    Yea, you're still not getting it.

    Aside from the fact that you don't know why I said what I said, I only said that a retributive justice would exist, not that it's what I would like.

    ...to enable any interested citizen to add to the creation of new policy as with a wiki document.

    Unfortunately it looks like I could just implement a polka dot day policy and it would sit there until someone took it down. No hacking necessary. :)

  9. Grades on Uncle Sam Earns C-minus Grade for PC Security · · Score: 1

    The Department of Veterans Affairs did not provide enough data to earn a grade.

    I've had grades like that, you know where you just didn't show up or didn't do the homework, I kinda wonder what happened here.

    So, can you smile in the camera and say I agree with Senator Kay Bailey of Hutchison Texas when he said:

    "If I had known then what I know now about the weapons of mass destruction, which was a key reason that I voted to go in there, I would not vote to go into Iraq the way we did," Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison R-Texas said.

    Or would I get a job stepping on ...er I mean looking for land mines?

    I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. But as President, I must put the interest of America first. America needs a full-time President and a full-time Congress, particularly at this time with problems we face at home and abroad. - Richard Nixon

    You mean Bush is too much of a weasel. Actually the link goes to my website. :)

  13. Re:Quit lying to yourself on National Intelligence Director Seeks Expansion of Spy Powers · · Score: 1

    Ok, if I blind folded you and told you to walk off a cliff then it's your fault, right?

    The WMDs were just an excuse to claim that their was an eminent threat that needed to be eliminated.

    You mean the threat of an oil shortage right? Cause I can't wait till Bush goes public with that.

    Or maybe you're saying it's ok to lie in order to justify war, but every other time it's unacceptable.

    If you supported the war, you need to stop lying to yourself, and admit that you supported it. If you feel that was a mistake, you should take responsibility for your mistake, and resolve not to let it happen again. Saying "I was lied to" is no excuse, and passing the blame like that will not teach you to be smarter in the future.

    Please don't presume to know me, cause you're wrong on every account.

  14. Re:As someone who voted republican... on National Intelligence Director Seeks Expansion of Spy Powers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Republicans would rather betray their own ideals then vote against a republican for president.

    I find this to be the most sickening reality in our democracy. It's not fiscal policy vs improved healthcare, it's red states vs blue states. I find this state of affairs thoroughly disgusting.

    Maybe his kids should go to Iraq first? I'm not an animal but there is a certain retributive justice in it, except you know Bush doesn't have thousands of kids. Personally I think he should be hung on the white house lawn. Then immortalized in statue form for future presidents to think about.

    ...breaking into homes to make copies of computer hard drives.' One of their specific goals is prosecution immunity for communications companies...

    This actually looks really scary to me. Seems they can have your ISP hack your computer (using it for illegal crap) and press charges against you, while the law would prevent them from pressing charges against the ISP.

  20. Re:What happens if you catch the guy breaking in? on National Intelligence Director Seeks Expansion of Spy Powers · · Score: 1

    I think the self defense aspect does hold some credence assuming you live through the raid AND can still convince everyone (judge/jury) that you were honestly defending yourself. Probably just best to break his nose then apologize profusely.

  21. Re:Linux is better for games than vista on Transgaming Introduces Cedega 6.0 · · Score: 1

    You responded by listing many pieces of vendor lock in. When you list a gamut of M$ technologies that run from game development all the way to better compatibility with game consoles you are not making a case against vendor lock in. In fact in some twisted way it seems that you're arguing the benefits of vendor lock in.

  22. Re:Will anyone gain anything from this? Not Linux on The End is Nigh for XP · · Score: 1

    This is what finally convinced me to remove Windows XP from my computer, after dual booting for about 3 mo. just getting started with Windows became a long and arduous task of downloading updates and rebooting. After about six months I would boot into Windows step away from the desk and Linux was sitting there when I came back. This would happen again and again eventually it was glaringly evident that dual booting Windows was just a big PITA. Food for thought for those dual booting between XP and Vista.
