The killer is the week turnaround. Cell phones and PDAs are devices of convenience; NOT having your contact list/browser history/files/music for a week is going to be the pain. Imagine sending your computer in to the shop for a week, and not having all your data available to use.
When the battery in my LG V started to die, I walked in to the local Verizon store, plunked down $40, and in 5 minutes was up and going again. No need for a 7 day turn...
Those are objective facts. Your failure to pay any attention is exactly that. Your failure.
Sources? I see these claims often, but haven't seen them actually backed up with hard facts and findings of Courts. Wishing it were so does not make it so.
And in fact, please re-read the statements by the Administration - AND the official resolution from the US Congress and the UN regarding the continuation of the war (yes, the Gulf War wasn't over; there was a cease fire, the terms of which were repeatedly and continually violated by Saddam's government).
If you'd like to discuss rationally and without vitriol, great. If you'd like to continue hurling invectives and insults, I'm out...
No, because there is zero evidence of treason, mass murder, theft, and massive assaults on the Constitution. An objective, critical eye would recognize that.
Those with a political axe to grind, however, will see what they want to see. The hallmark of such individuals being an outright dismissal of anyone who disagrees with them...
if you take the time to look around for affordable health insurance. I'm 39, self-employed, high BMI, family history of cancer, and pay $93/month for health insurance. Less than most people pay for their monthly lattes and coffees.
You can get affordable health insurance - with the ability to go to ANY doctor - if you look for it. Too many in society just expect it to handed to them, or refuse to actually do some basic research. In my case, it meant calling an insurance broker out of the Yellow Pages, and talking for 5 minutes.
Affordable health insurance is available if you just look for it. Given that - worst case, after maximum deductibles - I'm responsible for $3500/year. About half the UK average. And I don't have to wait to see a doctor, don't have to deal with queues, get to choose - and stick with - my doctor, and have a very affordable copay.
My last contract gig offered health insurance; I was shocked how many of my fellow contractors took it! By turning down the insurance, I was able to negotiate for an extra $4/hour, which means that AFTER I paid for my own health insurance, I'm still up $550/month in income...
And you define what is in the best interests of the nation? The vote happens allowing people to change out their leadership; however nothing that has happened by the Bush administration qualifies as treason. Please read the Cornell link to the ACTUAL DEFINITION of treason.
It's not treasonous to implement a policy you don't agree with; it IS treasonous to encourage members of the military to go AWOL, or to interfere with the supply and operations of the military. The actual LAW is pretty clear.
But I guess this isn't a nation of laws? If you don't feel it's right, it's not right?
You might want to read what qualifies as treason. The false outing of covert (per IIPA) agent - which was never tried or charged by the prosecution, and in fact the revealing of the information publicly was admitted by Dick Armitage - is not treason.
Encouraging people to leave the military, ignore orders, or interfere with the operation of the military (such as what Speaker Pelosi and Representative Murtha put forth many times in speeches about their approach to funding of the war) is treason.
Actually, Libby was convicted of perjury to the grand jury, and specifically NOT found guilty of the exact same charge when talking to the FBI. Essentially what he said to the grand jury was the crime, and saying the same thing to the FBI - while under oath - was not.
Just wait... Someone will point out that if the bombing plots had just used an iPhone then it would have been 10X easier to actually complete their plan...
Vote fraud happens BEFORE the votes are even cast. Illegal/fraudulent registrations, hundreds or thousands of overvotes, multiple mail-in ballots from the same person.
The polling machine is immaterial; the fraud that REALLY happens, and is the biggest problem happens BEFORE election day. Registration fraud is what everyone should worry about. If you can game the registration system, then you can cast as many votes as you want for your chosen candidate.
Trying to catch voter fraud at the polling booth is a waste of time; it's too late. What we need is a great way of scrubbing the voter registration lists, and then "firewalling" those against illegal registrations.
Or just an elections department that wants the vote to go a specific way. Witness all the nightmares at King County Elections here in Washington State...
Don't blame Samsung, blame your carrier. In China, the hot phones are the Samsung Anycall (SCH) series, and the kids who buy them use Bluetooth to swap songs all the time. It's most likely your carrier locking down the option (like some who force WiFi to NOT work as a phone link).
Let me fix that... The HTC Touch Flo works REALLY well, is available now, runs Windows Mobile (so automatic syncing with Exchange and its calendar), handles MMS, Bluetooth, and just about everything else the iPhone's being knocked for not having.
Already here. And it works REALLY well... These phones can be found for sale in several of the electronics malls here in Shanghai, and I'm sure in most of Asia.
You set up a SINGLE SERVER out of the country, say Sweden, Norway, Canada. You feed a SINGLE STREAM to that server. So you pay royalties on that single stream.
Now, that server just happens to mirror out to a few thousand listeners. But it's a different server, not you the Internet Radio Station. You're streaming just a single stream...
Potential here? I could see relocating a few big boxes and a few fat pipes out of the US just for such a purpose. Could be a lucrative little business. Kind of like Akamai for audio streams...
A better question may be does Congress even have the authority to subpoena the Executive branch. What little case law there is - US versus Nixon, for instance - pretty much comes down on the side of the Executive branch, not Congress.
Congress can issue a subpoena of the President or his staff, but it is at the President's discretion to answer the subpoena.
President Clinton was using OBL and Al Qaeda as a Wag The Dog... You don't need to look any further than the testimony - under oath - of President Clinton's Terror Czar Richard Clarke:
GORTON: Now, since my yellow light is on, at this point my final question will be this: Assuming that the recommendations that you made on January 25th of 2001, based on Delenda, based on Blue Sky, including aid to the Northern Alliance, which had been an agenda item at this point for two and a half years without any action, assuming that there had been more Predator reconnaissance missions, assuming that that had all been adopted say on January 26th, year 2001, is there the remotest chance that it would have prevented 9/11?
CLARKE: No.
Summary: the plans that the Clinton Administration had, and the information they prepared and left for the incoming Administration were completely ineffectual in stopping 9/11. The plans laid, the agenda items not acted on, the information acquired by the Clinton Adminstration would have done NOTHING to stop 9/11, per the Clinton Administration's person in charge of such things.
the administration fought it all the way to the Supreme Court, finally winning at that level, and was then challenged again in a different jurisdiction, where a an appeals court deemed Padilla's indefinite detention lawful...There is no bloody way that's constitutional
Excuse me, but if the Supreme Court ruled it was lawful, the it is EXPLICITLY CONSTITUTIONAL. The fact that the Supreme Court ruled on it makes it Constitutionally correct, for that is what those 9 judges do. They weigh cases on the merits of Constitutionality. Having a second appeals also found in favor of the administration further highlights the Constitutionality of their actions.
You may not like the rulings, but inherently they grants Constitutionality to the actions you're railing against. That is the role of the judiciary, to determine the Constitutionality of laws and actions of the other two branches of government. Given that it's been found so twice - and once by the highest Court of the land - means the administration is on pretty solid ground here.

So essentially anyone who disagrees with you is a priori an idiot or insane. How very enlightened of you!

And of course Libby wasn't found guilty of leaking information...
Encouraging people to leave the military, ignore orders, or interfere with the operation of the military (such as what Speaker Pelosi and Representative Murtha put forth many times in speeches about their approach to funding of the war) is treason.
At the very least, I'd consider removing and destroying classified documents much more of a treasonous activity than perjury to a grand jury (what Libby was convicted of).
