And there are many reasons why we have the electoral college in place. The electoral college is an example of the great forethought of our founding fathers. If the majority rule was true you would have seen the USA collapse long ago. I implore everyone to read and understand the electoral college and why we have it.

Why are you posting on SD then? Shouldn't you be out harvesting our crops or something? BTW farmville doen't count.

I have been using gmail backup for quite some time. You can run it from a batch file and fire it off once a day or more. The only problem is this. There is a problem with the IMAP protocol that was changed by Google some time ago. The gmail backup utility has never been updated so now there is a small bug in it. It marks all your email as read after you run the script. So for instance I run my backup at 9pm each night. Any email that I get between the time I last saw my email on my iphone or PC and about 9:10 is marked as read. Now that I know about this then no big deal. It took me a couple of days to figure out how it was happening. I knew I couldn't have seen some emails and they got buried from the previous day. The only other thing which I am sure I could change if I wanted to was the script has to put in a hard date. So you run a backup from 1/1/2011. I am sure there would be a way to run it based of of the current day to go back 30 days or something. I just haven't taken the time to do it. I just didn't want to lose years of history. I have had my gmail account now for about as long as gmail has been around. So I think I have 5 years of history now. I have only cleared out emails a few times and I barely hit the 25% mark.

And if they don't learn from history it will repeat itself... Sony is much larger than SCO ever was... so that is the only bad part. I bet those SCO lawyers are laughing all the way to the bank.

Sony does make a lot of products other than the PS3 system.... Perhaps a huge facebook driven boycott of Sony products... start messing with the bottom line and I bet they change their tune. Oh wait... facebook is evil... well yes it may be considered that especially by those reading this but perhaps it could be used for good... muuuaahhaahaaaaa

Or "Why approve this?"

That is my philosophy on guns and knives... But hey I would concur on processors too...

Years ago AOL told my best friend's mother tried to cancel AOL after getting Road Runner. They told her that she still needed an ISP. I quickly explained that Road Runner was her ISP. She could still use AOL software without paying the money. Finally she was able to get them to quit charging her. They got away with that for years. The most unethical business practices of just about any business out there. I am glad those crooks can sleep well at night knowing that they prey on the ignorance of others. Throw a bunch of technical jargon around and scare the caller into believing they need their service. AOL is like a bunch of thugs in a mafia short of the big guy coming by and breaking your legs for not paying. Everyone has heard the stories of trying to cancel. It took a few recorded phone calls getting published online to show it to the general public before they made it easier to cancel the service. In the end they will have to answer to God for all of their lies, cheating, deception, and fraud. I would love to see AOL close its doors but I know that is merely a dream. Perhaps in due time.

Should it be Don't Tase Me Bear?

Last time I checked I had to pay for internet service each month. What planet are you from?

A previous poster was correct... a simple search for "Pentalobe Screwdriver" will yield the right tool for the job. They tried... they seem to keep pissing off customers... When the iPhone 5 is released with the new OS version 5 and all of the new features only work on the iPhone 5 I am sure they will piss lots more people off. I am tired of it already.

Doubtful... Once a right is taken away or a tax imposed they are rarely reversed. It is the slow progressive steps that we should be concerned about. If they can't get what they want by attacking it head on they will just go after it one small piece at a time. Ultimately they get what they want because they got it piecemeal.

So while you sit there and get lag from your wireless mouse, keyboard, & monitor the guy with the cheap stuff will just keep fragging away while you lag.

So now you will want a flies in your soup? This seems a big ridiculous. You will have to pry ribeyes from my cold dead hands.

I would contend that it was neither. When you already know the password to a computer then you don't get credit for either. This was a criminal act similar to criminal trespass. If I was to leave my key on the front door of my house and someone used that key to enter my home it is still unauthorized access but wouldn't be breaking and entering. It would be a lesser charge. If she had actually cracked the password because they changed them when she was fired I would be more impressed. He IT career is over... Once she gets out she will be flipping burgers b/c she was an idiot.
