Unless HP products came with the winning lottery numbers in them, I would consider such a purchase a waste of time and money. My laptop is in the shop to have the video chip re-soldered. The factory version of this process was a chronic failure. Though it failed after only nine months of periodic use, the One Year Warranty was of no use, as the clock on that warranty starts at the date of Manufacture</s
So in the spirit of cooling things off a bit, my friend in New York just sent this to me. Technology having fun. Enjoy. http://www.noob.us
unless, of course, he leaves our citizens trapped in an embassy in a foreign country, surrounded by the enemy for a year and a half like Carter did. Or he lets an attack like the bombing of the Cole go unpunished, but offered lots of rhetoric like Clinton did. Or he broke into a private office to steal personal information about an adversarry like Nixon did. Or lied under oath, like Clinton did. I suppose "worse" is a matter of taste, depending on how much of your person
[quote]The couple thousand in questionable donations [/quote] My bad. I wasn't aware that it was only a couple of thousand but rather that tens of million$ of his donations are untraceable. I stand corrected. Gladly, someone does have a trace on the million$ of don

[quote who="Lantec" reply="4" id="1922272"]The issue of Obama's birth certificate was put to rest yesterday. Hawaii has officially stated that they have an original birth certificate and the Ohio and Pennsylvania lawsuits were dropped. [/quote] Awesome good news. Now I'm left wondering if, having had to relinquish his US citizenship to be allowed, legally, to go to school in Indonesia, a requirement at the time that he was there, does the US State Department now

[quote]Why do you think McCain kept bringing up Ayers? He was obviously hoping people would perceive it as an issue. It doesn't matter whether or not it is a real issue, just will it influence the voters or not. The same is true of this supposed BC issue. Completely made up, manufactured tripe to try and influence voters. Furthermore, releasing his birth certificate serves no valid purpos
[quote]So if you see a lot of white haired old coots (male and female) at those McCain/Palin rallys, try to remember that bigotry comes from fear of the unknown and old habits can be hard to break - but often quite easy to stir up.[/quote] Not to forget... bigotry is passing judgemet on peole you don't really know. "White haired old coots" might sound a bit biggoted to someone who didn't know you so well. Some of my highest paying jobs were given to me by employers who w
[quote]Either way, each campaign works hard to screen these out because the embarrassment is never worth the chump change of the donation.[/quote][ Though I'm sure you'd agree that $600million is a bit more than chump change, and screening millions of small donations of under $200, made by credit card, from overseas would likely not be readily accomplished in the short period of time between its being recieved and being spent, it's hard to say with certainty. Several rich and powerful
[quote]I used the snopes site so it would be easy for everyone to be caught up. The birth certificate I linked to (also found in that snopes article) is more legally relevant, of course. And yes, anyone can bring a lawsuit for any reason. Whether it holds up in court or is thrown out as a waste of the court's time is another matter entirely. [/quote] I agree with you completely. The document on the snopes site appears to be a Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth, but not a Ha
[quote]Eventually all campaigns have to bounce some of them because they are fraudulent or illegal for some reason - like they came from overseas. Sometimes they catch them immediately, sometimes it takes a while to sort through them all.[/quote] Campaign contributions can be made by credit card (most are) and the "overseas" factor disappears completely.
It would be so cool if the judge sitting on the lawsuit in Philadelphia regarding Obama's citizenship would save the taxpayer's some money by referring to snopes.com to render jurisprudence, instead of trying to do his own research all these months. As a matter of fact, I think all courts should run that way and save us some money. We're gonna need it, I think. [e digicons]:|[/e]
Rest assured, though my employers political views, which are largely economically based, are no secret to his employees, this latest tidbit was a private aside to me. The last thing he needs is a company full of people who think that they're going to lose their jobs. That's why I was asked to not discuss it with my co-workers. I happen to know that they will lose their jobs, but only for economic reasons. Right now, we're doing quite well, and the owner is inclined to believe t
indeed, the New York Times, though not necessarily the most reliable source, has a long history of being incredibly pro-Democrat, left wing and liberal, for sure. So I , too, am amazed that they would see the failure of our present economy as having its roots in Democrat-based economic policy from the Clinton years. Will wonders never cease?
[quote]As I indicated earlier Obama only has to comply with the law the same as McCain to run for president and all the smoke people have been blowing in this thread isn't the law.[/quote] From what I can determine, there is no law that requires his compliance. There is only the Constitutional requirement, and of course the diligence of his own party chairperson to validate h
DPCloud, your points are well put. I'd vote Democrat for the same reasons. Everyone that I've asked is voting Democrat and none of them are voting for Obama. They're voting against Bush, who isn't running. They use the hatred of the " Bush years" to justify their vote. They're voting for CHANGE. Change to what they can't say because so far none can point to any results, only promises without any evidence of competency for the task. A year of Congressional stagnation so far. I fou
BigDog: My experience exactly' except that I was able to restore from my back up. Something told me that *this* time, I SHOULD backup. Glad I listened to me for once. ;-) Also running an HP-AMD system. Hp sux... but it's mostly rebuilt, now. Auto up date turned off now, too. Vandals couldn't have done worse. Sorry others have had issues with this update/downgrade, but its comforting to know that I'm not alone with this problem. Like you, I'd like to see something declaring that
