Don't most athletes who are at the Olympic level have some sort of athletic advantage. Obviously it's about determination and perseverance in training but its also about have really good genes. An average joe/jane will never ever be able to go to the Olympics no matter how hard they train.

I am sick of the federal government overstepping their power by trying to force states to pass laws or lose funding. This is just like what happened with raising the drinking age. The federal government needs to stop sidestepping the system and let the states make decisions for themselves.

If someone wanted to attack a cellphone network why wouldnÂt they just use a windows mobile phone which you can access the baseband, load custom ROMs, and do super low level programming right out of the box. I mean I unlocked my windows mobile phone for $10 and about 20 minutes of my time, and I didnÂt have to do any quirky and unreliable hacks like unlocking through jailbreaking.

Besides all of this is pretty much moot as the Copyright Office has declared unlocking a phone not to be copyright infringement...so if someone were to get sued for jailbreaking they could easily just cite that judgement in thier motion to dismiss.

There is a reason why there is no such things as programming mouses...because programmers rarely using mice...

A better solution would be to learn how to use keyboard shortcuts.

HAH! And you thought modchips were just for running *legal* backups of your own games...think again!

At least geeks will have a steady income installing them once every new car has this.

Ahh gosh darn it, my full proof plan has been foiled!

And the whole tasering thing just sounds kinky.

Wow an OP that responds to comments...that is a first. I commend you.

Honestly Micheal Moore is a pretty massive douche. As a liberal I despise Moore almost as much (if not just as much) as I despire O'Reiley. They are both closed minded idiots that only see one side of the issues.

I am a staunch liberal but I am not afraid of criticizing liberal officials. I also think fiscal conservatism is much better than fiscal liberalism.

The key question is, why do people even bother buying Memorex and Imation branded DVDs?

I hate CMC (memorex) even more. Their products are terrible wastes of plastic that would probably be slightly more useful as coasters (which they usually end up being anyways).

Their dual layer DVDs are a joke and your lucky if you get one dvd-dl out of a pack of 20 that works and lasts for more than a month or two.

Even their single layer DVDs are terrible. They only last a month or two.

And the worst part is CMC has a near monopoly on DVDs. I went to compUSA and they didn't have a single non-CMC brand. If you don't know who makes it...its probably CMC. HP, Imation, Memorex, Generic Brands, and now even single layer once holy Verbatims.

If CMC is sued out of existence for not paying Toshiba then they had whats coming to them. They certainly make terrible products that are a sheer joke. Who in their right mind would honestly trust their data on a CMC disc?

Maybe with CMC out of the picture we can actually find Taiyo Yudens in stores. (because lets face whenever you need more DVDs you need them right away and don't feel like waiting for shipping)

Or in Clinton's case the term "Presidential Adviser"

RAID 6, RAID cards have really gone down in rpice and you just throw 5 1TB drives together and not worry...

now if you want it to be so backed up that if your house catches in fire your data will be fine, get a couple of 1TB hard drives, put them in $10 external cases, and throw them in a storage locker.

Also as an added bonus if the world ever comes to an end and the whole internet goes down in smolderines you can just take your box of hard drives to the fallout shelter along with a netbook and you will be the guy who keeps our culture alive.

People will discover these lost drives and view world changing films such as Beverly hills chihuahua, wolverine orgins, jumper, and twilight.

You know what ....just throw the drives in acid, we don't want historians looking at those xD
