    Gps warning: Don't buy magellan

    If you buy one that's old, the update will be free. They do firmware updates for free, regardless. The map updates, it's best to buy the lifetime thing on that.

    Texas court to rule on death penalty constitutionality

    You're awfully sensitive. I didn't call you anything. I merely handed out free advice. You can replace "idiot" with any descriptive adjective you like, and the advice still holds true. None of that changes the fact that it was YOU who brought me into this thread. Trying to turn the whole...

    Has release of Wikileaks documents cost lives?

    Perhaps a subtle difference, that's not quite what he said. While the wording differences are minor, there is a chasm of difference between "in any harm whatsoever," and "see any harm ... that we can directly tie to..." It is very conceivable that one or more American soldiers have been...

    U.S. to Host World Press Freedom Day

    The most absurd and hilarious line from above is: "The United States places technology and innovation at the forefront of its diplomatic and development efforts." You'd think they'd apply just a little bit of that technology and innovation to their diplomatic cables.

    Wikileaks under attack: the definitive timeline

    You can only see the effect of gravity, not gravity itself. Gravity is unseen, just like the unseen and unknown previous attacks on Wikileaks. It's like air. Can't see that either (well, except in Los Angeles you can), but you can see the effects of air. But the analogy was not whether or not...

    Insanity spreads .... as Freedom begins to circle the porcelain receptacle ...

    Saying that a newspaper committed an act of bad citizenship for publishing something is precisely the same thing as saying a US citizen is displaying bad citizenship for talking about something. That's one scary thought, and the fact that a US Senator, A.K.A., a federal legislator, actually...

    Columbia University Reverses Anti-WikiLeaks Guidance

    There's a lot more in the USA Today article, USATODAY - On campus: Free speech for you but not for me? and I encourage anyone who is not aware of the lack of free speech on college campus read the entire thing. The article is dated, but things are worse now than they were then. If you like, I...

    Gps warning: Don't buy magellan

    With each firmware update the 465 is getting better. When it first came out it weighted too heavily the STAA truck routes, instead of the Interstate that were right next to them. It's now a good truck GPS. It's always had some good truck-specific features, but it's truck routing was really bad...

    Assange surrenders

    Well, by out of his control, by that I mean there's a copy of the file on my hard drive, too, and he (or the government) can't get to it (to delete, or edit it), so what's out there is out there. All he or someone else has to do is release the password. In addition to the NSA, obviously, there...

    Wikileaks under attack: the definitive timeline

    ...... that you know about or that was public knowledge ..... ...said the spook janitor. :D To use the same logic you just used in another thread, lack of proof is not evidence that something does or does not exist. It is an absolute fact? No, of course not. But considering that Assange has a...

    Texas court to rule on death penalty constitutionality

    Uhm, you're the one who brought me into this thread. That's practically the definition of a man-crush. You are what you post. If you don't want to look like an idiot, don't post idiot.

    Assange surrenders

    "One might view the concerted efforts against Assange as evidence of the import of what is contained in the files." That one really doesn't make sense, though, since the file is sitting out there on thousands of servers, including Usenet, and all of them out of the control of Assange or the...

    Texas court to rule on death penalty constitutionality

    Whether or not you're a fan of the PM is irrelevant to whether or not something is more appropriate for a PM. Only in your mind. It became relevant when you mentioned me by name.

    Wikileaks under attack: the definitive timeline

    Back in July when all that stuff was released, nothing was done to Wikileaks or Assange. Nothing. You know why? It certainly wasn't because Lieberman's staff had problems locating Amazon's phone number. It was because those releases exposed lies and corruption and coverups. Wikileaks or Assange...

    Texas court to rule on death penalty constitutionality

    You gotta luv Texas. In addition to their proclivity for the death penalty, there's also this... Judge: Why did you kill this man? Defendant: He needed killin' Judge: Case dismissed

    Assange surrenders

    I have a feeling that this "insurance" "thermonuclear device" of a 1.4 GB encrypted file is 1.4 GB of random data bluffing. The file was supposed to be released if anything happened to Assange or WIkileaks. Assange is in jail and Wikileaks can't find a bank account, or a credit card.

    Texas court to rule on death penalty constitutionality

    Good example of a question better suited for a PM, considering, you know, that I hadn't posted in this thread and have no comment, and our previous conversation was, you know, in a different thread. But to answer your question, yes, it should.

    Your Sprinter Sleeper

    I kept the battery separator in place, for a couple of reasons. One, if the Dual Pro On-The-Run charger doesn't work out for some reason, it's a snap to go back to the previous setup. Two, it was quicker and easier to leave it in place. When the engine is running the battery separator engages...

    Judge: French web host need not shut down WikiLeaks site

    Where, exactly, did the attack on the freedom of the press occur, and by whom? Don't say it was when the government had Amazon shut down Wikileaks, because there's no proof of that. Bloggers allege it, as does Assange. Assange goes as far to state that Amazon's press release does not accord...
