I was specifically looking at article II, lying to the world about the war... that's not exactly small beans is it?
I do agree about climate change, but what can you do...
As if it were just about being unpopular. Get a grip... if you actually READ the articles in the.pdf there is seriously strong evidence for the criminal acts this president has wrought upon us. The political grandstanding comes when there is failure to act on this!
Kucinich just wants to look like he gives a shit. If he had the balls to actually do this, he'd have done it years ago. He has... over and over and is always shot down.
Actually it was Lucas who wanted the UFOs, even more so then was finally made. It was Spielberg who talked him down to what the final film became...

No kidding. I also have Comcast, and it used to be just torrents that were getting reset while other protocols (web/mail/etc.) were just fine. Now if I even have utorrent open my entire connection slows to the point of unusability, on all machines on my network. Web surfing gets reset connections. I am so livid that Comcast can get away with this, and doubly so since they are my only viable choice for broadband.
Well that's not exactly true, since by default Safari "opens safe files" when they are downloaded. So the steps are more like:
1) Go to a Mac user forum (from TFA)
2) Click on a video link
3) Click "OK" that you are downloading a.DMG file.
4) Type in your account password
5) Click next a few times
Still tough, but not quite so...
My thoughts as well.
"The question is where did they get them from? Either they re-evolved them, which is not very likely, or, to some degree, they interbred with archaic groups."
Since the traits in question were essentially throwbacks, why should it be all that surprising that they would turn up occasionally? Remember too that this the only skeleton we have from that time and place, and not even complete one at that.
And who are these archaic groups? And how do I join one?

AAC file encoded at 128kbps, is that low quality? Or is Mp3 at 192kbps low quality?
Yes and yes, at least to my ears. Of course, I work as a sound engineer so my ears are more attuned to the loss in range you get from such encoding. If you listen to an AAC or MP3 file on a good sound system next to a CD of the same track, there is a very noticeable difference. For me, it's hard to listen to. While older analog recordings include hiss and other interference, the range is still much more dynamic. At least an aiff file is as good as commercially available CD recordings.
Agreed completely.
What makes sense to me is not charging more for playing your content in more devices, but I would pay more for higher quality encoding of digital content. For instance, I can see paying $.99 for an AAC encoded track, but with the option of paying $3 for an uncompressed AIF file. Why? Because the AAC encoded file hurts my ears, and makes me cringe. If ITMS offered that sort of tiered pricing I can see profits for all involved increasing exponentially, while giving the consumer more choice in the marketplace.
What I hate is taking the time to compose a long email in which multiple issues need to be addressed and receiving a short reply that answers only the first question. For those people I end up sending them an email for each question... Well at least is isn't paper *sigh*.
Well, I can think of an easy answer: to begin to get out of the financial box MS has put most US governments. I can only speak about my own experience working in IT for Multnomah County in Portland, OR, but I know that they were spending millions each year on MS licensing fees, both for OS and Office applications. Sure, it can be expensive to switch IT standards, but it seems to me the more governments rely on open standards and open source software the less they have to spend keeping expensive proprietary software around.
As a side note, Oregon at one point was considering a bill that would force local government IT to consider open source when making technology decisions. A move that had MS down there in a jiffy with a team of FUD spreading lawyers who quickly squashed it. As a partial result, Multnomah county is now 100% MS, no NetWare, no Linux, no alternatives allowed. They even fired or demoted those who refused to switch....

Anyone else think this "promise" is about handing over all your information to MS so they can manage your entire online life? You promise to only use them and they'll promise to keep you safe from the bad hacker man and of course not to misuse your social security number. Sounds fair to me....

It's worth pointing out that Mac OS X is a fairly stable AD client out of the box, but works even better with ADMitMac...

No, it was the episode with the flute... he lived 30 years in 20 seconds.
Why was implanting a device in your brain to control the internet even a question in this survey? Scarier, %11 said they would?!?!
Sometimes even those in the inner circle are not listened to.....
He's on a mac, which has encryption built into the OS. Alas, it has to be turned on first.

Why not send them a single 500GB drive? ;)

Gee, isn't that also copyright infringement? To post a clip on their site?
The past 2,000 years actually. Paul was pretty sure he'd see it in his lifetime...
I believe it's called an ID-10-T error...
If he had advocated the spread of free software then I'd be shocked I suppose.....
