Yeah he'll have a hell of a time if he doesn't end up assassinated.
If he were assassinated it would be the perfect premise for another authoritarian clampdown. Whether you believe 911 was internal or external terrorism it was used to remove rights in the interest of corporate powers. i.e. RIAA
If Obama was assassinated then the minorities who generally have the good sense to be suspicious of government power would be the ones calling for more of this "security".
I'm on the fence about Obama either he is honestly trying to serve his country or else he's just another figurehead for those who would exploit their fellow humans for their own profit.
I think people are naive to think that there is a solution within the current system of government.
IANAL but it would seem there are several laws that should be applied.
1) they complainant should have to show damages and free advertising isn't really damage.
2) If it's a public company the officers have to sign an agreement to act in the best interests of the share holders. This is clearly against their best interest.
Too bad the government works for big media. It won't change any time soon Obama or not.
Ya know if running Linux wasn't like ramming white hot pokers in your eyes then Microsoft might have some competition. It's not as polished as Windows (which is REALLY sad). It's like the little kid who's welfare mom told him that homemade clothes are more special than store bought..and all the other kids beat up.
Linux is just full of things that are more effort. On a superior OS things would be less effort and have fewer compatibility issues. OSes that have superior abilities but are irritating to install, cause incompatibility errors and won't run the software you want easily are a FAIL (i.e. the OS/2 losers) Installing drivers are a massive FAIL. Installing software is a massive FAIL.
The average user doesn't read dialog boxes..and you want them to read man pages..riiiight..keep holding your breath.
The media science behind Linux is simply wrong. It's a visual object in a tactile environment.
I have never met a Linux head that doesn't spend more time screwing around with their OS than actually doing productive work.
Just like all the OS/2 losers I'm going have people arguing every little point..I will laugh last because I heard it all before from arrogant OS/2 geeks.
I'm just wondering how many of you are going to hang on long after the party has ended like these losers http://www.os2world.com/
Yeah my OS sucks but I can get stuff done AND THAT'S WHERE THE CULTURE IS.
Yeah..I wonder if there is any way to make that code more closed? I have never seen uglier code than Lotus Domino. The people who built it really should not be allowed to use a computer.
They should dig a deep hole and drop the whole thing in it.
I am honestly happier that someone who would work for the Bush crew is no longer a threat to humanity. Hopefully after a good warcrimes trial they'll all be pushing up daisies. Won't happen but I can wish. I'm not going to shed any tears over bankers either. Frankly the world would be a better place without either group.
Every so often the interface should generate a dialog box that says: "Are you an idiot Y/N"
If the user consistently answers no then the dialog boxes disappear. If they just click yes on every box in front of them then the operating system trojanizes its self to save other people the effort.
The recording and movie industry have screwed us for as much as they can for decades. We have that kind of relationship thanks to them. It's now time for them to reap what they have sown. The only difference is that they own politicians so they get to make laws.
Every second these people are allowed to live is another denial of any true justice. These people should not be allowed to return to a life of luxury when so many people who actually worked for a living have lost everything they own.
I'd like to see these "men" marched out of the whitehouse forced to their knees and shot publicly. Anything less is a denial of justice.
I bet Obama pardons them all. "Money stands for money, the devil for his own" -Billy Bragg
Realisticly every agent participating in this harassment needs to be fired and banned from holding a government job.
I've had quite enough of ineffective pussyfoot solutions.
Gartner seems to be the king of talking out their ass for big money. Management should read the Emperor's New Clothes..it's practically the same scam. I have heard very few intelligent things come out of this brain trust. Still it's nice to know that someone is worse than slash dot for wild unsubstantiated speculation.
The really funny part is that most of the people supporting this crap claim to be christian. Now christian morality makes me sick to my stomach but didn't he supposedly say "Whatever you do to the least of these, you do to me."
The US can claim that it's the good guy in all this but the rest of the world stopped buying your bullshit a long time ago.
With the time pressure and stress doctors are under the fact that they CAN diagnose all kinds of issues is not the point. The real question is ARE they?
I'm an extreme case but I have had a lot of nasty misdiagnosed problems. The last time I nearly died from an infected appendix which is easily tested for. Rather than doing testing I got some exlax and told to go home. The doctor who I got a second opinion from (after making a big scene) said that I probably wouldn't have made it home. The best advice I can give is that a doctor is a healthcare tool. You and only you are responsible for your health care because the consequences fall on your shoulders.
I'm the last stop for escalated technical issues in my large company (Actually a health care company). The fact is that most of the issues I see could have been resolved prior to me and all the people who tried to resolve it could do the necessary tests to diagnose it. They miss stuff because they are overworked, training is not handled well, it's a depressing environment to work in and because some solutions are not politically feasible.
Doctors with all their schooling are generally of a slightly more professional attitude but it doesn't mean they are any less susceptible to the same pressures.
Part of it is because we have this false idea that someone who gets paid by a big corporation deserves more rights than someone who doesn't to report the news.
There should be no such thing as "Reporter" rights just individual rights. It is the government's sworn duty to uphold them and they should be impeached whenever they fail to do so.
The other side of the story is that bloggers generally are not trained to know where the line is drawn and how to push that boundary without crossing it.

I'll just move my assets to Northrend as an offshore tax haven.
Wow I can finally have all the advantages of IPv6 like
Until they run out of IPv4 addresses it really doesn't matter.
There are a few obscure tunneling applications to this but who cares.
I wish I had mod points.
That hits the nail on the head.

At least around here we know we'll always have enough virgins to throw in.
Nope no HPs...they are trying to force Iran to their knees by making them buy Lexmark.
It reminds me of those schools where no one gets grades because then the stupid kids get discouraged.

We should make a website full of all sorts of fun FBI/TLA activities for the kiddies.
Make a skype portal where you can illegally listen in to people's conversations.
A little mini game where you see how many pieces of the constitution you can wipe your ass with before your term runs out.
Another little mini game where you could try to shred as much paper as possible before the time runs out.

There was an unfortunate set back when the video driver crashed, turning the screen black and the entire dev team was eaten by a Grue.
Yup it's obvious to any reasonable scientific person that it's the corporate logo stamped on the pill that confers the magic powers.
If this isn't cruel animal testing I don't know what is.

When ever they start getting out of line start talking about the latest version of .Net
Fortunately java coders are a dime a dozen so you can always kill one and rub their blood on the cubicle walls to make the others fall in line.
You do know you can get all this done cheaper from an Indian company.
