After fixing the DVD Drive myself... Magnet had to be glued back in place... We got the red ring of death... Even after the home repair Microsoft took it back on their extended warranty for this problem... They instructed us to send it in a plain box and to make sure X-Box was not on the box... To avoid theft... Ok did that... To Microsoft's credit and my sons delight we had in back in less than 10 days... Went to pick it up at the UPS hub next to the airport where they asked me "Is this for you or your son?". I asked them how they new what it was... As it was in a plain white box... and the two clerks behind the counter actually laughed and said... "You would be amazed at how many of these come through here!!!"... These things are junk unfortunately the games my son likes are on it... I guess I will continue to try and keep it going until there are games for the PS3 that he likes...

OK... Lets look at this logically... there are now two people running for president. John McCain and Joe Biden. Neither Obama nor Palin have the political capital or experience to be taken seriously. This being said both men are a problem when it comes to technology. In fact most of Congress is a problem. While the war is on McCain will not care about your privacy (this is being said by a Republican Troll by the way) and as the war fades away I am not sure what would bring it to his attention if he could even understand it; he's 72 years old. Biden, however, will sit as the tie breaking vote in the senate and he swings a big stick (the guy has been in office longer than I have been alive). If you are worried about net neutrality and privacy, worry about Biden. If you don't believe me call Phil Zimmermann and ask him what he thinks of Biden. Even Microsoft has had to lobby against him. I am talking about impact here and Biden will have the most. Ask yourself if that is good or bad. As for me if it weren't for that stupid flat tax I like many would choose Ron Paul if I were voting for net freedom. Thanks for your time...
