    The Biased

    .... its so bad, its just so bad. Thank god that Obama treated meeting with Hugo Chavez they way he did, its just so hard to believe that people have their heads wrapped so far into propaganda that they don't take any time to question anything. Was watching David Letterman tonight, i can't...

    end of tax free internet sales.

    So, its being enacted, or more likely to be enacted, not because retail vendors find it unfair, that argument has been going on for years now. Internet sales tax is going to be enforced because there is an expected drop in sales tax. So, basically, consumerism is failing right now...

    F U Microsoft and your VOLUME CONTROL! (Fasha & Linux battle/rant)

    no, i know, i'm looking around right now and trying to find something i like, because i think at some point Mandriva will shut down. But hey, that might even be a good thing, the community support might come back.... but their huge repositories would be lost more than likely.

    planned obsolescence

    I'm speaking from a higher viewpoint than just faulty OSs, it just seems like such a waste to me to release something is such large volumes for such little gains. For example, the jump from Geforce 7 series to 8 wasn't anything really special, at all, especially considering a 7600 performed...

    F U Microsoft and your VOLUME CONTROL! (Fasha & Linux battle/rant)

    Yeah, so i informed my dad of the faults of Ubuntu, gave him a Mandriva DVD, all set to go. I like Mandriva because it is Windows like in turn its simpler for people who've used Windows products all their lives to up and use. That and their graphical control center is pretty sweet, not much...

    searchable subscriptions

    title is pretty self explanatory, but there are SO many time i try to find a thread, and then have to dig around all HWF to find it because i don't remember exactly where i posted it, if one could search their subscriptions, that would be the awesomeness.

    How long do you think the patch will hold?

    I highly doubt many officials pay taxes, why would they. The whole income tax thing drives me insane, the more i learn of that whole situation the more frustrating it gets. I dunno, as far as America goes, it just seems all is lost, rampant consumerism, the industrial war complex, greed, mass...

    planned obsolescence

    So, basically, it describes the computer hardware market. I mean, Linux makes old hardware usable forever really, and i don't think a dual core machine will ever really need to be upgraded, not for a LONG time anyways. I dunno, thats all i have really, but it just bothers me, and release...

    How To Build A Better Toaster.

    so, i was just thinking about it, and i know a toaster in only on for like a minute, but wouldn't it be a lot better to use a quartz crystal, than a filament?

    Why did the Gov Bail out the Banks?

    Because the banks own everything, the IRS is a private entity, it is in now way a part of the government, its as federal as Federal Express. For some insight look over these films. America: Freedom to Fascism - Director's Authorized Version Zeitgeist: Addendum

    Really though, i wonder what has happened to games lately, there is hardly anything i am excited about buying, its like as the baby boomers grow and we grow with them, they just become more and more disconnected. They really have no idea what we want, or how we think...

    How long do you think the patch will hold?

    Seriously, opinions? The printed money is a patch, its holding for moment, but it will wear away at some point. I am just looking for opinions, but how much worse do you think it will get? I didn't really even think about it until my friend said something tonight, but he is right. The...

    Whose Crisis?

    i was just thinking about this today, but i've only ever owned 1 GM vehicle, and a buddy of mine loves them, and he was going over the changes from year to year of these Regals he has, and the stuff GM left out. Anyways, i've changed my mind, yes, we do generally pay line workers more than they...
