The parties have totally flipped since the beginning of the 20th century... You cant say that the Republicans are the party of Lincoln now or the Democrats are the party of the South.

An intelligent, thoughtful reply on /.? Expect to get modded to hell. ;D

Luckily the occurrance of an intelligent, thoughtful reply on /. would seem to indicate that hell may have been frozen over.

My only question is, the alleged hacking took place in 2004, how does it take until 2010 for it to be presented as news on Slashdot?

Sounds about right for Slashdot.

Oh come on... It's better than any other war in history that was fought with weapons that go BOOM from far distances. There will always be collateral damage in wars, there is no perfect solution or answer. We have increased the amount of money to kill one enemy immensely so that we can minimize CD and that should be see as a huge step forward.

For those against the war in Afghanistan I always love to hear what other options we had or have.

This was already solved by the Storm 2, it has a capacitive touchscreen with software that mimics tactile resistance. This means you have to actually "Click" on the screen to "left click." This solves the hover problem on the storms unfortunately the current browser sucks so it doesn't help much but it is doable. I actually prefer to type on it than my iPhone.

To give a seemingly unrelated example, the USA income tax was "temporary". It's temporary alright, in the sense that one day the sun will stop shining...

Amendments to the constitution are rarely temporary...

Yes because the knowing how to spell or hell even know where the Aleutian Islands are is an important factor in determining education quality. It's up there with basic math and reading.

And that would explain why we have a constitutional amendment which provides for hunches. Wait, there is no such amendment you say, just some that prevent unreasonable search and seizure?

Or you can be a pouge who acts all hardcore, even though an 11B PFC has boots with more roadmarch miles than you.

Its POG (as in Person other-than grunt) not pouge... you obviously dont know what you talking about because grunts can barely read let alone follow /.

Also the only real grunts are Marines not soldiers (which the summary calls us) get a job boot.

The main point is to be able to connect to your computer and stream to your TV. They offer both an IDE and SATA version that all you have to do is stick a hard drive in. The interface has been generally the same (not the best but very usable) but it is continually updated for new codecs/features and even has a built in torrent downloader.

I bought one last summer and cant live without it now. Streaming 1080p or 720p from my computer to my 46 LCD with great video/sound quality is awesome.
