I was still wading through the fact that they never proved he didn't fullfill his obligations...
And as I recall, the jet aircraft that he flew was deemed obsolete, and rather then spend the money to retrain older pilots on the newer aircraft, they chose to discharge them, and some of them passed on getting their annual physicals.
There were plenty of politicians dodging and taking rice in the ass (John Kerry) to get out of that war. Which is a testament to their character. Republicans and Democrats alike. Some people chose to run on the fact they they won medals, some people ran on things they had accomplished or were going to accomplish.
I agree, and this is why I don't get my news feeds from Fox. I stopped listening to their marked up stuff before the election.
The same can be said about alot of news organizations out there. People need to decipher what's fact and what's not, and it's getting more and more difficult to do so as media companies get larger and larger. We no longer have reporters out there getting the "scoop", but "journalists" looking for the one big story that will put them on the map. It's the same corporate greed that has driven the personalized service from corporate america.
It's not about getting to be bottom of things, it's about rating and paper sales.
The best is a combination of all the media sources, the same could be said for the person that has their face glued to CNN 24/7.
I don't neccesarily watch Fox for my news feeds, but a combination of all of them. I watch Fox more for their debates, and some laughter at what we actually argue about (i.e. any of the various stupid court cases going on around the country that have absolutely nothing to do with content, but rather to see if the guy is actually going to get away with murder).
But to choose New York Times over Fox news because they are less biased is simply foolish. Especially after their feet have been to the fire for their Journalists "making up" stories.
NO. However, there seems to be some kind of marketing ploy going on here in DVD land.
When I bought a CDRW drive, it didn't give a shit if I put in 8x or 24x or 52x discs. It just burned it.
And when I put it in my CD player at work, home or car...it played, NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
And whatever 50 dollar peice of shit you put in your PC, I'm sure buying that kind of junk justifies you speaking about any form of technology?
FO
I just bought an F'n DVDR -+ Drive,
my buddy just bought one that burns dual layer, (which by the way, 3 discs are 35 bucks)
I'm sure they'll come out with one that will wash my car next year while it burns my favorite tunes, and does aromatherapy.
Where did compact disc's go so friggin confusing?
MAKE ME ONE DRIVE THAT DOES IT ALL FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!! and quit making me feel obsolete every 5 minutes.
I guess it's a question of tax ethics. What taxes are justified and what taxes are not.
For the person that burns OSS to disc and pays the tax for someone (BIG ASSUMPTION)pirating music...this is not fair and justified tax.
Unless people speak up, we are the frog in the pot syndrome.
There are plenty of tax revenues to fix the roads, we just have to look a little deeper into where our money is really going (wars, welfare, special interest groups)...there's plenty of corruption to go around. Pick your flavor.... Taxing gas is ridiculous. Just like taxing MP3 players.
Not sure of the square footage of the planet, however I'm sure it's more then 6 billion people that will need jobs. lol
Wouldn't it be nice to live in your Universe where you could get a job or establish a business at any geographical point on the planet...
According to your calculation's there should be a job for every square foot of surface area on the planet...
No matter what way you put it...GASOLINE is a neccessity...unless you are amish.
I was being facetious.:)
I was denoting how the governments (including the US) take advantage of people by taxing rediculous items.
And to tax such items is simply THEIVERY...period...I don't care how small the tax is.
I paid for my music once...SO WHAT if I want to copy it to an MP3 player as to not carry my CD's around with me when I go to the gym, or ride in my car.
Apparently it's not enough to buy the CD's. They are so afraid you will send copies to your friends that you should have to pay twice for your music??
And what kind of music has come out in the last 25 years that's worth paying twice for?
I thought that's what 99cents per song on the iTunes music store was about?
I think music, along with gasoline shouldn't be taxed. Just like food, they are necesseties.
Come on Canada, wake up and smell the rats.

If Symantec can give the same good support for an Enterprise Data Backup software as their anti virus (enterprise, not the nazi home user edition), I'm all for a merger.
My $1000 a year for support access just goes to Symantec instead....whoopdee doo.
I'm anticipating the day when I have a conversation with Execs and Management that goes like this... (IBM Commercial Format)
Execs: "HOW much to renew our MS licensing???"
Management: long pause.....
Me: "I have an Open Source (Free, in laymans terms) solution to your concerns, I have 3 clients already using Linux Desktops with all of our current applications. This Linux solution is more secure, more stable, lower administrative cost, and best of all ZERO licensing fees."

Maybe Jerk was a little strong, my apologies...
You are right, the standing joke in my house is John Kerry's "Help, Is on the way!!" from the New York Times, they aren't biased at all, Jerk.

They did that shit with Tea once here... I think they are legalizing pot in Canada to keep the people sedated.
