The parent poster was replying to the GP poster that was implying that the argument of Americans deserving jobs in America more than foreigners was a racist comment. Notice his sarcastic use of the word nigger. Read slower, comment even more so.
Some people happen to take pride in where they come from. I don't run around shoving it in everyone's face that I'm from the United States when I travel internationally but I sure as hell am not going to try to hide the fact. And for that matter, I wish some racist xenophobic sissy piece of shit would try to start some shit with me just because I'm an American. Please do.
Also, one other thing that would probably be great in your situation, unlike the 6600, if your battery dies, you don't lose everything. All your programs and contacts etc. is in non-volatile memory, I think flash or something.
Sorry if you already know this but on my 6700, you have to mash the camera button for a few seconds then let it go to get the camera to work. Or, like you said, just navigate the menus.
Hmmm... I don't remember ever thinking that encyclopedias were any sort of gospel.
Yeah, I figured we agreed on that which is actually why I replied to your comment. I was just trying to expand on what you were saying and inject some of my opinion into the discussion. I'm not trying to go on and on about this it's just that it irritates me to no end when some people get on and start bitching about how Wikipidia isn't accurate and all that after they point out some article that has some bias or is factually challenged or whatever. What they fail to realize is that, Wikipedia isn't going to be one hundred percent right on all things and it's absurd to say that Wikipedia is a failure or is useless because of this. It is just a tool not the ultimate source for serious inquiry. Just like all the printed encyclopedias. Common sense would seem to indicate these things so that they shouldn't have to be pointed out but obviously that's another tool that isn't evenly distributed amongst most people.
And for the gospel comment, people are taught in grade school that encyclopedias are practically akin to some kind of "word of God" and people actually take this attitude into adulthood so when an encyclopedia is exposed for its errors, they (I guess) feel some sort of innate betrayal or whatever and go on some kind of crusade against them (encyclopedias). The absurdity of it boggles the mind.
I think we are on the same wavelength here but just to insert my 2 cents, Wikipedia much like Brittanica, World Book, Funk and Wagnall, etc. should be taken as simply a starting point to get one headed in the right direction for further research. We are taught as children (in school doing reports and such) to take encyclopedias as some sort of gospel and that attitude is just plain wrong. At the very least, the sources at the bottom of the entry should always be checked out to verify the verisimilitude of the article.
Just tell them what I tell them, "I'm visiting Vancouver but I wanted to come down and see what Seattle is all about." They scan your passport and wave you right through.
I admit, I did a quick research of your post hoping to find some flaw in your logic but, you are indeed absolutely correct. Thanks so much for the education.
People aren't necessarily buying V8 due to more power, V8 engines tend to be better balanced thus running smoother. Very important in a vehicle such as the Lincoln Zephyr.
Has anyone seen any research that specifies if one has to drink all of their daily alcohol in one sitting to get the positive effect or can I just sip a little throughout the day. I don't want to drink it all at once as I don't want the side effect of becoming inebriated but I would not have a problem drinking a little at a time if I can still get the benefits.
Just like a car (which also has about a 20 year lifespan),
If you are implying that solar panels only have a twenty year lifespan, you obviously haven't the slightest clue what you are talking about and consequently should STFU.
Well, for the sake of argument, if you say that the solar panel is still worth what you originally paid for it 5 years ago, actually, you did double your money because you could just sell the solar panel for what you paid for it. However, if you take the money you have not paying electric bills and buy another identical solar panel, in another 5 years, you will have saved twice as much so adding that to the value of both solar panels, you now have 4 times your original investment.
So, if at the end of 10 years, you have the money in your pocket that you saved on electricity and you go and sell your solar panels for what you originally paid for them (I know that's probably unrealistic, just bear with me here), you will end up with roughly the same amount of money had you invested it in stocks and just let the interest compound. I don't really see the difference from that and the good stock investment that is averaging 15 percent per year. Just a little extra work.
PE ratio is nothing. What's the ratio of their share price and forward earnings divided by the expected growth rate compared to other leading companies in their sector compared to the market as a whole? Is the company secular or cyclical? If cyclical, is the economy trending in their favor (think interest rates)? So on and so far, yah de da. I'm just yanking your chain:)
Lucky brand jeans are made in America and in my humble opinion are much higher quality than for example, Levi's which incidentally are Hecho en Mexico.
The northern european economic miracle is just that. A miracle. It won't last forever. Matter of fact, signs of the impending correction are already becoming evident.
No, actually I live in paradise. Also known as West Palm Beach, FL. Where the infrastructure (except for I-95) is as smoothe as the day it was laid down. Buffalo (although, if you've been there you have to admit has better roads than Canada ever dreamt of) was just a convenient place to get my car fixed after the front end almost gave up the ghost upon being subjected to about 9,192,631,770 potholes going through St. Catherines, Mississauga, and Toronto. Not to mention the rail tracks in Toronto that seem to be at least 4 inches above the road surface on all the major thoroughfares.
Thank you, we all know about Ctrl-Click. Some people don't like having to press 2 buttons at the same time when there is a simple alternative. If you do fine, but calling people Trolls is uncalled for.
That's what I did at first. Didn't work too well for me for some reason. Maybe I just had a bum mouse but the setup I have now works better. I never lose the signal and I can live with the dongle.
Well, my solution may be a bit much for some people but, I bought one of those miniature cordless travel mice with the little usb stick that you plug in and just disassembled the little mouse to make it as small as possible (basically a circuit board and a couple of buttons) then just stuck it on my mac beside the trackpad just far enough to be out of the way but with the right and middle mouse buttons conveniently located to use when necessary.
It's so small, it doesn't get in the way at all. I used the kind of adhesive that doesn't leave residue when you pull it off and you can keep sticking it on over and over. I don't know, works for me.

Yeah, because that always happens to everybody. Crawl back under your bridge, little troll.

What does being from Canada have to do with anything? I took typing class in the sixth grade in South Carolina.
A fitting quote but you get extra points if you're pulling from the original Catcher in the Rye rather than the ripped off Ghost in the Shell.
1. The songs suck so bad that they are afraid people are going to hear them 3 times and get so sick of them that they won't want to buy.
2. They think people are going to hook the zune into their soundcard on the back of their PC's and copy the songs instead of buying.
Just sayin.

Selling fake dope is illegal. Hosting fake copyrighted files is not illegal. Your analogy fails miserably.
