bet you this lovely fellow who is pro life is also pro war.....most who hold his opinions feel the life of a fetus must be protected but the lives of those who have been born...not so much.
a few studies I have seen show how "child proof" really means "adult proof"
hell, years back when they started making those child proof lighters.....a woman I worked with couldnt get her lighter working, her 7yo daughter use to light her smokes for her....
thankfully she quit smoking eventually because I really think it was teaching her daughter a bad lesson about smoking.
um, dude, this pretty much covers apples whole history, take something somebody else already did, slap some new paint on it, do a little idiot proofing, charge to much and say you innovated it.
not really any better now, look how many people are getting prococuted for whistle blowing by obama, look how many people they have sent thugs to threaten...
I hated bush, but....obama sadly isnt any better...
and if romney wins, same shit different day...
the more I look at our political system the more I realise that what we got is a system where we are encouraged to vote for one arsehole or another, based on colour, smell and texture....and no matter who gets voted in, we all should know, we are going to get shat on....
whats wrong with C# or .net anyway.....works on the bulk of computers out there, far better then most c i have seen thats poorly or totally un-remarked/documented, dont get me started trying to help debug some server software...
that said, the code made me laugh....lol(im not a coder, but I have helped track down and fix bugs in alot of software for friends who are, and about 1/2 of them dont like .net simply because its MS, on the other hand they all like .net better then using java.....(lol?)
been there, done that, infact, I once reported some 26 or so errors in a test I was given, as well as reporting flaws in the information given in their learning materials.
the major issue was that some idiot had basically copied an NT4 manual over to 2k with very little changed, then done the same to xp, some of the stuff they mentioned working and how it worked.....didnt work at all anymore or had been replaced with another method under xp....yet i was expected to give the wrong answers to pass the test.
I have also been passed over for jobs due to lack of certs/degrees, then called in to clean up with the new collage grad they hired did...
best one was a firm that had a rack of servers for a very specific application/use, the servers where effectively just overly complicated database servers running on active directory, nothing to complicated....
they also had a server that managed their internet and internal email system.....the idiot kid they hired, who I later found out had admitted he wasnt qualified for the job had taken an idiots guide book and copied the "optimal" settings(see: examples)from from the book to the production servers WITHOUT RUNNING A BACKUP.....or even writing down the proper info....
they called me to fix it, it took close to a week to get it all fullyfuntional again due to all the little shit he "optimized", they offered me the job after paying me to fix the issues, i told them to "get stuffed" and made it clear i didnt want to work for people as stupid as they where.....
I had the references, I had the skill and experience for the job.....but they hired a dumbass kid who admitted he had ZERO practical knowledge and was just looking for a position where he could learn and gain skill.
1. it dosnt take the kind of money EA or any of the major publishers dump into a game to make a good/amazing game, look at for example dungeon defenders, its not an AAA but its a blast.....one hell of alot of fun.....and is getting FAR better support then anything EA has put out in years.
2. this thinking is why so many titles fail... look up the game jamestown, after steam sales the game eventually became self perpetuating at full price.....despite the deep discount it was up for during steam sales.
hey now, 4kids sucked, but there are plenty of good anime translations that arent edited, just avoid those companies most prone to ruin anime....4kids would be top of that list.
come on now.....dont insult burger flippers, I did that for a few years, and even the worst of the "mentally disabled" hires we had where smarter then these.....people...
neither side is there to do the job they where voted into office to do, they are there to enrich themselves by helping to further enrich the wealthy corporations of this great nation(the Incorporated States of America)
it dosnt matter what party they claim to be part of, their actions speak quite clearly to the fact that they dont give a flying fuck whats best for the nation, only whats best for the wealthy and big business matter...because who else is going to fund their next re-election campaign?
if you want to know who they really work for, check open secretes for who donated the most to their latest runs for office....
look at that image, gives you an idea why I have decided I wont be voting for any of them, I mean, Its not like our vote really matters, the electoral collage picks the pres not the people, what more proof do you need then the bush/gore election?
So, I will vote based on who i have the least distaste for even if its not one of the top 2....
of like Activision titles at full price with drm built in.....
this is where EA has been failing hard with the last couple BF games, neither can be moded, Neither allow you to run your own servers.....all because they are more worried about piracy then sales numbers.

Re: pro-competition anti-monopoly benefits
cable with comcast/timewarner/heus/charter
DSL from quest/att/exct
dialup: why list dialup providers....dialup sucks
the problem is that in most markets all of your choices will be part of this.
you are very unlikely to get more then 1 cable and 1 dsl provider in your area, just so you know...
its sad. but its what the govt of the Incorporated States of America supports....we love our market monopolies...
