and not for safety. Don't doubt that for a second.

and then let's hear about how it's all anecdotal evidence.

Then someone will bring out the backblaze survey.

Then someone will say "They've never had a problem with Seagate, but WD sucks."

Then someone will lament how IBM no longer makes drives. Then the deskstar stories will start.

In other words, the same responses every time a hard drive story is posted.

It wasn't released before the election because it is an unpopular partisan football. It wasn't released before the election because it would have cost the dems votes. Since they've already lost control of the senate they have to release it now before they lose control of the senate. Again, you're missing the point of why was this released now? Do you think that this report just happened to be finished at the end of November? Don't be naive. This report has been declassified since July. This report was released because as a lame duck dem senate there is nothing for them to lose.

Feinstein, along with Pelosi and other democrats, knew this was going on. They were briefed AS IT WAS HAPPENING. Was anyone in the CIA or anyone involved in these interrogations interviewed? NOPE. That should tell you everything right there.

The "flamebait" mod was bullshit because my comment was political. My comment was political because this report along with the timing of it's release was purely political. Again look who wrote the report, when it was ready, when it was released, and who was ignored.

Releasing this report for purely political reasons does. People can mod my original post as flamebait but that's bullshit. Why wasn't the report released before now? Why now? Why wasn't ANYONE in the program interviewed to be included in the report? Why are all of the dems that were in congress saying they knew nothing about this when it was proven that they were included in the briefings?

Look, you may not like what was done. I can respect that. But releasing this report for pure political reasons is inexcusable.

terrorists, stop being an idiot. Richard Reid tried to light a shoe bomb and didn't kill anyone, yet let at all of the trouble and hassle EVERYONE who flies has to go through now. It isn't always about death. It's also about our way of life. How much money do you think is being spent to find explosives on persons who fly?

So stop saying "More people are killed by albino left-handed sharks than terrorists because that isn't the point."

A final democrat "Fuck You" to President Bush. That's the only reason. You think it was coincidence that this report is released just before the dems lose control of the Senate and won't be able to release it next year? This "report" is unbelievably slanted and only contains one side.

The democrats have done nothing but put a nation and a lot of people's lives at risk for nothing. And no, Graham isn't a republican. He says he is, but he isn't.

Or my bivacy, if you know what I mean.

If girls want to sign up for CS, then fine. If they don't, then fine. Stop it with the sexist nightmare shit.

flash memory ass

You can buy a surface pro 1st gen with 128GB memory for @ $300 now. While the interface isn't perfect, it comes in really handy having a tablet that is a real PC with real PC speeds & not some atom CPU speed.

Legally toxic idiot. You knew that.

Nope, my argument is "creating child pornography is a crime." It should be prosecuted whether a 40 year old creates child porn or a 14 year old creates child porn.

I understand that if the police are investigating me for whatever reason and they happen to see that a phone number that has never called me and I have never called sent me a 14 year sexting pic, eventually they'll come to the conclusion that it was sent by accident. HOWEVER, until they reach that conclusion, they'll investigate every aspect of my life, confiscate every computer and phone I own, inadvertently or not leak that child porn was found in my possession (years ago won't matter), and maybe find something else completely unrelated that they may prosecute me with.

You're missing the point that teenager is creating something that is so toxic that it could effectively destroy the life of anyone that happens to see it. Who makes it doesn't matter.

This is something that has always bothered me. If a teenager is sexting her boyfriend or girlfriend and they happen to get the number number and send a pic to me, I have child porn on my phone. It doesn't matter how it got there. It doesn't matter how fast I delete it. If there ever happens to be any investigation of me for any reason and they check my SMS messages at the phone company, the cops will see it and now they have a reason to investigate every aspect of my life, confiscate every computer I have, and generally fuck me over.

Teenagers sexting is paying with fire and can destroy completely innocent lives.

Yes, I get the inevitable joke "So that's how you're saying that picture got there."

everything else was lacking.

I underwent LASIK 14 years ago and I recommend it to everyone. If the OC is what convinced him to do it, great. He should have done it years ago.
