Comment Not Worth Concern (Score 1) 156

What you are seeing right here in this article, is paid for marketing, promoting fear tactics to scare the masses. Registering at the Bay does not provide proof of illegal activities. There are plenty of legitimate torrents out in cyberspace and on Pirate Bay. Nothing to see here, move along folks.

This phone is great. I am looking at it right now as I type this. With my wireless G router, I can easily walk about 60 feet and get clear reception. Device standard battery gives me around 3.5 hours of talk time. There is a "Gold" version of the battery on ebay if you want longer battery life. This unit has never dropped a call. I have had it for more than 10 months and have put around 200 hours on it. 1/8 mic/headphone jack. Can be charged via USB cable and has its own docking station, Skype Certified. Easy interface, though no video calls, obviously. I decided on this phone after researching for days on end last spring, for a wifi skype solution. Best $125 I have spent in quite some time.

Comment Re:Not fear of death, it's not wanting to get sick (Score 1) 579

And my experience with shots were this. I never received a shot for years, since I was in junior high (late 80's). And never became ill, EVER. Even when smoking cigarettes for about 10 years 93-02. All I ever had was just the sniffles from time too time. No flu, nothing. Then I had my son. I did not start taking the shots yet but I quit smoking. Still felt fine, even when my son and other nieces and nephews were sick all the damn time and around me monthly (Family is all in Bay Area). I then decided I would do the responsible parent thing and go get the shot, just too "be on the safe side". For the exact same three years I received the shot, 2004 & 2005 & 2006 I was so sick and missed so much work from those damn shots, I would get sick as a dog weeks if not months AFTER, the shot was taken. So after all of that drama and having a friend/work associate who has an autistic son (not from birth) but from the shots he received (in 2006) I decided never again will I worry about the shots. Your body can do all the battling it needs to stay healthy... ON ITS OWN. Seriously, if it is NOT a Flesh Wound, then why bother. OH NO, because other people see that your ill and are now scared of you! OH NO.... please. This is the way it should be. Half the battle of illness is psychological. And if your fears (or other peoples) fears are pushing you too stick yourself with something cause you or even worse THEY, THINK it will protect you, YOU better think again. Since I have not had my shot for about 3 years now, I feel better than I ever had. And I laugh at all of you idiots who let your fears control you. And I put all you idiots in your place who think your fear is a reason....HA, to control SOMEONE ELSES heath/life. Good luck with that. I will never believe in peoples fear of mother nature, ever. Take all the drugs you want too comfort yourself, I prefer to not too play that game, Thank you very much.

Comment Anyone read the HR2454 Bill? (Score 2, Interesting) 1100

I'll tell you, there is a reason why this Global Warming or Climate Change is up for debate.
Never mind the fact that polar bears DO know how too swim or that this is the coolest summer on record. Temperatures have been cooling since 1998/99.
Never mind the fact the fact that this planet and other planets have warmed and cooled throughout the centuries.
Never mind the fact that The Inconvenient Truth is actually refuted by thousands of scientists throughout the world.
Never mind that Al Gore stands to make Billions if this Cap n Trade, Climate Change Bill HR2454 passes in the Senate and gets signed into law.
Never mind that this same Bill not only tax business but tax EVERYONE, from real estate restrictions on your home, to making you pay for renovations before you can sell your home.
Never mind that all this media spin is meant too whip support for the most invasive tax bill ever brought upon all the people of this country.
Never mind that they rushed this bill in the house, and did not even read through it, but still passed it anyhow.
All I will ask of YOU is too do the research behind the science of climate change and draw your own conclusions, before you are sway by ANY mass public opinion.
And please we have already taken such a huge debt with these bailouts, again please read the HR2454 Cap n trade Climate Change Bill. This is all incremental folks. The trial of Climate change/Global Warming and this HR2454 Cap n Trade Carbon Tax Bill is all relevant. Just trying to give a heads up. Tired of the "end of the world" fear mongering.

Free government treatment my ass! WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE GOVERNMENT! I refuse to be taxed for this garbage. First you'll legalize it, tax it, then, when your "oh poor me government help" programs are not getting enough funding, because of the politicians and corrupt individuals operating it, suck it down for other purposes, then the people IN GENERAL will be taxed for this bullshit. LISTEN, PEOPLE, I want all of YOU too hear these words ring in your mind for eternity. Since I don't play your game, I don't want your tax, you idiots have no foresight do you. I WILL NOT PAY FOR YOUR DRUG HABIT OR ANY OTHER SELF DESTRUCTIVE, CAN'T COPE, CRUTCH YOU MAY HAVE. Never ever, not in a million years. Medicinal use for PAIN REGULATION is FINE with me, but THAT IS IT. You can log that one in your database, books or wherever! Bunch of weak, no vision, idealistic fools.

OH LOOK I JUST RECEIVED AN IM! Oh its the authorities telling me their on their way. On that note, couldn't this little device with its memory, easily log or retain past website access info? So any *cough* inquiring individual or *cough* group/gang/thugs access it 24/7 since you know, since its always on. And why do I get the feeling this is being developed ULTIMATELY for law enforcement, to snoop around while your at work or asleep? First business will adopt the tech, then they'll implement it on all home pc's and motherboards, network cards etc.. Promote the "convenience factor" then, in the end, stick it too us when magically, law reinforcement (and other undercover groups), find out they can use it to their benefit. Ah the future, so convenient, so intrusive. Do I really need to be bothered so much? No. I know my privacy rights. If my computer is offline then I am also offline, If its important, call me, don't IM me....idiots. I know a rat when I smell one.

Submission + - Climate Change Bill - Carbon Tax / Credit (politico.com)

Mirazh1976 writes: A Tax on Carbon based life and living? Well seems the House passed it yesterday. Thanks Mr. Gore! http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0609/24232.html Are you ready to submit to your government and The United Nations, all of your human activities both in business and in your homes? Because if this gets pushed through and signed, that is exactly what will happen. See impact; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_tax As if we already don't have enough issues with government spending and excessive regulations that only make it more difficult to get a business profitable to begin with. Alternately this youtube poster has it right, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq82era8jWM Get ready to kiss our forth amendment goodbye. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution Starting to notice how the real big impacting issues get processed and passed, flying under the radar, while other countries or individuals drama or mortality comes to pass and dominates the news. Typical Though I'd /. this as an FYI. Once signed this is going to affect EVERYONE.

I like how the WHO World Health Organization and Chipped Technology are combined together in one article. This should really bring ammunition to the opinion that one day all the people in the world will have chips embedded into their skin or whatever. I also took my liberty, (what I have left that really matters) and decided to do a WHOIS look up of the WHO.int. I had one more brain tickle, site was registered one day before 911. I am a skeptic of many opinions, but one thing is for certain, I will make it clear beyond any doubt that my body is my own. You can screw with my mind all you want. But you can't touch me. And if you assholes do, prepare to die.

Here are my thoughts and actions. No I will not spend money or take your vaccine. No I am not afraid of a "pandemic" to many idiots here anyway. No I will not buy into this psychological fear mongering everyone loves to push on people. I don't believe in what anyone says much anyhow. Now how many takers do I have who in spite of what I think and feel are angry and want to control me somehow? Write a law, call the karma police? Lets see.

I bet they would take this far more seriously and actually PASS some sort of privacy law. If this had happened to a politicians or high profile family. While everyone here makes good points, you fail in noticing just who the rules change for. And that should be even more disturbing than the useless image of a dead person.

How long does it take the wave to brake and hit the shore shit. They are creating laws that only impoverish us by forcing us to pay for culture when it should be free. Our education will suffer by these laws as well. We are selling out our freedom and the futures freedom with these ridicules laws. I am currently in the process of working on my music cd. I can not believe any audience I might get is going to appreciate me if I use this copyright to protect my creations in order to make money for lazy fucks who don't deserve a penny. I mean for fucks sake, who deserves to be rewarded for their creation after they die, let alone more than 10 - 15 years at best. For your lazy spoiled kids? Either create in a timely manner or GTFO. No one on this planet is a fucking god, so lets not write laws that make them so. Yah Think? I've made up my mind, just me and my creation and a respectful option to pay for my hard work to whom may appreciate my efforts. Fuck these companies and these laws, they are completely insulting, absurd and create a HUGE cultural imbalance for US, the people and the future. FUCK YOUR GREEDY LAZY BULLSHIT 70 YEARS!!!!
