Ridiculous. We (Americans) most certainly don't have to be "involved". And by involved, I'm assuming you mean police the world and occupy it militarily. Fuck that shit.
I simply would like to know how I am being forced to spend for a handful of live soldiers, that shouldn't even be threatened in the first place. I think a little accountability would go a long way.
You just said yourself that there are no specific examples of NASA (or, specifically, NASA's launch of secret satellites) bringing home soldiers alive.
I did the same thing with Gizmo5 and an e71 about a year and a half ago. Call quality was so bad on 3g that voip was often unusable. I also had pre-paid minutes for backup though. Now I just suck it up with a 3G data plan on my Droid for $30 plus family plan voice for an extra $10. I had high hopes for voip at the time, but now I have to admit that it's more convenient to just pay a few bucks extra.
I did it for a few months with Gizmo5 and my old Nokia e71, which can be set up to use SIP out of the box. I had some pre-paid voice minutes as a back up. Voip over 3g was so bad that everyone always complained they couldn't hear me. That was about a year and a half ago. I ended up getting a Droid with full voice and data instead. Yeah I still hate paying that much for the data and voice plans. At least I'm on a family plan for voice so I'm only paying $10 extra for it. So to me that's not too bad.
I use 3g for streaming audio a lot at work, and I've never gone over 600mb. I imagine using voip full time might be enough to push me over 1gb. I don't really have a need to watch that many youtube videos while I'm on the go.
Statistically speaking, NFL coaches should be going for it on fourth down much more often. But they don't because of the fear that their calls will be unfairly scrutinized.
I use Mog and couldn't be happer. I listen to a lot of new releases and it's a lot better to just download however much I want. I used to buy and rip CDs but that's kind of a waste of time IMO. I hate using iTunes to manage and sync files.
I stopped using iTunes because it's so damn slow. Anything more than 10 songs there was major lag scrolling down. And that was on reasonably fast hardware with discrete video card.
Thoreau had it right. You can try and work within the system if you want, and there's nothing wrong with doing that. But sometimes civil disobedience is the only alternative that we the people have in fighting immoral and unjust laws. Some people ARE willing to face the consequences, and I applaud them. That is why they do it. Because they are willing to do what it takes to change society for the better.
The only traitors here are the lying scumbags in public office that Manning exposed. America's politicians need to be exposed for the corrupt assholes they are. The people in charge of our government are the ones who are selling out the country. The more embarrassment they get the better. Manning is a hero for the people of this great country, and this is an example of no good deed going unpunished.
2) disagreeing with a law morally entitles somebody to break it.
The law also forced Rosa Parks to sit in the back of the bus because of her skin color. Some laws are immoral and need to be broken for the greater good.
I see value in finding out what the problem is and why it happened.. if you just blindly re-image then the problem might pop up again at a less opportune time.,
That's why you have backup servers. Sometimes it simply isn't worth the time or effort to dig deeper. Re-imaging is completely rational from a business perspective.
No. Obama doesn't deserve a peace prize for continuing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan even though the American people want out. Not to mention all the supposed enemy combatants he continues to jail indefinitely without any evidence or trial. Many innocent lives continue to be destroyed because Obama refuses to quit the wars which he campaigned against.
I'm almost 100% certain that Obama's war machine has destroyed far more innocent life than it has helped. Is there anyone who is better off, besides the wealthy executives of industrial companies (war profiteers) who get the military contracts? Certainly not the average Iraqi, Afghani, or American citizen...
The hypocrisy in giving Obama the prize wasn't because he didn't have the chance to do anything. It's because Obama ended up embracing and extending Bush's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, bombing Pakistan and the covert operations there. He utterly failed in his promise to close Guantanamo, insists on continuing the practice of jailing so-called enemy combatants indefinitely with no evidence or trial, etc etc etc.
You don't give someone who willingly insists on conducting global wars the peace prize. At least not if you have any credibility whatsoever.

Ok, so I guess you just expect me to take your word for it. Alrighty then, problem solved!
I simply would like to know how I am being forced to spend for a handful of live soldiers, that shouldn't even be threatened in the first place. I think a little accountability would go a long way.
All I asked for was some concrete examples. Call me crazy, but I don't think a little verification for unfounded claims is too much to ask for.
Instead, all you did was attack me with abject lies and stupidity. Obviously you don't have any examples, so please kindly get the fuck out.
You just said yourself that there are no specific examples of NASA (or, specifically, NASA's launch of secret satellites) bringing home soldiers alive.
That's pretty convenient, isn't it? To say we need NASA for national security, then not be able to justify it with specific examples?
They could save far more soldiers lives by not involving them in pointless armed conflicts and military occupations around the globe...
Ok, well what lives have been saved in the past by intel from the CIA's super secret satellites? Please be specific.
In what way do secret spy satellites contribute to national security?

Maybe you're actually a chimpanzee.

It doesn't matter who the people vote for. Either Turd Sandwich or Giant Douche will get elected every single time.

No, not really. Anyone who actually discovered a cure for cancer could make billions.

Do you honestly think those people are better off now that there is a significantly higher chance they will be bombed on their way to work?
