Amen, I have been saying that for years, but it would never happen. It wouldn't allow crooked politicians the ability to get things passed that would never pass on their own merit.
Good copies of money can be used the same as real money unless you get caught. Just like good copies of music can be used the same as the originals unless you get caught, so the analogy is the same!
I was just going to say the same thing. What do people who have both X and Y chromosomes have to do with anything. Let me guess this was an instance of auto-correct gone wrong.
I think that you are thinking too "Mission Impossible" here where the agent rolls under the car at a stop light and puts a magnetized tracker on the underside of the car. These devices are actually hard wired into the vehicles battery system so that they charge when the vehicle is on. The FBI wouldn't waste time tracking someone with a battery powered device that would go dead and then they would have to find them again to plant a new device.
GPS tracking devices are radio controlled. The device still has power when it is "off" only the Global Positioning transmitter is off and it can be turned back on at any point by sending a command to the device. In layman's terms it is kind of like a cellular "phone" which is technically a radio. Even when your ringer is off you can still receive calls you just can't hear them in which case they go to voice mail (by default), or any other number/service you have decided to reprogram the device to send to.
No, Bush is actually an English Sir Name. German Sir Names commonly end in things like Berg or Berger for example Schamberger (My Grandmothers maiden name), Schamberg, or Hammerberg. Also, a lot of German-Americans shortened their names to just Berg or Berger to try and disassociate themselves with the Nazi's. Just FYI.
This is the reason that Google purchased Motorola, because Motorola owns a crap-load (yes that's a technical term) of old generic patents that can be applied to almost anything in the mobile industry. Google has gotten tired of being the guy, with no patents, getting kicked by Apple and Microsoft. I for one am glad to see Google doing the kicking for once! At least Google finally got Linux on the map even if it is a Mobile OS! So I say "Hoorah, Google and Keep Kicking!"
Ok, now I see why my previous comment was removed. This guy is very good and he has a great book called JavaScript: The Good Parts. I highly recommend it!
Actually, I work in a lab that programs, tests, and services phones on all four carriers. You are absolutely correct in your statement! Sprint and Verizon both were using CDMA for that reason. Verizon has now switched to LTE for quite a bit of it's network but Sprint is still using a combination of CDMA and WiMax. While AT&T and T-Mobile were using GSM but have now mostly switched to HSDPA(HSPA+) and LTE respectively.
What most people don't realize is that none of the technologies that are currently out can truly be called 4G! Unlike 3G, there is no specific standard for what is considered 4G service yet. The industry is saying that these specifications are in development, but right now 4G is more of a gimmick to get consumers to buy the latest and greatest thing! 2G service came out around 1995, 3G came out around 2005. Mobile infrastructures, in the USA at least, seem to be on a ten year cycle. With that said there most likely will not be a "4G standard" till around 2015. Sprint actually has the most right to call it's network 4G, not because of speed, but because it is the 4th generation of it's network.

There are a lot of people peering in on the United States and waiting for the giant to fall but what most people seem to forget is that the United States is the come-back king! We have always fought our way out of tough situations and come back stronger than we started. It has been in the soul of our nation from the beginning when we fought for our independence in the revolutionary war, braved our way out of the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, The Cold War, Many Droughts, Pearl Harbor, September 11 and the list goes on. A lot of people want to bring up the National Debt when I talk about this and my response is as follows:
As of last June the biggest holder of Treasury debt was the U.S. government itself, with about 52 percent of the total debt. Most of the government’s holdings are massive savings accounts for programs like Social Security and Medicare. See the following article for more information.

I'm the good guy here. I told them this could happen if they didn't prepare. Did I get a "Thank you"?
They have been warned now we are all going to pay for their ignorance!
Ok all of this is pointless because nothing is perfect and eventually the helium will leak out and at our current rate of consumption we are going to run out of helium within our life-times so...........bad idea, not going to work, move on.
I have a t-mobile unlimited plan and I use a ton of data and they never throttle me so fu at&terrible I hope that your deal with t-mobile falls through because you suck!
It looks like they will continue maintaining SUSE according to their website http://www.attachmategroup.com/ . It also looks like they are going to continue using the Novell name. Both the Suse and Novell logos are on their site.
Yeah me too! I own a black wii but the graphics are definitely obnoxious on my 60" in the basement. I was playing COD the other night and after a while I started to get a headache due to the poor graphic quality.
Skynet has changed their name to Telesat
http://www.skynet.com/
So we no longer need to worry about Skynet we need to worry about Telesat. Note they are already building a communications network that will be used to triangulate human locations and transmit them to Terminators with orders for extermination.
Everybody run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AT&Terrible has always sucked! This just goes to demonstrait how much they suck! I am mad as he|_|_ that they are trying to buy t-mobile. I left AT&T for t-mobile because of their terrible pricing and customer service. T-Mobile has competive pricing and the highest customer service rating in the industry hands down. If they succeed in purchasing T-Mobile I will leave and I can assure them that a lot of the customers like me will. T-Mobile's unlimited plan that includes every phone (land lines and cellular), data and text is only $90 a month in my area which is a little more than Sprint but it includes landlines. I know that plan will all go away if AT&T gets their way and that should not be allowed. It clearly will stiffle competition!
I agree we should defend our borders and there is no reason for anyone to be crossing them illegally and if they do so it is at their own risk. We should put land-mines and/or snipers anywhere that is not part of the legal crossing with warnings that lethal force is authorized and will be used upon anyone crossing the border illegally. These people are obviously criminals and should not be allowed to come into our country.
The only problem is that our government is using the illegals to support the collapsing Social Security system right now so they don't want to keep them out. Think about all of the money that is being paid into the system by illegals that are paying social security tax using dead people's social security numbers. My girlfriend runs and apartment complex and she turns down illegals all the time because they give her social security numbers from deceased individuals when verifying employment and other requirements for renting apartments.
is the only thing I refuse to shell money out for. I actually just built a new gaming machine with a AMD Phenom II X6 1090T processor, 8GB of RAM, 1TB hard-drive, GeForce GTX 590 Video Card, HP w2207h monitor, and MS Ergonomic Keyboard 4000. Notice there was no mouse in the list and that is because my Logitech M305 does the job. It gets my mouse pointer where I want it. I don't give a flying rat's butt about two optical sensors or multiple buttons. I have macros that I can use for what extra buttons would do and as long as my pointer goes where I tell it who cares how it gets there.

No, actually you are incorrect. I work in a cellular and gps lab and all location devices are programmed with a "off switch" for the transmitter.

That's called a luxury tax and it already exists when you buy a luxury vehicle like a Roush Mustang!
if this is the same technology google has been using in their self driving Prius fleet cars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXeUu_Y6WOw

I for one am glad I live in KC, KS and we are going to have google fiber soon. Bring on the streaming everything BOOYA!
