You highly overestimate the US (I am assuming here) population. First off having a name attached to the defacto standard because everything either is prepay and on credit. You have to go to a store and purchase a pre-paid phone in cash to not have your name attached. Or purchase one with someone elses credit card/ID.

And finally you say that 'TERRORIST" [ZOMG, the horror] are using prepaid cell phones and the the clerk at Target will start asking for ID to buy your phone in cash. No one would bat an eye. And all the people not voting AGAINST the terrorists would have a tougher time getting re-elected.

Yeah because he increased their overall funding, and axed the Saturn V 2 (Aeries) money vacuum.

With that combo NASA will have lots of cash for orbital earth and probe based space missions. Hopefully we can get a non-craptastic shuttle mk2 program in the works.

I a really sad the US is ending our manned space program. I thought the Shuttle needed a replacement in the mid 90s. But a more advanced more capable shuttle like craft.

And why is the shuttle program stopping again? I really don't know.

No using a condom is NOT a crime. You can use a condom for easy clean-up while masturbating.

Your argument is akin to saying that teaching students how to vote is a crime, because you have to be 18 to vote. I was taught how to vote in the 2nd grade, with replica paper butterfly punch ballots in Florida.

Yeah I play with a dictionary from the mid eighties. So a lot of tech words are out. I remember a big ho-ha about 'internet'. Makes the game fun though.

Oh and 'internet' is now handwritten into the dictionary.

Well you could of purchased a Pontiac Vibe.

But on a real note. What do any of you requirements have to do with my thoughts on Toyota? How does hauling lumber, riding bikes (I am an avid cyclist), and towing a trailer make one enjoy driving?

I don't know what kind of point you were trying to make. That you wanted a non-boring car and couldn't find one? The Vibe is infact non-boring (I know they come stick)? Or that you agree that Toyota makes boring very capable cars that cater to most people who would rather just get to their destination and not drive? I think you helped make my point.

Comment Sounds like error in the 'good' direction (Score 1) 89

At least they don't have data saying that our speeds are faster than they really are. This way the problem of 3rd world net speeds can be addressed.

And really the argument 'these scores are low because X slowed them down' is really not sound. If X really exists then the connection is slowed in real life. I would bet this is the results of what people expierence over the net. And should be plenty fine to help determine what needs to be done to get back in the same ballpark as the rest of the industrialized world.

Well "Chrome" is sypware. It is and well it isn't open source. Chromium is open source and well is basically the exact same as "Chrome" but different. I won't appologize for it, it IS SPYWARE. It does give you benefit but it reports almost everything home.

As for SRWare Iron. I use it. It is great. But you don't get SRWare Iron when you click on the Chrome button. SRWare Iron is a good browser, Chrome is NOT.
