"It's as if Richard Blumenthal thinks that everyone out there is incredibly dumb and believes the world works as he says it does, rather than how it actually works."
But people *ARE* dumb. There are many, many people out there that don't know how legitimate and constructive debate works, and they are guided solely by how they FEEEEEL about something. You only have to play to their emotions to get action, which is something Blumenthal does well.
Most people don't want constructive debate. They want to feel good about themselves and they want to feel like someone is taking action. They want to feel like someone has stood up and said something for them. And Blumenthal does. He says plenty. He just doesn't address the facts. But that doesn't matter to most people. As long as they feel good and righteous, everything's okay.
John-- thanks for this. It's true that Silverlight is spreading like wildfire. Here's the reason you don't hear much about it:
It works.
It's installed with your windows updates, kept up to date with your windows updates, doesn't crash a hell of a lot (FAR more frequenly than flash, for me) and does a lot of things. Far more than just video.
It's being ported to other operating systems (even if not necessarily as actual Silverlight) and has a heavy following in many places.
For a Microsoft product, it has a hell of a lot going for it, people love to develop with it, and some big companies (again, Netflix) are picking it up as their preferred delivery platform.
Anyway.. glad to see that someone else out there sees what is really going on with silverlight. :)
I saw the other day, and I tried to find it, but I couldn't... a guy playing the FLUTE while driving a car down the freeway. Seriously.
That's something I haven't ever seen before.
But I have seen reading a book and reading a newspaper in person, and of course the application of makeup, shaving and doing the hair are the popular 3 that I see all the time to the point that it is almost ordinary.
That is a fine point. In fact, where I work, it has gotten to the point that supervisors remind you that in this economy, there are a lot of people looking for jobs. They remind you that it may behoove you to straighten up and fly right. They remind you that you should do what they ask-- on or off the clock.
It is interesting to me because once the economy gets back on track, I think the company I work for is going to be a ghost town.
Mike... feel free to delete this if it puts YOU at risk... but here's what I think of AP trying to pull this shit...
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Gaza's Hamas rulers on Tuesday said they have reached a long-awaited cease-fire with Israel meant to end months of Palestinian assaults on Israeli border towns and bruising Israeli retaliation.
The announcement came shortly after Egypt, which has been trying to broker the truce for months, said the cease-fire would go into effect on Thursday. Israel refused to confirm a deal, but said a "new reality" would take hold if Palestinian attacks end.
In a last-minute jolt, Israeli aircraft attacked three targets in the southern Gaza Strip. One of the airstrikes destroyed a car, killing six militants inside.
A large crowd gathered around the car's smoldering remains, and a puddle of blood was visible on the asphalt. Gaza militants then fired four mortar shells at Israel, the first of the day, the military said. No one was hurt.
Hamas officials accused Israel of trying to undermine the truce, but said they would not let the violence derail the Egyptian efforts.
"We are going to commit ourselves to the start time that Egypt is going to declare regarding the calm," said Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri. However, the group's television station said the movement would respond to "any Zionist aggression," underscoring the delicate situation.
Egypt's powerful intelligence chief, Omar Suleiman, has been meeting separately with Israeli and Hamas officials for months in hopes of brokering a truce.
Israel has been seeking a halt to rocket attacks launched from Gaza nearly every day, an end to Hamas' weapons buildup, and the release of an Israeli soldier held by Hamas for two years.
Hamas, meanwhile, wants an end to Israel's military activity in Gaza and the lifting of an Israeli blockade that has caused widespread destitution in the already impoverished coastal strip.
In Washington, the State Department declined to confirm reports of a truce, but said it was supportive of efforts to bring calm to Gaza and southern Israel while insisting that Hamas remained a terrorist organization.
"We believe that establishing calm in Gaza and elsewhere is a good thing and we're supportive of Egyptian efforts and other efforts to achieve this," deputy spokesman Tom Casey told reporters.
"But saying you have a loaded gun to my head but you are not going to fire it today is far different than taking the gun down, locking it up and saying you're not going to use it again," he said. "Even if this is in fact a true report, it hardly takes Hamas out of the terrorism business."
The state-run Egyptian news agency MENA cited an unidentified high-level Egyptian official as saying both sides "have agreed on the first phase" of an Egyptian-mediated package to end the violence in Gaza.
It said the first phase would be a "mutual and simultaneous calm" in the Gaza Strip beginning at 6 a.m. Thursday.
An Egyptian official told The Associated Press that if the area is quiet for three days, Israel would begin to open Gaza's border crossings to let more humanitarian supplies into the area. A week later, Israel would allow in additional goods.
The official said in a final phase Israel would consider reopening Gaza's border crossing with Egypt. The Rafah crossing is the main route for Gaza's 1.4 million people to leave the area. Israel and Egypt closed the crossing in June 2007 after Hamas violently seized control of Gaza, a move that has confined the vast majority of Gazans inside the coastal strip for the past year.
The deal is meant to last for six months, he said, and includes the possibility of extending a truce to the West Bank, where Israeli regularly conducts arrest raids targeting militants.
A Hamas official said the Rafah deal would be connected to the release of the Israeli soldier, Cpl. Gilad Schalit, who was captured by Palestinian militants in a cross-border raid two years ago. Israel has balked at Hamas' demand for a release of hundreds of militants held in Israeli jails.
The Egyptian and Hamas official both spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not permitted to go on the record with the information.
Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev would not confirm or deny a deal.
"What is important is not only words but deeds. If there is a total absence of terror attacks from Gaza into Israel and if there is an end to arms buildup in Gaza Strip and movement on the hostage Gilad Schalit that will indeed be a new reality."
A Hamas official said talks on Schalit would begin after the initial three days of quiet. Israeli defense officials said they expect negotiations on the soldier to begin on Sunday, an apparent confirmation of the truce's conditions.
Israel's chief negotiator, Amos Gilad, was suddenly dispatched Tuesday evening to Egypt.
Hamas has ruled Gaza with an iron fist, and the cease-fire is expected to include other Palestinian groups. Khaled al-Batch of the Islamic Jihad, a small Iranian-backed group responsible for much of the rocket fire, said his faction would be "committed to this calm as much as the occupation is committed."
Gaza militants have been bombarding southern Israel with rockets and mortars for seven years. The rate of fire increased after Israel pulled its troops and settlers out of Gaza in 2005 and stepped up further last year after Hamas wrested power from forces loyal to moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Israel has responded with pinpoint air and ground attacks that have killed hundreds of Palestinians, many of them civilians. It has also imposed a strict blockade on Gaza, letting in only limited amounts of humanitarian aid, restricting fuel supplies and widening already rampant unemployment. Ending the economic sanctions by opening Gaza's crossings with Israel and Egypt has been a major Hamas demand in the cease-fire talks.
Although the Rafah crossing lies on the Gaza-Egypt border, Europeans monitoring the passage require Israeli security clearance to operate. That clearance has not been given since Hamas took over Gaza.
Much skepticism has surrounded the talks, and not only because past accords — most recently, a November 2006 deal — have broken down fairly quickly.
Israel is suspicious of Hamas' motives, especially since the militant group has declared it would take advantage of any lull to rearm. Israel also is reluctant to legitimize Hamas' rule in Gaza through a truce agreement. Hamas rejects the existence of a Jewish state and has killed more than 250 Israelis in suicide bombings.
But with the Israeli government under heavy domestic pressure to halt the rocket fire, the choices were a truce or a broad invasion of Gaza.
Israel has been reluctant to launch an offensive in Gaza, fearing heavy casualties in the crowded urban environment.
I worked for an NPR station as a manager. The Grateful Dead label actually puts out a CD once a week called "The Grateful Dead Hour" and you have to PURCHASE these CDs if you want to play more than a couple GD tracks in an hour of music.
One thing I CAN tell you is that the people ARE a bunch of pompous bitches and they'll demand just about anything, and sue you if you don't follow what they say.
I'm not saying their lawsuits had any merit-- but-- they will sue you.
So-- our station had 100's of these CDs and decided we didn't want to buy any more of them, so we didn't buy any more and started playing the old ones.
The label contacted a local lawyer and filed a lawsuit, specifying that our radio station couldn't play any GD music without a specific license from them.
They believed that our previous fees as well as ASCAP, etc, etc didn't cover GD music, even though they belonged to ASCAP and BMI.
Anyway... we wiped our asses with their lawsuit.
Something tells me Jerry is rolling in his grave. I won't listen to the Dead anymore. I quit listening to Metallica, too. Won't even listen on the radio if they happen to come on. Fuck 'em.
CB radios do not cause harmful interference-- MISUSE of CB radios (and any amateur RF device) causes harmful interference.
To that extent, use of a properly grounded and functioning radio (CB, Amateur) causing interference is actually lawfully your problem and not the problem of the operator.
That isn't to say that you haven't had your share of experiences-- but likely it was not a properly functioning radio to begin with.
As an amateur radio operator, my rig MUST follow guidelines. If it does, and is properly grounded and tuned-- then the obligation is upon you to fix your TV interference.
It my rig isn't tuned or properly grounded, I can be fined and even face suspension of my license... not something I want to have happen.
I don't know where you're getting your information, but Democrats are neither stupid nor lazy. In all of my experience, it's the Republicans that get "fed" their information by Fox News, Rush, etc.. and rarely care to do any of their own investigation to find out what is REALLY going on in the world.
I can smell a Republican like a fart in a car, because all of their rhetoric sounds exactly the same. They're told what to say by Bill O'Reilly, Rush, Fox News and all of the other spinmasters out there.
This article wasn't about Democrats / Republicans... but somehow there's always "That Guy" (you) who turns it into a divisional battle along party lines.
Wasn't it the BUSH administration.... the person "in power" now that wanted to inspect ALL internet traffic looking for 'terrrists'? You need clarity. If ever you decide you want to think for yourself and get the facts, let me know. I'll be more than happy to show you where the real power and liberty is in this country. You make it for yourself.
Read the document. It's well worth it. The difference between Obama's plans and Clinton's plans are vast. http://thomas.loc.gov is a good place to start. You can see the bills both have introduced, compare their bills... often both he and she would introduce similar bills-- but his would be tough... hardline. He wanted RESULTS and not some symbolism. He has a lot of supporters and co-writers to his bills where Clinton often has none.
Don't get me wrong... Clinton isn't BAD... she's just not THE candidate. As far as I am concerned, out of EVERYONE that is running-- the only one that has actually worked for CHANGE-- is Obama. He's proven it time and time again.
Getting bills passed is tough. And even though some of his bills didn't make it, you only have to look at them to notice that he wants (and has wanted) real change for a long time, and has worked for it long before he was a candidate.
It's easy to parrot something you've heard someone else say or something you read somewhere else or whatever... but when you take the time to sit down and go over their voting habits and look over the bills they have written, one candidate truly starts to shine. And that's why I support Obama.
You should really look at the "Blueprint for Change" before saying that he has no substance or specifics. Most everyone that claims that he has no substance or specifics is parroting the Hillary or Republican party line-- and has never heard of the Blueprint before.
Maybe I'm just old and crotchety... but I have always hated the "social networking" sites with a passion. MySpace started bad, and has always been bad. Just the mention of it sends shivers down my spine. I think of MySpace users as the "AOL" users of yesteryear.
Facebook used to be better. You GENERALLY had people on there with some education... as long as I had my .edu address as an Alumni of my university, I got to stay a Facebook member. When they lifted the restriction, things went downhill very very very quickly. I got a bad taste in my mouth that was very similar to MySpace. I closed my FaceBook account very immediately.
I wouldn't miss either of them if they closed up shop tomorrow.
This will likely be LITERALLY laughed out of court.
Remember when Al Franken wrote the book "Lies and the Lying Liars who tell them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right" With "Fair and Balanced" being a DIRECT--- DI-RECT 'ripoff' of Fox News' tagline "Fair and Balanced"... The court was in session all of about 5 minutes when the judge LITERALLY laughed the case out of court.
Parody and Satire are protected speech in this country as of the moment. If I were those kids, I'd countersue A&P for defamation and the firing and lost wages associated, legal fees, and tax, title and registration just to make sure.
And the only reason to REALLY countersue... is for the parody and satire effect. ;)
