"Wow, thanks for providing yourself as proof of my claim." I didn't. I never said Colbert wasn't biased, clearly he has a bias in that he'll make more fans if he embarasses the President with the truth. The difference is that he is a reliable source of information about what's happening in the world, and Fox News is not giving anything but the "conservative perspective" which may or may not be how things are.
I immunized my Apple by putting it through one of those radiation machines that they use on produce apples. I can't even turn the darn thing on now, so it's not getting a virus I'm pretty sure.
"a source isn't biased if you agree with it." Why else could Fox News get away with their insane claim that they are Fair and Balanced? About 32% of Americans eat up their tripe, even after people like Colbert give the truth in his truthiness style.
The risk to humanity long term is greatest if we don't wipe out these bugs while we have the infrastructure and effective vaccine to do it with. Mumps is one disease that I think we could eliminate with a well pressed vaccination effort worldwide. Slacking off in one area only leaves a zone for the disease to make a comeback eventually.
It's crazy though that they ever put a mercury product in an injection, however. That is just too stupid.
And with the government demand to hand over logs they don't want to give, the fellating might happen sooner rather than later in order to get out of that pickel Bush is putting them into.
At least if they fellate Bush, then we can finally impeach him;-)
"Me...I just want my goddamned flying car" A more significant use of thought-reading computers could be to have them design a device or program of our wishes/thoughts. Until this point people have had to program or draw what they want and tell the machines what to do to make it. Maybe now besides a computer reading our thoughts so we can never be free [since the computer would hand over our thoughts to a government request for information], we can also have them design wonderful things automatically by thinking about it, and letting the computer work out the details.
I know my first thought password wil be along the lines of: "If you don't let me into this computer right now, I'm going to throw you out of the window."
The Urgent-use chip that typically prevents access to a technology when the user is in desperate need, will be in direct conflict with the new thought reading password-chip. The upcoming internal struggle in computers will be interesting to watch, but a pain to support.
Statistics Canada has designed an online application to gather census data from Canadians in May. Lockheed Martin designed the software. There's a big gaping privacy concern right there, but you're wrong they aren't going to use it anyway.
The movie is based on the book. I read the book first, and then saw the movie, but both were great. I was less impressed with MIB the movie after reading the book based on the movie.
"created a vicious cycle in which child pornography continually becomes more widespread, more graphic, more sadistic, using younger and younger children. "
Soon the children exploited will be so young that they won't even have been born or conceived yet.
How they could release a Rollup Update patch into the wild and not even test it with Microsoft Word XP is beyond reason. After applying Version 1 of that patch, you'd no longer be able to save files to floppy disks, and if you try it pretty much hangs the computer up.
I was affected by the problem and figured it out since someone else I knew had mentioned that Windows Update broke their computer too. Lousy Microsoft works badly with HP crap programming these days. HP's programs really stink. They ignore attempts to stop software upgrade checks, crash with some deep freeze products, and don't work on small resolution screens like 640X480.
I'm sure you know, but just in case there's a new geek reading, the 640k limit was enacted in RAM by Microsoft as the basic memory limit, and wasn't related to hard drive space. When RAM was limited to 640k, there were already 15MB or 20MB Seagate hard drives around, and possibly bigger.
I like the idea too, as long as it doesn't involve the Kirk and Spock actors from http://www.newvoyages.com/ They are cool guys, but their acting wouldn't translate well to the big screen;-)
Bushh is the "Decider" President now. Haven't you heard? He's decided to delegate his duties out to appointees, until his only remaining duty is Commander of Watch This Swing.
The thing that makes Ubuntu the distro to have is that it has a growing "n00b base". This benefits experienced Linux users, because if they are running the same distro as the people they will end up supporting, then the Linux community as a whole becomes stronger and easier for people to get into. Wouldn't it be nice to run the same system as everyone else you know, and still be using Linux?
Holy crap! The TASK LIST? How in the heck is anyone ever supposed to develop a competing operating system if an essential feature like 'the list of tasks running displayed on the screen' is something you have to pay Microsoft to include? No wonder Ubuntu doesn't include something as basic as MP3-playing by default, the US patent laws are all fricked up.

"Job@Book of Job" was clearly an email ALIAS. It was a SPY movie after all, they had to have had Aliases everywhere.
The C&L video cut out the parts where Colbert blasts other people, giving the biased impression that he was only picking on the Presdient.
"Wow, thanks for providing yourself as proof of my claim."

Puggy from Big Trouble like Fritos too. People who have seen the movie will know who I'm talkin' about.

AC you misunderstood. Windows 2000 Rollup Update 1 from a few months ago broke Office XP.
How they could release a Rollup Update patch into the wild and not even test it with Microsoft Word XP is beyond reason. After applying Version 1 of that patch, you'd no longer be able to save files to floppy disks, and if you try it pretty much hangs the computer up.
It's not common, but people who have trouble seeing like it better than 800x600, and HP has trouble with 800x600 even.
