"So thanks, Bush, for empowering the banks to further the exploitation of the American people"
You are thanking the wrong person for that...thank your liberal socialist leaders(Reid, Frank..etc..) and your candidate for president, Obama. They are the ones that forced banks to give mortgages to people that could not afford it. They were warned in the past, but chose to get rich on the kickbacks. Do you really think these folks want to give up their millions?
This reduction of the gas prices shows that the larger the gas supply becomes (whether through less use or the US starting to drill or at least threatining to drill) the lower the price falls. This also shows that your liberal socialist leaders are not only wrong but that they know they are wrong. They want the poor and uneducated to stay that way, so that they can continue to run campaigns of fear without substance.
You can come to these conclusions one of two ways; use your brain and go over everything Obama has said or elect him and see how many of his promises come true.
This country is on the verge of a crisis...and it begins with the election of Barack Obama.
...But you know Time-Warner is going think the the 95% will happily spend the 49.99 per month to check their e-mail and browse the web. The rest of us who want the unlimited bandwidth they promised but never actually provided (TW has capped the bandwidth since day one). They always said up to 100mbs but never let you have it...until they charged more...so now you can get 10mbs for a premium. They have screwed their customers too long. It is time to stand up folks!
Time Warner needs to be taught a lesson...dump their cable and internet service.
"Just about all other civilized nations who can afford it have some version of universal healthcare."
uhhh...then WTF is Medicaid, Medicare and CHIP?
Don't be fooled by your liberal leaders, they know it would be far simpler to just add some programs to the already existing Medicaid, CHIP, or etc then changing the whole system to a "Universal Healthcare". It would also allow them to make sure people who can easily afford private insurance don't get something for free(based on the posts here most of you would want the coupons regardless of your actual need, just like what would happen with a Universal Healthcare)...uhhh, yeah I am opposed to giving the coupons it is not governments responsibilty.
nor is healthcare.
As a IT person, you should KNOW that browsing with Firefox is more secure than browsing with IE. If I was IT at that school I would have already made the suggestion to switch to Firefox. Turning kids loose on a computer with IE as browser is inviting problems with malware and spyware. I think the story (if true) only shows the sad state of IT and computer instruction in our schools.
I face the same thing at my workplace, I use a USB drive with portable apps to do my browsing and e-mail...etc. Am I going against IT rules, you bet! I suspect that they are too ignorant to even realize what I am doing anyway. Why don't I work in IT? It doesn't pay as much as what I am doing. If they want to underpay the IT staff, then thats what they get, a under-performing system.
I work in a state government office (less details the better). We unfortunately have very poor IT.
Most of it is outsourced to someone else, but we still have some in house IT staff.
* IT problems must be run through the typical uneducated phone staff, who rummage through a notebook with common errors and solutions. Needless to say this just a delay in getting real help.
* I have Admin rights to my WinXP machine, as I suspect most of the workers here do as well.
* We have been infected statewide by viri on a couple occassions, and it seems most attacks originate within the main state office through e-mails and not with the majority of the peons out in the field.(that would be me).
* I have violated the IT polices since I started 9 years ago. I have done this to make my machine more secure. I run firefox with script block and adblock for all browsing (except for state online apps that will only accept IE.(we still use IE 6).
* I regulary run Spybot S&D(against IT policy) to remove anything that gets through.(which has been virtually reduced to nothing since I started using Firefox).
* I run firefox, thunderbird and other applications from a USB key to insure that damage will be contained and that my history (browsing/. and the like will not be known).
* I have found that e-mail will not allow sending of exe, com, bat and zip files, however, simply changing the extension will allow it to be sent. Yet they ban us from using webmail ( I do so anyway).
There is more things to list, but I need to get back to work...:p

Yeah, I was wondering why it took so long....I don't use Usenet.com...too expensive. Why didn't they go after a larger provider like Giganews? I believe my usenet provider is outside the US...would that protect a me? My provider states they don't log downloads...so I am thinking it is uploaders who will be watched.
Do these patents deal with how you display something or how you code the application to display something? I read some of the patent information and it only appears to cover the physical display not the underlying code?
Ahhh...but that's the beauty of the threat...they never will initiate the lawsuit, the publicity and the damage to linux is it's goal. Keep possible corporate users from going to linux.
Kinda of like saying you will impeach the president, but in reality there is no basis for the charge. It is the damage it does to the person that is the goal. Now to all you liberals on here who will start flaming me for this example, don't...you only will only prove that you are lazy sheep and only regurgitate what your leaders tell you to...
If kids are so smart and in touch these days...why can't they make change in their heads. I personally witnessed and young person struggling to give me change after a error in the electronic cash register. I already knew what my change should be after I saw the total purchase. Why didn't they? Old School learning is what you need to know when you don't have a calculator or computer to do the work for you. Kids these days equate using a computer to knowing how a computer works, which is laughable. Kids these days think everything is a gimmick...and think that if they say the right thing, look the right way or have gone to the right school that they are set for life regardless of your actual knowledge or ability to learn.
Get off my lawn! and get a real education you little brats!
Just using a computer is pretty freaking intimidating for the "average computer user" windows or not.
I think you need to define what is a "problem".
"its so easy to install programs on Windows that they practically do it themselves"
sure they can, but when it crashes they have no idea what to do.
The issue here is, that the majority of computer users have very little technical knowledge and would be helpless with any operating system when faced with an crash or blue screen...etc. Of course they can just reboot, that tends to fix some errors...but I bet the majority have no idea why.
The learning curve for linux is the same as windows, the user just has to try learning it. Most people start with windows with their hands held, they figure things out, they learn a few tricks and then assume they know all there is to know. They are reluctant to change and tend to rationalize why windows is better than linux.
not connected, is true... But those who tried to use this tactic in the past are the same ones using Global Warming today, read between the lines. Who has been lying to you?
Yup...Kerry didn't have the answer other than the truth(which he certainly would not tell)...which be that there was no credible reason to impeach Bush. That is why it is not being done, never was going to be done and if tried it would clearly show that it was a tactic to discredit, not actually address a crime.
The tazer was overkill...Kerry's offer to answer the question was too late (probably part of his "plannnnn...").

THe title says it all....essentially it has all the same features....duh
All the cheap Cox suckers using VOIP need to get a cell phone like everyone else...

The truth is in the words, not the speaker of the words.
Something to think about in this election year.

It shows how stupid and lazy college kids are today. It also shows the benefits of their liberal education...give up anything for a few bucks.
Not most famous, it is the most hyped. Redhat, Debian, Slackware and Gentoo could be called famous...sorry Ubuntu doesn't quite fit that title.

Aim for the head....that always seems to work.
I do recognize several of the glitches/errors you mentioned. I hope you sent that to the GIMP developers...cause it isn't gonna do much good here.
oh yeah...vote Demo.....errr...socialist! That is the way to freedom.
"Teach the test" is the new mantra...liberalism in action.
My best lessons in life were failures...I think there are a bunch of kids that really need to learn this...
thank you I will check that out....i used tv-links.co.uk quite often when nothing was on cable :(
It's not Google you should be worrying about...it is insurance companies getting the information.
Yeah, I was wondering why it took so long ....I don't use Usenet.com...too expensive. Why didn't they go after a larger provider like Giganews?
