around them so much. My god you people are pathetic. You think Dr Who is original? Its the Good vs Evil plot...duh! Through your time travel or space travel or ancient history spin around it, no matter what its Good vs Evil. Every damn movie is a remake...you people are tards.
Also, doesn't Willy Wonka like "little people" a little too much ? I mean the little Oompa's everywhere, dressing up. Then he lures kids into his "big playground" , alla Michael Jackson, for some overnight "fun". "Want some candy little boy?" I mean c'mon, this guy is sick!
WOW. I do believe that Europeans have better chocolate. No doubt! Milk is subjective, I prefer that cremier style you speak of, not everyone does. But to compare overall food quality and taste as being better in Europe ! My god what a farce! Also, Americans can't decide what an acceptable risk is , compared to Europeans? WOW that's a good one! Did you ever hear of Socialism ? Yeah....his post get +5 Insightful ?
Move back to asia? Go ahead I'll see you in Cambodia! How about rural China? I think you mean Japan, other than Nipon and maybe S Korea, not much else going in "Asia".
For starters, where are you? Who provides your cable modem service? How do you test your connection speed? If others using Vonage (my brother near Philly, myself in Northeast Pa and another poster from Lancaster PA) seem to have no problems at all, then I would conclude its your service provider or something else to your region, not vonage itself. I know when I setup Vonage, the Lynksys router needed 3 firmware updates before it worked well. You can force them with a Vonage tech on the phone.
No your not. I'm in the US and I have caller Id on my TV (DirecTV receivers provide this). I also get emailed from Vonage with audio file or web access to audio voicemail messages. I use VOIP for phone service (again Vonage) and next year will be using Tivo and NetFlix partnerships to have any movie I want downloaded to my Tivo for a monthly fee. Not bad for the backwater US of A , eh?
We don't watch TV over IP (much) now tho since I have a sattelite dish with 1000 channels and better quality sound/picture:)
You probably have an issue with your local setup. My Vonage works fine, sounds alot better than cell phones or even my old land line. The only issue I had with them was the voicemail access via their website was slow, which is fixed as of today or yesterday.
Check your internet connection speed from several sources and average it out. Your probably on a cable modem and your local area is saturated with new users downloading songs from Kazaa all day.

They could be throttling you back, or more people have signed up over the past few years. Both scenarios are probably happening. This is the major flaw with cable modem technology. Try using a cable modem in New Work or San Fransisco. Not fast at all, every shares the same local pipe, before yuou get to the internet itself. DSL is a better concept, allows for much more flexibility and scalability, at the local level. Also, cable companies suck. Also my cable service tended to go "down" a lot. My DSL service on the other hand has never went "down".

Or they could sell you a phone with a camera integrated into the base, or the phone itself. Or a camera to mount on top of your TV. Or many other possibilities.
In short, no. In this scenario you use your phone not your PC. Think of the difference between Skype and Vonage. One uses a PC (Skype), the other your normal home phone (Vonage). In other words, one will take off, the other flounder as an oddity.

I use Vonage for my phone service. Works fine, no problems whatsoever. Also a nice little feature, if my DSL line is out for whatever reason, calls will be forwarded to a number of my choice (like my cell). I recommend it.
Question, why would I want someone to see me while communicating (besides "cool factor") ? Is body language that important for most conversations? For that price?
You wrote:
"For example, if it is GLOBAL warming, why only study Europe?"
Because there are lots of records in europe. Perhaps you'd care to ask the Apache or Sioux for their weather records for 1504? And I doubt you'd get much better data from africa, australia, or asia (except maybe china & japan)."
Actually in 1504 Europeans did not have thermostats and barometers. Europeans were burning each other in religious fanatical movements. Climate data is taken from soil and ice samples, as well as rocks and trees.
You can do this with TiVo. Set you primary program to record normally and add 1 minute(say 7-8:01pm) then do a "record by time" from 8:02pm to 9:02pm on the other channel. I do it all the time, it's in their manual.
