    You know about Arron's having installed stealth keylogger software on the computers, right? And they'll even surreptitiously take pictures of you if your laptop has a Webcam. If yours has a Webcam, I'd sure put a piece of masking tape over it. :D Suit against PC renter raises privacy questions...

    Navy SEAL honored with warship bearing his name

    There were several bad decisions made, obviously, but the first one was taking a SEAL team into the mountains with no rope. The biggest one was deciding to be constrained within the false dichotomy of black/white, kill or be killed, kill the goat herders or let them go, rather than explore and...

    Navy SEAL honored with warship bearing his name

    Well, considering the fact that the situation was laid out pretty well in detail in the article provided by the link, unless you are talking about some other situation that I cannot fathom, and since I saw no reason in mentioning again those details outlined in the article, why would you suggest...

    Verizon 4G ... not so fast neighbor!

    I've got a 4G aircard, the the LG one. I haven't been in 4G areas much, but when I have it just screams. I've only been in a fringe area once, and didn't have any problems, but that was several weeks ago. Waiting on my phone's contract to run out before I upgrade to a 4G phone.

    Navy SEAL honored with warship bearing his name

    Again, considering I have no idea what you are talking about, it's a bit unfair of you to try and level some sort of nondescript and veiled scolding about what I wrote. That says a lot about you, actually. Which situation are you referring to? Like I said, if you think it's important, then it...

    Navy SEAL honored with warship bearing his name

    I can't read your mind and I have no idea what you are talking about. Luttrell mentions four specific "situations" they had to deal with during that ordeal, and there are probably a dozen more, militarily, ethically and morally, which can be construed. Which one are you talking about? If you...

    Navy SEAL honored with warship bearing his name

    OK, I'm not. Happy now? No, I didn't forget to mention why they were there. I saw no reason to, since it's outlined pretty well all over the Web. They were in that situation because they were given a recon mission that took place on top of that mountain. That's really irrelevant to the decisions...

    Ready To Pay More For The Privilige of Driving?

    First, the miles-driven tax won't be in addition to the gallon tax, it will replace it. Second, do you have any idea how many thing LaHood and the Transportation Department "looks" at but doesn't implement? It's just a snotload. Just because they're looking at something, studying it and...

    Obama Meets With The 911 Families....

    I'd have turned around and walked away, too. This was not the time or the place for a confrontation with the President about the Attorney General. What was this woman thinking? Aside from that, she wants to know why Obama isn't influencing the Attorney General, even though she knows he isn't...

    I Love How Stupid The Birthers Look

    Yes, I did notice that. And yes, I can define it. And once again yes, I know who defined it. You're assuming, even after having been told that I've done plenty of research, that I haven't done any research. This isn't a question of not wanting to do the homework, it's a question of me doing it...

    Navy SEAL honored with warship bearing his name

    So, the leader of this SEAL team makes a really bad decision resulting in total failure of the mission, and gets himself and his entire team, save one, killed. Not only that, the phone call he made while being killed resulted in 16 other special forces personnel being killed, the largest...

    Bleeding Hearts Speak Out

    Considering the mission was a straight-up assassination, carried out by Navy SEALs, they're right, it was an unfair fight. But then again, these are the same people who want to provide firearms to deer and rabbits for the same reason.

    I Love How Stupid The Birthers Look

    Nothing is wrong for wanting to see his birth certificate. He provided it when he first ran for Congress, and again before he ran for President. What's WRONG is that people on the far right think Obama was born anywhere but here, and people on the far left think he was born in a manger...

    I Love How Stupid The Birthers Look

    If that baby is declared to be a natural born citizen, yes. I didn't read intent, I read the actual law. Logic has nothing to do with it. True enough, "citizen" does not mean "natural-born", as not all citizens are natural-born. But all natural-born citizens are, in fact, citizens. As far as...

    I Love How Stupid The Birthers Look

    Actually, your records can be hidden, same as his. It all depends on what you want to allow to be out there. As for Web sites, there are Web sites which have information on where Obama lives, and how much he makes, and so forth. So, guilty until proven innocent? Is that what we're doing now? If...

    Using Hair for a drug test

    "Are you now, or have you ever illegally used a controlled substance?" Really? Is that how it works now? You smoked a joint when you were 19, and we've just now found out about it, doesn't matter that you're 61, you're going to jail, you druggie, you. Anyone in here ever taken a prescription...

    Obama didn't get any foreign aid at all for college. The junk mails and Web sites asserting this have long ago been debunked. Incidentally, the dateline of the AP "news" story was April 1, 2009, a.k.a. April Fools Day.
