FM radio? Is this the '70s? Why not HD radio? Zune has that.
And no camera or GPS for the new iPod touch models? The iPod I want has no cell circuitry at all, but has GPS, WiFi and video/still camera, just like the iPhone, but without AT&T.
Well that's because police / military don't think anyone should be allowed to have a weapon but them
Oh, look. You're paranoid and delusional, too.
People like you who run screaming when they see a gun are just as immature as people who run screaming when they see a woman breast feeding in public.
I happen to own a gun, and have never run screaming from it. But I don't wave it around at health care townhalls like it was a penis. Also, I don't have breasts, but I am not afraid of them when used as intended.
A gun, a bomb, a knife, or any other object is only as dangerous as the person wielding it.
That's exactly my point. People carrying guns to health care townhalls are not in fear for their lives, they are making a point, and that point is to intimidate people they think disagree with them.
Calling 911 is not freaking out. Disagreeing with you is not freaking out.
Bricks and cutlery have primary uses that are harmless. Guns are primarily used for killing at a distance, not holding up walls or slicing vegetables.
I'd love to see some sort of "how to handle being out among other people" class for gun owners, so they are reminded that not everyone shares their fetish for weapons.
The only people who see a gun and freak out or think that guns are something to be afraid of are those who've never handled a gun.
Cops responding to a call freak out when they see a gun. But wait, drawing ones own weapon is not freaking out, but calling 911 is. I see.
It always amazes me that gun owners fail to understand that when people talk about their feelings towards guns, they are really talking about their feelings towards gun-wielders. In this case, the Halo rifle was not walking down the street by itself. It was being wielded by a person. The 911 caller was alarmed by the person carrying what they thought was a powerful weapon.
So remember kids, when we're talking about guns and gun control, we're really talking about gun toters, not inanimate objects.
The difference is, CIOs like to be able to go and yell at someone in their office for an outage, and know that it's being worked on in some measurable fashion. They don't like it when your answer is, "I don't know what's going on. Ask Google."
That's a pretty poor answer to give him, when you should have had Google's answer for him already.
1) if you intend to run servers etc, a business package may well be more for you, since the ISP probably won't restrict that so much - you get what you pay for, and if you pay for a generic consumer package that's what you'll get.
That's fine. Just don't refer to the "generic consumer package" with blocked ports and redirects as unlimited Internet access. If I am connected to the Internet, I expect to be able to connect and be connected to as I wish, because that's what the Internet is. Call it the Comcast Walled Garden Online Package instead, because that's what it is.
And then there's "Gamer" ("Who's Playing You?" is the tagline) that seems like yet another film coming out with the very same theme, before "Avatar" and "Surrogates" (Sept 4 release).
Have fun on your long descent into the madness we enjoy here in California. Don't forget to kick your governor out of office and put Carl Weathers in his place (the only principal actor in "Predator" who hasn't been a governor yet).
Really, how hard is it to go to iTunes (or Amazon, or Lala, or eMusic, or whatever other online shop you want to go to) and purchase an MP3 of the hot new song?
Well, since you asked, in the case of the Beatles it is not possible. But anticipating this answer is why you said "the hot new song" isn't it?
Apple users will pay double for an app with functionality that we've had on our Blackberries for years.
BB fanboi alert!
Blackberry users accept carrier lock-in and pay up to $10/month extra to use that GPS chip.
I keep forgetting that unless I wait years for the privilege of paying double, so that my technical toys come with that Apple logo, I just wont ever be a hipster!
I keep forgetting, Blackberry users are helping make the idea of software by subscription mainstream, while looking down their nose at people who only pay once. Thanks a lot!
The reason for this rule was due to Girls Gone Wild coming to Burning Man and later selling footage of naked girls from whom they did not receive permission to do so.
That's already illegal no matter what BMO does. You must obtain a release before using a person's identifiable image in a commercial production. If those girls consented, who is BMO to tell them they cannot appear in a GGW video? If they didn't consent, it's not BMO's place to act as their legal representative, unless they were so hired.
There are many BM participants that plainly don't want the world to see them nude, or having what's a potentially lascivious time. That's their right and a good protection to have fun without the PTA burning you at the stake.
But it's not their right. Anything occurring in a public place can be photographed.
I find it highly ironic that BM people want to be free to express themselves by dancing in the nude or whatever, but they don't want their expression to be photographed. What about the photographer's desire to express himself through photography? It's really quite... what's the word... clique-ish.
If you don't want to be photographed in the nude in a public place, don't be nude in a public place. Pretty simple.
It's no different than if I had my own alt for mining or industry or trading, which I used to generate cash to fund my other character's activities. Except that if I've been playing long enough where I no longer enjoy the grind of mining, or building, or trading, I can pay for another player's subscription for his alt through a GTC sale, and gain much the same thing without the grind.
Either way, there was going to be a money-making alt on the server, which did nothing but grind for cash.

Irony can be pretty ironic.
I doubt it matters.
Congratulations, you found someone on the internet who was wrong and corrected them.

Says the Strong Man who ... dreams of creating a Castro-like cult of personality for himself.
I'd say he already has. I mean, look at how he has you foaming at the mouth - just like people do at Castro.
What competent person would want to work for the government if they can work someplace nice?
They get an excellent health care plan and a pension for retirement. The private sector cannot^will not compete with this.
Please define "Consensus".
Please take your puerile objections to a townhall meeting where Barney Frank will set you straight.
GW is almost purely political and socially driven.
So is your misinformed opinion on the subject.

Sometimes I feel like these people in Hollywood are conflicted about the lavish lifestyles they enjoy and are trying to foist their guilt trips on us.
Sometimes I feel people who say asinine shit like this are projecting.
No, actually, I feel it every time people say asinine shit like this.
And then there's "Gamer" ("Who's Playing You?" is the tagline) that seems like yet another film coming out with the very same theme, before "Avatar" and "Surrogates" (Sept 4 release).
It's a me-too cluster!

Facebook is a fad, like Myspace, and Geocities. You won't be using it in 3 years.
