I have an LG VX3200 or some such. I love it. It is a phone. It has a contact list and a calculator and that's about it. But, alas, I think it's discontinued. Here's one link.
people who strongly believe that correlation == causation
Hey, I believe that correlation == causation. Take for example that hurricanes are causing global warming, violent people are causing video games, and the like./joke
That's a little along the lines of my thoughts. If Mozilla has had so many updates wouldn't it be more reasonable to say that Firefox "was" less secure but now is more secure. But then the whole thing is assuming that MS is not sitting on vulnerabilities just so that IE looks like it has fewer holes. Especially now that IE has some competition that is eating at its market share, it might be that MS is hiding things for the short term just to kill its only legit competition in a while.
Ah, the classic defensive defensive reply. Claim that I was making some defense and that it was classic and easy to refute, then spout off, then make even more claims about me.
It was a joke to begin with. I am fully aware of many of Bush's policies. But the original point was that Global Warming did not begin during this administration.
Secondly, I personally don't see how "his policies" are any different than 99% of all politicians (democrats, republicans, libertarians, independents, moderates, whigs, etc.) as they are all favoring wherever the money is to be made.
Thirdly, no, it was not the best I could come up with. Why would I even be coming up with anything? Anything for what? I'm not defending or supporting anything. And I was making a reply to a flamebaiting troll. Why would I give him/you my best stuff?
Fourthly, I don't drive an SUV and find them to be ridiculous. I drive a 14 year old Honda that gets better in-city driving than a lot of comparable cars get on the highway, roughly 32 mpg. The age of my car also has some telling to do. It takes energy to make cars, it takes energy to mine the ores, it takes energy etc. So I am using even less pollutants than people who buy a new car every three years or so. Also, it is a stick shift. There's some more information for how little I pollute for you. On occasion, I also ride a bike, take the bus, subway, train, etc. My next car, will probably be a hybrid. But it will be when the current one completely dies.
Fifthly, calling someone a murderer who has not murdered simply because you may or may not disagree with a war, is just silly and so eighth grade. Or would you rather still see Saddam in power and killing the same number of people, only no one would know about it? Notice I never said anything here about WMDs, 9/11, or terrorists.
Lastly, I usually don't get a good nights sleep. I'm in college and have late nights and early mornings all the tims.
Well, it couldn't be because we don't have a clue about how to date things could it? Our entire dating technology is completely and utterly circular.
Seeing as this is slashdot...No, most here don't have a clue about dating. And the fact that you have to have dating technology, wow, I mean just wow. If you think dating a woman can boil down to some technology, then yes, you got it wrong. And what is this cycle thing of which you speak. Every year you go back to date the same woman? Wow. Just Wow.
Some parts of the country don't participate in Fall and\or winter?
I grew up in Phoenix and at the time thought we had a fall and winter just like everyone else. Then I moved to some places that snow a lot in the winter and still require substantial use of an AC unit in the summer. Whenever I go back to Phoenix I realize they have summer and an extended spring from the end of October to the beginning of March.
Ever since that team of guys loaded NetBSD into a
toaster
I've been wondering if emacs can now make toast in addition to all the other things it does. And when it will be able to do my dishes and laundry for that matter.
That's what I'm thinking. I'm hearing all over the place,including here, that this is MS's "most significant new product cycle since Windows 95. Seriously what is being changed so drastically? We can all see big changes from Win 3.1 to Win 95, but Win XP to Win Vista only adds some transparency AFAIK. What's the big deal?
I'm qualified. Check out my sig! And to stay on topic, notice that my sig is related to the first point in the article...in a round-a-bout kind of way.
I was actually thinking wouldn't it be cool if all the major OS's had a basic set of libraries that were all the same. Things like create window, make a net connection, I/O, that kind of thing. They could each still have their own API's that did their own fandangled cool-look-what-our-OS-can-do type stuff, but the basic API's would allow an App, to be quickly ported from one OS to the next. At least the basic stuff. If an App had more OS-specific calls, it might take longer to port that part, but at least getting the app to show up would be a huge relief.
You are probably totally correct. A private company probably wouldn't let someone on the bus unless they had a ticket. But then, that doesn't mean in a situation like this that the government couldn't pay for the ticket. Instead the gov't sat back and did nothing. Even their own school buses wer parked doing nothing. They didn't pay themselves to help people evacuate and they didn't pay the private companies to evacuate.
Remember that the evacuation was going to cost money no matter who did the driving of the bus. But the gov't didn't pay anyone to do it, even though it was the citizen's who already paid for that kind of service with their tax dollars. An analogy is that the people bought insurance (taxes) for such a thing and then the insurance company (gov't) didn't fulfill their end of the bargain.
From what I've seen the problem is more of a local one (i.e., NO and Nagin) then it was a federal one(i.e., US and Bush). Not to say the federal side of things ran perfect, but the local plans were piss poor to begin with and that is where the beginnings of a plan should be good.
While I agree with you, I just had a funny picture of Isaac Newton having to creatively make up what a cowboy is while playing cowboys and indians, especially since indians would have most likely been thought of as the India variety since Native Americans were still fairly recent for Europeans at the time.

It is both a magazine and a breakfast cereal.
Wow! I think that post alone caused at least 10 spelling Nazi's to leap to their death from some tall building.

Maybe they should become alligator wrestler's and get their ears bit off.
My apologies to those who know who I'm quoting. And to who I'm quoting.

Thank you for your insight. I was unaware that this global warming started on January 20, 2000. My, look at what can happen in only 5 1/2 years.
Haven't you used that joke like 4 times already, as well as the one about the martians?
Yeah well I know an old lady who swallowed a spider, that wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her. So there.

Then what?! I'm dying to find out. Will they ever come down or have we lost them forever? Maybe they will find Major Tom. Oh the suspense!!!
They'll probably have to kill a lot more if they're going to use this guy's engine.

Yes, just before the BSOD, windows locks up your power supply so that you can't use the restart button.
While I don't doubt that what you say is true, why in the world would your wife unplug your MythTV box so consistently, powering it down or not?
I'm qualified. Check out my sig! And to stay on topic, notice that my sig is related to the first point in the article...in a round-a-bout kind of way.
But wouldn't that make what you type float around as big bold letters in the big cone of silence?

Q:What exactly is wrong with this question?
A:It assumes that listening to your conscience is a bad thing.

We could always call in Dr. Harry Dalton to find out.
