I agree with you. I don't get why anyone would feel stiffed. I have a 900 so I should really feel stiffed. I don't.
I am not in a plaza in Maryland (I wish I was right now) I am in the desert and wanted a small machine for when I sit outside to get my wifi signal, and the 900 works great. I have a 15" MacBook Pro inside if I need it, but I haven't yet.
My only regret is that it made my MBP that I bought to bring here pretty much useless.
Insightful? WTF it was a joke.
You see the comment "I can. I can stop caffeine any time I want to." seemed similar to the alcholic or addict saying "i can quit any time" and the admitting you have a problem line is the cliche answer to that. of course not funny now, i explained it, that instntly renders it unfunny
I shouldn't complain, if you want to mod me up go for it. I think maybe there does need to be a sarcasm indicator.
Doesn't matter if you buy it or not. There are a lot of Americans in the 30k range that DO have houses. I am one of them.
Following your formula for middle class status.
We have 3 kids both of us have 401k plus I have military retirement when I hit 60
We own a home
I DO own a house on 30k wether or not you accept it. There are a lot of us out there. I am not the exception.
Maybe I misunderstood your point and was off base. I take it from your reply that you believe that millions were gathered up and put in camps and killed, but your skeptical on the issue of actually using gas to do the killing or if they died from starvation/poor sanitation or other abuses at the hands of the guards. I can buy that as an argument, but even if it is true I really don't see the importance of that point. They still gathered up millions and killed them, we are just disputing the tools used to commit the genocide.
If camps where millions of people were brought to die, regardless of the means, are not death camps, what are? Is it only a death camp if gas is used?
Since you replied to the post about hate crime laws in the US I assumed you were talking about US laws. I can not comment about the laws of "many countries". I wasn't very specific but I still challenge you to point me to a US or state law that outlaws a thought, not speech meant to incite hate crimes or other violence just a thought or belief.
Nazi documentation is the only evidence you will accept? Do You put more faith in the records of the government responsible for the killings than all of the other governments who were not?
That last line has me puzzled. "accept that I will never believe in the holocaust". I don't get it, if we found out tomorrow that all of the Jews were killed with plastic sporks it wouldn't change anything, the holocaust was the gathering up and killing of millions of Jews, not the tools used to do it with.
I couldn't decide if I wanted to mod or post.
I ended up posting when I failed to find a -1 WTF or -1 HOLY SHIT. I thought about modding funny but thought most would misunderstand my intent.
Which law specifies penalties for a thought that you have? I have been out of touch a little the last couple months, out of the country, but am not aware of any laws banning a thought or idea. I am not saying it doesn't exist, but "I have seen no convincing evidence".
Where did the graves full of bodies come from. I suppose the photos of that could be from something else or faked. Does that mean anything that you don't see yourself is suspect?
What about the war in Iraq? Is that Fake? (I am there now,I assure you it is real)
Atomic bombs in WWII was that propaganda? I certainly didn't witness that one!
Kennedy's assasination, I never saw the body myself. I guess I have seen no "convincing evidence" that he is not in hiding exercising power from an undisclosed location.
I am all about being skeptical but where is the line? What is convincing evidence to you?
I have been playing these DVDs in my laptop since
I got here with no problems. I have not heard of anyone getting a virus from the DVDs here. I have bought a couple crappy cam movies but most are really very good quality and have caused no prblems. TFA also talked about sharing flash drives with IA soldiers. I would guess that is where the problem lies. I would also be very cautious with the wireless internet that is for sale by the locals, it is not very secure. There have been some minor problems there.
BTW here is Northern Iraq.
bulletproof glass, glasses, light optics. I would bet money no place making any of those items is using recycled PC in those items. I make headlights almost every day in an IM plant and the customers we make lights for would never allow us to use recycled material in them. The items I see in the plastic plant made of recycled material are things like pallets and shipping containers. I could be wrong, but I don't think the places making bulletproof glass are chucking ground up AOL cds in the mix, I am pretty sure all of those items are made of 100% virgin material.
It was, in my opinion, modded incorrectly. It should have been +5 funny.
It is pretty obvious the type of people/. brings in and some opinions are pretty strong here. If you want to see comments that discuss how much they love MS and think vista is going to be super duper you are pobably in the wrong place.
It would be something like being at the Democratic convention and bitching because no one loves Bush.
I am glad to see a comment from someone who knows what the hell they are talking about. This has been painful to read untill now.
In my experience the critical skill is the ability to get a BN CDR to allow the signal personnel to dictate the SOP for such a compromise. I can react to it, my problem is getting the proper reaction put in place in the sop and practiced so it can be done properly when needed.
the new version at least. I remember a couple of scenes in the john.
I think it may be universal I don't know of many shows that include going to the bathroom scenes. I don't remember Lassie ever leaving a pile on the ground but I don't think it implied that Lassie didn't have to crap from time to time, it just didn't need to show it.
I would like to see some scifi movie/show deal with the effects of faster than light travel sometime. I don't think anyone ever has any side effects from traveling across the galaxy in about 30 seconds.
I think there is a big difference in picking up a case of beer and an expensive computer purchase. I am a beer lover and will not fault you for getting Red Stripe anyway, but the last time I picked up some I spent about $10, the last time I bought a Mac I spent a little over $2000. I may spend $10 on a whim but not $2000. I may be the minority, I know that I hate those Dell ads but if I decided that I wanted one ( I don't) that would be the last thing to influence my decision.
I don't claim to be an expert in advertising. I am sure Apple employs such experts. Apple may be gaining/losing sales due to the ads. I just know that personally they would be the last thing I considered in such a purchase.
If the buying decision is based on your opinion of the silly ads and not on the hardware/software package or any other factor then I would doubt the sincerity of your claim to be toying with getting a Mac.
I admit I am a big Mac fan but my reasons have nothing to do with the commercials. I have an Ipod but I really don't like the ads for Ipods, maybe I shouldn't have bought it because of that.
What are they going to do when they report that 95% of the customers skip commercials and that pisses off networks/advertisers? If they try to keep them happy and mess with the ability to ff commercials I will be first in line to drop the service. That and season pass is what makes tivo so great.
GP doen't need to point to medical/cop dramas to prove his point about a lot of stupid people. One just needs to go to a public place and observe for a while, it becomes obvious very quickly.
Someone who is going off on someone else for being an "arrogant elitist" should not start a sentence with "people like you" and then call them stupid.
Yup, I am sure Firefly was cancelled due to his attitude. That must have been it. I bet mine didn't help either.
I don't watch commercials, according to your logic I am smart, Thank You. I don't think commercial watching is an accurate predictor of intellect. I have seen people I know staring blankly at the set watching some crap about cheetos or whatever and realized why advrtising is such a big business.
The only stories I saw links to here had a couple of pictures that looked like someone took them with their phone. Everyone is an expert on this issue and I have yet to see a decent photo of it.
I have seen a crapload of posts with others saying they have the same thing with older ibooks and powerbooks but still no decent pics.
I personally have a G3 ibook and a G4 PB both get heavy use, with no serious color/appearance issues.
Go ahead blast the Mac book pro/mac book. I am a SERIOUS Mac fan and I will be just fine with Apple maintaining the current market share, that just means it is less lucrative to write crapware that will target my machines. All of you that see these pics and go eeew its yellow Please go buy a Vaio because you don't get it.
have an American accent. I have read a quote from him in which he stated that the only complaint he had about his computer/voice synthesizer was that he sounded american. I believe a California company built it for him.
he is an American. I think he is under the impression that he was born and works and lives in England. I am sure he will appreciate you clearing this up for him.
My "clean" acct. has gotten a VERY small amount of spam over the last few months, maybe 1 a week. I actually credit the fact that most of the people who know it are fairly tech savvy, and while it is possible for them to pick something up it is less likely than the average person who will download/open anything. I have been very lucky with it though, I will grant that.
I read somewhere, I don't remember where right off so no promises on accuracy, that you are more likely to get your card number stolen by using it at a restaurant than from an online transaction. I am normally pretty careful about using my card especially over the phone. I generally don't use it on the phone and will only use it online with trusted, businesses that I know are legit.
If the voip spam/phishing issue does get to be a problem in the future I think voip will make it easier to deal with than having a line from the phone company. I am not really the expert on such things but I would think that voip service would give you more flexibility to deal with spam than trying to deal with the phone company. I don't know. I know so far I like it and don't plan on going back to the phone company anytime soon.
I have used voip for my home phone for almost two years. I have never gotten a telemarketer or even a wrong number, not once in almost two years. I think this is probably due more to the fact that the number is not listed anywhere. If I don't give it to you it would take a lot of effort to find it.

also from TFA
"telling agency officials that an e-mail message containing the document would not be opened,"
I think that part was the point being made. That they refused to acknowledge it by refusing to open the email, a bit childish if you ask me.
Insightful? WTF it was a joke.

To heck with windows and linux. The rumor is that Icoffee will be released soon.
You know the first step in getting help is admitting that you have a problem.
