Its on thing to discuss it.. its another to TEACH it as if it were true, in SCIENCE class.
Let them teach their psudo science in religious classes, and church. Save the science classrooms for science.
How about the children of parents who believe in the flying spaghetti monster? Shouldn't we teach that right beside creationism? Where does it end?
If they want to teach religion do it at church. DONT use public funds to try to push YOUR religion on my children. And worse yet make attendance mandatory.
When a company makes more money ina quater than has EVER been made by any company their profit margins a moot point. 11.88 billion in 3 months? While families are struggling to heat their homes? put food on the table? and get to work?
They made $38 dollars off of every single man, woman, and child in the united states over 3 months. pure profit after paying their upper management insane levels of salary. That sir is gouging markup % be damned.
You seem to forget it does not only effect the places you drill, but you need to build roads, pipelines, accomodations for the workers, basically tear into every area of alaska that is still untouched.
Just because some selfish wingnut like you needs to drive his SUV doesn't mean the human race should risk losing some of the only land on the planet that hasn't been raped by mankind.
The Porcupine Caribou herd relies on the land in ANWAR as they migrate every year drilling in ANWAR will lead to the demise of the 120,000 caribou herd not to mention all the northern communities who rely on the herd for sources of food, clothing and materials.
But hey what do you care about things like heritage, compassion, thousands of human lives, and houndreds of thousands of animal lives? as long as you can save some money filling your gas gussling vehicles, and spend your weekends cruising thats what's important right?
So where exactly in that post do thwey announce the start date to S4? Oh yea they don't.
Now read the first line of the submission.
"Blizzard has announced the next season of Arena PvP combat, set to launch on June 24th."
So today (or yesterday) they finally announced the start date for S4 to people who play wow but dont spend time on wow websites this is news.
If I get drunk and drive into a school playground with kids on it and kill a 13 yr old girl thats still murder. Even if all i planned on doing was going to the beer vendor for more beer.
This woman intentionally HARMED and fucked with the head of a 13 yr old girl she KNEW was suicidal (they were family friends she knew the girls history of being suicidal)
This woman knew that fucking with a suicidal 13 yr olds head could end in disaster just like driving drunk can. Weather she intended for the girl to kill herself or not at the very least it was manslaughter.
Theres a huge differance between you yawning, and you creating a fake myspace account to cyber bully a 13 yr old girl who already has depression and self esteme issues (the woman charged was friends of the family and knew the girls past).
She deliberetly manipulated, taunted, lied to, insulted, and harmed this poor 13 yr old girl.
That doesn't even compare to you yawning and you know it.
Protected from fraud... yes as in if someone stole your credit card number, however you are not protected from stupidity.
Like willingly buying somthing from a very sketchy website. If you personally give them the CC number and authorize a purchase its your fault (now if they than took 2,000 off instead of 550 you would be covered)
To bad you can't use it with itunes, the battery life doesn't compare, it probably freezes every couple hours....its about twice the size and three times the wieght, its butt ugly. The browser is Mobile IE (terrible browser), there are no multi touch capabilites..
Yea its just like an iphone..
As a human being I Beg you mister web developer to test your pages vs FireFox, so we dont ahve to choose between IE6 (crap) or IE7 (slow crap with tabs).
Umm.. Before you go spouting off about people who are on jobs fairy dust.. why dont you fall off that high horse and read the article? Maybe do a little bit of research before you make yourself look worse.
Enterprises will have the ability to manage, build, and install custom software without the iTunes App store. Which basicly means your whole rant.. is kinda moot.
I like how you not only make a scenario that will not happen, (microsoft can't even make a decent version of IE for their mobile platform why would they even try on an iphone?) than assume again what apple will do if that event (which wont) does happen. You than bash apple for what you assume they may do when an event that wont happen happens.
Very nicely done. maybe you should go back to kissing your xbox....
Funny, I've had a virus on my vista machine that i've owned for a year, but never had any type of security issue on my macbook pro, or the power book before it.
The biggest improvement from XP to vista I have seen is they FINALLY made adding a printer intuitive. More mac like if you will. Creating local TCPP/IP ports in windows XP for networked printers was absolutly inane.
You do realize that it was a cycle the reason less beta movies were available for rent wass because the consumers were gobbling up the originally inferrior VHS machines.
Until ir ead your post I wasn't sure there was such a thing as VHS fan boy, but from the tone of your post I'd have to say I was wrong. Chill out. Technically speaking Beta was better but the average consumer didn't care. THAT WAS HIS POINT The same thing will happen with TPM, consumers will buy whatever is cheaper in the stores, whatever is easiest at the moment, and whatever the salesperson tells them to buy. Consumers dont understand TPM, or DRM just like they never understood the differances between VHS and beta, they just baught whatever was cheap and available.
By going off on a rant you really made his point for him. If the industry goes this way the fact that.1% of computer buyers (aka geeks) will care will not effect the market, or their ability to sell pre DRM infested machines.
"I'll yawn and ignore it like everyone else."
Lets see... 850 comments on slashdot... 5 / 10 stories on digg. Countless other sites linking and talking about the war... Yea.. your right everyone is certainly ignoring it. NBC, news.com, wired.. they must have not bothered to read the memo to ignore it as well as they all seem to be covering it.
EFI,
It m has not been fully realized yet, but the EFI in all new macs supports wireless netbooting. I wouldn't be surprised if they finally enabled it in the new macbook Air...
EFI can boot over wireless (where BIOS can't) because EFI has the ability to run each piece of hardware OS independant. So EFI could control the wireless interface, connect to a netboot server, and place the image on the HD.
Really? So what about Ron Paul geting 0 votes in a precent they have confirmed he got votes? Human error... lol the only humoan error was to think no one would notice 0 votes. they should have at least made it 5.
"But to pay for the right to do something that you otherwise should have anyway is the problem here."
Your half right, the problem is that right now you can't (legally according to DMCA) Take a DVD and rip it for your iPod. If this article is true I would put it in the harm reducation pile, it is by no way ideal, maybe not even right. BUT at least its a way to do it. In other words its better than the status quo, but no where near ideal.
Similiar to ring tones in iTunes, IMO you should be able to use any part of any song, but at the same time paying 1.99 for any part of most songs, is way better than paying 3.99 for a canned 30 second part of an even smaller selections of songs, that you can't even pick the part of the song.
I have a feeling iTunes would get a VERY small portion of that 4$, but they would get the ability to say "Play your DVD's on an ipod Touch" which is worth a lot more to apple.
Laws are what are stoppping them. Why do you have to pay register a car? Why can't you just get behind the wheel of whatever you want and drive it as fast as you want whereever you want. I hear school playgrounds are a great place to do donuts. If the wirless spectrum was left to anarchy you'd have ads and interferance everywhere. Lets use FM radio band as an example.
Person a creates a popular radio station on the 91.1 FM band, a million people listen everyday and advertisers pay to get exposed to that audiance. Now in the anarchisrt system you are suggesting I could build a supped up transmiter, and transmit muy own commercials which I charge for on the 91.1 Band, even if I do nothing but push out commercials people close to me will get the commercials, people a lil farther away will get 91.1 music, 91.1 commercials(mine), and a bunch of static at the same time.
There needs to be rules setup in order to make sure people play nice. No onward to phones, you buy a phone from AT&T and expect it to work all the time, but once again greedy low life (a new form of spammer if u will) puits up his own tower to either:
1)Help AT&T's competitors by messin up AT&T network. (than mpocket some nice cash)
2)Transmit ads, or (in the digital age) perform man in the middle attacks with data.
3)Sell my own phones that also use the same range giving me cheap startup cost. Also causing endless static for anyone close to my transmitter
The idea here is sure it would be great if we lived in a society mature enough to not need the government telling us what we can and can't do, but therte are enough greedy low life weastes of space (*cough spammers *cough*) who care about nothing but making money that would selfishly use the frquencies for their own good no matter what damage it causes.
So your sayuing healthcare is expansive because people are willing to pay anything to stay alive or in other words "it is a matter of life and death, we place a very high value on life".
Its a shame that just because peeople value life, people think its ok to Overcharge, and rip people off when it comes to healthcare. The insurance companies in the states make a KILLING literally. They sneak and slide their way out of paying for things and people suffer.
Healthcare is so messed up BECAUSE people treat healthcare like a for profit enterprise, and not a for LIFE enterprise. I'm not saying doctors shouldn't be paid I'm saying the insurance companies need to grow a heart, and provide the best most affordable coverage they can, NOT make the most profit they can no matter who gets hurt or dies.

What about "PC LOAD LETTER"? Am I the only who thinks it should be on the list?

He brings more traffic to their site than all their other resources combined. Of course they won't fire him.

No i fully support putting someone in jail for being a heartless bitch
