I think the difference is that comparing the lone nutjobs who do those things in the name of christianity are a rounding error, where on the other hand there is a large number of people, who in the name of their religion are doing horrible horrible things
Comparing the beheadings of 100s of men and women of the past month alone (let alone the history of the war with islam which goes back to our founding . - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B...) is simply wrong. We as a country have literally been at war with them since day 1 yet nothing has changed.
“In 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams met with Tripoli’s ambassador to Great Britain to ask him by what right his nation attacked American ships and enslaved American citizens. He claimed that the right was founded on the laws of their prophet and that it was written in the Koran that all nations that didn’t acknowledge their authority were sinners, and that not only was it their right and duty to make war upon these sinners wherever they could be found, but to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Muslim slain in battle was guaranteed a place in Paradise. Despite this stunning admission of pre-meditated violence on non-Muslim nations, as well as the objections of numerous notable Americans, including George Washington, who warned that caving in was both wrong and would only further embolden their enemy, the United States Congress continued to buy off the Barbary Muslims with bribes and ransom money.
i get the point he is trying to make (i think ) but yeah, it doesnt really follow
I think what he is trying to say is that the IRS took away the rights of potential mouthpieces from talking about what they want (tea party targeting) but the same people who were ok with silencing the other side are now upset when their side is being silenced.
it really is a bad analogy, but thats what I took from it
and I am not one who buys into the doom and gloom scenarios that the global warming crowd would like us to, but restricting people from learning about it does nothing.
even if I am wrong, i would much rather an open debate over this.
dont disagree with your assessment. but you prove my point with words like "reasonably" and "most people" plain and simple there is still a market for desktops, I hate these articles because i do worry about the day that the manufacturers agree and stop making desktop cards
while I cannot disagree with a word you said. I was not talking about the masses per se. there is still a bunch of people who need that power, music people movie people cad guys. all need the power that a desktop has that a laptop cannot match yet (ok maybe music can get by on a laptop these days)
sure, if you play FPS games and thats about it. anything else the consoles ignore today with the exception of madden it seems 90% of console games are FPS, which i frankly hate with a passion
what is the video card on it? can you render CAD files? do video encoding?? I have yet to see a laptop with a video card that is even midrange by todays desktop cards.
again, im in no way saying that a laptop cant do most things a desktop can well, and sometimes even better, but to say that laptops can replace a dedicated desktop to me just seems like we are not there yet, and until we handle the cooling issues, it wont be.
exactly! I should have clarified. laptops are good enough for most people these days. hell i use my laptop 10X my desktop but for the things i need my desktop for (cad, editing, gaming) a laptop simply cannot compete.
I love it, I really do. The specs on portables have come a long way from my first inspiron back in 2001. but plain and simple I dont ever see laptops competing with desktops. They both have their purposes. and they both excel at different things. A desktop should be powerful, have large/multiple screens. Sure the laptop is powerful enough now adays but you wont ever get the cooling you can with a desktop which limits what you can put in them.
So while approaching DT performance might be a proper analysis, i dont think laptops can replace desktops
if it were cali or NY your father would be jailed, all the kids taken out of the home and split up. Ive personally seen it happen in NY when I was in high school a decade ago. i can only imagine it now
really? I can think of a number of cases where that much data would exist and not be that. Be it acadamia, youtube, large businesses etc.
and even if it was, that is still legal is it not??
{tin foil} it could all be a cover for collecting other data. meaning they are using this because they figure no one will complain about it when this is the topic at hand. but if they told us what they really took, people might get angry {/tin foil}

lol, should have seen that one. heres my geek card
so because YOU can do what you want, desktops shouldnt exist??? sorry jack. plain and simply disagree
dont disagree with your assessment. but you prove my point with words like "reasonably" and "most people" plain and simple there is still a market for desktops, I hate these articles because i do worry about the day that the manufacturers agree and stop making desktop cards
well dont worry. I just got a patent for "all previous patents that have been approved or will be approved....on a robot"
while I cannot disagree with a word you said. I was not talking about the masses per se. there is still a bunch of people who need that power, music people movie people cad guys. all need the power that a desktop has that a laptop cannot match yet (ok maybe music can get by on a laptop these days)

link broken
that does nothing to address the cooling aspect however

well thats because guys have 2 state. clean, and dirty (we will negate the middle levels of "clean enough" and "probably shouldnt"
all our clothes go in the washing machine at the same time, on cold. then it all goes in the dryer - on high
women have all sorts of clothes that need different settings and if we do it wrong we destroy everything.
can rig something up like that with a roomba
check in with the underpants gnomes. I hear some like to moonlight for the sock monster
I dont care who you are, thats funny
if it were cali or NY your father would be jailed, all the kids taken out of the home and split up. Ive personally seen it happen in NY when I was in high school a decade ago. i can only imagine it now
you really cannot make that claim being that it never happened, we have no idea how these things would have been handled.
all we can say for sure is that president obama, even by senator obamas standards is a huge failure
She didn't lie or cheat, at least not based on the emails.
you means the ones she let us see. being that we have no way of knowing what is missing, we cannot be sure.

* - if it were in america, i will admit i dont know canadas laws all too well
might as well take it to the next logical step.
its on the internet....
you are on the internet.....
therefore you are guilty for possessing illegal materials!
