What was being added? (honest sincere question) I thought the dems were against the piecemeal strategy, because they wanted to maintain pressure against the reps ... didn't know the reps were adding things into it.

where is my mod points! haha

thank you, said what I wanted to say, but much better.

I agree ... even though i don't have a 4 digit user id, i come here for content not cuteness.

THIS! wish i had mod points

I don't think its that they are missing those features as much as they aren't marketing them as much as office etc. I'm not getting a tablet for office, so if they are only marketing for that I certainly wouldn't look at the surface. If they mixed in other apps, then I would possibly look at it and oh hey it does office too, cool. I think that was what the OP was trying to say.

Honestly I love lugging my gigantic laptop around, love having the power to do whatever, but that's just me.

where is mod points when i need them!

Have you ever even gone hunting? I have and you sir do not understand it.

Relating to cars NOT if you only drive them on your land. I do not need to license my car OR have a drivers license to drive them on my own land (think farmer) as for registration thats mainly to account for stolen vehicles etc. As for guns you ALSO have to fill out registration etc when buying certain guns. My .40 is registered to me and if i ever want to sell it I will FOR SURE pass that registration off to the person who buys it, then I am not liable for what happens with that gun. See there already is that system in place!

The chemicals that can make an IED aren't illegal because they are commonly used for other purposes. By your logic we should make cars, any common chemical that could possibly sorta be kinda used in a an IED or anything that has caused death illegal or HEAVILY restricted, and in some cases they are others not so much.

I actually enjoy guns for other purposes then killing people, or killing anything for that matter. They are fun to practice marksmanship or shot targets with.

My point is you cant legislate away stupid or homicidal. Most laws only really affect those that follow them.

IED's may be illegal but that doesn't mean you can't make one or that people wont. All it does ensure is that if they make one and use it (and don't kill themselves) then they could have another charge added to their long list of laws broken.

Question for you: Do you think that guns have no legislation at all? That I can just go buy any gun that I want? Its like most of the weapons you listed, I have to have the permits etc etc to even think about owning any of those items the same applies to certain guns. Some guns are near impossible to own legally and thats for a good reason. The guns that are legal now I see no problem for law abiding citizens to own.

And IEDs (improvised explosive device) are nonexistent and wouldn't do more damage then any gun anyways ... right?

In the end its still people that cause the problems why not try and address what caused the wound instead of trying to lessen the blow the next time?

On a more personal opinion, if they're doing doctorate like research I would be inclined to believe that they would be smart enough to find guns no matter how hard you push papper (make laws) at them. I mean their planning on killing people which is way worse then owning an illegal gun so why should they care if they break 2 or 3 laws more.

Why isn't this enabled by default!?!? Who wouldn't want to copy|paste to the console?

this! my first thought when i watched the video.

Indeed but at least in OSX the interface is much simpler and less annoying. I can select to update the things that wont cause a reboot and then say "not now" to the things that will and it wont remind me i have updates every 15 minutes and ask to restart. In fact i have an update that I've been putting off for a few weeks and I cant even remember the last time it asked me to install it and it NEVER just installs it then asks me to restart ever 15 min - 4 hours.

Why is this down voted?!? as a web developer I wish IE 6 would disappear into a deep dark recess and never come out! For the site I develop we stopped supporting it ages ago and instead post a banner that basically says "HEY! STOP IT! Upgrade or get a different browser you ninnys" ... something like that if I remember right.
