  1. Re:!surprise on After Rick Perry's Stem Cell Treatment, Misplaced Enthusiasm? · · Score: 1

    Yes, Rick Perry is religiously extreme. If he went to Revered White's church, then he could at least claim to be a moderate.

    No - I am talking about the 4g. I had the wrong manufactor so my hope is shot, anyways.

    HTC locked down the bootloader right before I bought it. I assumed all the stuff you wrote above was still true when I purchased it, too.

    Woops - there goes that.

    Hopefully, they will unlock the Evo 4g and other older devices since Motorola seems to only be willing to unlock newer devices (and lock down the older devices right before releasing the newer devices.)

    It is also more costly for each individual.

    Most people I know can't afford to sue Walmart

    I did this for Fallout 3. I purchased it for the PS3 and then bought it for the PC after seeing all the mods.

    It really made it a more fun game.

    Counting the internet service against netflix only makes sense if you plan on dropping it if you don't have netflix.

    But Obama has not proven that he is that bright either and has had his share of "grafts" as well as 2 years to demonstrate that he is not the unifier he claimed to be.

    I never believed he was not born here, but would it had been that hard to have show his birth certificate 3 years ago? And the way he is withholding the pictures of bin laden (as well as deposing of the evidence/body) shows that he is either not smart or really likes to rile people up just for the hell of it.

    I am debating on the galaxy tab vs the nook color. The wifi only version is what I would want for the tab, but based on some reviews I read, the wifi version has lower specs than the 3g one.

    I mainly want it as a e-reader so I am leaning toward the nook. It is closer to my price range anyways (under 300.)

    Xoom is well out of my price range.

  22. Re:Beware of junk science on Arizona Governor Proposes Flab Tax · · Score: 0

    So the smokers pay for themselves and help pay for other people too. :)

    And yet they still get demonized. People are running out of places to smoke and smokes are costing so much that smokers will soon have to choose between food and smokes. (In San Antonio, a pack of Marlboro's are $6.00 They were $2.50 ten years ago and even cheaper when buying by the carton.) I am sure that we will just tax something else like we do cigarettes when enough people quit.

    I quit smoking a year ago and lost over 100 pound by eating less and exercising more. When we passed the new health care reform, I knew that jobs and government would go after the smokers and the obese first. (I honestly thought they would take longer to go after the obese but I knew it would come once they squeezed everything they could out of smokers.)

    This year my job added a "discount" if you are not a smoker or are in a smoking cessation program. Of course, the discounted cost is still more than last years rates. And as some kind of strange kickback to the democrats, for the first time ever, my job would not tell anyone what the new rates were until the middle of November (actually the day after the mid-term elections.) We normally got this type of info in October.

    Why not post it on a Usenet server? I always wonder the same about Linux distros as well.

    Is it because it is harder to track the number of downloads?
