... if it was a crime where he did it but not here, it's still a crime. there's plenty of places where things that are illegal here are legal, I still can't do those things.
though I find it amusing that the US government expects google to comply with them, but not with Indian or Chinese governments. That's hilarious.
This is normal advertising. Three out of four dentists can't like everything.
Granted, MS is throwing around skewed numbers and outright misdirection as fact, but what else is new? they always have. So do most businesses. the only difference here is that most linux distros don't have the money or sway to combat it.
Are you suggesting that you're chocked that the numbers were corrected something like four years after the fact? The fact remains that on election night they registered more voted for bush than there were voters in the district. Fact. I looked at it with my own eyes. if you don't like my numbers, feel free to disbelieve. I'm sure that will vastly improve the voting situation in the US.
Total number of votes received by Bush in Gahanna, Ohio,Ward 1B: 4,258
Total number of ballots cast in Gahanna, Ohio, Ward 1B: 638
The ballots are public. Go check yourself. Or google the city of gahanna.
I suppose I meant to say registered more votes, but feel free to assume a total rework of the grammatical structure of the sentence rather than a typo. Makes sense.
I hate my state.
On election night of the last election we almost immediately found a district near me where they had registered more voted for Bush than existed in the whole county. Gotta love when they're obvious.
At no time did he lead texas? He WAS leading texas till 11:30 or so. Granted, thenumbers weren't in, but that's kind of like saying that the sun wasn't shining this morning just because it's raining now. of course he lead for a while. She just overtook him. End of story.
Hell, with the right clustering software this could be done already. Virtual machines hosting the internet could cluster with other webhosting sites and the like. No reason a cluster has to be all in one place, really. The networking isn't there yet, but once it is this sounds like it isn't a bad idea (in theory).
Yeah, it was more the look of someone who was really wondering what the end of the book was going to be.
The look of someone who was just told that America was attacked is gigantic. it's a man interrupting a class of children to pick his presidential jaw up off the floor and then running out of the room to get shit done. His face was the look of a man who just heard that the ten o clock news was being Tivo'ed for him.
Great. Now I have an innovative (simulated) touchscreen product that lets me and another person sit around the table, work on the same stuff, and both get the same awful neck cramps. This'll really help build friendships in line for aspirin at the drug store.
I'll get right on that as soon as they put out world of warcraft for the xbox.
Actually, WoW runs better on linux, but there are a huge number of great (opinion) games that are simply not console games.
Also, I can't properly surf the web while playing GTA3.
Of course it does. Dell doesn't pay for windows and they already have the architecture in place to install it.
Hell, they probably have to install linux OVER it.
If Dell were actually paying for Windows, this would be a different story, but then if Dell were paying for windows, there would be less Dell, wouldn't there?
No driver thinks the key makes the car go. They may not understand how the engine works, but they get that it is what makes the car go and that the key just makes the engine go. And there was a time when all users understood this. That the internet was just a thing that you could access using program x. And for a while that was IE, netscape, AOL. Now it's all just IE because MS worked very hard to give people that impression. They actively made people dumber.
On a mac, the monitor is the computer. So when the user thinks that turning off the monitor turns off the computer they're right. If you buy a seperate monitor, then that same assumption is wrong. To go back to your car analogy, nobody is to stupid that they think that turning off the radio turns off the car. They just understand that the radio and the engine are two different things. Just like people should get that the tower and the monitor are two different things.
Reproduction is the point of evolution. Not existence and certainly it does not make someone better. It does advance the marching moron theory, which makes me sad.
If your sad excuse for a user doesn't know which file browser or web browser or calculator to use, then he should do what every windows user does. Use what's already on there.
And as for repositories, if you don't want complex software that most windows computers (read all windows computers) don't actually come with anyway, then sure, you'll have to install it, but that's not new. You have to install that stuff in windows as well.
Also: I'm a professional. I use openoffice and the gimp. I've never had one problem. The gimp is inadequate for professional work only if you are a professional graphic artist, and if you are, you're going to get a mac anyway. Openoffice, despite claims to the contrary, is not at all inadequate. It's just a bit different.
As for gaming, you're right. Game makers don't create linux versions. Then again, I haven't found a game I want to play that I can't run on wine. But really, if gaming is all you want your PC for, then use windows. Or mac, I guess. So whole hog. I would never suggest that anyone purchase a gaming PC and put just linux on it (despite the fact that all my games run better under wine than they ever did natively under windows).
I don't mind the soap opera garbage, though I agree the unending sexual tension with Adama and rosalin is getting to be very who's the boss.
The constant off and on respect/hate that he and Lee have is starting to make them both look stupid. Last season he thought his son was ready to command his own battlestar forever, now he has no integrity and shoudln't be in a viper? For a smart guy, he's got the memory of a goldfish.
I agree that the Cylons needs ot win more. they look stupid. they have better technology, better weapons, and they can't bear the crap that BSG can throw at them occasionally? how about the cylons develop a weapon that delays a jump by like two seconds, so that their huge armada would actually get to touch BSG just once. How many times can you jump out at the last nanosecond?
I love BSG and I have high hopes for this season, but it's got a lot of flaws that they need to patch.
That would be great if not for several facts, like the fact that Cylons looking like humans and having a biological component is new. Also, the cylons were created as machines well after the 13th colony took off. Certainly humanity did not mingle with that race at all, as they were reptilian.
I'm not saying they won't try that somehow, but it doesn't fit in my brain with what we're been told.
I could not disagree more. I love Battlestar. Lots. And I want to see it end when it's right for the story and while it's still good. Lest it go the way of the X-Files.
That's not a trap, it's called being minimally observant.
I agree that conservative should not = religious nut job, but that's irrelevant. I'm sure there are plenty of nice moderate guys in the KKK but the guys in charge are wackos, and as a result anyone who supports their organization is supporting hate filled whack jobs and the same applies here. Until the conservatives in this country grow a pair and get someone other than a fundie cretin in charge of their political party, the game is still over and conservative might as well be the same as religious nut job. Because it's the religious nut jobs at the top making all the decisions and the fact that you are probably a nice reasonable conservative doesn't make them saner.

Stop it! Just stop it!
Stop turning school into a religious debate! Stop it right now!
Teach facts. That's your only stupid job.

Being an elitist doesn't make him wrong. In fact, it's more likely to make him right.

Don't be daft. It's there because some record label thinks that it's what people will buy.
More to the point, it's what they think certain groups of people will buy in bulk because they will think it's cool.
I'm not sure that I have faith in google's ability to do this, but I do admire the intent.

There are still fans of the original battlestar? There are people who liked the old Starbuck? Better? Are those people woman-haters?
