There's nothing cheap about an Apple widget.

I wonder how many of these will be shot down, or at least return with bullet holes.

I would agree with you entirely except for the insane profit margain Apple experiences.

Sure it's nice to see the wireless providers get knocked down a peg.. too bad Apple can't pass along some of those 'savings' to the end customer. I'd actually consider Apple products if they were priced competatively.. I don't need an idevice to feel hip.

Because he's dead?

I know who Turing is and what some of his contributions were but I was unaware he was prosecuted and convicted of a crime primarily because he was gay. A pardon isn't going to change anything.

I had a similar experience, my reaction was to swat at it with my right hand. I swung so hard that I knocked my rear view mirror off the windshield.. oddly enough I felt no pain in my hand.

The spider landed on the passenger seat and then scurried under it. I was paranoid the rest of the ride home.

That is true except that she has been living in the US for a 6 years of student visa and then 2 more years on a work visa before we were even engaged. A few months after we started dating she actually lost her work visa and had to leave the country before they would issue her a new one.

I don't deny the entire process is a pain in the ass. Some of the questions they ask on the forms are if she is or ever has been associated with the Communist part. Was she ever in a militia or a drug cartel. All I could think was if a person should answer yes to either of those, they'd probably lie about it anyway.

I guess my whole point is that if they were more strict at the beginning, zero leniency, hopefully the entire process would be easier. Right now most people in the US are against illegal immigration, how to solve it is where the arguments begin. It's a big mess right now, we need a concerted effort to find out who is in our country as well as a clear process for those people to take to make it "legal".

Maybe that line of mine wasn't very clear. There are temporary statuses that are much easier to obtain and don't cost nearly as much that would allow a person to work, legally, in the US. It is in that period a person could save up money to eventually apply for permanent residency.

My wife is a foreign national and we had to go through the immigration process for her to receive her green card. We didn't use a lawyer, the process cost us about $2000 in filing fees and took about 9 months from filing until she had the card in her hand.

I'm typically more liberal when it comes to social issues but not on immigration. Name me one other developed nation that has such leniency for undocumented aliens.

I don't want to keep people out if they truely want to be here, they just have to follow the rules and do it the right way. If they sneak across the border and live in the shadows or under a false name and credentials.. I have no sympathy if they get caught and shipped back to their home country.

There are cheaper ways to gain temporary legal residency if $2000 is too much to apply for the green card. In that time money could be saved to eventually go through that process.

They should work on planting "illegal" files on top government officials' home computers then blow the whistle on them.

I get about 11Mb/s down but only about .8Mb/s up. For my residential use (mostly gaming) this is more than enough for me.

I've got Time Warner and live in a town of about 25,000 people in Ohio. I think they gave me a free "boost" upgrade a year or two ago.
