That's actually a VERY ontopic comment, it's referring to verizon cell phone ads using the verizon guy, while saying that people on cell phones using bluetooth are subject to this vulnerability so we can all hear what they are saying. Actually it's funny, this is the only modded comment I've seen.
I agree with parent, the arguement that "capitalism hasn't failed, it's that what has been implemented as capitalism has failed" is useless. What I was talking about was what we commonly call capitalism as it has been implemented in our society. That's what has failed all but the upper 1% and destroyed the world. Whatever we have, it's called capitalism and it's failed all of us.
The morals that should accompany capitalism haven't followed China's developing capitalist economy.
That is the single most hilarious statement I have EVER read. Right...capitalism leads to honest business practices, that's exactly why we don't have monopolies or a poisoned environment from big businesses or a business run government selling poison as medicine or thousands of soldiers dying each day for a businesss man's oil company...We sure do live in a moral nation!
How come it's all gotta sound the same. What's the point of downloading your music when it's exactly the same as the music that's played day in and day out on the radio. Your music is not rock and roll by the way...Rock and Roll by definition should be interesting. Rock and Roll should piss off parents, not rock fans. Since when is whining badly off key the only form of rock you can hear.
Oh, wait I know.
I've had this many times before. The exact same product, the only difference is the container was smaller and it was in italian...most small italian grocers and deli's have this stuff around the holidays for years now...the exact same triggering mechanism, the same product, the only difference is size. Why the hell is this product being marketed as new?
The problem with Trey blablablah is that you have to be a stoned frat boy from new jersey or a trustafundian (no really I'm rasta) white kid from the burbs and stoned off yer tukus to not realize how boring the music is. OOOHHH the omniwhatever!!! Wow gooballs!!!
hmm, x86 apple. last of the star wars prequels, boston winning, now a dead seed from the desert returns. Well, at least we won't have to deal with another season of American Idol. I for one welcome our new date masters.
1. I've had lots of problems with other people's boxes. I hate monopolistic practices (I get my software free, so I don't pay in to the monopoly), I hate non working software more.
2. Debian install, about 2 years ago, the only way i could get the screen resolution to default to a readable one was (according to over a half dozen pro linux friends) a recompilation with the appropriate drivers
3. Haven't used IE since the early days of Pheonix (pre thunderbird)
Microsoft products suck, but they suck in reliability.
X products suck, but they suck in usability.
A couple of months ago I was asked to a class on a PCL tool so that I could teach how to use it to the guy who asked me. He gave me a new Gateway M675PRR laptop to use (sweet box!) and I decided to buy a copy of XP Pro and put it on one of my Linux boxes (2 years old) as a backup, just in case the laptop went out before my mission was complete. That copy of XP Pro cost $214 (the cheapest I could find on the web) and I ended up installing it TWICE because making VFAT the default OS for C:\ didn't work. (I wanted to be able to read and write all the HD partitions) After the second install the only thing that XP recognized was the HD, monitor, keyboard and mouse. Nothing else. No sound. No DVD. No CD. No WonderTV card. No scanner. No printer. It took several more hours to run down drivers to get everything working. Installing SimplyMEPIS-3.3 on that whitebox took 15 minutes and EVERYTHING was recognized.
UMM, no. I've been a windows tech for years, and that has never EVER happened to me with XP or even 2000. Chances are you didn't know what you were doing and decided you knew better than the OS. This is a bunch of pro linux FUD. BTW I hate microsoft more than about anyone else but you know what...my hardware all works, my software is all free, i've never had a virus, never seen the BSOD in an xp box, never had a crash that wasn't hardware, never had to recompile the EFFING kernel to change screen resolution. Windows, though evil, works without having to be an Ubernerd. Plug and play is a joke with most linux distros.
I was starting to think that there weren't any new Apple posts that were going to come out, then the big switch happened. Are we going to have to deal with some minutia being revealed as big news EVERYDAY until the new line is released? I can't deal with a year of B&W g3 to atx mods being touted as a mac\pc crossover. Please could we get some NEWS?

Shoudn't have at least used a glove? I hope he sealed it with duct tape. Boy, this space age stuff is too high tech for me!

NASA hasn't been N.A.S.A. for at least 30 years. It's spelled NASA out of habit, but it's more accurately Nasa.
