you know you are right. We got my brother a laptop for christmas that was loaded up with windows 8. hes never set up a PC before and he only had to ask me 1 question on install (they wanted a windows live id i did not want him to use it and stay with a local acct) Then metro shows up. im looking around he figured everything out in a few minutes.
I think the problem, if you want to look at it as one, is that most of us have been using the exact same windows based system for 20 years. Sure there have been tweaks, some good, some bad, but as a tool, which is how most of us use windows, everything was always right there. windows 8, while I am sure is fine under its shell, completely made it more consumer driven by default. I almost liken it to muscle memory, but for the brain pathways.
all that really means is they cant use the "ultrabook" name on their laptop if its not touch. I for one dont care if my laptop, or notebook or ultra book or whatever the marketing treding term is, they can still make a "laptop" with that chip and no touch screen
That is new to me, granted i havent had to buy a router in quite some years.
username blank and password admin by default, no protection on by default, but plug it in and it just works. so I would wager that 90% of the moms and dads out there have open wireless. I personally see millions of "linksys" points out there...
Thank you, I was going to reply with the same. Prior to the modern NFL players wore leather on their heads or nothing at all, and as someone who played pro rugby for 1 year myself, while it is more common for a rugby player to end up with a more severe injury, they dont happen as often. The gear worn by NFL players gives them a false sense of security, and as such they hit harder. If you have an exposed head, you are less likely to use your head as an attack point, something that NFL players do pretty much every play.
What a lethal, false security are the "gun-free zone" laws. Virtually all mass murders in the past 20 years have occurred in gun-free zones. The two people murdered several days earlier in a shopping center in Oregon were also killed in a gun-free zone.
Hopefully, the Connecticut tragedy will be the tipping point after which a rising chorus of Americans will demand elimination of the gun-free zone laws that are in fact criminal-safe zones.
Did they also explain to you that 61 of the last 62 mass shootings took place in "gun free zones" I know crazy that law abiding citizens would follow the laws that a crazy person would ignore.
so again, how will outlawing XX stop anything when it already is shown that gun free zones are criminal welcome zones?
on that same logic, Neither has there been any mass shootings using automatic weapons yet they talk about them non stop everytime a crazy person goes crazy.
everyone knows when you was 10 bucks you ask for 100 bucks, so when you get told no, you ask for 10 bucks and make them think that they won. the truth is thats what you wanted all the time
I think that we all can pretty much agree that the banks screwed us, the only question is where did it start. The old chicken and egg. I claim the government is just as much to blame as the banks for one main reason. The government writes the rules. The government forced the banks to take on risky debt (housing bubble) which led to the colapse. There is a lot more involved, yes the banks were shakey, but paulson said you either do what we say, or we will make you do what we say. and the unwritten words spoken are if you dont do what we say, we will make you, and you will suffer for it.
I do not think your argument is really valid. While you are totally correct in that the banks should have been let to fail on their own, new banks would have taken over no big deal. But I do not see how you can say the banks are wrong, even though normally you agree, because the banks did stuff unrelated.
in other words, just because the banks are also bad guys, at times, when they get screwed they should have the same legal resource as anyone else. They should not be told well, you may have been screwed, but you did this so lets call it even.
that is debatable. I know that some banks were actually forced to take money from the government
The first 1-pager is Paulson's talking points for the bank. It basically confirms that he put a gun to all their heads. It says they must agree to take their cash, and that if they protested, then each bank's regulator would force them to take it anyway.
on a local level that may have been true. All I can really remember about it at the time was the media making it about race. but the point does still stand. pandering instead of upholding the rule of law
Remember the duke lacrosse issue? I wonder why that case was so high profile, eventhough the accuser was shown to be lying and this is the first time i am hearing about this
I just would wager it makes more sense not to download and play the game if you find it offensive, not complain and ruin things for people who would enjoy it.

you mean how it says "sponsored result" is not good enough?
Oh I know all about how the misrepresent the weapons. But they do bring up automatic weapons as an excuse almost every time
they are not AS COMMON, the injuries may be greater when they happen, but they do not happen as often.

oh I know, I was adding to your comment. I guess you missed it as well
Might as well close the forum down, this is gonna be the best answer concerning this issue. if only I had mod points

that is what obama is a master at.
does it really matter? whatever O wants, O gets. He makes bushes over reach in power look like childs play. Whatever happened to checks and balances?
dont make me smack you in the face with a large trout!!
right. And next they will network the guns wirelessly. And you will have to check in with the government before you fire the gun.
you pull the trigger, a popup comes up
are you sure you wanted to do that? click yes or no
yes
if you fire that bullet you might hurt someone, are you REALLY sure you want to do that?
yes
sorry we cant process your request at this time, please try again
yeah sounds great....
And even after reading your article, it all pretty much points to paulson as they key to this.

When is the last time the NRA or one of its members went on a shooting spree?
